This is piddly stuff. It's not even worth lying about. But Pat Power lies about it.
The South Dakota Democratic Party tweets thus:
Do you support Marriage equality? Our keynote speakers at McGovern Day do too. Join us on April 20...
— SD Democratic Party (@SoDakDems) April 10, 2013
This statement is accurate. McGovern Day features keynote speaker Senator Heidi Heitkamp from North Dakota and guest speaker Senator Tim Johnson. Heitkamp announced her support for marriage equality last week. Johnson came out for marriage equality Monday.
But Powers, apparently lacking red meat, throws some soy filler to his baying hounds. He looks at the McGovern Day program, sees Matt Varilek listed as emcee, and runs this headline:
Dems say all their speakers support gay marriage. Except the one that doesn’t.
The Dems did not say that. But in Pat's world, a snappy headline is more important than the truth.
I will bet anyone that Matt Varilek has "evolved" on this issue already. The rate of evolution these days leads me to believe that Lora Hubbel better take to her bunker before it happens to her.
Typical
these are the same people that say Rounds is a liberal
Rounds is ideologically none of the above. He is first and foremost an insurance agent.
A politician being accused of lying or not keeping their promises is so common it is normal.
"Rounds is ideologically none of the above. He is first and foremost an insurance agent."
How dare you sir, some of the smartest people I know, no that's not it.
Some of my best friends are, no that wont work either.
The most honest person I know is an, I'm having trouble here.
Crockeder then a dogs hind leg. There that's what I was looking for.
The Blindman
Pat Powers has about as much credibility as Peter Pan.
New guy here. As a young, gay, liberal that moved from South Dakota to the South a few years ago, I'm behind on the politics in SD. I'll have to look up this Pat Powers.
Conservatives just don't get it. They don't get that our world and lives evolve. The younger generation (aka Gen Y'ers [me], and every future generation) don't put up with hate... Snooping in our bedrooms, suppressing women's rights, keeping church and state separate, etc.
Sorry for the rant.
