Earl Pomeroy Is A Bit Of A Hypocrite For Complaining About Out Of State Politicking

Proof • November 18, 2009

Recently a group called The 60 Plus Association has been running ads in North Dakota rightfully calling out Pomeroy for his support of government health care and betrayal of North Dakota voters.
Here’s the ad:

Pomeroy has responded to his ad by castigating The 60 Plus Association as an “out of state special interest group.” Which is pretty funny for two reason.
First, the liberal counterpart to the 60 Plus Association is the AARP. Pomeroy has busied himself hiding behind the AARP (basically an insurance company itself these days that stands to profit mightily from government health care), but it’s worth noting that the group isn’t exactly a North Dakota-based special interest group. If The 60 Plus Association is an “out of state special interest group” isn’t the AARP as well?
Further, is Pomeroy is so concerned with out of state political influence I’m sure he’ll be giving back the 90% of his campaign war chest that was contributed by non-North Dakotans, right?
Maybe some enterprising North Dakota journalist should ask Rep. Pomeroy about this hypocrisy. I would, but I’m not allowed to ask him questions any more.

he says it and the people eat it up. while the gop does a poor job each year telling people where they get their cash from, i really dont think the gop has a chance against them. they bring back too much cash.

Snort.

I thought the last time I looked this up, that he had more than 90%of his campaign contributions from out of state interests, but maybe it was Conrad or Dorgan that had a bigger out of state contribution rate.

I am not so sure people are lapping him up anymore. If they were, he wouldn’t need to go on the “hide behind AARP” tour he is doing now.

Politics and money have always gone hand in hand (to the pocket). It doesn’t matter where the money comes from the important thing is to see who it is coming from. 100% disclosure must be required, mandated and enforce – under penalty of impeachment. At least we can see how much a vote cost and who bought it – handy information come election time.

Where is the ND media on this hypocrisy?

What’s worse is that he just tosses out these lies and the journalists, who are supposed to be questioning this stuff and treating it with skepticism, just lap it up.

I remember seeing a Pomeroy sign in Grand Forks on Washington Street just riddled with paintballs. It made my day.
