Letter to the editor: Economic actions, errors led to Democrats losing power

Non-congratulations to the Republican Party on its Nov. 2 election victory. It was anything but deserved, given the level of recklessness they brought to Congress the last time they had the majority. Contrary to all the right-wing lies, Democrats didn’t lose because of some plot to convert America into a socialist state. It was exclusively about the economy, and they were not progressive enough in their approach.

Dems look to build their future in N.D. while GOP grows

Despite periods of power, Democrats historically have faced an uphill battle in conservative-dominated North Dakota, but this year, they risk losing the congressional stronghold they have. That’s leading the Democratic-NPL Party to look more actively toward recruiting fresh blood and preparing a younger generation of leadership. Republicans are enthusiastic this year at the prospect of cracking the state’s all-Democratic congressional delegation that’s been in place for nearly 20 years.

Will Democrats use immigration as weapon?

There’s every reason for Congress to pass comprehensive immigration reform this year. But if it proves politically impossible, Democrats ought to go for a “leaner” bill that can pass. Democrats will be sorely tempted to use failure to pass sweeping reform as a political weapon against Republicans, but they ought to do the right thing and fix as much of a broken system as they can.

Once more unto the breach?

Given the toxic nature of Washington and especially after the crushing defeat of Republicans by the congressional Democrat majority, why would anyone want to be part of this, especially one who has been there before? It is the first question I put to Dan Coats, a Republican from Indiana, who is running for his old Senate seat. Coats served four terms in the House and almost two in the Senate (he took Dan Quayle’s seat in 1989 when Quayle became vice president) before voluntarily retiring to a comfortable private life.

Letter to the editor: Washington-style attack ads aren’t welcome here in N.D.

We’ve all heard the saying, “North Dakota nice,” and it’s one that many North Dakotans accept with pride. Generally, we are courteous to one another and like to lend a helping hand. But then there are times when that saying gets dashed to the group, and that often happens around election time.
