Global Poverty Act of 2007 (H.R.1302, S.2433) That is a horrible bill and should be vetoed. Where do they come up with this crap?

Pomeroy voted for this bill. It was passed by UNANIMOUS voice vote.

 Thanks Uncle Earl for voting to give away  over $800 BILLION TWICE!!! That is over 1 TRILLION dollars

That is dead on.  Pomeroy is really out of touch.  I feel sorry for our state.  Duane Sand is a breath of fresh air in this state.  A veteran who served proudly, a man who grew up on a farm and knows the value of hard work, and a straight shooter.  Pomeroy went to school, worked as an attorney for four years, and straight to the gravy train in the government. 

Duane Sand is North Dakota and I am proud to vote for him.

Rick,

I respect your viewpoint on a lot of things, I honestly do, but on this I need us to unite.  It's your choice.  I would even make a deal with you and vote for Mathern if I thought I could convince you to vote for Sand. 

Pomeroy's dealings effect us all.  The pork, the deals, and the corruption.  Real corruption.  If Sand gets in and does it, then let's team up and  go after him.  But on this, I'm not playing, Pomeroy is corrupt.  It gets us all in North Dakota.

I'll debate and have fun on all the issues, but on this one I care about us all.  Vote Obama if you want, bad mouth Bush, go for it.  I don't care on that.  But on Pomeroy and Sand, one is a liar and a corrupt power mad man and one isn't.  I don't want to see you, me, or this state screwed.

I swear, you have my word, I won't vote for Hoeven, Kalk or anyone else if you will go Sand.  I feel that strong about it.

Pomeroy has been sitting on the mountain of money for to long.  He's getting dizzy up there. 

I read where 401k's are 20% down right now.  Congress and Earl Pomeroy come through again.  It seriously makes me sick when I think of my father two years from retirement and how he's taking body blows.  All the while Earl profits because we bail out his doners.  Sickening!

I'm not white hot or anything, I'm digusted.  I don't hate Earl, I just think he's done a terrible job.  His laziness and greed are out of control. 

Yeah, this guy has to go.

Duane Sand 2008'.   Let's vote North Dakota on this one and not party.  We can fight the other stuff all day long and I'm sure I will, but on this, a vote for Earl Pomeroy is a vote for San Francisco and a vote for Duane Sand is a vote for North Dakota.

WOW!! You actually get a response from Pomeroy? It has been my experience that he can not even get one of his underlings to send me a form letter. I have written to him many times and I am always respectful, yet he does not feel the need to write me back most of the time. I would say once out of every 10 letters I send I get a reply. When I write to thank him for supporting an issue or compliment him I get a reply right away. Funny how that works.

I will hold my nose and vote for Mr Sand on election day!

I have no fight with Mr. Dorgan. I'm out to see justice done in North Dakota. Mr. Dorgan always writes back to me when I have a question.  The typical Pomeroy response goes as follows:

1.  Repeat your own question back to you .

2.  Give history of issue (exactly what you already know)

3.  Give example of vote he once took.

4.  Bash Bush

5.  Promises to take it under consideration.

This is for something like asking if the Grand Forks base will stay open.  Earl Pomeroy abused his position.  I have no issue with Mr. Dorgan and don't think its fair to lump him in with Pomeroy.

Earl Pomeroy is playing the little game where he was caught with his hand in the cookie jar and now its everyone else's fault.  Sorry Earl.  You took money from AIG, invested in AIG, and bailed them out.  Us taxpayers get to pay for you to keep your tidy little investment.

People, lets keep fighting over Obama/McCain and Hoeven/Mathern, but on this one, lets be united.  Justice needs to be served.  Earl Pomeroy must go.

I'm begging everyone to join with me the others with like minds on this site and put aside the partisan stuff for one vote.  Let's vote Duane Sand as our next Congressman.  I want some honesty in Congress.

I forgot to mention something to VIcky-

alfonso rodriguez jr. was let out prison and civil commitment by pawlenty in MN, what is pawlenty's party affiliation?

huh, fossil, vicky, blmcar, snooze, and all repubs/conservatives/evangelists,etc

you are right in picking on conrad and earl, fire away.

check your facts on Dorgan though. 

In 1999 during a republican controlled congress, on the senate floor Byron Dorgan warned that a lack of regulation will lead to more funny money and more unethical business practices, eventually resulting in a collapse and the need for a taxpayer bailout.  Dorgan must have had a glass ball that the repubs can't get their hands on, or maybe it was that he was just right on this and all all other idiotic policies during these last two administrations.  Dorgan is a valuable representative to all of North Dakota, red or blue.

I have read some things that Earl and Conrad have said, including today's Fargo Forum.  They think they are doing the right thing with this meltdown.  I think that they should do what their constituents asked.  Period.

People need to remember that Dorgan voted against this, because he doesn't trust Bush, Paulson, or Bernake.  Byron Dorgan once again is on the side of ND, as he is all the time.  It is ridiculous to bunch Dorgan in with anyone else in politics because there is no one in his league.  Dorgan listens to his voters, fights the good fights for ND, and isn't afraid to stand up to something popular when he knows its wrong.  Whether its this bailout, the dereg of wall street, commodity speculation, Halliburton ripping off the US taxpayer, or fighting Mexican trucking Byron Dorgan fights for everyday americans on both sides of the aisle.  If you buy anything from any store, apply for a loan, or have a credit card Byron Dorgan works for you, which is more than we can say for about 90% of politicians at local, state, or federal levels of this country.

Roon,  good post.    Rush Limbaugh is far more than just an entertainer.     It has been varified that he is  98% CORRECT AND TRUTHFUL with his news reporting.... 

I don't think   NBC, ABC MSNBC OR CBS can quote those numbers.
