My text messaging and my phone just started blowing up first thing this afternoon today. It started off with “Congrats on being Toby’s new opponent!” with the following image attached:
“Pat Powers is one of the dirtiest you’ll find in South Dakota.” Well.. that kind of hurts. I took a shower yesterday whether I needed it or not! Had a dental appointment, and I was trying to be polite.
Oh! it wasn’t about hygiene? It was actually about the fact I write about South Dakota politics. (SDWC birthday alert – and have done so for 19 years next week). So it’s nothing I haven’t heard before. I’m quite sure I’m awful and disliked by politicians and dogs alike. One of my daughters who saw this remarked that “He picked good photos of you.” Well, thank God for that!
I mean, I’d hate to get in a candidate’s head and have them use bad photos of me.
Mrs. Dakotawarcollege – who is far brighter than me, hence the Dr. in front of her name – did notice one thing. That Toby appears to have completely recovered and found himself healed from the sudden onset of illness that triggered his forced cancellation from speaking to Brown County Republicans today. The affliction that supposedly left him so infirm and frail that he couldn’t address the Republican faithful in his own hometown.
Clearly Toby has turned around one of the worst cases of the 24 hour I-don’t-vote-in-republican-primaries influenza viruses that we’ve ever seen. Thankfully your thoughts and prayers for this congressional explorer have healed him like it was a gosh darned tent revival. Either that or it was Ivermectin.
Whatever the reason for his equally sudden cure, it clearly healed him enough to provide newfound strength to go after someone who looked up voter records.
I’m not sure how to best commemorate the occasion.
Probably a button.
I’ll see about getting some made. They’re durable, and there’s a chance it may be a long campaign.
I LOVE the fact he has the nerve to call you a bully. Anyone from Aberdeen who isn’t kissing his pompous butt can tell you Toby is one of the biggest bullies around.
When he’s going after Dusty, he’s holding him accountable. When someone is holding Toby accountable it becomes “stalking”. Hmm…that’s a head scratcher. If you can’t stand the heat, get outta the kitchen.
Anonymous 4:44 beat me to it.
Toby Doeden Pot Calling Kettle Black has a long history of being a bully and in social media where he encourages his fan club to join in.
Toby can sure give it but cannot take it when people hold him accountable!
Then he brings a Jesus image into his video playing the Christian card. Too bad he does not run as an independent or the Libertarian he is. During the state fair someone could market an image of Toby Doeden with that big fat head of his on a stick with the slogan “Hypocrite on a Stick Toby Doeden”
They look like brothers.
I don’t know anything about this fellow. I ‘ m not up to speed on Aberdeen politics and politicians nor am I aware of movers and shakers in the business community there, though this fellow considers himself a member of the business elite. He has a tall order taking out Dusty and he’s come out swinging, though I’ll be darned if I can figure out his message.Appears to me, to be another right wing rabble rouser. I don’t think Joe Barnett would approve.
How do I get one of those buttons? It could be worth some money someday.
grudznick wants to know who is on this exploratory committee. Do any of you fellows know where the list is?
It is supposedly the most powerful of all time.
Didn’t dakotafreepress go offline……wait a minute.
I watched his video.
How dare you question his voting record???! !
I eagerly await his arrival in Brookings.
see if the Sioux River Republican Women, AKA the Distaff Wackadoodles, will sponsor an event.
Sounds like a road trip to Brookings!
