KENT CONRAD
Moment of truth, betrayal 
On the very same day this week when the Congressional Budget Office warned that the succession of previously unimaginable trillion-dollar-and-more budget deficits could inflict ruin on the United States, the Senate faced a moment of truth.

Forum editorial: Fifty-three votes not enough this time
The failure of the U.S. Senate to back a special commission suggests the will to tackle the nation’s budget deficit has been derailed by special interests on the left and right.

Conrad continues the blame game
I write in response to Sen. Kent Conrad’s, D-N.D., Jan. 17 column in The Forum.

Senator needs economics lesson
Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., demonstrates a lack of understanding of economics. He thinks that growing government and expanding bureaucracy can somehow economically benefit the U.S. or North Dakota.

To senators: Vote against health bill
To Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan:
I am appealing to you, for the sake of the future of our country and my children, please do not vote for this health care bill again.

Now let’s boot the other two
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., has decided not to run for re-election. Rumors are flying around the state that Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D., may not seek re-election.

N.D. delegation: Rural provision in health care bill a tough sell
FARGO, N.D. (AP) - North Dakota's congressional delegation says a provision in the health care reform bill that boosts Medicare reimbursement rates for some rural states is a tough sell.

‘Ding and Dong’ letter childish
The letter to the editor from Pat Grenyo (Dec. 11) referring to our two senators as “Ding” and “Dong” was childish and immature.

Time for a trade of ND senators
I would guess that North Dakota should probably try to negotiate a trade for Sen. Ben Nelson, D-Neb., and Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La.

Rockefeller just doesn’t get it
Sen. Jay Rockefeller’s, D-W.Va., comments (Forum, Dec. 10) regarding Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D., as it relates to Medicare reimbursement would be laughable if it wasn’t attached to such a meaningful and perhaps dire issue for North Dakota health care.

Watching to see how they vote
Thank you, Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan, for standing with five other Democrats in support of the Nelson amendment.

Critic of senator hasn’t got a clue
I am writing in response to Chris Vinton’s intentionally misleading letter, “Conrad no longer deserves his job,” which goes out of its way to distort the truth about our senator.

A path to power for government
It’s always been a great maxim: If you want to know the answer to something, follow the money. It seems Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., is getting hers from Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., by voting “yes” for the government takeover of health care.

Reform is closer than ever
If diligent members of Congress like Sen. Kent Conrad, Sen. Byron Dorgan and Rep. Earl Pomeroy, who know as well as anyone what is needed in health care reform for North Dakota, have their way, we can count on the people of North Dakota having even higher quality, more affordable and more accessible health care.

Ask Ding, Dong to honor values
It was just last year that Sen. Kent Conrad, D-N.D.,(Ding) was ranting and raving about the Bush administration and the out-of-control spending that led to a historic record federal budget deficit of $400 billion.
