#03 Top DUmmie of 2011 (Omaha Steve)

[Chris_]

Our ballot is polluted with judges running on the Democratic party ticket.

I'll vote for them after Hell freezes over.

[formerlurker]

One thing to remember in informing the people of Bellevue about this currently unemployable candidate for city council is that their council races are apparently "non-partisan".

Of course that's the same as being "non-beathing" or "non-existant", but there's a small learning-impaired segment of the population that still believes a political situation can be non-partisan. It's mainly those imbeciles who call themselves "independent", because they have no beliefs or philosophy.

Anyway, it's a convenient way for a democrat to hide his affiliation in a city largely populated by civilized, decent people.

Unless they are helped, a lot of Bellevue voters won't know the Weeper is a democrat, let alone someone who has "always supported socialism".

When I looked right about the same time Chief Weeping Bull announced he was going to run, I checked the Bellevue city site, the official one, and I don't recall it showed party affiliations.

So that would probably explain my assertion that city council races in Nebraska are non-partisan, because all that I know, are--but there may be exceptions, and Bellevue may be one of those.

If you read the top of that Sarpy County page, it says 

Party affiliation of the candidate (even for non-partisan races) is reflected for the convenience of the voter.

No party affiliations are listed in the Bellevue pages. I believe this election is "non-partisan", a charade for morons. At least this Sarpy County page lets decent and civilized people know who the disguised democrat candidates are.

The unfortunate thing is that most decent and civilized people will never read the names of these obscure politicians until they're inside the voting booth, and the "non-partisan" deception will give leftist democrats a lot of unintended votes form decent and civilized people.

Hopefully, the electorate can be educated about at least one self-avowed socialist on their ballot, including the "disability" scam he's playing on the taxpayers to allow full time for his deceptive campaign.

It should not be too difficult to be sure that every registered voter in Bellevue Ward One has a chance to read the Weeper's own words declaring his allegiance to socialism.

They could use alliteration to remember the association. "Steve", "Scam", "Socialist", and "Sob" all start with "S".

[GOBUCKS]

Just noticed a new one from the Weeper, trying unsuccessfully to smear coach.

His attack lost all its sting when he included a simply outstanding, incredible nadinism:

50. Yep my upcoming opponent is now handy capped by having Fs as a follower


It's called baggage. And Fs doesn't have the balls to admit it is him. What is HE scared of?

Handy capped! It's really hard to imagine a native English speaker being stupid enough to write that!

This is the opening shot in the Weeper's 2012 Top DUmmy campaign.

He won't be cheated again!

Did you hear that, nutcase?
 

[BlueStateSaint]

I've got a question for the assembled voters.

Would this:

handy capped

qualify as a Nadinism, or should a new category be created?

[GOBUCKS]

It's a nadinism.

Through great, though unintended, effort, she has created a new category of malaprop.

Are we to interpret the F's as meaning freeper?

52. I think I know the DU troll identity.


And I am shocked. But -- as a long-time forensic editor -- I recognize the speech patterns after reading his stuff on FR. There is a tell. A tell.

Looks like this DUmmy is taking a page out of Nadin's DOTY playbook and trying to one-up her at the same time.  Some how I just don't see him staying the course and will probably fade badly down the stretch.

[BlueStateSaint]

That's MHO, as well.

That's hilarious!

Poor, addled grasswire, trundling around town, bundled up in three overcoats even in summer, muttering about a pie shop as she pulls her little red wagon piled high with junk salvaged from the trash set out by normal folks.

She's becoming a common sight along the byways of Milwaukie, Oregon, and none of he normal folks have any idea what she does.

She's a forensic editor! That's the ticket! Through the heavy cobwebs of misfiring synapses, tomorrow she may be a molecular biologist, or a psychic.

She recognizes a troll from his speech patterns. She's the first DUmmy to realize that The Magistrate is actually franksolich, and she's shocked!

His carefully crafted cover has been blown, and this is truly a sad day.

Coach is good, but he's no match for the addled, mumbling grasswire.

