Leave it to Thune to lay it on thick;

Sen. John Thune: “It is time for President Obama to put politics, ideology and the wants of special interest groups aside . . .

But it is okay for you to play politics and take money from special interests?!

and show some leadership by working in a truly bipartisan manner on a health care reform package

Bipartisan manner? Hey, John, bipartisanship is a two-way street and it is time for your party to pull their car out of the garage.

that will improve health care and lower costs without burdening our children and grandchildren with trillions of dollars in new debt.”

So it is better for private insurance companies to make billions in profits while people file bankruptcy left and right from health care bills?

You are so full of shit John.

So will Ironic Johnny hold a Town hall in Sioux Falls?

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.”

Additional town hall meetings planned before the Senate reconvenes on Tuesday, September 8th will be announced soon.
