The Sand Campaign (ND House)
2008 just might be the year that we finally get rid of the entrenched and out of touch bureaucrat Earl Pomeroy, and Duane Sand is the candidate to do it. His campaign is hard at work, and he is raising unprecedented amounts of money for his efforts. He will need all that he can get [...]
My Experience at the US Senate Youth Program
I just returned from an incredible week that I will forever remember. I met 103 like-minded individuals from all 50 states, heard from the leaders of our nation, and made friends and connections that will last for many years to come. The 2008 United States Senate Youth Program was an incredible experience that I will [...]
My Trip to Washington, D.C.
Last October, as I was reading through my school’s scholarship opportunities, I decided to compete for the United States Senate Youth Program. A month or so later, I learned that I had been selected as one of North Dakota’s two delegates to the United States Senate Youth Program. At first I thought that it was [...]
ND’s Earl Pomeroy Votes for Defeat in Iraq
With the 2008 election looming, its clear that the Iraq War will be a hot campaign issue when Earl Pomeroy seeks re-election to his ninth term in the House of Representatives. Pomeroy began 2007 by aligning himself with the mainstream left/Pelosi agenda in Congress. In February of 2007, Pomeroy vehemently opposed the troop surge. Fortunately, [...]
Mitt Takes Michigan
Mitt Romney won Michigan last night, despite endless media hype that John McCain would be victorious. The media wants to decide the outcome of the nomination process, and ultimately the GOP nomination, and so they have chosen John McCain as the Republican that should win all the primaries. The media also wants to somehow insinuate [...]
Sens. Dorgan and Conrad (ND) Suffer from an Utter Lack of Good Judgment
The latest item that the Democrats are using to slam President Bush is the report on Iran’s nuclear program. The report says that Iran abandoned its nuclear program in 2003, and North Dakota’s own Byron Dorgan and Kent Conrad are wasting no time using it to hammer the Bush administration. It seems odd to me [...]
Huckabee Surges Nationally and Locally
Today has to be the day that Mike Huckabee has waited for. Not only have the last five major polls in Iowa averaged him one point above Mitt Romney, making him the new Iowa front-runner, but he is now in second place nationally as well with 17%, beating his own record of 15% that he [...]
North Dakota Dems Complain About Giuliani Visit
Rudy Giuliani made a visit to Fargo during lunch yesterday, and not surprisingly, Rick Gion at the ND Dems blog is already upset about his visit. They first tried complaining about the price - which was $250 for lunch and $1,000 for lunch and a photo-op with the former Mayor. There’s no way that Rick [...]
Hillary Clinton’s Campaign Disaster
I find it amazing how Hillary Clinton tells her supporters that the Bush administration has been a disaster. She said “Bush” or “President Bush” over 15 times in the last debate, almost as if she was running against him, Of course, this was not the only major flaw the public saw in the last debate. [...]
October Marks 50th Consecutive Month of Job Growth
This October, 166,100 new jobs were created in the United States, marking the 50th consecutive month of steady job growth. This is the longest continuous stretch of job creation ever, and the total since 2003 now stands at 8.1 million new jobs. Will the left wing media give Bush the credit that he deserves for [...]
Former ND Gov. Ed Schafer Chosen as New Agriculture Secretary
Former North Dakota Governor Ed Schafer was named as the new Secretary of Agriculture in President Bush’s cabinet. This is the first time that a North Dakota politician has been appointed to a presidential cabinet since Thomas S. Kleppe’s tenure as the Secretary of the Interior during President Ford’s administration. While his Schafer’s tenure will [...]
