C'mon Nebraskans, are you going to look to two bona fide war heroes with tons of experience and gravitas or listen to this Deb whose idea of big issues shows in her concurrence with the likes of Akin and Mourdock that women should be forced to bear a rapist's child; and in her belief that there's nothing to this global warming and climate change stuff. Akin and Mourock are not going to the Senate -- let's keep Fischer home too!

Kerrey was a very good senator, he helped Clinton tremendously and achieved a balanced budget, budget surplus with 4% unemployment. Those were the first in many many years. Then came Bush II, all those achievements disappeared almost instantly.

How come CBS or any media outlet never talks about Democrats supporting GOP candidates? (Don't say it doesn't happen...) This is part of the CBS/MSNBC/ABC/CNN/NYT view that all Democrats GOOD all Republicans BAD.

I for one will ALWAYS vote for the more Conservative candidate, regardless of Party....

The Republican Party has gone overboard with the Tea Party, and now would call Reagan a liberal. That is why so many centrist moderate Republicans are bailing out of the current R party and voting Democrat. If the R's don't regain their sanity and acknowledge the Tea Party as extremists, and return somewhat to the center, there will be a lot more Democrats elected, as they are currently the only party willing to work across party lines.

TYPEZ - Most prefer to spin the truth and facts.

Yes, that is because it is profitable and easy. Many prefer to believe in myths and ignore facts and realities when contradicting them.

Like years of warming and climate change seen as left wing conspiracy and little more then longevity patterns. The latter is true to an extent but ignores heavy metal concentrations in ice cores aligned with relative severity and rapidity of change.

As the 1954 congressional elections approached, and it became evident that the Republicans were in danger of losing their thin majority in both houses, Eisenhower was among those blaming the Old Guard for the losses, and took up the charge to stop suspected efforts by the right wing to take control of the GOP. Ike then articulated his position as a moderate, progressive Republican: "I have just one purpose...and that is to build up a strong progressive Republican Party in this country. If the right wing wants a fight, they are going to get it...before I end up, either this Republican Party will reflect progressivism or I won't be with them anymore."[105]
Initially Eisenhower planned on serving only one term, but as with other decisions he maintained a position of maximum flexibility in case leading Republicans wanted him to run again. During his recovery from a heart attack late in 1955, he huddled with his closest advisors to evaluate the GOP's potential candidates; the group, in addition to his doctor, concluded a second term was well advised, and he announced in February 1956 he would run again.[106][107] Ike was publicly noncommittal about Nixon's repeating as the Vice President on his ticket; the question was an especially important one in light of his heart condition. He personally favored Robert Anderson, a Democrat, who rejected his offer; from Wikipedia

Don't say it doesn't happen, you say. Funny then that you didn't mention any names.
