Posted on 11/07/12 at 10:20 am in response to Marriage, voting amendments defeated; DFL retakes Minnesota Senate, House

What can you say? Hate lost.

As far as the archbishop, I would like to see the newly-minted DFL legislature draft some laws that crack down harshly on tax-exempt organizations that engage in politics.

Posted on 10/10/12 at 12:31 pm in response to Will constitutional amendments be key in deciding close legislative elections?

Disgusting or not, I've got a good mind to seek out those exact Edina neighborhoods with my wife and daughter and campaign for Vote No. I think it would be interesting, if not hilarious, to knock on doors WITH the Vote Yes regressives and battle it out on someone's doorstep.

I'm white, male, suburban, married with a child -- the perfect demographic for the Vote Yes regressives. And yet I'll vote NO. It would blow their minds.

Posted on 10/03/12 at 01:04 pm in response to Vikings' Kluwe flashes opinion -- and chest -- in gay magazine

And then Matt Birk goes and reinforces that stereotype.

Posted on 09/28/12 at 12:32 pm in response to Smoking in films — especially kids movies — on the rise

Has it increased on TV? I watched the pilot for Mad Men. It's set in the early-60s, when smoking was obviously more common. But there was just wanton smoking in the episode. I wasn't alive back then, but I have to believe that people did more than just chain smoke all day. The whole episode was like a 45-minute cigarette commercial.

The tobacoo companies have always found creative ways to subvert new advertising restrictions that come along.

Posted on 09/24/12 at 12:44 pm in response to Romney adviser Vin Weber worries about GOP turnout in Minnesota races

"The problem isn’t lack of specificity. He has a lot."

False. Completely, utterly, unequivocally false. Romney still has not said which tax deductions he would eliminate. The mortgage interest deduction is huge for middle class families. My family would lose over $8000 if this were eliminated. What other dedications would he kill? State tax deduction? Student loan interest deduction? How high will my own taxes be raised under Romney? Why won't he say?

I would not trust...

Posted on 09/17/12 at 11:18 am in response to What Obama, Romney preexisting condition plans mean for Minnesotans

Personal responsibility. Also, freedom.

Don't ask for specifics. Mitt Romney, more than anyone else, will refuse to provide them. He told Jay Leno back in March that you should get to keep your insurance if you'd been "previously insured." Leno didn't press him too much, unfortunately. Who knows what Romney's position is today?

Posted on 08/28/12 at 01:28 pm in response to GOP's Supreme Court victories come with stinging dissents

When Soros unloads cash, it's evil, it's unconstitutional, it kills puppies, it's plain wrong in every conceivable way, and probably in many ways that are inconceivable. In short, George Soros hates freedom.

When the Sheldon Adelson or the Koch Brothers do it, it's simply patriotic, freedom-loving, and pro-America.

Posted on 08/24/12 at 12:23 pm in response to Rasmussen Poll in Mo. Senate race: McCaskill 48; Akin 38

Claire McCaskill herself finds the Missouri poll extremely dubious. Rasmussen is a horrible, partisan pollster. Everyone knows it.

Posted on 08/22/12 at 11:17 am in response to Minnesota State football coach arrested for alleged child porn

The MSM has gone out of their way to ignore the connection between Akin and Paul Ryan. This is despite the fact that their views on abortion are exactly the same.

Posted on 08/16/12 at 02:16 pm in response to Peter Hutchinson on meager plurality winners: Ranked Choice Voting

The GOP hates RCV, which is ironic, because Tom Horner probably allowed Mark Dayton to win.

On the other hand, George W Bush would have never been president, and we never would have gotten eight years of Timmy.
