After the passage of Senate Bill 12 on the 5th, Senator Michael Rohl and Representative Tim Reisch’s campaign finance bill to close the loophole of unlimited loans to campaign committees from George Soros types, It took our own “South Dakota Soros” a couple days of sputtering to get to the point where he finally put out a coherent sentence about what happened from his point of view. And Toby “dumpster-fire” Doeden certainly did that.
As riddled with nonsense and double-speak as it is:
- “Corrupt, establishment Politicians in Pierre did exactly what we thought they would yesterday when they voted to pass a bill to effectively shut down my PAC, Dakota First Action”
Well, no. Toby should look up the definition of corrupt. Many of the people who were voting against the passage of SB12 were people who had been recipients of money from the PAC. The people who voted for campaign finance reform were the legislators who WERE NOT beholding to the PAC.
And how is his PAC shut down? Is it so unstable that it can’t survive without him dumping unlimited cash into it?
- “The bill they passed is highly unconstitutional”
Again, no, and this boob should get better attorneys if that’s what they’re telling him. Campaign finance limits, in this case limiting what an individual can loan a political action committee, have been legal as long as they’ve been around. Trust me, if someone thought they could do away with campaign finance limits, it would have been done long before Toby voted in his first and only Republican Primary last year.
- “To the feckless politicians that weaponized your position in government and voted to silence our voice“
Toby is forgetting the poison pill amendment inserted into the measure in House Committee, keeping the original language but adding a limit on federal to state transfers. After which all but one of his sycophants voted to pass the bill. So.. is he calling all of his people who voted to pass it in committee as amended feckless? Because it contained the same language.
And nobody’s voice is silenced at all. The end result is that wealthy people just can’t make unlimited loans as a dodge to campaign finance limits.
Doeden’s response to the people passing legislation to fix something they missed twenty years ago is just a plain temper tantrum.
The owner of the property (the people) simply went out and fixed the fence to keep the fox from going in and killing any more chickens. Nothing more, nothing less. The difference here is that the fox had sent a lobbyist to Pierre to try to stop campaign finance reform. And he could not stop that from happening.
Unhinged. Delusional. He needs professional help.
Is he running for governor or something?
That would be a blog-content bonanza.
The audacity to call the kettle black and claim he’s “fighting corruption” when he IS the definition of corruption is hilarious!
Screaming far right buzz words like “constitution,” “freedom,” and “you’re RINO, cause you’re mean to me” doesn’t make you a morally upstanding person, Toby.
I hope people are dumb enough to fall for this buffoon’s BS.
Stopping this sleezy Doeden character’s blatant abuse of South Dakota campaign finance laws is a step in the right direction. This session his bought and paid for stooges are inflicting quite a bit of damage to our state. Their absolutely horrible bills can be used against them in campaign ads and talking points.
Toby and his followers are claiming that there are too many RINOs in government. Is he the RINO or are Republicans who don’t agree with his political philosophies RINOs.
His views of the constitution are self serving, just like Pipeline Greta’s.
Toby the Tapeworm is a parasite in the Aberdeen area. He has a history of getting taxpayer help for himself being a government welfare queen but does not want others to able to access help from the government when they need it.
