Did Socialist Steve Dawes Give up? Did we win?

[GOBUCKS]

Bellevue has strict rules that you cannot place signs on public property

That would be tough on the libertarians.

I've never seen a ronbot sign anywhere but on a utility pole.

Each pole within five miles of a college campus has a dozen ronbot signs, year 'round.

[zeitgeist]

Uh huh.

Coach I voted no but have been so detached from the legend of Stevie Dawes, Candidate at Large (or is that Large Candidate) for some thankless job in Pulukaville.  When last I knew he had been having some 'issues' with his fellow workers but I don't have time to do a hand over hand thread search to see if I am remembering this right.  Any further insights on the loudmouth lout lambasting his peers back along?  Thx in advance.

Hey, I'm calling voter fraud on the poll results!  It appears all 12 of us CC members have been voting multiple times 

[67 Rover]

If Steve doesn't get elected it will only be because it was a vast racist plot.

A sludge boating of epic proportions.

You're probably the last person on conservativecave to be apprised of the big guy, sir.

He's in the doghouse all over the place:

(a) with his wife Marta and his kids and kids-in-law, for having made such an ass of himself.

(b) with the professional Democrats of Sarpy County, whose advice and counsel he ignored.

(b) with his bosses and coworkers for the ways he's trashed them on Skins's island.

(c) with his union for the ways the big guy's railed against them on Skins's island.

(d) with his liberal Democrat printer friend down in Lincoln, because he owes money for his campaign yard-signs, and he's not coughing up the cash, hence the print-job's being held hostage until he does.

(e) with the primitives, for having disappointed their hopes.

The big guy's got only himself to blame for this whole sordid mess; his problem is, he thinks he's smarter than everybody else.

Such is the fate of fools.

The actual ballots are printed with the names rotated; the big guy's name will appear on top one-fourth of the ballots.

Incumbents aren't listed first?

No, they're rotated.

In 2004, for example, the Bostonian Billionaire was on top of George Bush on my ballot.

It didn't help the Bostonian Billionaire, though.

Ah so, Stevie-son sounds like he is on track to sweep the bad behavior vote.  Do you suppose his mates found out his views on:

It seems that there is trouble in the big city. KFAB 1110 AM announcedvthat the police chief is in some kind of trouble that just cost him his job over something that occured Monday. I don't have a link and I hope OmahaSteve doesn't use this to skate into office.

There'll be a live thread here Tuesday night, May 15, reporting and commenting upon the Sarpy County votes.

I dunno where the Sarpy County Democrats are holding their wake, but it's reasonable to assume the Sarpy County Republicans will be up in Omaha--accommodations are bigger and nicer up there--with the Douglas County Republicans, celebrating.

I saw that about the Bellevue Chief of Police, but at the time, there were no comments.

One wonders what's up with that.

Whatever it is, it'll be interesting, the big guy's take on it.....if he has a take on it.

Police chief put on administrative leave

An investigation into allegedly inappropriate behavior by Bellevue Police Chief John Stacey should be complete within a week, Bellevue City Administrator Dan Berlowitz said Thursday.

Berlowitz said Stacey was placed on paid administrative leave Wednesday afternoon after allegedly making “inappropriate” remarks to someone at a Bellevue fire station on Monday. Berlowitz declined to specify the nature of the remarks, at whom they were directed, or the fire station at which the incident occurred.

He said the remarks were witnessed by multiple people.

Interviewed by the Bellevue Leader at his office at City Hall Thursday morning, Berlowitz said the allegations against Stacey have nothing to do with financial impropriety and are not connected to an ongoing scandal in the City of Gretna, where former City Administrator Colleen Lawry is facing felony theft charges.

Stacey has been barred from city property and ordered not to talk to city employees for the duration of the investigation, Berlowitz said.

He said the investigation will be led by City Attorney Pat Sullivan and that the results should be available in about a week.

Berlowitz said that any decision on discipline must await the outcome of the investigation.

Should the investigation conclude that no discipline is necessary then no action will be taken, he said.

Asked whether Stacey could be fired, Berlowitz said he is far from making any such decision.

Nevertheless, he said, any time an employee is placed on paid administrative leave, “the level of seriousness” is high.

Stacey has served with the Bellevue Police Department for more than 30 years and has served 39 years with the old Bellevue Volunteer Fire Department, 14 of those as chief.

I have no idea what this is about.

Keep in mind that most beat cops are conservatives that believe in the 2nd amendment. On the other hand, most Chiefs are politicians first, cops second. Most likely democrats and are anti 2nd amendment.

I went to Stella's for a burger last night and then drove through Old Town.  I did see (2) of the Hippo's signs.  Not very impressive when you look at the coverage his opponents are getting.

So.....you actually saw a couple of signs for the big guy?

Did they look professionally printed, or something the big guy made up with poster-board and Magic Markers in his garage?

www.electstevedawes.com

[Reaganite]

Yes, they looked somewhat professional, or at least the best a union shop could do.  One was actually on Bears Bar.

Thanks, sir.

I wonder how many there really are, because this is the first real-life sighting of them.

Both his supporters can autograph the yard sign.

The majority of responding police chiefs supported 11 out of 14 proposed firearm control policies. Most police chiefs (62%) believed that the government should do everything it can to keep handguns out of the hands of criminals, even if it makes it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to purchase handguns. Police chiefs were not likely to participate in the majority of firearm control advocacy activities. The advocacy activities that police chiefs were most likely to participate in were meeting with state legislators (52%) and writing a letter to a legislator in relation to gun control (44%).
CONCLUSIONS:

Police chiefs support several potentially important firearm control policies. This suggests the need to evaluate interventions aimed at increasing their role in shaping policy on this important public health issue.

Also Bloomberg's anti gun posse is supported by some Chief of Police org.

I know a lot of street/beat cops. I shoot with them. Their heart and head is in the right place.

I dunno how expensive those yard-signs are.

Around here, they're usually something like 2' x 3', and the paper's laminated over with plastic.

One should never let a good yard-sign go to waste, and so after the primary or the election, one takes the cardboard part off the upside-down "U'-shaped frame, folds it over, and voila! white space for making new yard-signs for the next election or primary.

We're tight out here.
