4 Running For Bellevue City Council
BELLEVUE, Neb. -- Four candidates are vying for a seat on Bellevue's City Council.
Republican Scott Houghtaling is fighting to keep his position representing Ward I. His challengers are Libertarian Michael Knebel, Democrat Steve Dawes and Republican Steve Carmichael.
Michael Knebel believes pride in homeownership will push residents to make sure projects are done right.
"I think we can be trusted with a little bit more personal freedom from our local government," said Knebel.....

It's mostly one of those youtube things, so I couldn't catch what was said.
The video is almost exactly what is presented in print, word for word. You aren't missing anything important.
Dawes wants to change the primary natural gas provider for Ward I.
He said switching service companies is a cost-saving measure for the city, and it will add up even if it's not enough to lower taxes......

Wow... Suffice it to say there Lot's of post's of encouragement !!! Well done, Dawes'.... :rofl:
One hour, not a single comment. :lmao:
One of Steve Dawes' friends showed up and let the voters know where they could read Steve Dawes, Socialist running as a Democrat, in Bellevue NE Ward 1, in his own words.

I almost feel bad for him, his post at DUmmyland gets not a single reply. :-)
Ding, Ding we have a winner. Number lifting lady came through and replied to the big guy. A special thanks to her for looking out for him.
I decided to do a little prodding myself. I called the station and talked to the news editor regarding the segment. I mentioned that Steve Dawes was a proponent of one of the major national sites promoting democratic socialism in the United States, and even gave the link to the most bodacious site www.electstevedawes.com. He actually went to the site while I was on the phone, and has made a note of it for the reporter research pool. He even chuckled at the picture of the car; he remembered seeing it at an Omaha restaurant parked amid a lot of late model cars.
So consider the press duly notified of Steve's socialist views, and hope that we can help assist KETV when new news comes out about Steve, which we will certainly see it categorized smartly by www.electstevedawes.com.

3. Are you in an especially red area?

No, no, it's all good.Bottom feeders have no place to go but up.
We're after all concerned for the big guy.
But he has to learn; it's called "tough love."
His ego has to "hit bottom" before he can grasp a realistic perception of himself, who he is, what he is.
After which life will get better for him.
We love the big guy, but nothing else is going to teach him, and the sooner he hits bottom, the better for him.
DUmmy Annabanana must have noticed that Socialist Steve made no effort to make a good impression:

Marta and I had a 1 on 1 with a sitting US Senator and former US President last night
Edited on Sat Apr-30-11 02:31 PM by Omaha Steve
This has been a week to remember for me. Tuesday night was my local union meeting. Due to health reasons our Vice President is taking a disability pension. My name got considerable mention as his replacement. It is a full time job.
Wednesday night was the monthly meeting of the Omaha Federation of Labor AFL-CIO. I had missed a few meetings while recovering from my shoulder surgery. Let me just say people enjoy my comments on current labor topics. I'm speaking on labor tomorrow on the steps of the State Capitol.
Thursday afternoon I was in the audience for the Worker's Memorial Day (http://www.workingamerica.org/blog/2011/04/28/workers-m... /) services. Even I didn't know Nebraska was so high on the deaths per 100,000 list at 5th (http://nebraska.statepaper.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2011... ) in the nation. The memorial was held at Omaha's tribute to Labor Sculpture. The second largest in the US. The name of all that died in Nebraska on the job over the last two two years were read. The Memorial Bell was rung once after each name was read. The peacefulness of the Missouri River added to the solemness of the occasion. Also read were those in the armed forces that made to ultimate sacrifice for "peace in our time" from Nebraska over the last two years.
The Omaha Labor Sculpture
Last night was the crowning event of my big week. It was the second annual Democratic Legacy Dinner by the Sarpy County Democratic Party. The fund raiser of the year. Oh what a night. So many stars were shinning. From the grunts to the future leaders of "our" local area party. It was a perfect night.
Marta and I arrived half way through the opening casual drink up mixer hour. We bumped into old friends the moment we walked in the door. It was old home week. We put on our name tags and had an escort to our table. On the way there Peg O'Day Lippert (the event chair) made a big smile and came straight over to Marta and I. She was obviously glad to see us there. She said "be sure you talk to President Truman before sitting down".
We didn't know for sure we would be able to attend. Marta is on call this entire weekend. She has to do system updates tonight starting at midnight and will be at it a couple hours from home.
Immediately after being shown to our table, we headed to the silent auction area. I wanted to see how well our union grown and packed coffee and wine gift basket was doing. By the end of the auction it got it's full value and I was very happy about that. We also won three different items as an icing on the cake.
I picked this for our middle granddaughter:
Marta and I grabbed one bottle of beer each and started mixing with the filled room of party members. After shaking hands and saying hello to everyone we knew, we walked over to talk with President Harry S. Truman. It was some talk. Marta knew several things about his home in Missouri. He was impressed with the trivia we both knew. I talked about his relationship with organized labor. FDR, Truman, and JFK are by far the best friends the house of labor ever had in the White House. I must admit some of the knowledge about his relationship with labor I learned from my "Today in Labor History" posts in the DU Labor Forum. Marta mentioned that Harry is her favorite President. With his vast knowledge and accurate portrayal, it was easy to believe we were talking to the real deal of a man. We bought an autographed copy of his book.
Niel M. Johnson as President Harry S. Truman

