Tyberg's Position Changes: Now running a "sort of" clean campaign
After the Tyberg camp threw quite a fit about this blog and others being too negative about him, he went on 55 Feedback this morning and took some digs at Nick Reid.
We're going to focus on one quote from the show, Tyberg said, "I don't know about my opponent but I will have home in the district, not in DC."
For the record, Nick Reid owns a home in Rice Lake. We're pretty sure Tyberg knows that, but we know he should know it if he's been paying attention at all.
It is our understanding, and we are open to a correction, that Tyberg lists his address as the same address of his parents. So, he does not own a home in the district, he lives with his parents. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
So, apparently Tyberg does not own a home in the district but will if he gets elected. Reid already owns a home in the district, but Tyberg's not sure if he will when he gets elected. Does this not make sense to anyone else?
While Tyberg did not mention Reid by name, we're pretty sure this is an example of the negative campaigning Jeff said he wouldn't do in a post on this very blog. His exact quote was, "It is my intent to run a clean campaign that will honor God and the people I wish to represent."
It will be hard for the Tyberg campaign to find a way around this promise because Tyberg himself posted it right here.
P.S. Here is more of Jeff's post in case you don't feel like clicking on it:
This is Jeff Tyberg, candidate for Congress in Wisconsin’s 7th District.
I want to state here publicly what I have made clear to my campaign volunteers and to Nick Reid personally, and that is that I and my campaign will not attack Nick Reid, and I will not condone anyone who does. My campaign volunteer coordinator is even now writing an email stating that his letter was unauthorized. It will not be repeated.

I'm sure the Tyberg supporters will say this isn't an "attack" and so therefore Tyberg kept his promise. Kind of like Tyberg didn't say he definitely would abide by an endorsement process, even though that's the impression he gave to everyone involved in those discussions last year.
Just like he wasn't going to hold any big money fundraisers, and then a week later held one.
I heard him on 55 today, and boy am I getting tired of this crap. Tyberg has a lot of nerve saying that he's going to have a house in the district, and doubts Nick will. Give me a break, Jeff doesn't have house in the district now! As far as I know he lives off of his parents.
Nick got a real job, and worked for the ability to own his house in Rice Lake.
It's coming to the stretch run and obviously, the team losing the game is going to start to throw the "hail Mary" to try to catch up. Politics always turns dirty leading up to the election. However, this tongue-in-cheek poke at Nick is nothing to get too worked up over.
Tyberg has given Nick an easy issue. Nick can hold a press conference at his home and talk about the fact that Dave Obey doesn't live in Wisconsin (or even want to). He can talk about all the reasons he enjoys living here and why he plans to spend his time here as much as possible; again, unlike Obey.
If the reporter asks about why Tyberg said what he said, Nick should just say, "he must have been talking about Obey too." End of subject. No worries.
We should spend less time worrying about calling penalties and go for more touchdowns. As they say on Garage Logic, "naaaaahhhnn factor!" That's 'non'factor to you non-Logicians.
