SW Iowa political TV ads 10-1 Republican over Democrats.

Way Better Half and me compared thoughts after being in a room for four hours watching Omaha ABC Ch.7 via Mediacom cable. We didn't keep a tally just what it felt like. Over the air last night same channel same ratio with more Lee Terry and less Tom Latham. Every election I am surprised how many ads Medicom adds to the mix. Is Grassley's son still there? I hope the ad ratio is better in the rest of the state.

Nebraska US Senate Candidate Republican Deb Fischer has tons of ads that she is not greedy land grabbing asshole.

Bob Kerry campaign has a web link with court documents that disagree.

Cut:
For decades the Kimes paid taxes on the land used by the Fischers, maintained it, and asked nothing in return. For the Kimes, it was the neighborly thing to do.

Over time the Fischers sought to acquire the land and each time the Kimes said “no.”

First, the Fischer’s proposed a trade of lands that the Kimes rejected. Later, the Fischers approached the elderly Kimes with a quitclaim deed and asked them to sign it. Again, the Kimes said “no.” Finally, the Fischers wrote the Kimes a letter proposing a swap of lands and $100,000, and once again the Kimes said “no thank you.”

So what did the Fischers do? They sued the Kimes—then in their 80’s—using a legal doctrine called “adverse possession,” essentially saying they had squatter’s rights to the land.
End cut:

It is worth reading the whole page. They repeatedly try to bully their neighbors to get the land.

She is Romney Ruthless. GOP presidential material.

How is it that she's ahead in NE, ahead of Bob Kerry?
