Posted on 05/20/13 at 02:01 pm in response to Peter Waldron, Bachmann whistleblower, describes a campaign and candidate in distress

Since most of those funadmentalist churches don't have much formal liturgy to begin with I suggest he meant that she was trying to get them to bring up their support for her campaign during their services similar to what she had Mac Hammond doing at his "God made me rich because he loves me" TV ministry.

Posted on 05/17/13 at 09:36 am in response to Why did GOP try repealing 'Obamacare' again?

Her ad announcing the end of "Obamacare" makes her look like a total idiot. Does she think no one will notice that it isn't repealed? I got the impression she was excited because it was the first time in her many years in congress that she actually got a bill through except for that dumb bridge bill that needed some sane people to help carry.

Posted on 05/17/13 at 06:45 am in response to Out of there ... tax on booze and 'high earner' surcharge

Let's see, in their time in power the Dems have given a stadium to the Vikings and an unwanted daycare union to the union people, but they couldn't give a better wage to poor people. I can't stand those tea party people but if the Republicans were running someone like Arne Carlson I'd be willing to vote Republican for the first time in years.

I don't disagree with much you say. My Arne comment was prefaced by the tea party thing. The Republican party "mainstream" is today over where the John Birch Society used to be (if you are familiar with them). I think (my opinion) that most of the vehemance against Obama is rooted not just in power politics but also racism. I think they are willing to destroy the union in order to "save" it (as they see "save"). But all that said, the only people who will stand up for the poor are the...

Posted on 05/15/13 at 10:30 am in response to Senate's 17-hour day-care union debate shows importance of the 'L' in DFL

This is an idea who's time has not come. $400-$700 x 11,000, a nice sum for the union, a nice sum to Dayton's reelection campaign. All the lobbying in the world isn't going to increase that subsidy enough to make up for those dues.

I believe the home daycare operators, my ex included, will rise up and refuse to vote for this. This is a time the democrats are supporting a big organization, the union, at the expense of the people.

Writing their ransom demands.

Posted on 05/14/13 at 11:04 am in response to Minneapolis Police Chief Harteau comments on Friday's 'traumatic events'

“Last Friday’s traumatic events serve as another reminder of how dangerous it truly is to be a police officer..."

Seems to me those events are a reminder of how dangerous it is to be around a police officer. There was no good reason for that traffic accident. Also the cops have distorted the record of the guy they shot making him sound like a career felon when he only had one conviction several years ago. So hidden from the public there was this event where the two cops got shot...

The cops still don't know if the light was green or not. Also, although the witnesses, including cars that were passed by the cop car, say the cop was going about 40-50 mph, the cops are saying the cop car was going "well below" the speed limit. The cops claim to have video evidence that the cop car was going below the speed limit but the same evidence can't tell what color the light was. Nice. So either the cop car was going very slow but in enough of a hurry to run a light or the...

Posted on 05/14/13 at 08:37 am in response to Same-sex marriage: And today it'll be law

is the Bible thumpers complaining that now their religion is going to be discriminated against and persecuted. Didn't this whole fight start with them trying to get their particular religious beliefs cast into law? There are a lot of people whose religion accepts gay marriage and freedom of choice. And I guess that "silent majority" was finally heard.

Posted on 05/14/13 at 08:30 am in response to Vikings unveil stadium design: What do you think?

Now if we can just nickel and dime those greedy orchestra musicians and we can get all those lazy poor people to die or move to Chicago, then we can finally have the kind of state we deserve. Let me guess: Govenor Dayton has a lifetime luxury box and the rest of us will have permanent seats at the Legion bar playing electronic pull tabs. Who says life ain't fair?
