North Dakota Republicans Fire Back At Democrats Over Public Service Announcement Controversy

NDGOP Chairman Gary Emineth fired back via press release at Democrats over their demand for an investigation into a public service announcement at least one of them (Senator Kent Conrad) admitted to not even seeing before filing his complaint:

Sen. Kent Conrad (D-ND) recent admittance to never watching the PSA has raised suspicions of partisan politics, since Conrad, along with Sen. Byron Dorgan (D-ND) and Rep. Earl Pomeroy (D-ND), composed a letter to the US Department of Health and Human Service requesting a federal investigation on Hamm.

“Requesting federal investigations on public service announcements without having seen the PSA should not be a Congressman’s main concern with everything that is going on in America right now.” Emineth explained. “I think taking time out to configure a comprehensive energy plan saving consumers from high energy prices would be a better use of taxpayer dollars, rather than requesting federal investigations on a public service announcement.”

“It’s ironic that a U.S. Senator under investigation for ethics violations is throwing out allegations at a North Dakota Public Official just doing his job,” Emineth concluded.

Ouch.

I think Team North Dakota is out of touch and needs to start doing the states business and stop with these worthless tactics…

Hats off to Emineth!  The mainstream Fargo media will continue to give press to the Dems who are complaining. It’s time to fight back.  Let’s see, is Conrad still under investigation for his sweet loan deals, the one on the apartments he owns in Minot, for example?  That Conrad would ask for a probe without seeing the ad says this is purely political.  Enough.  A little push back was in order and that’s what the party chairman should be doing. He’s right on with this.
