  1. The SD Grand Old Party, NOem/Rodent and this blog are in full panic mode because the Argus endorsed Sutton. And its endorsement contains many valid points (example: the tax reform legislation has increased the deficit and NOem supported it.). The spin machine is in overdrive! Love it!

    1. I don’t think anyone ever expected the Argus to endorse anyone but Billie, since the moment he announced he was running.

      1. next shocker will be the Rapid City Liberal Journal will endorse Billie too…said no one ever…predicted these papers would pick Liberal Billie at the beginning

        1. “predicted these papers would pick Liberal Billie at the beginning”

          Sure you did. šŸ˜‚

      2. I didn’t think the AL would endorse Sutton from the moment he announced his candidacy. I don’t read minds.

        Was that $1,000.00 you gave to Noem worth it see Trump?

    2. Amd the liberal Argus is opposed to increasing the deficit? When did they start caring about the deficit?

    3. Have you seen the Arduous Liar’s circulation? Have you seen how many people the AL has endorsed the loser of an election? Personally, I like to see who the AL endorses so I know who not to vote for. BTW, since they came out against Kristi Noem, that tells us they are anti-women, right?

        1. Yes, you’d be correct. If leftists and feminists followed the rules they’ve implemented, the Argus is anti-women and they should be protesting in their Handmaid costumes. In fact, they should be protesting Sutton because of his claims to be pro-life, he too is anti-women.

          However, as we’ve come to learn, those rules do not apply to Democrats.

            1. Uh, he’s pro-life. He wants to take reproductive rights away from women, anti-women. That’s what was said about Kavanaugh.

              Happy to help you catch up.

              1. So, according to your logic, someone who is pro-life is anti-women. And pro-life women are anti-women. Uh, sure. You are a complete moron.

                1. Did you miss the Women’s March? How about the women dressed in Handmaid’s Tale costumes protesting Kavanaugh? Catch any of that? Have you heard the chants: ‘My body, my choice’ or ‘Stay out of my vagina’?

                  Sutton claims to be pro-life. Feminists say he wants to take away women’s reproductive rights, the right to kill their baby. It’s leftists’ logic. You must not get out much.

      1. d, where did it state they are anti-women? It employs women. And it endorsed NOem to be the Republican candidate for governor. It endorsed TenHaken for SF mayor and he won. Need more examples or can you look for yourself? Once you stop hyperventilating and overreacting. And think rationally.

        1. Kavanaugh employs women. Trump employs women. They are ANTI-WOMEN, didn’t you hear the protestors’ chants? How many examples do you need or can you look for yourself? Feminists and leftists hyperventilate, did you see them clawing at the Supreme Court doors?

          Do leftist rules apply to Democrats? Not in your world.

        2. By not endorsing Noem, the AL has shown themselves to be anti-women. We learned that when we found out that if we voted for Trump instead of HRC, we must be anti-women. I am just applying the same yardstick liberals apply to conservatives. And incase you missed it, that was sarcasm.

  2. What? That outfit that used to publish a newspaper out of Sioux Falls endorsed Mr. Sutton? I’m shocked. That will only hurt him.

  3. You know Republicans are nothing but lemmings when a good ad just repeats “liberal” as much as possible. No wonder they see education as an expense and not an investment.

    1. Oh please… lol.. Democrats are just as bad if not worse. This ad is hilarious.. especially since it just describes Billie for exactly what he is. Im sure thats tough to swallow. The truth usually is.

  4. Literally LOL

    GLAD TO SEE THE DEMS WASTING MILLIONS IN SD SO THEREā€™S LESS FOR LIBS LIKE HEITKAMP IN ND.

    Keep up the good work DNC. Keeping the Midwest red … one dollar at a time.

  5. Yikes! desperations and just making things up about an opponent. Oh! Well! If that is all they have…ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦ā€¦

    1. If she’s making things up, as you claim, then she could be sued for that, right? I’m not sure you know what you’re talking about. Oh! Well! If that’s all you’ve got…….

