Great forum tonight by the Watertown Chamber of Commerce with the District 4 House and District 5 State Senate Republican candidates:
There were some good comments from candidates. And some not so good. District 4’s Adam Grimm came out in opposition to corn being used for ethanol. And he certainly grabbed my attention when he declared “getting Government out of education is a plus.” Well.. I’m not sure who is supposed to run local schools then?
In the District 5 Senate race, I’m not sure Lee Schoenbeck’s opponent generates enough mental power to ambulate. I think the moderator spent more time picking apart some of the dumb things he said than Lee Schoenbeck had to address. That, and Colin Paulsen slammed the Governor talking about Marijuana getting more votes than she did. Not sure that’s going to earn him any points in Watertown.
Line of the night did come from the Senator, when he declared: “If leaders don’t speak out, you get people like this Pischke from Dell Rapids and Frye Mueller from out in the Hills.. you get people you wouldn’t want taking care of your dog.”
Ouch.
I felt like I was watching the Johnny Depp case.
Frye-Muller wouldn’t be a good dog handler because every time she sees drug dog going thru the Capitol she instantly cries “ALLERGIES!!” And takes off for the day. Of course if they bring the drug dog without her seeing it she is fine. Maybe she just suffers from sight allergies, who knows?
Then why don’t they make the dog a permanent fixture at the Capitol? Maybe JFM would never come back!
Maybe this is why Taffy is absent so often, allergies? I know they make medication for those allergies, but that stuff is forced upon us by the new world order. I wouldn’t be taking that “Fauci Benedryl” either.
Seems like Paulsen should have prepared for this debate. That might have helped him a little bit.
It was almost painful to view. Stammering and looking down at the table while talking. Seldom looked at the audience. Most everyone else looked out at the audience when speaking or speaking to the moderator.
I still prefer him over the slick liar That wants the bust kneecaps for tax increases
HANDS OFF MY DOG!
I do not want the township, city, county, state, or federal governments taking care of my dog.
I have acquired the puppy, cared for it, fed it, trained it, and sought medical attention when needed. I will take care of my own dog.
We have all witnessed how well the government has taken care of the tribes. We have seen how they have handled Medicare and Medicaid. I dread to think how they will deal with a working dog.
No, Thank you.
Speaking from experience, Lee’s British Labs require a lot of attention!
Was it a slam or just speaking facts?
Everybody already has good common sense that parents, using modern tools, can do a better job educating their kids.
But a necessary precursor to doing this is to fix the economy, which has been systemically looted for about a hundred years while US citizens took a commission and thought they were getting wealthy.
Public schools are a dismal failure even when NOT considering the obscene amount of money paid by the public for the service.
It’s not a matter of whether or not parents can educate their kids. It’s a matter of if they will. Public schools are a failure because they lack the proper funding. We maintain archaic processes and have not pushed for year round schooling. The fact that China is killing us in innovation is because their goal is to educate their population in the best way possible and they could care less about summer vacation and sports. They understand the value of education and Republicans continually attack it.
Will this low brow comment from Lee age well?
Time will tell.
Comparing me to a cancer certainly did not age well at all.
Seems his standoffish attitude and razor sharp elbows threaten to pop his hot air balloon.
Win or lose, it would seem MAGA is alive and well in South Dakota.
How are we going to count the votes, how are we going to clean up our roles, and how are we going to get rid of computers used to tabulate the votes?
If I were an election fraudster leader right now, I would be very wary that the detention facilities in GITMO have gotten much, much bigger.
This is not a game.
Sadly, there will be many caught behind the line holding the bag. Note to fraudsters – they don’t really care about you. You are expendable.
Quit pushing the election lies. This is why no one takes magats seriously.
This is where, for a few days, he will try to post less crazy content to make himself amenable to the DWC commentariat. Then, his brain will snap after a few days of keeping it all under wraps and he’ll have another conspiracy-laden explosion again. It’s like clockwork.
While I don’t often agree with what Pischke and Frye-Mueller say, It makes me sad to see remarks that are demeaning, especially from our leaders. Lee should be better than that.
Well, he wasn’t wrong. I wouldn’t leave my dogs with JFM. Even the one who could be a little better house-trained.
Mr. Schoenbeck is righter than right. Ms. Frye-Muller took care of one of grudznick’s dogs a few years ago. The beast came back with fleas and STDs. I had to put it down.
Agree or disagree on policies this is still unprofessional conduct by Lee and it’s disappointing to see him do this but he’s done it numerous times through the years that’s why he was kicked out of the caucus
I think Grimm’s kids are home taught to keep them away from liberal influences in public schools. They can learn their social skills online & be internet trolls like their dad is.
