Fischer handily gonna win the Senate seat. But oh noes, she's going to steal our land!

I voted for her. Felt pretty "meh" about it.

 

So when she takes your land, you can blame me. Sorry guys.

can you clarify this for me?

 

There have been political ads going across Nebraska that Deb Fischer (who won Senate tonight in Nebraska) sued an old couple for their land or something of this nature

She and her husband sued a neighbor for abject possession, what is commonly known as 'squatters rights' in an attempt to take the land. It amounts to they claimed that the grazing(for two weeks a year) meant that the neighbors had essentially abandoned the land, and as the Fischers were using it, that they were entitled to it.

 

Then after the owners won, they tried to donate the land to the State of Nebraska as a park to allow it to be used for hunting and fishing open to the public as any other state park. Fischer blocked it in the legislature.

 

Add that in with her comments about there not being a single Democrat in the Senate that she thought she could work with, and her signing the Grover Norquist pledge, and all Nebraskans did is elect another mindless drone to vote along the party line, and do nothing.

 

Just like the idiots who keep voting for Lee Terry. A guy who has been in congress for 14 years, and has nothing to show for it. Virtually no bills written (unless you count renaming a post office) that have been passed, and is not chairing any important committee.

I remember when Terry was first elected, he was all about being against career politicians.
