Nuts. No Nader factor in the SD Senate race.

Her Royal Highness:"Time to control or destroy Giago.
Get Giago's and his friends' FBI files.""

OK, when do we find out what kind of promises he made, where's the next casino?

[alex]

Tell me why I am not surprised?

[IronJack]

No Giagos (a typical down-on-the-reservation liberal) for Thune. But Russell Means, who commands a much larger following, has said that a vote for Daschle is a vote for business as usual, and that only means more unemployment, alcoholism, violence, and suicide. Means is backing the Republican.

[TrueBeliever9]

What a shame! It was the Democrat operatives that ripped off the Indians and made off with huge chunks of their money.

[snooker]

How anyone from South Dakota could vote for this liberal POS is beyond me.

The only thing I see is it is an easy way for influence buyers to pay a small price for a big return.

The people of South Dakota get nothing but gun control in return.

I guess duh-ashola has the 'dead Indian' vote now locked up.

[samtheman]

Several people here in FR predicted this was going to happen. It was a publicity stunt to force the RATS to promise more (taxpayer) money to the local tribes.

Meanwhile, the voter registration drive continues. Come one, come all. Be ye alive. Be ye dead. Be ye never-been-born.

[RobFromGa]

I expect to see Nader do the same thing.

[Grampa Dave]

More of our tax money or FBI Files or a combination of both to make this leech turn over for the Da$$hole?

[gunnedah]

Tom promised him a job being a lobbyist, like wife Linda.
Tom can get millions directed to him personally and it will be legal.
The Mafia in America is a credit when compared to our government and its leaders.

[Ronin]

Horse head in bed?

[harpu]

Candidly, to me, allowing butthole to continue on in the U.S. Senate would be an unbearable embarrassment if I were a SD Freeper. But that's just me...

I predict that sometime in late summer, with Kerry going nowhere in the polls, Nader will withdraw and throw support to Kerry. By that time Kerry might be so desperate that he will pick Nader as his running mate in exchange for his support.

I still say SD is in play.

[Rockitz]

As I've put forth on this forum a number of times before, the RNC would be money ahead if it were to build a few thousand timeshare units in South Dakota and fill them with faithful, retired, GOP voters who are not needed in their home states for the months prior and up to the election. It is a page from the RAT playbook, but we've got to counter the dead and fake Indian vote somehow.
