For those of you who loved the first three Sand v. Pomeroy debates, you’ll be pleasantly surprised to know that a fourth lost debate exists. It’s an instant classic. I’m going to share the transcript with you right here.



This lost debate was held in Williston, so the Grand Forks Herald and Fargo Forum didn’t report on it. Pomeroy, who tries to avoid the western part of the state only agreed to the debate if it would be moderated by someone who would be nice to him like his friends at NBC were. I was hoping for Ed Shultz, but Earl doesn’t like him. Ed is to much of a straight shooter for Mr. Pomeroy. The moderator was finally picked to be an unbiased reporter from the San Francisco Chronicle. Nancy Pelosi was nice enough to make sure the Chronicle could be involved. She wants her good friend, Earl Pomeroy to be protected after all.



Well enough of my rambling, its debate time. Transcript follows:



Moderator (wearing Pomeroy buttons) walks on stage.



Drone #1: Welcome to the fourth Earl Pomeroy and Duane Sand debate. Unlike Ed Shultz, we will be going to commercial every single time Earl gets in trouble, we will be following NBC’s lead in letting Mr. Pomeroy take his time with his notes before he answers, and we will let Earl stammer and interrupt as much as he likes. Mr. Sand, we ask that you don’t give any concrete answers and you avoid talking about your service to the country, your family, your pro life record, and the fact that you actually grew up on North Dakota farms. That wouldn’t be fair to our beloved Congressman Earl Pomeroy. Gentlemen, do you agree?



Sand: I…



(Moderator cuts him off)



Pomeroy: Yer’ dogone right pardner! Hee Haw! I love those sugar beets! Oh and I agree because all of the millions of North Dakota citizens who have voted for me in the past want me to agree. Yeppers, I agree a mite fold.



Sand: Earl, North Dakota’s population is not in the millions.



Moderator: Mr. Sand, please! I thought we agreed to the terms. I’m sure Mr. Pomeroy meant the all time population of North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, Manitoba, Hawaii, and Belarus. Isn’t that right Congressman?



Pomeroy: Of course, of course. Typical of Mr. Sand and his highly paid and large campaign staff to try and distort my record.



Sand: I have about four paid staffers.



Pomeroy: There you go, the mudslinging again. Distorting my record. I mean just because I voted to surrender in Iraq, doesn’t mean I meant to do it. I’m a blue dog who has the support of Native Americans, Lutherans, farmers, the elderly, and a young couple from Jamestown who recently wed on a sugar beet farm and knew my dear mother. Did I tell you that she receives Social Security?



Sand: Earl, can we get to the questions?



Pomeroy: Yer’ dog gone right we can! To my friends in Grand Forks, I sure love that nickname and logo and to my friends in the Standing Rock Tribe, I can’t stand that stupid name and logo. We need to look at space travel in a smart and comprehensive way…(three hours later)...and so that is why myself, Nancy, and Barney have decided that your Social Security would be better off in our pockets than yours.



Moderator: Gentlemen, first question goes to…Mr. Po...errr...(Looks at Pomeroy who shakes head), Mr. Sand. Mr. Sand, even though you are 99.9% behind Mr. Pomeroy in Mr. Pomeroy’s latest poll which was conducted by the Acorn group and involved 20 people from the UND liberal arts department, what would you do to say…ahh...cure all disease in the western world?



Sand: Well that is a pretty big question, I think we need to isolate….



Moderator: Well, if you can’t answer with concrete facts, I’m going to Mr. Pomeroy.



Pomeroy: I’m here ol’ pardner. What’s the question?



Moderator: Well for you, let’s see…oh, if Harrison Ford is willing, do you think they should make another Indiana Jones movie?



Pomeroy: Well, that’s hard. My opponent doesn’t think so, but I do. Yep and I suggest we change the name to Dakota Jones. Yep, that’s it. My opponent, who is 107% points behind thinks we should sell burnt popcorn at all the movies, but not me. No sirreee, I’m not going to apologize for advocating for buttered and salted popcorn at the movies.



Moderator: Mr. Sand, how would you go about creating a new fuel that would allow the driver to travel the length of the United States on one tank?



Sand: I think the first thing to do is to start…



Moderator: Mr. Pomeroy?



Pomeroy: What’s the question again lil’ feller?



Moderator: Lil’ feller?



