If so, please put a halt to all this corrupt chicanery and phoney baloney. It is nauseating.

...and so whether the Republican ideologies or the corresponding economic interests are the prime movers here is at times difficult to tell.

For my money, I see the ideologies as window-dressing. If you watch these Republican ideologues over time, they are not consistent in their ideology, but always come down on the right side of the economic interests of their clients.

There are too many examples to give here, but one that I find particularly entertaining right now is the...

Posted on 03/30/12 at 05:21 pm in response to Maybe GOP and DFL legislators can agree on ‘Mom’s Amendment’

So the foundation of the latest Republican giveaway to those who least need it is that "...testimony of business owners at Senate committees indicates it would spur economic growth" ??

So those altruistic job creators are at it again, testifying on how wonderful it will be for everyone else if only they could be allowed to pay less than their fair share of taxes..

Give me $200 million. I'll create some jobs with it. Yah, sure.

What's the question?

Posted on 03/28/12 at 03:38 pm in response to Council Member Meg Tuthill’s stadium support hinged on Minneapolis property tax relief and jobs

The logic of this City Council member is astonishing. Is her thinking really so shallow, or does she hold the people of Minneapolis (and in her ward) in utter contempt?

Promise Keepers? Class A? Jobs? The city charter "neither here nor there" ? Puullllleeeezzzz, give us a little credit.

"We live in a government that is not a total democracy. We are a representative government, and my job right now is to make those tough decisions." What we have now, at the local, state,...

Just trying to help you out with the math here.

Imagine what the real estate taxes are on this one of his homes. No wonder he needs a handout.

Posted on 03/26/12 at 10:46 am in response to Minneapolis council members: Stadium plan is an 'end run' around voters

The sooner you leave and the less time you spend in St. Paul, the less harm you can do to Minnesota.

Posted on 03/22/12 at 10:37 am in response to Michael Brodkorb 'faces uphill battle'

...illustrates the complete absence of any credibility in this dinosaur.

No wonder most Minnesotans ignore them.

City Council Members: there is no legitimate public interest in the corrupt chicanery of this outfit.

Naaaahhh, never mind. This kind of convoluted, duplicitous double-talk isn't worth parsing to see if there is a thimbleful of common sense in it.

Why is he so determined the people will not make their own decision by referendum? Take a wild guess.

The bottom line is local politics have been corrupted and co-opted to benefit a single rich man and a small number of corporate interests at the expense of the public.
