As a wedding present, Mitchell Daily Republic provides Herseth a strong spanking for her Iraq vote
Ouch - Check out this spanking that the Mitchell Daily Republic just served up to our Congresswoman with regards to her vote on Iraq. And only a few days preceding her marriage:
Is it just me, or did the Herseth Honeymoon end as soon as she became part of the majority? It seems as if the media is holding her much more accountable for how she votes.
If this is the “new leadership” promised by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, then she shamelessly misled the public by promising to end partisan politics.Read it all here.
While we believe Herseth erred in voting for the bill, we don’t doubt her sincerity when she said she believed the measure was a compromise between those who demand an immediate withdrawal for Iraq and those who want no timetable at all.
A better course for Herseth lay in a third option. She should have opposed the measure and explained to her constituents that while she continues to support agriculture — which no one doubts — she could not endorse a measure that forced lawmakers to choose between two equally unattractive positions. By taking this path, she would have demonstrated that the measure was flawed because it included only two options, neither of them acceptable.

The Supplemental:
Funding for the troops = good
Funding for Ag Disaster = good
Timetable = good
End of war = good
No more soliders sent back in coffins = good
What are you guys complaining about...I just don't get it.
Wake up!
Funding for Ag Disaster = Pork
Timetable = sign that America's will is broken
End of War = the sooner the terrorists can get back to the business of attacking us on our soil
No more soldiers sent back in coffins = See last comment.
War is tough, dudes. It's got to be about as close to hell on earth as anything. People get killed and things get broken. Thank God for good men who were willing to fight to secure America's independence, to fight to end slavery, to fight against all kinds of ill that has infested this world over the years. Further, I thank God that some people in this country used to produce testosterone.
Good for the Mitchell Daily Republic.
People should have known in 04 about Heresth they didn't listen. O yea "Girl Power" gag and vomit.
by the way I am a woman no bias here.
To call this government truly Republican is insulting to true Republicans. To call it Christian is complete heresy.
it's clear she's with the liberals and not South Dakota
With her vote of support for our effort in Iraq, we now know we cannot fail. This would not be possible with out you and what you have done. We will remember this when we next visit South Dakota.
We are pleased the local infidel media has treated her lightly. We will remember that also. Even though she does not cover her shame we have regard for her. We will send her a burqa for a wedding present.
Did you know that the last eight war supporters left in this country are posting on your blog?
Just curious, when are you going to do a post on Senator Hagel? You know the Republican Senator from Nebraska. The one who blasted the Bush administration on the war. You know Nebraska a "conservative state" much like South Dakota.
Saying that they don't doubt her sincerity in looking for compromise, is hardly calling her a "liberal hack" or whatever slurs you guys cast around here.
I've got a $500 check that I'll send the second you announce...
You'd clean her clock, PP. And you'd have all of us behind you...
