According to this press release I swiped off of DakotaWussCollege, Thune still is planning ‘other’ locations for Town halls, wonder if they will include the Sioux Falls area, considering a third of the state’s population lives here. It did not surprise me he picked the very conservative and very safe communities of Aberdeen and Watertown, can’t have any dissenters posting video on YouTube, yah know. I think Thune would have a tougher go of it in SF, remember, Obama won the majority in Minnehaha County. Is Thune scared to talk to people from the community he calls home? Don’t even get me started with Herseth and Johnson, who are apparently holed up in a bunker somewhere.
Senator Thune to host Town Hall Meetings in Aberdeen and Watertown
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. —Senator John Thune will hold a town hall meeting in Aberdeen on Thursday, August 20th in the Centennial Rooms at the Student Center on the campus of Northern State University at 11:30 AM CT and in Watertown on Monday, August 24th at the County Fair Banquet Hall at 5:00 PM CT.
“As I have been travelling across South Dakota for the last week and a half I have heard from a number of people about various issues,†said Thune. “South Dakotans are especially engaged on the issues of health care, cap and trade, and the out-of-control spending going on in Washington. These town hall meetings will give residents in the northeast part of South Dakota an opportunity to ask questions on these and other issues.â€
Additional town hall meetings planned before the Senate reconvenes on Tuesday, September 8th will be announced soon.

A courtesy link back to the source you obtained it from is generally customary, such as a hat tip.
And yes, I’m aware of that meeting. I noted it a couple of times last week.
Well, praise the LORD and pass the ammo! Let’s all go yell at some congress critters!
“A courtesy link back to the source you obtained it from is generally customary, such as a hat tip.”
Normally. But I don’t give a fuck about your site, PP, considering you blocked me from commenting over there. So you can stick your link, up your ass.
L3wis –
I’m not sure what you’re talking about, since I haven’t blocked you from commenting in any way, shape or form.
Sometimes my anti-spam software kicks in on occasion based on terminology, and it definitely kicks in if a person tries to post more than one link at a time.
But as to your alleging that I intentionally blocked you? No. That is incorrect. If I do that to a person, I’ll say so.
I show your your last comment on the website was dated 6/22. If you haven’t attempted since, you might do so, and if it’s still not showing up, I’m happy to troubleshoot it.
I do it all the time, including for Troy Jones who personally has authoring ability on my site. I’m certainly not trying to censor him, but his comments sometimes unintentionally end up in the spam box as well.
If you post something, can’t see it, and don’t understand why, all a person has to do is drop me a note, and I can figure out what went wrong.

I think you two need a campfire and a harmonica.
You really need to get a clue about what you call conservative. Brown County is probably the most Democratic leaning county in the state! And I know that you realize that. More BS?
This is the only site on the web worth our while. Snore College is predictable and PPPP has a major conflict of interest now that he is a paid “perfeshional.” Keep on snarkin’ and let’s break a couple of their legs. 10-4 Eleanor!
PP- Call a whaaabulance, I am not buying your excuses. I saw your little whiney session post, get over it.
Lincoln’s son – Thank you!
Ron – considering most democrats in SD are moderate to conservative the party affiliation does not really freaking matter.
Scott –
Sorry you feel that way. The door has always been, and remains open.
STFU, Pitty Pat. You’re a liar and a hypocrite, with a tangled conflict of interest in this blogosphere. Why don’t you do everyone a favor and quit your facade blog and then go jump. Douche.
I’m not mad Pat, I just don’t believe you. You have booted several people from your site and deleted comments. You just don’t have a very good track record, that’s all I am saying.
Doesn’t matter. To say that Brown County is a conservative county is ridiculous. After all, it gave us Daschle and Herseth. And it consistently votes Democratic. So not sure how that is so “safe” for a Republican Senator.
Gotta agree with Ron on this one. The Northeast corner including Roberts, Day, Marshall and Brown counties have generally been left leaning more times than not.
I have to be honest though – I think John Thune is pretty safe no matter where he goes. Those in favor of health care reform are probably too busy going to work and can’t take a day off to sit around and complain to their Senator.
“Those in favor of health care reform are probably too busy going to work and can’t take a day off to sit around and complain to their Senator.”
How true it is. And as for Daschle and Herseth, hardly liberals. I left the Democratic party because Tommy was acting like a Republican.
Anyone else find it odd that the most vocal opponents of healthcare reform appear to be those who are already sucking the government tit via Medicare?
I guess the old Republican mantra of “I’ve got mine, so I don’t give a rats ass about anyone else” is still alive and kicking.

Yep. One of these boobs actually yelled “keep your government out of my medicare!” during a rally.
