Unless this person knows Noem, the comments are not worthy of being mentioned for they fall into these "offenses against the truth."<br /><br />Rash judgment: without sufficient foundation, assumes the moral fault of a neighbor. <br /><br />Calumny: Remarks contrary to the truth, harms the reputation of others and gives occasion for false judgments concerning them.<br /><br />Either she is is a right wing true believer or she is doing it for personal gain. Pick your slur at least as you avoid talking about legitimate issues.<br /><br />Furthermore, this "interlocutor" is just hiding an ad hominem attack under the auspices of criticizing her views by criticizing motives for which the person has no evidence.<br /><br />And, this person uses false information to promote an agenda. As David Montgomery reported, Noem raised more money just in RC than SHS raised from South Dakotan's this last quarter. <br /><br />Furthermore, Noem's out of state money is miniscule compared to SHS's. Noem has raised over three times more from South Dakotans than SHS. Conversely, SHS has gotten seven times more money from PAC's and out of state individuals.Troy Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-86576437385166386322010-10-22T10:38:10.124-06:002010-10-22T10:38:10.124-06:00Shades of Charlie's Angels?Shades of Charlie's Angels?Bill Fleminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08319507693205848772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-11642849394132450822010-10-22T08:24:45.787-06:002010-10-22T08:24:45.787-06:00An intelligent interlocutor suggested to me last n...An intelligent interlocutor suggested to me last night that the only reason Noem is running is that she sees the chance to ride the image fad of Sarah Palin. She doesn't have governing vision for the country; she just has a vision for gaining personal fame by latching on to the rough-tough gun-totin' basketball-shootin' Western woman image. My interlocutor suggests that where some of her out-state support may come from, the folks who aren't really interested in her but are happy to have her reinforcing the Sarah Palin brand. Think about it: in the out-state press, how many times does a mention of Noem include a mention of Palin? Deep marketing?caheidelbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261598066395322681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15329279.post-5240127042981133652010-10-22T07:45:22.476-06:002010-10-22T07:45:22.476-06:00Cory, good post.

I might add that if current predictions are true, and the GOP really does take over the majority in the House, the Pelosi issue is off the table... moot point. In other words, if the only reason people are going to vote for Kristi is that she will vote against Nancy, Kristi's job in the House might well be over before she ever sets foot in the place.<br /><br />Noem needs to give us some other reasons she's running. My theory is, she needs the money so she can give her son Booker a raise in his allowance.<br /><br />$2 bucks a week? <br /><br />Come on ma. Who can live on that?<br /><br />*aptrox* (...is that some kind of horse, Nick?
