I read the letter to the editor from Michelle Artum saying John Thune is lobbying for the pharmaceutical companies. This is a complete fabrication and entirely untrue. Would Artum like to identify the pharmaceutical company Thune represents?

Now, if the writer would care to go online and check out Linda Hall Daschle, she would find that she represents large corporations as a lobbyist and it should be conflict of interest with her husband as the minority leader of the Senate. For this, Linda Daschle receives huge sums of money.

Sen. Tom Daschle, D-S.D., has a cliche that says anything the Republicans propose will benefit the rich only. Well, the Daschles are rich and refuse to make their income tax return public. Don't forget - Daschle is rich and getting richer.

Sounds like South Dakota is thawing nicely...

Daschle hasn't been reading the letters to the editor of the South Dakota papers lately. From their content, South Dakotans are paying attention and the some of locals who helped in the last election are making appearances in court right now....

...but what do I know....I'm living in South Dakota, so I'm not paying attention to all of that....

Let's not forget that BUSH is running on the same ballot as (Barf) Daschle in 2004. If the Republicans actually find a candidate who's not incredibly weak (I've heard there are several from which to choose), Daschle will have to hope for a historic Democratic sweep of monumental proportions (not gonna happen) OR convince a large proportion of Bush voters to vote for him. Considering that Daschle seems to be everything that Bush is NOT and vice-versa, he's got a problem. Dump Daschle 2004 will be a reality, ten to one.

Somebody ought to do a study to see how many DemoncRATS are rich. I bet it's in the multi millions!!

God save our country if publicly discussing a politician's record becomes a criminal act of malice...

Uh, I hate to trouble the writer with unpleasantries, but the new Campaign Finance Law mandates precisely that.

Sure, if you want to talk at the local bar or coffee shop, that's still OK. But, if you want to take out an ad in the paper or on the radio or TV too close to an election to expose the shameful record of your local crook politician, you've just earned yourself a ticket to jail!

'Lil, Tiny Tommy sez:

Hey, say South Dakota. I have the pow-a and I'm bringing it home to you. Like my dance? I practiced just fer you.

Up on my tippy toes I'm not nearly so short. Almost as tall as regular folks, I am.

I wonder how the Democrats get away with always saying the Republicans are the rich ones, blah, blah, blah. Don't the people of this country pay any attention at all? Amazing isn't it? My gosh, the Kennedy's alone ought to give them a hint!

BTW: Little Tommy can't face anything without standing on a stool! (couldn't resist, sorry)
