Look who the cat drug in

Unlike the Argus Leader, the Mitchell Daily Republic publishes my letters during the election season. Here is what they ran today:

I left the door open on the drought issue and look who the cat drug in…a partisan Daschle supporter with a factually incorrect letter. Craig Kelly’s September 9th letter stated, “the 2003 Omnibus bill contained a provision (inserted by Senate Republicans at the last minute) to delay the implementation of country-of-origin labeling for two full years”. This is not true. Kelly doesn’t have his facts straight.

Daschle voted against the 2003 Omnibus bill that contained funding that he is taking credit for in his ads. Only hardcore Daschle supporters like Kelly thinks it’s perfectly OK to give Daschle credit for funding he was for…before he voted against it.

Then comes the September 21 letter from anther hardcore partisan Daschle Supporter. John T. Solberg whines about John Thune not asking South Dakota Republican Party Chairman Randy Frederick to resign and apologize for questioning Daschle’s lack of judgement on the eve of war.

Remember March 17, 2003 when Daschle said, “I'm saddened, saddened that this president failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war. Saddened that we have to give up one life because this president couldn't create the kind of diplomatic effort that was so critical for our country.”
Where was Solberg’s outrage when Daschle applauded Tim Johnson in May for saying, "And how sweet it's going to be on June 2 when the Taliban wing of the Republican Party finds out what's happened in South Dakota."

Will Solberg show his outrage for Daschle’s September 19 meltdown on national TV, when he said on Meet the Press, “John's attacks on me, where I come from, would earn a trip to the woodshed”. Daschle said Thune deserves a spanking for bringing up Daschle’s March 17, 2003 attack at the Commander in Chief, as America was about to go to war. Daschle even questioned his own judgement by saying, “I could have found a different time to say it.”

Daschle…what an embarrassment to South Dakota.
