Earl Pomeroy: “Blue Dog” Democrat? No, “Lap Dog” fits better

Late last week I posted about my appeal to Congressman Pomeroy to vote against the House health takeover bill, which will bring the national recession home to North Dakota. He caved to pressure from his national party and voted for it anyway, regardless of its effect on North Dakotans.

First, Earl decided he needed the accolades of Washington insiders, which he achieved by announcing support for this monstrosity of a bill.

Also, Earl appeared at a press conference to apologize to Nancy Pelosi, whom he really serves when the rubber meats the road. That will insure the backing of the national Democrat (not Democratic) party in his re-election bid. North Dakotans got sold down the river.

Saturday night, in clear violation of promises by President Obama and Speaker Pelosi that final legislation would be placed online for 72 hours for public review, Earl Pomeroy voted to cut Medicare by $400 billion and start taxing North Dakotans and North Dakota small businesses into compliance with socialized health care.

This is a pattern with Rep. Pomeroy, who represents the Democrat Party more than he represents North Dakota. Perhaps any ND suffix after his name should just be retasked to stand for National Democrats.

The first particular instance that really angered me was when I stood beside fellow Patriot Guard Riders at the funeral of a fallen soldier. On June 17th, 2009, Earl Pomeroy made sure to attend the funeral of a fallen North Dakota soldier and play the part of a supportive member of government. There’s only one problem: less than 24 hours earlier he had voted with fellow Democrats against a resolution voicing support for the soldiers and pledging victory in the Global War on Terror! He couldn’t split from national Democrats even to support the soldiers, but then the hypocrite comes back to North Dakota to act like it never happened.

While in North Dakota, he’s one Earl Pomeroy…after the jet ride back to Washington, DC, he’s an entirely different Earl Pomeroy altogether. Don’t take my word for it; click on each of the links indicated in blue in what I just wrote above. Connect the dots for yourself; that’s why I’m diligent in posting links supporting every point I make. The next time you have a chance to vote against this traitorous hypocrite on a ballot, please exercise your right to do so. Remember: a vote for Earl Pomeroy is a vote to rubber-stamp whatever the most extreme leftists in Congress want him to do.
