Nothing will cause me to get up from a rotten bout of the flu to hop on my computer than Democrats beating each other up.
And today, we have a hilarious example with the mouthpiece for the liberal wing of the Democrat party savaging on the only person left on the dem’s bench:
Some of my Democratic friends wonder why I’m not enthusiastic about putting up Sioux Falls Mayor Mike Huether as a statewide candidate for our party.
and…
The shady contracting and secrecy surrounding Mayor Huether’s jobs marketing program seems to be equal parts dumb and arrogant. Dumb and arrogant are not on my checklist for Democratic candidates or for any kind of candidate who wants to run my community or my state.
Of course, there were other choice words in the comment section that dems had for Mayor Mike Huether.
“Bottom line, Mike Huether strikes me as creepy. Having nobody on a statewide Democratic Party ballot position would be slightly better than enduring Huether’s manic, self-conceited braying from Rowena to Rochford.”
and…
“I still won’t brook an empty ballot. But if Huether dares, we’d better have a primary.”
I can almost hear the rallying cry screeched from on high from the liberal wing of the Democrat Party – “Is there another Weiland out there?”
Mayor Mike Huether has a portrait of himself hanging up in the waiting room / reception to his office. Am I just being nit-picky or is that normal?
Welcome him to your party he supports the well off and not the working class.Get behind him as he pretends to be the people person but rember who he worked for.
Absolutely. Nothing disqualifies a Democrat more than having a couple of Real Jobs on his resume.
This just proves the total irrelevancy of the SDDP. It is unfortunate as I do believe that two strong political parties ultimately benefit democracy.
Slap an R on Huether and he will fit right in with the establishment Republicans in Pierre.
i just got my latest weiland ‘take it back’ e-blast. seems he’s all het up that rand paul is horning in on the ‘take it back’ trademark, and weiland wants people to give him cash because of it.
“Having nobody on a statewide Democratic Party ballot position would be slightly better than enduring Huether’s manic, self-conceited braying from Rowena to Rochford.” that sounds downright libertarian.
More people will figure this guy out. Right or left, he’s bad for the State and Sioux Falls. He’s self serving and arrogant and will use anyone to get what he wants. He rewards his cronies and will punish those that disagree. He’s a Chicago type mayor. He will create a need, justify with a study or a report that will be skewed by his data. Then use it to push his agenda. Watch this person. Ask women who have worked for him what they think of him. Ask former co-workers or people that know him.
Who puts their name and face on a jobs campaign that’s paid for by tax payers? This is a guy that has openly stated he wants to run for governor. Why are taxpayers paying for this and how can it be legal?
Self back-patting glory hounds never do well in South Dakota. He might become mayor of something bigger in Minnesota.