I didn't know she's a she.  I assumed it was a he, but then again I'm not a forensic editor.

Formerlurker;
Please note that the Weeper will have until 01 March to register/turn in candidate paper work. He still has time.

And , that may be a tactic to get someone, anyone to start badmouthing him early to the local R's and the newspapers. Best to bookmark the site until a Dawes shows up on the candidates list.

[Tucker]

That's MHO, as well.

With the space, would that be Frank solich?

I am curious how many signatures he requires to get on the ballot.   His lofty goal is to raise more than $5K in campaign funds, which will require him to start campaigning NOW if the election is in May.   

This is a list of offices to be filled in Sarpy County, Nebraska by elections held on May 15, 2012 or November 6, 2012.
*Polling place hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.

Looking at older election results it does appear that the election for city council is in November.    That is still cutting it close - although I have no knowledge about Bellevue, it's size, budget etc.

There is a filing fee though he will have to pay -- look for the hat going up for that soon.  Dude is on a disability.  He can't pay $110.   

[franksolich]

I noticed a campfire--in the cooking and baking forum, I think, but I'm not sure--where the grasswire primitive wrote about one of her descendants, apparently a boy of circa kindergarten age, "helped" her with some cooking.

She identified him as her "great-great-grandson."

Whoa.

The grasswire primitive's about 65 years old--there must be some child-marriages in there somewhere.

Nothing against the innocent child, of course, but man, there must've been some early marriages in that family tree.

I'm not aware of any requirement for "signatures" in Nebraska.

I think one gets on a ballot by simply paying the filing fee, usually circa 1% of the annual salary of the office (and so it can cost about $1,860 to run for congressman, for example--whatever 1% of their annual salary is).   

Looking at older election results it does appear that the election for city council is in November.    That is still cutting it close - although I have no knowledge about Bellevue, it's size, budget etc.

Bellevue's the third-largest city in Nebraska, after Omaha and Lincoln; about 45,000 people.  It's not the first settlement in Nebraska, but the first actual town in Nebraska, dating from the 1850s.

There is a filing fee though he will have to pay -- look for the hat going up for that soon.  Dude is on a disability.  He can't pay $110.

One can avoid the filing fee by filing as a pauper--Democrat candidates against really popular Republican incumbents do that quite a bit--but the standards of paupery in Nebraska are pretty stringent, and I don't think Omaha Steve would meet them.  The Democrat candidate against U.S. Senator Charles Hagel (R-Nebraska) in 2002, for example, was a homeless guy (really). 

Probably Chief Weeping Bull would like to avoid having to pay the fee, but I don't think he can.

[franksolich]

Franksolich?

I have no idea.

I'm however getting the idea though that the turtle dude is an Einsteinian genius at devising "code" talk (so as to get around the prohibition on mentioning us on Skins's island), when compared with Chief Weeping Bull.

All you have to do is pay a filing fee to get on the ballot?  Oh dear.  That is some messed up stuff right there.

It does say non-partisan on the top of this set of election results.   Houghtaling beat his opponents quite easily.   Not a fantastic turnout, but I expect that to be much higher this November due to presidential election.

In that way, I guess I'm like the provincial yenta; I thought that was pretty much the rule everywhere--pay the fee, and one's on the ballot.  I've never in my life seen a petition to put someone's name on a ballot, only petitions to put one initiative or another on a ballot.

But it's $110 for that position.

Rather than yanking the dough out of his own wallet, one suspects Chief Weeping Bull's going to try to get someone else to pay for it.  After all, $110 would buy a lot of Star Trek toys.

[formerlurker]

In MA you have to collect signatures.  The amount of which is directly connected to registered voters and/or how many voters voted in last election.   In some towns you can also get on the ballot by caucus meetings of town members, however that is not very common. 

I was under the impression that collecting signatures was standing operating procedure in every state.   Learn something new every day.    I guess I am neglecting the Google.

That could be why the filing fees are high in Nebraska--and they are high--so as to discourage frivolous filings, like Chief Weeping Bull's.
