#1 Sarge : startling meanness
Proves Daschle is getting lots of interesting E-Mails calling him lots of interesting names.

#2 Lefto-fruitbat line:
"This deterioration of discourse is entirely the fault of the wicked Bushitler/Askkkroft/HELLiburton cabal and its immoral effort to appease its obese redneck trailer-trash constituency by committing atrocities and genocide against Iraq and Afghanistan.
This must be true, you have my word for it."

#3 Being a South Dakota Expat, I cringe every time Tom opens his mouth, because something stupid usually falls out. Not only has he alienated himself to the citizens of the U.S., he has also taken it upon himself to make the U.S. as a nation look like a bunch of blithering, infighting idiots who can't even control their own internal affairs. (Thanks CNN International) During a dinner in Pisec, the Vice President of the Czech Republic asked me why this guy seems to enjoy slamming our Govt. even when he is a member of it; I really didn't know how to answer without slamming him. Being in the profession that I'm in, I'm not allowed to speak harshly of our elected officials, yet look and listen how our two parties treat each other. (Perhaps the whole lot of them should go back to kindergarten to learn the Golden Rule)

#4 To help remove meanness from political debate, you can contribute to the campaign of John Thune.

#5 Daschle only need look at members of his political stripe to figure out where all the hostility is coming from. Does the name Terry McAuliffe ring a bell? Ted Kennedy?

#6 A second Mr. Davis's recommendation. I also sent Thune $50.

Do I hear $100?

#7 Let's hope that SD-GOP has enough observers to keep dead reservation Native Americans from helping Daschle like their vote helped Johnston in 2002.

#9 God bless ya, Bill! :)

Heck even if it were $10, it's still $10 more than he had yesterday.

If you are interested in this race check out Daschle v. Thune. Good reading for anyone, but I'll bet South Dakotans get even more out of it. Makes me wish I had a decoder ring for the really juicy bits. :)

#10 I just added $25. I've been meaning to send something to Thune for a while and this thread finally got me around to it.

Spent several years in SD as a child (courtesy of the USAF) and loved it, and it's always annoyed me that somebody like Dashole was "representing" the state.
