Earl Pomeroy: Part Time Patriot

It seems that, aside from a chance encounter in a Grand Forks Starbucks one chilly morning, the only time I ever see Earl Pomeroy is when there’s some sort of photo op or grandstanding opportunity.  That’s the nature of politics I suppose, since our congressmen are busy.........well, I’m sure they’re busy doing SOMETHING.

Here we see Earl the Pearl walking the Mandan July 4th Parade.  With his experience at moving BS, he should actually be working behind some of the horses!  Yet he had the guts to walk in the same parade as our brave National Guard and Army Reserve soldiers...this after voting against American soldiers on a resolution that could have boosted their morale.  Yet he pretends that never happened when he comes back to North Dakota.


Once again I caught a glimpse of good old Earl at the festivities at the State Capitol.  While they played the Armed Forces Salute, Earl took the opportunity to clap and glance around at the folks behind him (he was in the first row).  Mr. Pomeroy, you had a chance to show North Dakotans how you feel about the proud men and women who serve this country.  You failed miserably.

The PDF of the resolution he voted against, HR 861, can be found by clicking here. All the resolution did was give our troops a little morale boost by declaring that we WILL be victorious.  That was too much for a dedicated liberal Democrat like Earl Pomeroy, yet he still wants to play like he’s a good patriot when he comes back home for the PR opportunities.  That’s the perfect picture of hypocrisy.

The people of North Dakota should bounce this hypocrite out of office at the nearest opportunity.

This is so typical of North Dakota’s Democrat congressional delegation.  Play the part of the liberal in DC, and then come back and pretend like you’re a North Dakotan and wave the flag around for the rubes a bit.

Troops would have fallen into conniption fits of joy had the resolution passed. Undermining order and discipline.

........H. RES. 861..............
Declaring that the United States will prevail in the Global War on Terror, the struggle to protect freedom
from the terrorist adversary.

Better than beer , better than a one on one with the chaplain.
Perhaps a laminated summary to carry with their General Orders.

At least Little Lord Pomeroy didn’t fall off his horsey like he did last year.
