Ben Nelson's Response

<< < (6/9) > >>

Dan W:
  We can not put our hopes in any one  candidate, but we must instead adhere to our conservative  principles, and see to it that our cause moves forward by espousing those very same principles in all our actions. Especially in  the voting booth .

I really Like Tony Fulton, and I hope he can carry the conservative principle forward in the Liberal bastion that is Lincoln NE.  He is not in my district, but the next one over, yet I plan to help him in his next endeavor.

Dan W:
 YES Ernie could return...The law bars senators from serving more than two consecutive four-year terms, but they could return after sitting out one term.


Initiative Constitutional Amendment

Amends the Nebraska Constitution so as to limit members of the Nebraska Legislature to two consecutive terms. Under this amendment, no person will be eligible to serve as a member of the Nebraska Legislature for four years after the completion of two consecutive legislative terms. Legislative service prior to January 1, 2001, will not be counted for calculating consecutive terms, and service in office for more than one-half of a term will be considered service for a full term.

Sorry my bad. Thanks for setting me straight. That's not good.
 I agree that we need to stick to our principles and Fulton would be good but I don't know if he could beat Nelson. I guess we'll see what happens in 2012. Should be interesting.

SBarry:
That's what I am afraid of, ernie got his stool pigeon to sit on his perch while he is probably living on the taxpayer dime. I wonder if he is using his time off to become a better father?

He hand picks Rosie O'Council to go in for him till he is rested up and can return. I hope the other senators will grow some balls, tell him to sit down and shut up, and let this state get back to where it should be.

I'm with Armed, on the theory that the Governor is somewhat of a puppet. It just seems to me that if someone can't show him a poll to prove that something is popular he won't do it. Which worries me since if you watch the news you find some polls that say such and such is popular and then the next day someone else releases "data" that contradicts it.  And honestly I don't know that either party (and I am registered Republican) is really going to give us a decent candidate. The republicans will hand pick who they want to run, and that person will be the closest they can be to a liberal and still consider themselves a "conservative" Hence why McCain was shown the entrance and so much face time. Just remember all the "conservatism is dead" stories on the news shortly after the election. Both parties have moved to the left. And if they believe that the movement in the country is to the left..... where do you think they are going to go to get back in power? We may need to find some independent people and I think some will come from the democrats and some from the republicans. Honestly for me I don't care about what animal they have on thier underpants (ass or pachyderm). I just want to know the guy getting my vote is going to stand by what they said they believe in the campaign (the things they said that they did at least) And then stick to their guns and make others do the same. No back room deals none of this crap of well, we violated the free market principals, to save the free market. Bull****. NO more standing there and saying " NO LOBBYISTS" and then hiring them into the administration. (you will notice that I did rip on Bush for the free market thing and then on Obama for his No lobbyists policy. Both parties are full of it and I am sick of it. Lets see some real candidates that still have their head on their shoulders and not up their hind ends.

Sorry I got a little passionate there. But I am sick of watching our politicians not using their head for anything more than a glorified bathroom vent. (spewing nothing but hot air and the stench of fecal waste.)
