Some Thoughts

[The Dowager Mod]

Do you the people of the Midwest want a senator that has the courage to compromise when necessary.
or do you want a senator that votes on stricktly party lines no matter what the right thing to do is?
that is when the senator even bothers to show up to vote before the voting is over.
if you look at my opponents voting record you will see that a vote for him is no more than a vote for the UAC.
how many times a week does my opponent post on the forum?
they try to say that being an active senator doesn't matter, but i think the people of my district deserve a senator who takes an active interest in the things that matter to the midwest.
so far my opponents partisans have called me "immoral"
and a "dangerous human being"
if caring about the future of the midwest makes me immoral and dangerous then i guess i'm guilty.

-Most of the people you're campaigning for are from the Mideast region.

-No, I want a senator who will stands up for he/she believes in, not what he/she thinks is more politically viable.

-You have had a vote that was after the voting is over.

-He's in the AFIP, not the UAC.

you don't get sarcasm do you?
the AFIP is no more than an offshoot of the UAC you were in the UAC at one point i think.
and yes he has voted every single time with the UAC.
so there is my point.
and the art of compromise is key to being a good representative.
not simply being a rubber stamp for the party apparatchik.

And a vote for Texasgurl is no more than a vote for a socialist. Props to Verin for clarifying Dan's membership.

Socialist?
at least i have the guts to be who i am and not pretend to be some kind of "centrist"

[The Dowager Mod]

And i'm a socialist who shows up once in a while.

And a vote for Texasgurl is no more than a vote for a socialist. Props to Verin for clarifying Dan's membership.

If a vote for Texasgurl is no more than a vote for a socialist, why would myself and the rest of the republican party endorse her?  The fact is, Texasgurl is a principled legislator who votes her conscience, not any party line.

What other Senators here (besides Tweed) DON'T vote their conscience?

Funny stuff.

By the way, Texasgurl.....I made a speech....in Iowa a few days ago....with a comment direct to you...that we could debate wherever.....and whenever you want....and however many times you want.......you never took me up on the offer.

I regret to inform you now.....that I may be leaving from Wednesday to Friday (watch her and others attack me for doing THAT....just watch).....so....our time to debate is growing small.....VERY small....in fact....there may not be one.....

But just remember.....that it was I who challenged you.....and you never took the offer.....theres something your supporters can think about......

never saw it

It's unfortunate you didn't....

I would, at this time, like to issue at statement directly to my opponent, Former Senator Texasgurl: I am ready for debate. I am more than willing to debate on the issues, even more than once. Have your campaign staff get in touch with me, and you can set up a time and place, and we can debate anywhere, anytime.

i'm not awake at one in the morning and i don't have a staff so it must have been buried.

Why is this campaign filled with negative attacks? This is one of the worst races to watch.

They started it

Really, I haven't the faintest clue why.

No Hughento started it.

[The Dowager Mod]

When i decided to run i thought it would be DemRepDan
vs TexasGurl not Hughento,Ilikeverin AND DemRepdan vs TexasGurl.
If Hughento had simply endorsed Demrepdan instead of taking the opportunity to take yet another swipe at me i would have never felt the need to fight back.
If Ilikeverin had let DemRepDan run on his own instead of feeling the need to try and do most of his campaigning for him this would have been a very dull and nice race.
This should have been DemRepDan's race to win or lose,
There is absolutely no reason for a party leader to be constantly butting into someone elses race.
DemRepDan will be gone until friday i think,so i will take the opportunity to let things calm down.
