Jon Bruning Drops Out Of The U.S. Senate Race

A Senate candidate steps down. Attorney General Jon Bruning pulls his name from consideration a year before the election takes place. Bruning wanted people to focus their attention on what many think is the front-runner of the race, former US Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns. Bruning announced his withdrawl tonight in Omaha. He's been in the race for 5 months, and has raised more than $1 million to win the seat. He's the second man to drop out after Hal Daub ended his short Senate bid. Bruning says Johanns is a good friend with similar views, and he gives Johanns his endorsement.

Left-wing blogger mis-labels Jon Bruning's tax pledge

Opinion

It is well-known that liberals need new words and a new language for almost everything. Why? It is rather simple, they are simply incapable of telling the truth. Additionally, the liberal truth scares people and does not generate votes. Thus, the electorate must be fooled.

Our example for today is New Nebraska Network (NNN) - the self styled "New and Improved - Nebraska's premiere source of progressive online political commentary."

First lie - this isn't "progressive online political commentary" whatsoever - as the blog claims; it is the same old worked over tax-and-spend socialistic agenda that has been around forever.

NNN recently posted a Jon Bruning hit piece entitled: "Jon Bruning Joins Ben Nelson in Signing Right-Wing Tax Pledge." Read it if you must.

Beyond numerous factual errors and socialist slandering, what it comes down to is that NNN is displeased with anyone, ANYONE who is interested in holding taxes the same or decreasing them. This is a socialist agenda, not a progressive one. Take it to the bank.

BTW, NNN is operated by Kyle Michaelis a left-wing law student at the University of Nebraska. Kyle writes on his website that his "mother is quite worried about his job prospects." So sad. So cute.

If Hillary is elected president, we are sure that Kyle will be able to get work handing out tickets for patients that need to see a doctor in Nebraska when socialized medicine becomes law.

DREAM Act Fails Senate Test Vote

WASHINGTON (AP) --

Legislation to give children of illegal immigrants a path toward legality failed a crucial test vote in the Senate Wednesday, likely putting a final stamp on major immigration measures for the year.

Supporters needed to get 60 votes to advance the DREAM Act, which would have allowed illegal immigrants who plan to attend college or join the military, and who came to the United States with their families before they turned 16, to move toward legality.

The final vote was 52-44.

Bob Kerrey says he will not seek the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate next year.

The former governor and U.S. senator from Nebraska and 1992 presidential candidate says he made the decision not to run for the seat being vacated by Republican Chuck Hagel after discussions with his family. Kerrey says he has unfinished business at New School University in New York, where he is president.


blogger comments...

Speaking of New School U, I wonder if Norman Hsu is still on the board, and if the school ever returned his donations? (joking) We have learned that the two U.S. Senators from New York (Hillary and Schmuckie) did get the New School a federal grant of nearly $1,000,000. It's for the children.

RE the U.S. Senate Race: "Let Nebraskans decide"

Jon Bruning:

“The party’s chances are not improved by these heavy-handed attempts from Washington to clear the way for their guy. There are clear differences between me and Mike Johanns, and Republicans deserve a positive campaign based on the issues.”
