Posted on 02/15/13 at 06:02 pm in response to GOP leaders rule out reprisals against caucus members who vote for gay marriage

It was Broadkorp who used to intimidate and bully the errant Republicans. The same ones he is suing.

Posted on 02/15/13 at 06:10 pm in response to 'Budget Plan C'? Legislators already working on alternatives to Dayton's proposals

For the CC, that means the poor will pay for their tax breaks, and schools, and disabled, and so on. Predictable.

Posted on 01/17/13 at 11:21 am in response to NRA video: Obama thinks his kids deserve protection, not yours

Is that the right continues to darkly hint at conspiracies to kill President Obama then attack him for the necessary secret service protection. Not to mention how cowardly it is to involve children.

Posted on 01/15/13 at 09:29 pm in response to DFL, GOP squabble over committee handling of agriculture issues

Grew up on a farm. The real fight is that the finial part of Ag was merged with PCA and big Ag does not like this. Nothing more or less.

Posted on 01/14/13 at 04:50 pm in response to Peterson lets fly: Obama, leaders don’t care about farm bill

The one committee comment flew at me too, very rare, although I have heard from friends in DC he is pretty influential on Ag.

Posted on 01/11/13 at 09:06 pm in response to U of M President Kaler pledges quick response to Legislature, outlines budget request

WSJ has a well known ideological bent and the U kicked a prominent Republican public freeloader, (servant), off their board. Could there be a connection,since Mr. Swiggum was so upset, between the U's action with him and the papers conclusions?
Would not be surprised, since the documentation in the article seemed so scant. And this administrative bloat was Mr. Sviggum's personal crusade during his time as a regent.

Posted on 01/11/13 at 10:03 am in response to And now ... a $35M tax subsidy for the Strib's stadium land?

Enjoyed more staffing than Democrats when in power and then spent most of THIS years budget last year on salaries, etc. (I have heard the number of 96% already spent from this years budget). If there are cuts, the state is just doing what any family sitting around the kitchen table would do, living within their means.

Posted on 01/09/13 at 08:53 pm in response to Steve Sviggum among the many departed GOP Senate staff

Last year's Republican Senate has already spent 96% of THIS YEARS Senate budget, so it looks like Sviggum again has maximized his freeloading on the taxpayers by staying on as long as he did, doing very little. Typical Republican, all talk and no real principles.

Posted on 01/08/13 at 12:29 pm in response to Return of the neocons: This time, they’re attacking Hagel

Is they love their abstract ideology about how the world should be rather than what it is.
