Fischer and Kerrey at 1st debate in August

Over the weekend Bob Kerrey first told Nebraska Watchdog he wanted one last debate with Deb Fischer. 

Today he made his request official, asking Fischer for a debate on national security.

A request literally crashed by the GOP: take a look.

    “This isn’t a campaign tactic?” Funny.

    Mark Fahleson’s statement:

    Bob Kerrey, who has spent his entire campaign avoiding a discussion on issues, now wants a 4th debate.
    While Bob Kerrey has engaged in a personal, negative campaign, Deb Fischer has stuck to her principles. These principles DO matter, and Nebraska voters have a serious choice to make.
    This race will not be decided by more debates, Bob Kerrey’s personal attacks or skewed public polling. This is a race about principles and policies.
    They can choose the principles and plans of a lifelong Nebraskan in Deb Fischer, or they can choose the broken promises and failed policies of Bob Kerrey and Barack Obama.
    If Bob Kerrey wants another debate, fine. But it is crystal clear from his
    record that he does not share Nebraska principles on the issues that
    matter most.
    Unless he’s wiling to accept that the polices of President Obama, policies
    Kerrey has strongly supported, have failed, there’s not much to talk
    about.
    So we’ve created the “Principles Matter” Pledge.
    We are asking Bob Kerrey to sign it today.
    These principles appear in red for a reason: the failures of Obama/Kerrey
    have led to record debt and red ink, and a majority of voters in our Big
    Red state have spoken out on these issues – time and again.
    Bob Kerrey has said repeatedly that he will vote to raise taxes, that he
    supports Obamacare and Cap and Trade legislation and wasteful earmark
    spending. And that he would keep his good friend Harry Reid in power in the US Senate
    If Bob Kerrey refuses to accept these principles as right for Nebraska, there is truly nothing left to debate.

    Sorry if you don’t like it; but this is what was SAID.

    Fischer wouldn’t dare have another debate as she wouldn’t have time to contact her Super Pac supporters to be told how to respond to the questions that are asked.

  • ProgressiveOasis

    Oh you poor, hard-core Republicans, losing a race you thought you had in the bag. You should have voted for candidates who want to play fair in the first place. Welcome to Karma.

    I’ve read that Deb Fischer has also taken a no-abortion stance, including no exceptions for rape or incest. So now she joins Todd Akins and other zealots who think God gives life through rape, etc., through His “mysterious” ways. This stance of hers, along with her kissing the ring of Grover Nordquist’s pledge convinces me that she’s already just another puppet on the string. Of course, she’ll probably win the election. And the grunge will go on.

    I am a staunch Republican. That said, I take look at the abortion approach that makes the most sense. Since the Democrats are the ones who insist that abortions and contraception are a woman’s right, then the majority of women getting abortions are democrat’s. And since most criminals/rapists are brought up in liberal “no rules” families then it is the democratic victim’s right to have it aborted, right? Sounds to me like they are thinning their own herd. Who am I to stand in their way? If I were running I would promote free abortions for all Liberal/ Democrat women. That’s kind of why we spay/neuter animals to keep from overpopulation.

  • Jazzee

    Oh get over it abortions will still be here for all you who worry
    even if ever overturned by supremes it would revert back to the states so abortions for all of you lots of times…….just don’t ask me to pay for them just sayin’

  • Jazzee

    and harry reid tells kerrey what to do so what is the point?
    kerrey is using all of Romney’s economic plan so……is he lying now or will he lie when he is elected? which way will old rockin’ bob vote do you think??? smells like ben nelson to me

  • Paul

    I don’t think real nebraskans hate liberals so much that they want them aborted.

  • Rodney Callahan

    Dippy Debbie won’t debate anymore because she has to hide her incapability. The goat roper from the hick sticks lacks the quality to be a decent representative but also a decent person. Who the hell sues their neighbor in a land-grab? Deb Fischy does. Who has the same rape concept at Mourdock from Indiana? Deb Fischy does. She doesn’t even have the class to give a consession speach.

  • Rodney Callahan

    Your going to be a stomped Republican.

    Made me LOL!! Head of GOP isn’t making a campaign tactic! ROTFL!!

  • ToucheTurtle

    If you are the Rodney Callahan from Nehawka, NE, then you certainly don’t have ANYTHING to crow about as far as being a big city guy who is out to castigate rural Nebraskans!!! After all, you are a rural guy yourself . . . would you like to give us a description of yourself in equally colorful terms???

    Incidentally, if GOB loses, will YOUR guy “have the class to give a concession speech (please note the CORRECT spellings!)?????

  • Watching_From_Lincoln

    Without weeks to prepare her talking points, Dilbit Deb doesn’t posses the brains to go head to head with Bob Kerry on the subject of Foreign Policy on short notice.

  • Jazzee

    why another boring debate? it’s the same old….Bob lies about what he will do and then will do as he did in the past…vote with the lefties in his party

  • Rodney Callahan

    Are you the same douce bag that screws his sister from Valentine? Yes…I know all about you…pervert