  6. I’m a YUGE Kristi Supporter and I’ll vote for her over literally anyone in the State, BUT whoever made this ad just did us a disservice. WE ARE REPUBLICANS. WE DONT MAKE SH*T UP. Billie might not have a perfect pro life voting record but… gawly fellas, this is what makes people leave the party. Obviously Noem/Rhoden is the better choice by a million miles OBVIOUSLY. Why dont we focus on that.

    1. Yep have to agree with you. I support Kristy but this ad was not the best ad to put out there. If people dont know by now whats hes about, theres no changing their minds. This just came across as distasteful and pathetic.

      1. Sorry. Iā€™m a republican and the scary thing is under potus weā€™ve started making things up. A lot of things. Easy trap to fall into.

        1. But you didn’t list any of those things? Why not, should be easy to find all the things being made up. Is the Trump/Russia collusion a make-believe story?

          1. Did the Trump campaign meet with the Russians to obtain info on their opponent without notifying the state Dept? Yep. Did Trump deny it ever happened until he eventually admitted to it? Yep. Do I think Trump is smart enough to not handle these things directly so he can maintain a level of deniability? Yep. His son should already be charged for lying to the FBI about the meeting. That is a fact.

            1. Wait, so the MSM is lying about how stupid Trump is? He’s not competent enough to be president, that’s what they say. But, you’re saying Trump is smart and did collude with Russia to change the election in his favor. I was told Russian bots did that.

              Please, get your stories straight, it’s hard to follow the mob when they continue to change standards and reason why to impeach 45.

    1. Troy Jones I agree 100%. This is South Dakota, we don’t like mud slinging. This race is getting a whole lot closer than it should be…..

  7. Did Lawrence and Schiller create this ad? This was another stinker that will backfire just like living on Mars and other flubs.

    1. Troy, while it is a waste of money, I have to disagree that it doesn’t hurt. There are a lot of people up here God’s country that I have personally spoken with, who are diehard republicans, that are displeased with the negative ad tactics and campaign that Kristi has already began running. While I know this ad does not come directly from Kristi’s campaign, I don’t think the average voter sees any difference. People know Billie is a democrat, morphing his face into Hilary’s while giving him the nickname “bait and switch Billie” is a distasteful and negative tactic that very well might push someone on the fence to the left side of it. Kristi, and the SDGOP, needs to be focusing more on what she has done for SD during her time in the legislature and in Washington while also paving a clear path as to how she wishes to move the state forward as governor.

      1. Exactly Austin. I want to see positive! Give me a reason TOvote for her! Give others a reason.. not just the negative of why we shouldnt vote for Billie. If peopledont know already then oh well. Positivity wins people over way more.

        1. Are you and Austin just getting started in politics? This is nothing new. Politics are tough and if your feelings are so easily hurt, you should refrain from getting involved. I can’t imagine how you’d feel knowing what some of the founding fathers said about each other during their debates.

          Positivity wins people over way more? Then why is it that people will tell 10 people something bad that’s happened to them and rarely tell anyone when something positive happens?

          1. It is funny how you somehow associate my desire for a better campaign to help Kristi win to my feeling easily being hurt. Which would also be an assumption, and you know what they say about people who assume things? I would let you know, but I wouldn’t want to hurt your feelings. And for the record, I have zero current political ambitions. Not because my feelings are easily hurt, but because I enjoy my sanity.

            1. So, we’re suppose to pander to your desires? That’s not how this works. Kristi’s campaign would be better if she and others neglected to highlight opponents’ stand on policies, or lack there of? Who says? Oh, that’s right, Austin Hoffman says his opinion is best and most powerful.

              That’s good advice to give to yourself… stay out of politics.

              1. At the rate Austin is going he’ll start to feel Dusty, highlighting Bjorkman took money from special interest lobbyists, is undesirable and displeasing too.

            1. And you took the time to express your feelings about an anonymous poster, who’s the idiot?

              1. Lol.. you took the time to reply to it!! Its so funny when people get worked up on here.. thats the best part of this whole comment section!

                1. And so did you!!

                  I don’t take it personal, but some do, that’s what you think is the “best part”.

                  But, but,…. my feeeelings.

