Lieberman McCain obama

D-Bag of this Election Cycle Award goes to; Joe Lieberman

l3wis 11Comments

Though John McCain will probably lose, it won’t be because of Joe, who has stood by his (my) friend John through thick and thin.

Correcting John when he didn’t know there was a difference between the Iranian guard and Alqueda.

Take a big deuce on his party and speaking at the RNC.

Repeatly lying to voters about Obama’s record.

But I think the moment that sealed the D-Bag award for America’s favorite Jew was when Obama took Joe to a corner and chewed his ass on the senate floor. As you know, Obama is pretty leveled headed, probably one of the main reasons he has picked up so many endorsements, but it didn’t look like Obama and Joe were talking about football scores during their exchange.

Congrats Joe! May you spill your douchey-ness all over yourself.

From the New Yorker, The Insiders.

“I’m not a member of the permanent political establishment. And I’ve learned quickly these past few days that if you’re not a member in good standing of the Washington élite then some in the media consider a candidate unqualified for that reason alone.” But, she added, “I’m not going to Washington to seek their good opinion.”

District 12

Worst TV commercial of the Election cycle

l3wis 2Comments

There has been some pretty silly TV commercials in this election cycle – especially the district races. but I think Sandy Jerstad’s latest ad takes the cake. She is sitting on a porch in TEA, and talks about how she wishes she lives there, but even though she does not, she will still represent them. Huh? But the best part is when she starts talking about issues important Tea-rites. She mentions Olivia’s adult superstore then jumps to Medicare. What?! Porno shops and Elderly care. Worst segway ever.

First off, I know Sandy is registered as a Democrat, but she ain’t no Democrat, nor is she a Republican. Not sure what party or planet she is from.

As for Olivia’s, it is NOT a MAJOR ISSUE, you made it into a major issue Sandy. The 1st and 14th Amendments protect adults to visit that store whenever they want to. And if you disapprove of dildos and girly mags, I suggest you don’t go there.

Citizens for Reponsible Sales Tax SF City Council Sioux Falls

Sales Tax increase; Pretty Ridiculous

l3wis 0Comments

I found this letter to the Editor of the Argus Leader right on;

Representatives of developers, construction companies and other groups such as the Chamber of Commerce took more than two hours to argue the need for such development in promoting the growth of the city.

This was ridiculous. Nobody was opposing the development of these arterial roads or seeking to stall the city’s growth.

I found if complete BS that the mayor let the proponents (developers) speak first. I also found it ironic that not a single individual citizen (not representing a group or business) came forth for this tax increase, and equally ironic that not a single individual came forth (representing a business) to oppose this tax increase. This really was about special interests vs. citizens. And 4 councilors (who are knee deep in special interests) and the mayor voted against the citizens.

The opposition to the tax increase might well have orchestrated another two hours of testimony from representatives of agencies and organizations that know only too well the struggles of a sizeable segment of the city’s population:

Yes, but by the time we got to take the podium it was 10:30 at night (3 1/2 hours after the meeting started, and we got to listen to councilor Knudson whine about being tired (maybe she was tired of reading closed captioning for that long).

I will be interviewed late this afternoon for Jon Micheals Sunday talk show that airs on KELO radio talking about the petition drive.
