Duane's Dwowning In Out-of-State MoneyI suspect most of you saw that Duane Sand, the man in charge of Americans Against Prosperity, is doing fundraising for a possible run against Congressman Earl Pomeroy in '08.  

Former Republican congressional candidate Duane Sand has been raising money for another run at North Dakota's U.S. House seat, although he said he has not decided whether to make his third statewide race.

Sand, who has been exploring a possible U.S. House campaign since September, raised $250,250 in the last three months of 2007, a Federal Election Commission disclosure filing shows.

The report says Sand has spent most of the money on professional fundraising firms and mailings. It lists $95,353 in cash on hand and $154,772 in debts through Dec. 31.

Bismarck Tribune (AP)

Remember how we're all supposed think North Dakota's Democratic-NPLers are bad people because they received contributions from people who don't live in North Dakota?  Turns out... most of Duane Sand's big money contributors live out of state, too.  According to Sand's FEC filings, only 4 of the 128 (3%) of Duane Sand's big money contributers listed North Dakota as their residence address.

So, let's recap:  Nearly half of John Hoeven's million dollars in campaign contributions comes from out-of-state.  Almost all of Duane Sand's reported money comes from out of state.  

So, if you are a gullible Republican sheep, repeat after me: 

Democrats are BAD because they accept contributions for out-of-state.

Republicans are GOOD because they accept contributions from out-of-state.

Got it?

North Dakotan's Against Prosperity
Ya, I know it's been obvious from the start, but Sand's initiated measure has only one purpose - free publicity to ride all the way to the House of Representatives. Duane (the bath tub), that's not going to happen. If the initiated measure passes all you are going to do is cripple the state of ND. But you really don't care about that, do you.

I wish you would go off in your yellow submarine and find an octopus's garden.

AFP Funding
Where does the Americans for Prosperity get their funding? Is it the Koch brothers, Howie Rich from New York City maybe? Because I hardly think many NDers are contributing to the AFP. Maybe a little digging needs to be done here. Won't it be interesting when he hops into the House race, and the questions start on where the AFP gets its funding. What fun!

Disillusioned
I've begun to think that the idealism of my youth is gone and has been fully replaced by cynicism. I think corruptable people are attracted to power and sycophants are driven to flatter those in power. I think the whole bunch are driven to hang on to power by whatever means they can.

Ick. Only now do I understand people who don't vote - I've never missed so much as a school board election - until now. I've lost faith in everybody.
