SD GOP Blog: Mostly Wrong, But All Local

I don't expect much useful news from the new official online propaganda organ of the South Dakota Republican Party, the Republican Tide blog. "Tide"? Where do you guys think you are, Virginia?

But my Republican friends at least get credit for buying all their propaganda locally:

For those of you who were wondering- only South Dakota residents will be posting on this blog. [Jason Glodt, political director, SD GOP, "South Dakota Made!" Republican Tide, 2008.07.23]

Expect mostly bull... but at least it's 100% South Dakota bull. What other South Dakota state political party can make that proud claim?

Current precentage of SD-produced content on front page of Republican Tide's competition: 7%. Virginia content: 93%. Your mileage may vary.

  1. It's bull because it's Republican?? What do you call the Democrat blogs? Same thing, different philosophy. It's all politics. Just because I disagree with you politically doesn't make my views bull and yours correct.

  2. It's nice to know that they're at least sticking with their state-of-origin labeling policy.

    Hooray for conservative consistency.

  3. The only time we Republicans are wrong is when some of us think we're wrong but we're really right. ;÷)

  4. I missed the Virginia allusion. Isn't it the Alabama Crimson Tide?

  5. Sorry, Leo—it just strikes me that "tide" is a natural phenomenon that South Dakotans are further removed from than almost any people on the planet, save maybe folks in central Siberia. It doesn't really describe anything here. As for Virginia....

  6. The Republican tide is ebbing right now. But that phenomenon is more pronounced in the big cities and on the coasts, I suspect, than it is here in Siberia.

  7. "Tide"?! From a state with a continental divide? Did they sleep through geography, in addition to sleeping through history, civics, and political science?