Not to dominate the central figure of the evenings time, we excused our selves as others came over to chat. I saw Senator Ben Nelson and had to use the time wisely. I have written the Senators office a few times this year about labor issues and his distancing from EFCA. His office has extended me the chance to come in any time to talk things over. The first thing I mentioned was that I pretty much run the Labor Forum on the DU. It got his attention. He is well aware of us. He knows the DU can be critical of him at times. I said that every chance I get, I point out that Nebraska will never elect anyone that even mentions the word liberal. I thanked him for voting at about 80% with labor lifetime in his senate career. I also mentioned five years ago I was in the room of Omaha labor elite that pumped over a quarter of a million dollars into his campaign coffers in an hours time.
Marta and I had a wonderful evening. We put a couple hundred dollars into the county party war chest. The low point was me in a suit for the first time in years. I'll be in a tux next week for a local film event.
I want to thank Peg O'Dea Lippert and Bellevue Councilwoman Carol Blood for the hard work they do to benefit our party. I wish every county party had two just like them.

Sloane Owens , I did read a lot of it. Anyone could create an account called "Omaha steve" and make posts claiming to be Steve Dawes. As for the site, the wording is CLEARLY negative toward Mr. dawes and is not an official site. The site itself was also registered through a proxy service to hide the true coward behind the site.

Very seedy. I noticed he said "the codes are there to protect the people, not make it harder on them." That all depends, Steve. This quote combined with the look on his face--faux concern, highhanded paternalism--was the typical arrogant leftism. Some codes seem arbitrary and onerous in many locales (just ask Ballygrl and her remodeling nightmares). Some codes have the stench of crony protectionism, particularly when a union can get its grubby paws involved.
You can comment at the KETV site if you have facebook. The commenter mentioned above, from the Community College, is a fan of Socialism.

1) How can that site be anti-Steve Dawes when it's nothing but his own words? It's all links to his postings at the very hateful website called DU. Go read some of the postings, it's pretty vile stuff. That website is known as the stromfront of the left.
2) You might want to review what Mr. Dawes brand of socialism is.....just read his own words.
John Har is definitely not smarter than the average bear.

He'd probably be eaten by the average bear, in the wilds of Alaska.Wasn't there a bearhugger named treadway or treadwell or some such, who was doing a non sponsored documentary on bears, and fancied himself an absolute expert on bear behavior, who got passed by a bear in the woods of Alaska ? Maybe dude is related in some way.

Yeah, something like that. The guy's camera had some pics of the suspected "diner," too.The movie is Grizzly Man, and it is a really spooky documentary of this pothead treehugger who became a bearhugger.

After filming several years of madness, he and his hippy dippy girlfriend became bear chow.
They later killed the bear that ate him. They know they got the right bear, because his forearm with his wristwatch was in its stomach.
The watch was still ticking.
The movie is on Netflix streaming and it's well worth watching.
It takes a licking, and keeps on...
How anyone can sit there behind a keyboard and the the world that the words OmahaSteve posted on DU and other sites are not his is a raving loon. At least three times now we here have asked the question "is it or is it not his words "? Not one of them including OmahaSteve has proven that they are not his words.

The primitives don't actually read.Interpretive reading is a gift, and a curse.
The primitives "read" what they "think" is written.
Nothing will convince them.HEY PRIMITIVES!
IT'S THE BIG GUY'S OWN WORDS!
The primitives won't even read that correctly.

Not true. They can always live on the bottom of the sea sucking up the trash and shit left behind by those more worthy then they are.

Well, but there is a silver lining.Without being mugged ?
Once the big guy hits bottom and comes to realize what he really is, comes to his senses, it'll change his life.
For the better.
He might even become a dedicated Republican.
