Candidate website - Katy Dressen for House, and why my name must be mud in District 9

By -
Katy Dressen, Republican Candidate for District 9 House has a website up that you should go check out. I like it. It's graphically pleasing, and it's always enjoyable reading about someone who also has 6 kids.

She's supposed to be 43 years old? I'm 39 and and I look like ten miles of bad road. Bleaugh. I stink.

Anyway, she's running in the same district as my Democratic friend Rich Engels, Democrat Elaine Roberts, and Republican Deb Peters.

On another note, I had heard from one of her colleagues that Deb thought I was bashing her a while back. In relation to another post, Rich Engels had sent me some information on some of the issues he was going to be using to take Deb on. So, I posted it and invited her to reply. The intent was to generate some heat (and interest in the blog) over two candidates hashing it out. Neat, huh?

And it really didn't go anywhere, except she thinks I was bashing her. Great. Like I said, I stink.

So, no Deb. I was not bashing you. I might give others a hard time, but that was not the case in that instance. Just another idea for the blog that backfired.

I hope I look that good at 43! Trouble is I look like this bad at 38, so it's not likely.

The web site is full of fluff and trendy cliches. She sounds like a liberal.

I can assure you that Katy Dressen is a fiscal and social conservative. I am proud to call her my friend!

Hey jer bear, If you have never voted Republican you dont want to start with Dressen. She's part of the far right anti abortion, abstinence only, sex police wing of the republican party. She won't be content until government controls every aspect of your life.

Katy may be anti abortion because she believes in the sanctity of life but she is not for an abstinence only policy and is not part of your so called "sex police wing of the republican party". She believes that government exists to help improve the lives of those in our society not to control them.

You obviosly don't know her. I've known her for 10 years and the state of South Dakota would be very fortunate to have her representing it. She's compassionate to human suffering and has been a mentor at Washington High School for several years. Her agenda is one of truly helping the people. Katy's not self serving and wants only to give back to society and the state that she so dearly loves.
Democrats and Republicans alike would both benefit from Katy representing the state. She has a genuine desire to make a difference and has a gift for bringing people together.

As Rep. Deb Peters said in her anonymous comment of 11:26 a.m., Katy Dressen is a fiscal and social conservative. But don't expect anything more than fluff and trendy cliches coming from her in democratic district 9. Like Deb Peters before her (who lied about being for broad-based sex ed then voted for abstinence-only) Katy's object in a democratic district will be to make herself seem more liberal than she really is. Hopefully she won't resort to outright lies like Peters did.

Hmmm..... Let's see, we have a couple of people that actually know Katy Dressen quite well, speaking very highly of her.....

And then... We have someone who obviously has never even met her in their life and yet this person makes all kinds of negative accusations and assumptions about her.

How amusing!!!!

That's what you get for thinking a Republican woman is hot. Once you go "red" you'll never let a another blue into your bed.

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
