Whooo boy....where to start with that?

"Ever seen the jokesters post on Facebook or Twitter, the write-in name of Mickey Mouse for Mayor?"

Hey Eric, turn that razor sharp introspection on your own party and ask WHY those 'jokesters' have done that. Does it enter your conscious at all that maybe, just maybe, there are people out there who see your two party system as a political gag reel and choose to write in a cartoon character vs. cast a vote whatever political hair ball your party coughed up? Is voting a serious thing? Absolutely, you're exercising force. Are there 'jokesters'? To be sure. But, does it not point to the degradation of trust in our processes and the candidates we produce that people do this? You, the Uniparty, give them two variations of the same swill and then point fingers at them for not taking it seriously? There's a problem with these jokesters alright Eric and if you want to know what it is, look in the mirror.

"Carol Blood would be a disaster for the State of Nebraska. I’m not willing to risk a Democrat Governor and their liberal agenda destroying Nebraska. I’m not willing to risk the extreme difficulty that would ensue trying to pass Conservative legislation if a Democratic candidate would win the Governor’s seat. "

Here's the scare mongering I was referring to in my post yesterday. Pray tell me, Eric what conservative legislation has your ersatz conservative shill Jim Pillen passed? Voter ID? Oh wait...that hasn't been implemented yet and your own party is doing its very best to eviscerate it. Term limits? Yeah, Suzanne Geist and the GOP are doing their very best to destroy that as well. Why? Well, the answer I got when I grilled Geist about was because, 'When we pass legislation the permanent bureaucratic class in the state government knows they can just wait out whatever senator passed it and then ignore when they're gone. It takes 8-12 YEARS to get legislation implemented.' And yet I hear NOTHING from the NE GOP about draining our little corner of the swamp. Dismantle the permanent bureaucratic apparatus that thwarts the will of the people? Perish the thought. Let's destroy that very will by destroying term limits and giving legislators MORE time in the legislature. So the answer to the failure of government is MORE government. And you expect me to take this argument seriously.

"Then on November 9th, the NEGOP will continue to fight for election accountability and voter verification and ALL our Platform Values, utilizing our Legislative Plan and guided by those same Platform values. On November 9th, let’s get to work creating real change in Nebraska and protecting the Good Life."

Continue? I'm still waiting for you to start. See the examples I previously sited about how the NE GOP is seeking to undermine and thwart those very things. Your talk of 'platform values ' is only presumption. "Real change in Nebraska and protecting the Good Life" is an empty slogan. Only when you speak of self and party enrichment and corruption are you informed.

"And then go home, pray for our leaders, grab some popcorn, and watch the #REDWAVE wash over Nebraska."

This certainly aged well, Eric.
