poll: how do you rate Operation Omaha Steve?
« on: May 16, 2012, 06:22:30 PM »
How does one rate Operation Omaha Steve, a multi-faceted public service for the Good of Humanity, exposing the stupidities of the primitives for all the world to see?

Operation Omaha Steve was a joint endeavor between the friends of the big guy and the DUmpster, two wholly separate entities.

As mentioned elsewhere here in the DUmpster, Operation Omaha Steve was not generated specifically against the big guy, but more so against the brazen stupidities of the primitives. 

The big guy just by sheer coincidence happened to make himself the target, and now that Operation Omaha Steve is done, over with, one can reasonably assume the big guy and franksolich will resume their temporarily-interrupted bonhommie and friendship. 

In fact, it's entirely possible that by the end of the summer, the big guy and franksolich will be sitting out on the front porch of the big guy's house in Bellevue, sipping lemonade and watching the children play in the streets, both of us reminiscencing about the good times of Operation Omaha Steve, sharing some warm chuckles and laughs over it.

That's the way we Nebraskans are.

Now, if one answers option 1 or option 2, please comment about whether or not you think Operation Omaha Steve will rate as one of the top events on Skins's island for 2012.

Oh I'm sorry, I misread the statement.  I thought it was asking how I rated Omaha Steve's operation.

I would rate the Friends of Steve operation at number 1.

OS wasn't really worth the time and the trouble but his friends efforts certainly were.

Ah, thank you Frank.

It went about as expected -

Now - To wait & see if there is aftermath. Most POPs lose their standing after they taste political defeat, and then quietly fade into obscurity. The primitives don't like those who remind them that they are also losers.

Well, as has already been related in another thread here, we were somewhat rougher with the big guy, than we usually are with the primitives.

That's because we were using the primitives' own "Sarah Palin rule," where everything goes, instead of being more restrained in our critiques of the primitives as we usually are.

Generally the DUmpster comes down on the primitives like a feather being swatted on a primitive's shoulder.

The big guy got not the feather, but a wooden popsicle stick slapped on his shoulder.

I thought it went better than expected.  After Steve Dawes tried to eviscerate his own campaign of any meaningful details because he knew full well he was going to have to lie to the good people of Bellevue to even be considered, I think he got better than he deserved.  

Personally, I am hoping the big guy will try for a write-in campaign for November.  I'm not sure if I can put up with wall-to-wall nads until December.

I don't post a lot due to my work and family life. But do read the DUmpster forum often and this was a very entertaining endeavor. I actually stayed up a little later then normal last night to see the results (and posts) come in. Good work all.....

Thank you, sir; that shows we're doing our job as a public service for the good of humanity, enlightening the world about the primitives.

It turned out about how I thought it would,doubted he could ever have done better but also disappointed a bit the primitives didn`t discombobulate more over it.
Guess they did not give him much of a chance either.

A good training ground for bigger and better things though so be afraid lurking DUmmies...be very afraid.

I have to admit that I'm somewhat disappointed. Or, maybe underwhelmed is the word. Not with the friends of Steve Dawes, of course. They did a great public service by making sure the electorate was aware of the socialists true leanings.

No, I was disappointed by the bug guys lack of zest on the campaign trail. Generally, when one make a commitment to run for office they put their all into it. All I saw out of the weeper was a couple of Q&A sessions with the local newsrags, a couple LTTE, and a two-bit fundraiser at a dive bar. One wonders if he actually knocked on any doors at all?

Even the DUmp was barely lukewarm in support. How many of OS's posts sank into oblivion with nary a peep from his comrades? So much for helping out a friend in a time of need. Well, I suppose they did donate some out-of-state money.

All-in-all, what began with great fanfare and liberal grassroots energy ended with an embarrassingly deflated thud.

It was those damn mini-tacos.

Those cheap, cheesy mini-tacos.

If he'd had SuperPAC money, like Houghtaling, he could have offered full-size tacos, maybe even enchiladas.

Enchiladas, or even better yet, burritos, would have clinched this damn election.

But no.

A man of the people is limited to mini-freaking-tacos.

I really think that the brilliant website that the friends of Steve Dawes put together blindsided the primitives, and utterly discombobulated them beyond any hope of recovery, and so any enthusiasm they originally had dried up pretty fast.  

Was it not one of the primitives months back that said if your opponent was so demoralized at the end of his campaign that he wishes he were never born, that you succeeded?

I think Steve just gave up the moment the website went up.
He couldn't argue with a single thing. Truth is not something you can hide. Had Steve made it past the primary he would have to answer questions from the Friends of Steve, and he would not do that.

So he gave up. Steve was defeated long before the first vote was cast. you can't fight the truth.

But then everyone would find out how many signs he actually bought with the money.

He really needed to remove himself from DU before running- one thing the administrators did right with the design of the website (in all of its incarnations) was maintain the database at all costs. All of the posts that ended up in the archives are still there, and they are real easy to search through. By tying his campaign to DU, he tied all of the site to his campaign - including the embarrassing things he posted and forgot about. Lessons learned, I suppose.

That was I, the day the big guy announced.

I thought it was a mistake he announced his candidacy right there on Skins's island, but that couldn't be helped; it was already a fait accompli, a done thing, and one can't go back and change history.

It would've been better if he announced in front of the office of the Sarpy County Democrats, or at the city hall, or something like that, no mention of it on Skins's island.

However, I thought the damage could be minimized if after that announcement, the big guy just evaporated from Skins's island.  No message of farewell, no other sorts of comments.  Just immediately going out the door without explanation.

The idea being that by spring (he announced last autumn, remember), Omaha Steve would've been forgotten, and in real life, no one would've connected the primitive Omaha Steve with the real-life personality Steve Dawes, and the big guy could coast on to victory unseen and unsullied.

But did the big guy listen to franksolich, who had his best interests at heart?

N-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o.

I'm sure the professional Democrats of Sarpy County advised the big guy exactly the same thing; shed all connections with those things that make you come across as a fringe, an extremist, a Hater, an ultra, a kook, a moonbat.

Instead, he constantly hung around Skins's island, flaunting his primitivity.

I'm not aware that my fellow Nebraskan's blaming anyone yet, for his defeat, but probably if he is, he should be blaming his own self.

It was about what I expected.

Better than I expected would have involved him putting a gun in his mouth and pulling the trigger.

Superb would have been someone posting it on youtube.