Pomeroy: Isn’t that how all the simpletons talk in Williston? I don’t know, I never come here. I didn’t even know we were in North Dakota until my aide sent me a message so I wouldn’t have another gaffe.
Moderator: I…uh…I think you meant that you would go to the floor of Congress and ask for 500 million dollars to build a monument and dedicate it to Williston, right?



Pomeroy: Uh…heh heh…yep. That’s it. Can we have a commercial now?



(During the commercial break, Earl yelled at someone standing behind camera #1 and then at a NBC staffer for giving him only one ice cube with his water)



Moderator: Welcome back to the Sand/Pomeroy debate. Mr. Pomeroy is a blue dog democrat and despite his flip flopping on the war, lack of accountability, and his big bailout vote, he is in the lead by 234% over Duane Sand and his highly paid 2000 man staff.



Pomeroy: Oh and don’t forget Mr. Sand being a friend of every radical group in history.



Moderator: Wow, you’re right. Mr. Sand, how do you explain knowing members of the Boy Scouts?



Sand: This is getting crazy. Can we talk about energy?



Pomeroy: Yer darn tootin’ we can! I’m for energy. Why, I turned on my bathroom light today and I have to say it was shiny! Earl Pomeroy might not help you get cheap gas and I might have wrecked your vacation plans last summer, but you can take it to the bank that this ol’ blue dog went on a nice vacation and tucked away a lot of my Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG money. Yep, it takes energy to do that.



Moderator: Rebuttal to Mr. Sand.



Sand: You’re kidding. Earl, you have voted against energy six times in the last two years. What do you have against clean coal, oil shale, and nuclear power?



Pomeroy: There’s the bullying and mud slinging again. Sand once dropped a football in a game. Did you know that Sand once ordered a cheeseburger but received a chicken sandwich? Yep, that’s a mud slinger. Duane Sand is a regular Rowno Rugean.



Moderator: You mean Ronald Reagan right?



Pomeroy: I just m Reply...

He's pulling a Hillary Clinton. I disagreed when she moved to New York for political gain. I disagree with Sand moving to North Dakota.. for political gain. He's an ultra conservative trapped in a moderates body.

Losing Pomeroy's tenure in the House this late in the game would be disasterous for ND. We're lucky to have who we do in Congress from ND. Sand would just be a step back for several years... no real progress for ND in the mean time. Reply...

Thanks for the insult. Very nice.
Duane pays his taxes to North Dakota, he owns property in North Dakota, and he lives in North Dakota. If I lived in North Dakota, but worked in Minnesota, would you take away my North Dakota card? Come on now...
Americans for Prosperity supports lower taxes. Ed Schafer supports them. So what? Pomeroy actually at one time or another, depending on the direction of the wind has supported things from them as well. Earl takes money from the radical left wing groups that support such luminaries as Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank. Radical anyone?
Duane grew up on North Dakota farms? Earl, he read about them in a book.
If Duane is sent to the east coast because of the Navy, does that mean he can't come back to North Dakota? This is what Earl was insinuating yesterday. I take offense to that. I'm a veteran and if they called me back and sent me to Florida, does that mean I'm no longer a part of North Dakota?
Pro abortion candidate Earl Pomeroy needs to go. He's a bailout boy and he stuck the tax payer yet once again. Let's vote Ol' Earl right out of office and give North Dakota a real change. Oh and by the way, where does it say the Democrats own the word "change"? Give me a break. Both sides have been using that for years. North Dakota deserves and needs a change.

Falcon - You have NO idea what you are writing about. Duane and his family (wife and two kids) live in a single-family residence - a house - in Bismarck. Duane is not renting, he bought that house over two years ago, when he and his family returned to North Dakota.

I have personally visited with Duane and his family in this house. You are so full of fecal matter, I'm surprised you can actually type such an incoherent message. I debated responding, but I could not leave such your statement to remain unchallenged. Reply...

I wonder if everyone knows that Sand is the furthest thing from a North Dakota resident. He has a Bismarck apartment and his family actually lives on the east coast. He doesn't give a rats ass about North Dakota. He is a talking piece for "Americans for Prosperity"... a ultra conservative group likend to the maniacs at PNAC. He/they just want to make ND a "front" for their ideals...

And, apparently, he's dooped a good number of you! Reply...

LOL, Now republicans are starting to use the word "Change". They steal anything and everything from people. They can't even come up with something original by themselves. I guess thats why they lie all the time though.

