Sarah "the dumb bitch" Palin Pulls Off Another Stunning Upset In The Nebraska Republican Primary For Federal Senate...


Recommended Posts

Yes boys and girls, the "dimwit" from Alaska who knows nothing has somehow lucked out again and stands, once again, at the forefront of the move to take back out country.


 


"Nebraska state Sen. Deb Fischer scored a major upset in the Cornhusker State's Republican Senate primary, a three-way race that divided prominent conservatives Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum and Jim DeMint.


Fischer surged in the final days of the campaign to defeat Attorney General Jon Bruning and state Treasurer Don Stenberg, winning 40 percent of the support. Bruning garnered 36 percent, and Stenberg had 19 percent."


 


While those two candidates drew the most attention, Fischer flew quietly under the radar.


 


Last week, former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin endorsed Fischer, and the Tea Party darling voiced robo-calls on her behalf. The momentum appeared to shift toward Fischer in the final days of the campaign, with a pair of polls showing her a few points ahead. In the final weekend, a super PAC run by Ameritrade founder Joe Ricketts spent $200,000 in ads supporting her. The Bruning campaign called foul, as those spots used some of the same video that appeared in a Fischer campaign ad.


 


ShePAC, a Republican group that supports conservative women and comprised of former Palin aides, backed Fischer, promoting her through Facebook ads, Web videos, and emails. The Ending Spending Fund also ran two ads in support of Fischer -- one touting her ranching roots and casting her two opponents as “lifetime politicians,” and another attacking Bruning on ethical matters.


 


Operatives describe Fischer as the most moderate of the three conservatives who competed for the GOP nod. National and state party officials are confident in her ability to compete against Kerrey. “There might just be some concern because she will have come through the primary relatively unscathed,” said one Republican operative, who also noted that there was "no hesitation" she could run ahead of Kerrey.


 


In congratulating the victor, National Republican Senatorial Committee Chairman John Cornyn focused on Fischer’s narrative. “Deb is a small business rancher, mother and conservative leader who believes we need to spend less, balance our budget and repeal ObamaCare, while her opponent supports bigger government and higher taxes,” he said.


 


Yep, some of "'ole" dumb bitch Sarah's campaign staffers, along with some Tea Party folks formed ShePAC.


 


"A relatively new Republican super PAC, which previously garnered attention through a punchy Web video highlighting offensive comments by comedian Bill Maher, has kicked off a fundraising push for five conservative women running for the U.S. Senate.


 


Helmed by Tea Party leaders Suzie Terrell and Teri Christoph, along with Tim Crawford, the treasurer for Sarah Palin's political action committee, ShePAC on Wednesday blasted out a new Web video seeking donations for the candidates: Heather Wilson (New Mexico), Deb Fischer (Nebraska), Linda McMahon (pictured; Connecticut), Linda Lingle (Hawaii) and Sarah Steelman (Missouri)


 


Each of the ShePAC-backed contenders is running in a contested Republican primary, and four are competing to replace a retiring senator.


 


The new video, which will be targeted later this week to social media platforms in the five states, notes that the challengers 'have the power to stop the Obama-Reid agenda.'"


 


“2012 won’t be a war on women,” the text in the ad says, “it will be a war by women.”





Yep, "ole" dumb bitch Sarah, what does she know...seems like she knows quite a lot...

Adam,

I'm glad a party hack will not be the nominee in this race. Bob Kerrey is one of the few good Democrats in the Senate, so if he goes down, I want it to make a difference.

James:

Totally agree. I am a great admirer of that Kerrey. Who actually did serve in Vietnam. Left a piece of himself there and "acquired a medal" for incredible heroism:

His Medal of Honor citation reads:[6]

Medal of Honor

For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while serving as a SEAL team leader during action against enemy aggressor (Viet Cong) forces. Acting in response to reliable intelligence, Lt. (j.g.) Kerrey led his SEAL team on a mission to capture important members of the enemy's area political cadre known to be located on an island in the bay of Nha Trang. In order to surprise the enemy, he and his team scaled a 350-foot sheer cliff to place themselves above the ledge on which the enemy was located. Splitting his team in 2 elements and coordinating both, Lt. (jg.) Kerrey led his men in the treacherous downward descent to the enemy's camp. Just as they neared the end of their descent, intense enemy fire was directed at them, and Lt. (jg.) Kerrey received massive injuries from a grenade that exploded at his feet and threw him backward onto the jagged rocks. Although bleeding profusely and suffering great pain, he displayed outstanding courage and presence of mind in immediately directing his element's fire into the heart of the enemy camp. Utilizing his radio, Lt. (jg.) Kerrey called in the second element's fire support, which caught the confused Viet Cong in a devastating crossfire. After successfully suppressing the enemy's fire, and although immobilized by his multiple wounds, he continued to maintain calm, superlative control as he ordered his team to secure and defend an extraction site. Lt. (jg.) Kerrey resolutely directed his men, despite his near unconscious state, until he was eventually evacuated by helicopter. The havoc brought to the enemy by this very successful mission cannot be over-estimated. The enemy soldiers who were captured provided critical intelligence to the allied effort. Lt. (jg.) Kerrey's courageous and inspiring leadership, valiant fighting spirit, and tenacious devotion to duty in the face of almost overwhelming opposition sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service.

Additionally, he is a thoughtful man and you can have an intelligent argument with him.

Well put James.

Adam,

Thanks for the update! I'd forgotten Kerrey had retired.

Jim

No problem.

He was the President of the New School for Social Research here in NY City for quite a while and made some really innovative programs come to life.

A truly great man.
