Yes, there are a lot of out-of-state interests advertising in North Dakota. How about, for instance all the unions that are advocating the government takeover of health care by their Democrat conspirators, so they can offload union pensions onto the US taxpayer? Apparently those are okay with the Congressman.

With that in mind, I decided to see how much evil “out of state” money Congressman Pomeroy is stuffing into his pockets for his political campaign. A quick web search brought me to this page on opensecrets.org, which as of the time of this post indicates that 90% of Earl Pomeroy’s campaign money comes from outside of North Dakota! Does that officially make Congressman Pomeroy a hypocrite for appearing on ND television stations, whining about “out of state special interests?” It seems, sir, that it is out of state special interests funding your campaign for re-election!

It’s interesting…in the lists of Top Metro Areas and Top Zip Codes of his contributions, only Grand Forks makes the list. Otherwise, North Dakota doesn’t even appear on the page! Congressman Pomeroy, you’ve got a LOT of explaining to do.

Update: Perhaps he’s not the only one, however. Did it not ever occur to any of the KXMB News staff, not even once, to question the Congressman’s source of funding? It took me thirty seconds to find this information. The local TV stations make a very large portion of their revenue from the three Democrats every election cycle, and I think it’s having an effect on the newsrooms. They look the other way when ever one of them goof up (such as Byron Dorgan’s connections to Jack Abramoff or Kent Conrad’s ethics investigation in the Countrywide Mortgage scandal) and then act like cheerleaders and stenographers whenever granted an opportunity by the congressmen’s public relations staff. Perhaps it is because they are the final beneficiaries of much of those Democrats’ out-of-state campaign money!

Updated 3/3/2010: According to this POLITICO article, the unions are funneling $700,000 into advertising in favor of Earl Pomeroy and his Democrat cronies. Do you suppose Earl will be decrying this use of “out of state” money as well? Call his office and ask him!

First, Earl decided he needed the accolades of Washington insiders, which he achieved by announcing support for this monstrosity of a bill.

Also, Earl appeared at a press conference to apologize to Nancy Pelosi, whom he really serves when the rubber meats the road. That will insure the backing of the national Democrat (not Democratic) party in his re-election bid. North Dakotans got sold down the river.

Saturday night, in clear violation of promises by President Obama and Speaker Pelosi that final legislation would be placed online for 72 hours for public review, Earl Pomeroy voted to cut Medicare by $400 billion and start taxing North Dakotans and North Dakota small businesses into compliance with socialized health care.

This is a pattern with Rep. Pomeroy, who represents the Democrat Party more than he represents North Dakota. Perhaps any ND suffix after his name should just be retasked to stand for National Democrats.

The first particular instance that really angered me was when I stood beside fellow Patriot Guard Riders at the funeral of a fallen soldier. On June 17th, 2009, Earl Pomeroy made sure to attend the funeral of a fallen North Dakota soldier and play the part of a supportive member of government. There’s only one problem: less than 24 hours earlier he had voted with fellow Democrats against a resolution voicing support for the soldiers and pledging victory in the Global War on Terror! He couldn’t split from national Democrats even to support the soldiers, but then the hypocrite comes back to North Dakota to act like it never happened.

While in North Dakota, he’s one Earl Pomeroy…after the jet ride back to Washington, DC, he’s an entirely different Earl Pomeroy altogether. Don’t take my word for it; click on each of the links indicated in blue in what I just wrote above. Connect the dots for yourself; that’s why I’m diligent in posting links supporting every point I make. The next time you have a chance to vote against this traitorous hypocrite on a ballot, please exercise your right to do so. Remember: a vote for Earl Pomeroy is a vote to rubber-stamp whatever the most extreme leftists in Congress want him to do.

This article describes the crazy lengths to which they’ll go: changing the locks on the door to the committee meeting room where the decision to issue subpoenas would be made. They then informed Republicans that only the Democrats would have the keys.

The article goes on to explain that it’s a retaliatory trick that the Democrats are using after being busted for canceling a meeting on the matter, lying that they had conflicts in their schedules.

The larger crime here, in my opinion, dwarfs the sweetheart mortgage deal on the property. It is my firm belief that Senators Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan claim this apartment complex as their “residence” so they can remain eligible as North Dakotans on paper for reelection and get sent back east, where Senator Conrad has little real estate gems like this $1.4 million beach house.

With news reports documenting the tearful goodbyes of North Dakota soldiers (the largest National Guard force since the Korean war, according to this KX News article), Earl Pomeroy doesn’t even have the courage to face his own constituents, whose will he wants to overrule in favor of Democrat party loyalty.

This shouldn’t be a surprise; the main reason why I refer to Congressman Pomeroy as a coward is highlighted in this post. The House of Representatives had a non-binding resolution declaring that American soldiers will be victorious in the Global War on Terror. Pomeroy voted against this resolution in support of our soldiers in order to remain a loyal Democrat. Then, within a day, he showed up at the funeral of a North Dakota soldier and put on his “patriot face” for those of us standing with the Patriot Guard. How wickedly dishonest and hypocritical can a guy be? Just study Earl.

If you don’t already know the details of that little encounter, please click here for the text of the bill. Apparently the one thing Earl Pomeroy does not want to face is the truth. While our soldiers are fighting in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo, Earl Pomeroy hides behind a telephone and a call screener to avoid the citizens who he fails to represent.

The argumentative part of me wants to say, “there you have it, lefties. You wrote books about assassinating President Bush, you called him Hitler, you made ‘art’ depicting him as a monkey, and every other demented thing you could think of. See how you like it when it’s your messiah getting the treatment.” Frankly, I don’t care to stoop to their level.

I see that some people are trying to make a buck off this.

While I’m not a frequent visitor of her site, I noticed today that Michelle Malkin has some examples of the tolerant left’s treatment of our 43rd President.

Rather than act like so-called “professional” journalists, I’ll document this a little bit:

Link: President Obama was looking for a dog in November.

Link: Bo the Dog shows up at the White House in April, six months later.

Bonus: Another broken promise, since Barack Obama promised to adopt a shelter dog.

Dog fans: Bo has his own WIkipedia page.

I’ve made it clear I’m against government-run health care. What they’re trying to do now isn’t even about health, care, it’s about control. But regardless of whether you agree or not, don’t you think we could take more time to overhaul one sixth of the US economy than it takes to select your kids’ pet?

If you agree, please download this full size graphic I made and pass it along (without modifying it, please). Let’s put the pressure on before we find ourselves stuck in a system that was forced upon us in haste and which none of us will want!
