wait can`t be,Senator Tom Daschle represents the poor people of his state,(sarcasm off)

Senator Tom Daschle and his wife, big money airline lobbyist Linda Daschle, have just purchased a seven-room house valued at $2,250,000 in DC.

Not bad, presumably their main home is in South Dakota. Which would make this is their second home. They must have quite a spread in South Dakota.

I am hoping the he is shipped back to South Dakota after the next election. Run out on a rail would be ok too.

A seven room house for 2.25MM? Sounds like a rip off to me. Must be next to Hillary's home. This will not play well for him. Makes me wonder if he has given up hopes of reelection and is becoming a perm DC resident.

A little snippet from the Rapid City Journal...... 5/10/03

What's Sen. Daschle trying to hide?
By Robert Regier, executive director of Rushmore Policy Council.

SIOUX FALLS - Is Sen. Tom Daschle trying to hide something? When recent reports - premature as they were - came out about a potential issue ad campaign highlighting Sen. Daschle's liberal record, the Senate minority leader reacted harshly and quickly.

Just the mere suggestion that the Rushmore Policy Council might pull the curtain open to expose the window to his political soul had him unleashing the attack dogs within days. A "Special Alert" from Daschle's office urged his supporters to go out on the attack. "Send money." "Write letters to the editor." "Call talk radio." "Stand up to the extreme groups," the alert pleaded.

It's quite apparent that Sen. Daschle doesn't want us to know that he was the keynote speaker at the country's largest homosexual activist organization's annual banquet last year in Los Angeles. Perhaps he's afraid people might remember how he rebuked the Boy Scouts of America and Salvation Army for their Christian beliefs about sexual morality.

Certainly, he doesn't want people to be reminded that last year he credited the pro-abortion group EMILY's List as the primary reason for him being elevated to highest leadership post in Congress. And he definitely doesn't want us to know that he sent out a fund-raising letter on behalf of the National Abortion Rights Action League.

Oh, and the taxes he has raised on senior citizens' retirement benefits? He certainly wouldn't want that to get out.

His support for the death tax? When four out of five people in his home state are against it? Shhhhhhhh.

You see, our senator thinks we're not paying attention. Or so said one of his staffers to South Dakota media when asked if he thought there would be public backlash for his obstruction of judicial nominee Miguel Estrada.

Just a taste of hypocrisy, eh Tommy?

bumping for $$$$$

The elitists that want our adoration and votes. They want to control our lives and look over us. They want to impose sanctions on behavior outside of what THEY think is negitive. You will live in a home that is worth 50K while we live in a 2M dollar house. Why, because we are better than you. You will give the government (read me, the elitist/socialist) 3/4ths of your hard earned income to fund the idealogy that they, the elitists, want. There will be no freedom, just slavery.

Didn't we fight this war in 1776? If they want the fight again, let's get it on.

What is astounding is there are still low and average income people in the private sector, not in unions, who honestly think the Democrat party is the party of the working stiff.
