What has Ben Nesselhuf done for you?
If you're a student needing scholarships, you can thank Ben for voting to expand our scholarship programs.
If you're stuck doing labs in Churchill-Hanes or Akeley like I often am, you can thank Ben for helping secure almost $16 million dollars for new lab equipment.
If you're a medical student, you can thank Ben for helping secure $1.8 million dollars for the construction of the new Medical School.
If you're just a student who feels like we need to upgrade the campus, you can thank Ben for securing $4.7 million dollars for construction funding.
If you're a student who feels he or she pay too much for their education, you can thank Ben for voting repeatedly to cut tuition costs, especially to those special-status students like those who were members of the National Guard.
So really, the question here isn't really What has Ben Nesselhuf done for you?
The questions are "How much do you know about Ben Nesselhuf?" and "What will he continue to do if he is re-elected?" Because Ben Nesselhuf has done plenty for the students of USD, and I, for one, appreciate his work.
Great job copying and pasting from Nesselhuf's press release.

Heh, an interesting critique from a man whose blog is mainly a collection of "what someone else said".

Yes, but I freely admit that my blog is where I report news and views of others in the Republican/conservative/libertarian community and bring it to USD readers.
You copied and pasted a press release- without giving credit to the author.
Finally, attacking your opponent rather than the issue at hand isn't a valid argumentative technique.

According to your presidential candidates for the last 20 years, sure it is.
So here's another one - I find you morally reprehensible and intellectually bankrupt. A man whose only outstanding quality is how much he can use someone else's words to distort what he doesn't understand.
The fact that it came from Bill doesn't make it not true. Ben has done some fantastic stuff for the students at USD, whether your narrow, politically-obsessed mind wants to accept it or not.