Duane Sand destroyed Pomeroy in their debate tonight. Earl's temper was getting the best of him and he flat out lied about the abortion and oil issue.
opensecrets.org will reveal his lobbyist ties as well.
A big victory for Duane Sand tonight.
The time is now to hand Nancy Pelosi and Barney Frank's best buddy Earl Pomeroy his pink slip.
Elect Duane Sand. We need change in Washington asap! Reply...

Hey all, I'm going to treat this like ESPN did when Cal Ripken hit a dong in the game he broke Lou Gherig's record. I'm going to keep my piehole shut and let you soak this one in:

Just days before the $805 billion Wall Street bailout vote on October
3, Pomeroy received no less than $16,000 of dollars from the Political
Action Committees of banks, investment companies and other
corporations that received bailout money, including:

$2,500 from the American Bankers Association on September 19 (for
atotal of $10,000)
$2,500 from American Express on September 18 (for a total of$6,500)
$1,500 from Ameriprise on September 19 (total $3,500)
$1,500 from General Electric on September 18 (total $10,000)
$1,000 from Thrivent on September 24 (total $9,500)
$1,000 from U.S. Bank on September 24 (total $1,000)
$3,000 from UBS on September 30 (total $6,500) THIS IS THE VERY
WEEK OF THE BAILOUT, AFTER POMEROY HAD ALREADY VOTED ONCE TO BAILOUT
WALL STREET BANKS AND BEFORE HE CAST THE SECOND 'YES' VOTE
$3,000 from Wells Fargo on September 18 (total $8,000)


A few other Pomeroy donations during the third quarter include:

$2,500 from the American Bankers Association on August 25 (for atotal
of $10,000)
$2,000 from Aegon on September 8 (for a total of $5,000)
$1,000 from American Express on July 28 (total $6,500)
$1,000 from Bank of America on August 8 (total $3,000)
$1,000 from Genworth Financial on July 28 (total $8,000)
$1,000 from Goldman Sachs on July 15 (total $3,000)
$1,000 from The Hartford on August 21 (total $6,000)

THIS LIST ONLY INCLUDES MONEY RECEIVED DIRECTLY FROM POLITICAL ACTION
COMMITTEES. IT DOESN'T INCLUDE MONEY FROM BANK PRESIDENTS, VICE
PRESIDENTS OR LOBBYISTS, OF WHICH THERE ARE THOUSANDS MORE.


Earl Pomeroy is greedy. Pomeroy's money train is out of control. While we suffer, he profits. When we are trying to figure out a way to buy Christmas presents, pay the bills, and donate to charity, Pomeroy will be riding high on that big pile of money. It's disgusting. Earl Pomeroy needs to go.

Duane Sand is the only true pro farming, pro military, pro life, anti tax candidate in the hunt. Reply...

I would rather vote for Pomeroy than a some one who would back McCAIN and G.W. Bush's past 8 years . McCAIN is ANTI -FARMING / RANCHING programs , anti alternative fuels , anti tax credits for energy , anti CRP payments to land owners to name a few and Sand would be there side by side with McCain & Palin . Listen to their radio ads .

Sand is a good man. I have spoken with him three times. Honest, straight talker, and he's real people. Not some Washington bookworm who takes the cash and calls his consitutents names.

Sand is decent and he has my vote. Reply...

Good for you Chip56. Pomeroy redefines crooked. If you ever have a chance, check out where he gets his donations from...
Insurance companies (but he's usually complaining about the high cost of health care) for example. Lots of donations coming in from California. Maybe that's why he's so loyal to Pelosi. He took money from Fannie and Freddie but its everyone else's fault. Real class Earl.

I'm praying for Duane Sand. This state can't handle anymore of Pomeroy. Reply...

Corey,   why are you so hostile against me?   I didn't find out your real name, what are talking about... actually except for blogs or my email, I am a computer illiterate...   


I am innocent.   I have always enjoyed our talks.. I don't know what you are talking about.


True, I will not go onto your facebook or myspace page, same as I do not read your websites.  Not after you put the stupid lego website on the  family and religion section of these posts.   That was not smart.  BESIDES, MY BUTT ISN'T BIG ENOUGH..


Corey, sounds like a nice name for a nice fella... much better than boner.


so, you know all my 4 names... fine,  they are all fake anyway.... unless you are a hacker, you may not find out my real name.


I don't need you looking me up anyway,  I haven't done anything to you.... these are talk forums, and all we do it talk....


lets talk corey.
