The infamous senate candidate #5 has been identified as congressman Jesse Jackson Jr.
The son of famous civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, reportedly offered (through one of his flunkies) $1milllon for Barack Obama’s vacated senate seat. Gov. Blagowhatsit was right, that’s a f***in’ valuable thing. I wonder if he got a free Obama plate and coin too.
If only I could make extra money by carrying out the tasks my job requires of me…
After reading the budget address story in the Gargoyle Leader, I dove into a tiny little article buried on page 9A and not available online (that’s where the Liberal media puts their important stories I guess) the article detailed how Dems have been after Marion M. Rounds for three years about limiting the growth of State Government (you know, all those unneeded no-bid contracts to friends and family he has secretly deguised as FTE’s), but as usual, Mike refuses to listen to anyone but his inner greed and arrogance;
For three years, Democrats have tried to hold state government to the 3 percent budget increases allowed schools and counties, and we couldn’t get support,” said Dem Ben Nesselhuf of Vermillion, “If we’d been doing that for three years, maybe we’d have money.”
Democratic Rep. Bernie Hunhuff of Yankton also voiced concern about the property tax increase;
It could sow the seeds for another property tax revolt, and we don’t want that.
Get out the pitchforks and torches I guess.
I think Minority leader Scott Heidepriem of Sioux Falls, District 13, where I live, said it best when he called the governor’s budget “Cynical”
I guess I wouldn’t have had a problem with expanding state government if government services have become better, in fact they are either the same or worse since Rounds has taken office. Just look at the vehicle registration fiasco. So where did the millions go? This is about helping friends out, and now that he has broken the bank, he continues his state of denial and promises more cuts to education, salaries and road construction while failing to put his hand out to our new president who vows to ramp up infrastructure and domestic spending. Once again SD Republican leaders have proven the best way to fix problems is to tax and spend instead of making cuts.
Man, I’m bored…..
ILUSTRATION; The Late Great Ed ‘Big Daddy’ Roth
The End of an Error
In all seriousness, it really doesn’t matter who wins the presidential race today, one thing is for sure, NO MORE BUSH.
I think he has been the worst president our country has ever seen. I still like the bumper sticker I have seen on several cars around town; ‘Never thought I would miss Nixon’
What surprises me the most is that he isn’t sitting in a jail cell with Cheney. Not only is there plenty of evidence to charge him with war crimes and crimes against humanity, he could have been impeached on violating the 4th Amendment alone (something he admitted to in a press conference – how much  more proof do you need?).
History will judge him very poorly. There has even been rumors circulating that he will be brought up on criminal charges when he steps out of office.
He has single-handily;
– Bankrupt our country
– Destroyed the middle-class
– Tore up our Constitution
– Destroyed our standing in the world
– Increased world terrorism in the world against our allies
– Contributed to global warming by removing energy regulations
– Destroyed the reputation of his party (which isn’t all that bad). He did get some help from Tom Delay on this one, and most recently, Ted Stevens.
And this is where Barack Obama comes in. If it weren’t for Bush’s pitiful failures, Obama may still just be a Senator from Illinois. He has been able to take the high road, and prove that you can be positive in a campaign and get results – we’ll know more about that tonight.
GO VOTE RATFINKS!
