When ‘Slick Rick’ Weiland announced his new PAC this last week, mocking from the state’s media probably wasn’t the reaction he was looking for. But, that’s what he’s getting from the Capital Journal.
Rick Weiland, erstwhile candidate for the South Dakota seat in the U.S. Senate, just announced he’s forming a new special interest group to raise money to fight the raising of money by special interest groups.
His email announcement about it – with a “Donate Today” link – went out to his base this past week.
There’s the rub
And…
Hence, Weiland’s first impulse on losing in his bid for the Senate, was to rally others to his flag – i.e. form a special interest group – and try to get stuff done politically as he sees fit.
Ain’t that America?
And..
Make everyone sign on the dotted line and email list as soon as they sign the check, so we know who is funding whom.
But let’s not whine so much about “special interest groups.”
Good stuff.
Is this a Brendan ploy or is this just Rick doing his own thing?
It’s goofy and pandering, so I’m thinking Rick all by his lonesome.
Could you please articulate what you mean by “goofy and pandering?”
Who is it pandering to? What is goofy about it?
I’m just a little confused and would love some clarification 🙂
That Rick needs a special interest group to save us all from the special interest groups. And that he needs us to donate now.
It is hard to accept when you weren’t chosen to save the entire human race.
indeed.
That was great! When I got to the part about Mr Rogers I choked on my coffee!
Ricky boy is a hypocrite. As long as he is creating a special interest group to promote socialism, that is good-if you are doing so to promote conservatism, that is bad.
Does he have any kind of a base in South Dakota or is he going for the out-of-state money like he did in the election? The only money I’d give to him would be for a one-way ticket out of South Dakota-provided that the ticket takes him to an already-socialist state like Vermont. No sense in sending him to Texas to spread his ideology.
Rick Weiland – the hypocrite’s hypocrite.
