Earl Pomeroy: Morphing from a Lap Dog to Blue Dog…again

May 26th, 2010 | 6 Comments

Earl Pomeroy knows he’s in trouble in North Dakota. He has already started airing campaign ads that depict him as a moderate that stood up for North Dakota values in a Nancy Pelosi Congress. Yes the same North Dakota that is one of the most conservative states in the Union. From the Say Anything Blog; According to Congressional Quarterly, in 2009 Earl Pomeroy voted with his party 95%of the time and in agreement with President Obama 96% of the time. Wow it really sounds like he is standing up for those conservative values that North Dakotans embrace. Voting with the most liberal congress in years 95% of the time. I mean if you watch his ads the impression you get is that he doesn’t follow the party line. He’s a maverick. Really Mr. … Read entire article »

DISTRICT 8

March 4th, 2010 | 9 Comments

Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi wants fellow Democrats to sacrifice their political careers to get this healthcare bill pushed through Congress. Have you ever stopped to consider why it’s so easy for her to vote yea on this terrible bill? Well look no further than California’s District 8; Nancy Pelosi’s Progressive kingdom. District 8, which encompasses most of San Francisco, is an absolute progressive/liberal fortress. Its voters are so far left that I’m convinced if Karl Marx was on the ballot against George Washington, Marx would win by a landslide. The last Republican to win this district was Jack Z. Anderson in 1950. He ran against the Progressive John A. Peterson and won with pretty strong numbers, (83% to 16%). However since 1952 the Democrats have held the seat … Read entire article »

WANTED: One Democrat With Integrity

January 18th, 2010 | 2 Comments

The Republic hangs in the balance as we all await the outcome of the special election in Massachusetts. If Republican candidate Scott Brown pulls off a miracle win, then he will bring to a grinding stop to the healthcare bill. However if Martha Coakley wins, she has promised to support every effort to jam the healthcare bill through. Can someone please explain to me how we have gotten to this point? And what disturbs me the most is that no one is asking this question. I mean if we really start digging into the dirt we’ll see that there are plenty of Democrats that represent conservative states. How can they sit on their hands and watch their party hijacked by the radical left and do nothing? Where are their principles, their honesty, and most of all … Read entire article »

Blue Dog Blueprint for 2010…LIE!

January 10th, 2010 | 4 Comments

This morning I was reading my local newspaper and buried in the region section was a small write-up about how our so called “blue dog” representative was surprised by President Obama. You see, I reside in one of those “red states” that is being represented by a self proclaimed “blue dog” democrat. The state is North Dakota and our lone representative Earl Pomeroy is doing it again. He stated to the AP how disappointed he was in how much he disagrees with Obama “a whole lot of the time too.” If there was milk from my cereal in my mouth at the time I read it, I would have spit it out all over the place. Really Mr. Pomeroy, you disagree “a whole lot of the time” with Obama? Are you … Read entire article »
