Like Todd Epp, I too have changed my voter registration.

By -
I saw Todd Epp's example and I just couldn't live with myself anymore. As you can see by this snippet from his blog, Todd decided to realign his politics with those of the SDDP.:

I made the drive to Canton today and changed my voter registration back from Independent to Democrat....

and

The only hope of changing the situation in our state is through the state and local Democratic Parties. And believe me, I know how screwed up they are.
And following his example, I had to change my voter registration myself. No more stifiling under the yoke of oppressive policies. No more standing around in the back of rooms taking a lot of crap. NO MORE!! So I went and did something I've been thinking about doing for a long time. I went and changed my voter registration.

Actually, it wasn't quite that severe. I just mailed in my change in voter registration so I could be registered where I own a home, over in Brookings. And I proudly put "Republican" on my voter registration card when I mailed it.

(What did you think I was going to do, change parties? Please.)

Yep, Epp made the drive to Canton, wasting precious fossil fuel. PP just dropped it in the mail.

I also had other business with the county auditor in Canton that I had to do in person. So, I'm forbidden from even visiting my own county seat? You Republicans are taking this closed government thing to new extremes.

Settle down guys. I would have driven too, but it's 200 miles, and I usually am not in Brookings during business hours.

I prefer doing this stuff in person, because the courthouse people ar ethe ones who often have a scoop.

Hey, send a letter to the White HOuse.
George Bush, too stupid to send in an abstentee ballot, hopped into Airforce One with Laura at probably a million bucks cost to the taxpayers to vote in Texas primary. I don't know if he and wife also went to a local football or basketball game however.

Todd, lighten up.
douglas, are you sure you want to go there. Do you remember when ALL the arrival air traffic at LAX had to go into a holding pattern and ALL the departures were forced to sit on the runway for over an hour while clinton had his hair cut on air force one?? LOL ..a snippa-snippa here, a snippa-snippa there...you should be consistent about your concern for wasted taxpayer dollars ..hahaha

Anonymous on the haircut, maybe you want to check the "facts" about that one. Seems to my vague memory that there was a might bit of press exaggeration helped along by the GOP mighty Wurlitizer spreading lies like it did about "Gore's lies" later.

Whatever, we ought to be raising hell about boondoggle airplane trips whether they were by Clinton,or are by Bush, or Rounds.

PP,
I attended the McGovern Day Dinner this weekend and I'll tell you what I've told everyone else. If no other viable candidate stepped forward I would run in order to point out the glaring inconsistencies and stupid, sometimes shortsighted, policies of of Mike Rounds. However, I support Jack Billion for Governor. We served together in the House and I've always respected his abilities and dedication. I'm carring his petition, care to sign?

douglas, Yes,it did happened. "press exaggeration?" Yes, your right. We know "getting a haircut" wasn't what was really going on on AF1. No fooling us.

I'm glad to see you are consistent. Rounds abused the use of the state plane. Probably just wanted to fly something nicer than his own plane. Reimbusment after it was found out? not good. We should raise a stink. We're curculating a petition about it.

A note from Benedict Ar... Sorry. A note from Stan Adelstein why he thinks you should vote Democrat this year.

(Click on letter to enlarge) And while it may not be printed at taxpayer expense, I don't see a disclaimer, either. When they hold the special session (supposedly at the end of November) , since he's left them already, I think his colleagues should expel him from the caucus. Sure. At that point it's only going to be symbolic. But since he's already said he's running again in the near future, sometimes symbolism is enough.

It's about health, not potential promiscuity.

As the only South Dakota blogger out with 5 daughters, I feel I need to weigh in on the whole discussion that's occurring with regards to the HPV vaccine, and Governor Rounds' proposal to make it available. My family (including my three oldest girls) watched my mom, their grandmother, succumb slowly and painfully to cancer which spread throughout her body. If a similar fate from a different type of cancer was preventable through a simple shot, why wouldn't anyone advocate for it? At the age most of my kids are going to be getting it, they're still playing with barbies, and negative influences such as most of the programming on MTV, and other assorted trashy television is verboten in my house. All they're going to know about this vaccination is that it's a shot, just like for teatnus or measles. They'll go "Ow, I don't want a shot," and that will be it. Just another mark on their vaccination record. One check box for DPT, one for HPV, and so on