                    1. That’s what you want, my name? I don’t care about your name.

                      I’m not a man, don’t assume my gender. That’s leftist rule #33 and you just broke it. Shame, shame.

  8. Billieā€™s wife idolizes Gerda Lerner, a radical that studied under Marxism and was married to a communist theater producer. Not only that she is huge pro choice. With that kind of influence in his life, I would say it would be pretty scary to send him to Pierre.

    1. Are we electing his wife to office? If Billie is elected is there a 2nd cousin that made a trip to Communist China we should worry about? Communist China infiltration of the Governor’s office?

      1. His mom and his wife are huge pro choice and huge influences in his life. Of course if you donā€™t personally know the family, you have no idea that he is truly Bait and Switch Billie.

        1. What choice are they supporting?

          Contraception? Abstinence? Adoption? Raise your baby? Lots of choices before we get to the one where an innocent life is murdered and the other is dealing with the trauma of loosing their child.

          1. I know for a fact Kelsea is for abortion. I also know Billie is for whatever his wife is for. You people who dont know them, haveno idea the influence she has on him. So believe me, a vote for Billie is a vote for his little wife. And no one in Burke wants her up there. Take note.

            1. I see desperation of trying to find anything and I mean anything since Noem’s planned coronation does not look like it will happen. The South Dakota Snow Queen will not not be crowned a governor. These last few weeks will make what she did to Marty look like nothing with going negative and making things up to see if it sticks. It’s the Kristi Noem style. Governor Sutton will be a welcome change from all the scandals that have plagued this state.

              1. What scandals? If you think Noem was involved in any SD scandals you are crazy!! Sutton has been crying “Scandal” and “Corruption” for his entire campaign. If there truly was scandals or corruption that Sutton personally knew about, by law, as an elected official, he is guilty and could be prosecuted for not reporting them. Also, the ad that was released about Jackley the last couple of weeks was true. That lady did win a law suit for $1.5 million because of something he did. He could have eased the blow by coming out and saying “I made a mistake”. We all make mistakes. Just saying it would have helped him a lot if the ego was let go and he apologized to you the tax payers for making a mistake that cost you all $1.5 million. Kristi Noem is the best choice for SD and will be getting my vote.

          2. To put it in very simple terms so you can understand, his wife and mom think itā€™s ok to rip a baby from his or hers motherā€™s womb because that life is an inconvenience.

    2. Im a little perplexed by your post? So Billie and his wife can’t have differing opinions? My husband and I debate politics and are not always on the same side. My dad and I debate politics and are very often not on the same side. Just like people making a big deal about his distant in laws donating to Noem – I just don’t get the big deal. I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that some people must live in families where everyone has the same views politically. Our Thanksgivings would be a lot more mundane. Hahaha

      1. If you donā€™t think his wife and his mom have a huge influence in his decision making, you donā€™t know this family personally. For those of us that know them personally, we know that he is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of S.D. voters.He is definitely not a conservative Democrat. In his own words, he likes Bernie Sanders policies. He probably forgot that this conversation was videotaped. Lol. Thereā€™s so much more that he is hiding, but you have your head in the sand so thereā€™s no use wasting any more of my time.

  9. Trump and Bernie are a lot a like…..They both are not part of the establishment…….trade policies.

    1. You can go ahead and support B.S. Iā€™d like to go ahead and keep some of my hard earned money.

  10. That’s why I am supporting Billie Sutton and the Conservative Republicans. Look how he voted on the GOAC committee referring to Gear-up.
    Government and taxes have increased under the Republicans.

    1. Look, everybody! Democrat-pretending-to-be-anything-else Tara Volesky has an opinion about whom we should vote! Listen up!

    2. Tara’s conservatives views in a nutshell.

      “I like the policies of Bernie, but I’m going to be voting for Hillary” – Billie Sutton

    3. Tara, you mean the Gear Up committee he was on as he was taking in $11,000 on the side from the defense lawyers.

      1. Those Lawyers are Democrats. There was no conflict of interest because he was not on the jury. He voted to open up the investigation. So your point?????
