NRCC wants Herseth to return DCCC cash. All $608 of it.

From a press release yesterday by the National Republican Congressional Committee:

Does Stephanie Herseth Agree with Despicable DCCC Fundraising Tactics?
Herseth must repudiate tactics and return DCCC money

WASHINGTON – This week, the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) released a fundraising solicitation video containing images of caskets of U.S. soldiers killed in the War on Terror. Here is a link to the DCCC video: http://www.dccc.org/r/17033/483923.

The DCCC’s fundraising solicitation also contained a fabricated mug shot of former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay marked “91108GOP” – a very troubling and short-sighted combination of numbers to use. At best, the DCCC is politicizing the tragedies of 9/11; at worst, they are suggesting that another terrorist attack is imminent as a result of a Republican-controlled Congress.

This cycle, Stephanie Herseth has accepted $608 in contributions from the DCCC.

“Washington Democrats have gone beyond the pale of politically acceptable discourse by exploiting the ultimate sacrifice of U.S. soldiers in order to raise campaign cash,” National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Rep. Tom Reynolds said. “If Stephanie Herseth wants to be known as a serious candidate who supports our men and women fighting so bravely abroad and the families of those who have fallen, she ought to repudiate this video and immediately return the DCCC money.”

(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...
