For the truth on Sue Lowden's sordid history, see www.fairnevadaelections.com
I suspect that Republican operatives in Washington are at last viewing Sue Lowden as damaged goods as her connection with the sabotaged state convention becomes more widely known.
Sue Lowden is going to need more than money to offset the negative reputation that she acquired as the result of the stealing of the 2008 convention election. See www.fairnevadaelections.com
Sorry, made a spelling mistake in the link. It should be www.fairnevadaelections.com
Voters may want to check out some reasons for not voting for Sue Lowden, at the following website:
In 2005, I was hospitalized in Henderson for an infection related to a problem with Kidney stones. I was in intensive care for two days. The infectious disease doctors brought me back from the serious infection. However, during that time, I came into contact with Dr. Sanjay Vohra who persuaded me to have a chemical stress test on my heart. I agreed to that. After the test, he said that I had some "blockage" and he recommended an angiogram. Dr. Vohra came back again and again with high pressure techniques similar to a used car salesman. He sent two other doctors to persuade me to have the angiogram. I refused. Altogether he visited me about 5 times to persuade me to have the angiogram, never once telling me about the risks involved. I learned later that the procedure has about a 1 percent fatality rate.
A few weeks after leaving the hospital, I went to see Dr. McMahan, a cardiologist who was highly recommended. I told him about the high pressure techniques of Dr. Vohra and in a scoffing way, he said, "That's the Dr. Vohra I know." He also said "Let me guess, he wanted you to have an angiogram." And I replied that that this was correct. Dr. MacMahan then suggested that I take a low dose aspirin each day, which I have done for the 4 years since. I have had no heart symptoms.
After the appointment with Dr. McMahan, I wrote a letter of complaint to the hospital administrator about Dr. Vohra's high pressure sales pitch. The administrator wrote back and said that there would be a hearing but that they could no divulge the results of the hearing. Dr. Vohra is still on the staff of the hospital (St. Rose).
At that time, I looked on the website of the Medial Examiners board and found that there was a complaint about Dr. Vohra with the complaint being that he had not informed a patient of the risks of some procedure. Dr. Vohra presented a defense which satisfied the board. Apparently he was able to convince the board that he had informed the patient of certain risks.
I know that in my case, after visiting me several times trying to sign on for the angiogram, Dr. Vohra never once mentioned any risks related to the procedure.
A few weeks ago, four years after my hospitalization, I had an extensive series of heart tests, simply as a precaution because of my age (64). The findings were that there is no blockage and my heart is in good condition. They said come back in 5 years.
I have heard recently from another family who had someone hospitalized at St. Rose, that the high pressure sales pitch for heart related tests is still going on there.
If anyone who reads this is pressured for an angiogram by Dr. Sanjay Vohra, I strongly suggest that a second opinion be sought.
It is hard to imagine that Chuck the Mouth is taken seriously by anyone but apparently a few do take him seriously. I hear that he sometimes advises Sue Lowden in her moments of irrationality.
Sue Lowden does not have the qualities necessary to be a responsible Senator. She disrupted the election at the state convention in much the same manner as expected from a South American dictator. Halting an election because she didn't like the outcome is not acceptable behavior. For a detailed account of her unacceptable actions, see my website at:
The Ron Paul delegates were far more gracious than the party regulars deserve. In April the party leadership prevented, using illegitimate tactics, the election of a delegation consisting of predominately Ron Paul delegates. At the national convention, those running the convention had the Ron Paul delegates followed every day and also subjected them to mild harassment. So I think it was quite gracious of Carl Bunce and Chris Dyer to offer their votes for John McCain. If McCain is elected I wonder what his people will do at the next convention, maybe tap the telephones of any opposition?
