SD Dems still trying to make money off of Daschle

By -
Now that Senator Daschle isn't there to help generate funds for the South Dakota Democratic party anymore, they're still managing to squeeze a few bucks out of his name.

The South Dakota Democratic Party is offering for sale on their website "Thanks Tom - 26 Years of Proud Service" t-shirts for sale at $15 each.

(Personally, I'd recommend the SDWC T-Shirts at $10 each)

So what are you saying PP, that you hate capitalism? (Kidding, obviously). But seriously, who cares? Political parties always use their successful politicans to raise money. For example, note the large number of Ronald Regan shirts for sale lately.

And if you want a really good shirt, I have all sizes and colors of "Quinlivan, God among men" shirts for sale at my blog "www.whydoyouevencarewhatIhavetoosayaboutpolitics?Gogetsomefreshairfatty.blogspot.com"

Not surprising that the Dems are trying to capitalize on a successful politician. They're still making money off of McGovern too. More surprising is that the Republicans in SD are not.

Where are the "Thanks Larry Pressler for 22 years service" shirts? or the "Thanks Bill Janklow for 21 years service" shirts? or the "Thanks Karl Mundt for 30 years service and 3 years of incapacitation" shirts?

The GOP apparently doesn't want to be associated with its long-time South Dakota officeholders.

Is Daschle’s “service” to South Dakota the same as: “the bull serviced the cows”?

Yeah, I thought so…

PP, you should start to make shirts that say, "Thanks Tom" for going into retirement!

OK, off topic, but why does only 15% of the comments here have a full name attached to them? I don't wanna pull a Sibby here, but I have seen some pretty nasty stuff said by "anonymous" people for a while now. C'mon people, eat your spinich (sic), and man (or woman) up, sign your name.

Many of the posters here aren't willing to sign their names to their words. I'll let you do the psychoanalysis on that one.

But the problem, whatever it is, may be pathological within the party. The reluctance to take responsibility for your words on a blog is similar to the way members of the SD Republican Party (the author of this blog included) won't say a word about the "origin of species" plank in their platform. I even put a call into the SD Republican Party HQ -- no one will return my call. They must be ashamed of it.

Maybe people don't sign their names because the level of discussion is often so juvenile that they would prefer not to be associated with it, even though participation is, for some (like me) is irresistible.

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...
