The letter of the day comes from the Black Hills Pioneer:
Dear Editor:I watched the Thune/Daschle debate on Meet the Press. I think it is very interesting that Daschle was almost in tears at the end of the debate! Who knew Tom was such a sensitive guy? Especially since Tom has been saying worse things about our president for four years, and I have never seen Bush on national television crying over Daschle's comments or have I heard an apology from Tom like he is demanding from Thune.
I just checked out Daschle's website that states "Thune crosses the line." Funny because it is the same line Tom has crossed multitudes of times in the past. Now the Senate Democrats have joined the martyr brigade!
John Thune was accurately expressing the sentiments of many people in our country and I commend him for standing up to a senator who must think he is above reproach!
It's time for a change ... vote for John Thune.Betsy Brown
