Ewwww.

You know, this isn't going to go over well, this endorsement of the former senator.

The guy who signed up to run for the seat after the former senator said he wouldn't, before he changed his mind (again), is and always has been, a strong labor union man.

Bob Kerrey never belonged to a union in his life.

More internecine warfare among the decimated Nebraska Democrats.....

A union goon got an endorsement letter from an organization he pays monthly dues to. 

What's next, a note from his mother telling everyone what a nice boy he is?

Oh whoa.

They're endorsing Brenda Council for the state legislature, when Ernie Chambers is running for that seat?

The union bosses must've been smoking good hash when they deliberated their endorsements.

This is not going to end well.  For the Democrats, that is.

Yeah, the one candidate running unopposed, a former state senator if I recall correctly; a Democrat somewhat to the right of Ben Nelson.

Thats it?!!

On the endorsement. The only thing people will see is Bob Kerry getting the thumbs up. No one will scroll down to read the fine print.

and having your name at the bottom of a list of candidates means nothing either.
 
Steve, dude, you have a 1000 bucks. Print some flyers with a message, insert them in windshield wipers at a mall. Buy an add, DO something!
*** this is just pathetic.

Look. You have a captive audience at DU. USE THEM. Write a flyer, a press release, or a simple speech and print it out. Free feedback from the DUmp. They will give you good suggestions. Then come here and see how the opposition will react.
--Get fellow DUers to pose questions and answer them in a safe environment.

You need to address certain issues.
1) The pot holes. Basic city maintence stuff. every candidate need to hit this stuff.
2) schools. Family issues.
**** Now thats stuff your oponents will say.
**** Here is a suggestion on how to stand out.
3) Unions, more than just the platitudes every politico caters too...You have an inside view few (if any) of your opponenst have. Do you think unions will be good for every worker in Bellevue? Do cops have the right to strike? Talking about WI might bring home the bacon for you.
4) National issues. Gay Marriage. Abortion rights. Gun rights. You, Steve are an up and coming politician. Time to give the impression that you are well versed in all things.

Steve, the months will fly away before you are ready. ACT NOW.

He needs to come out against right-to-work, he needs to pledge that he'll make it mandatory for any contractor doing work in Bellevue to use only union labor.

Above all, he needs to be sure his lifelong devotion to socialism is made clear. That alone will separate him from the pack, and ensure that he gets some local press coverage.

The DUmp has established a fact that whenever a democrat loses, it's because he wasn't far enough to the left. Here's a chance to prove that out.

Hey, Steve, you need to stand out from the crowd.

Be sure to emphasize your strong anti-military message. Post that picture of you with the world-famous anti-war demonstrator Cindy Sheehan.

You know the picture I mean- the one where she's giving you a little wiggle-finger while you try to hold it together for the camera:



You'll awaken a sleeping giant. Ride that wave, Steve!

Damn son when you are right you are right.  Run left Steve, run left. 

Oh and you guys really need to learn how to spell Kerrey's name that is the second thread over there I have seen where folk claim to know Kerrey but spell his name wrong. It is Bob Kerrey and John Kerry.  Both served in Viet Nam but it is  Bob, a MOH SEAL who admited feeling guilty about killing women and children. 


Quote
In 2001, the New York Times Magazine and 60 Minutes II carried reports on an incident that occurred during Kerrey's Vietnam War service. On February 25, 1969, he led a Swift Boat raid on the isolated peasant village of Thanh Phong, Vietnam, targeting a Viet Cong leader that intelligence suggested would be present. The village was considered part of a free-fire zone by the U.S. military.

Kerrey's SEAL team first encountered a peasant house, or hooch, and killed the people inside with knives. While Kerrey says he did not go inside the hooch and did not participate in the killings, another member of the team, Gerhard Klann, said that the people killed there were an elderly man and woman and three children under 12, and that Kerrey helped kill the man. Despite the differing recollections about who actually stabbed these people, Kerrey accepts responsibility as the team leader for their deaths: "Standard operating procedure was to dispose of the people we made contact with," he told the New York Times Magazine.[7] Later, according to Kerrey, the team was shot at from the village and returned fire, only to find after the battle that some of the deceased appeared to be under 18, clustered together in the center of the village. "The thing that I will remember until the day I die is walking in and finding, I don't know, 14 or so, I don't even know what the number was, women and children who were dead," Kerrey said in 1998. "I was expecting to find Vietcong soldiers with weapons, dead. Instead I found women and children."[7]

Kerrey expressed anguish and guilt over the incident:

You can never, can never get away from it. It darkens your day. I thought dying for your country was the worst thing that could happen to you, and I don't think it is. I think killing for your country can be a lot worse.[8]

Kerrey was awarded a Bronze Star for the raid on Thanh Phong. The citation for the medal reads, "The net result of his patrol was 21 Viet Cong killed, two hooches destroyed and two enemy weapons captured."
