Posted on 08/02/10 at 07:32 am in response to What Tom Emmer learned from his DWIs

Apparently Emmer learned that even with two drunk driving convictions, you can still work to reduce the penalty for drunk driving.

Posted on 07/28/10 at 12:20 pm in response to Gays, critics shoot at Target

Time to beat the Tom Emmer / Target Corporation / Tea Party / Michelle Bachmann extreme right-wing wingnut campaign. The best way to do this is to not shop at Target stores. Target will keep claiming their ultra right wing politics is not affecting their sales, but I think there are enough of us out there who care about the United States to make a difference. Say no To Greg Steinhafel, his wife, and their vicious politics.

Now that Tom Emmer has secured all of the votes of all the waiters and waitresses of Minnesota, it is going to be a difficult race, because all these waiters and waitresses will be telling their customers what a great governor Tom Emmer will be.

Why do you even cover this Jim Bunning of Minnesota politics, Tim Pawlenty? What Tim Pawlenty is saying to everyone besides billionaires like William McGuire is the same thing Jim Bunning has been saying. Thank you Jim Bunning for making the Republican agenda painfully clear for all of us!

Thanks for acknowledging that the tax cuts of 2002 did not improve the economy but led to a worse economy. You provide several reasons for this, but I think all stemmed from the 'free-wheeling' of people who had a huge amount of additional money to spend so that all fiscal restraint was lost. Do you agree with me that the upper incomed people today spend less of a percentage of their money on taxes than the middle class?

The reason I say that the George W. Bush / Tim Pawlenty tax cuts have been a failure is that these Republicans promised that the tax cuts would lead to prosperity for everyone. Instead they have let to the opposite with hundreds of thousands out of work.
As far as your concern that taxes hit the middle class more than the rich, it is the tax cuts that brought down the standard of living of the middle class. We used to have a progressive system of taxation where the rich...

The problem for Tim Pawlenty is how do to sell the disastrous George W. Bush / Tim Pawlenty policirs that have been proven to be a failure to the American people? Pawlenty has shown his complete disdain for nearly everyone in Minnesota by drastically cutting the taxes of the super-rich, and all it has done is brought the entire Minnesota economy down. The people of the United States will need to decide whether or not to encourage failure.

You left out Jeb Bush. I think that Poppy Bush, seeing what a great job George W. did managing the economy, will make sure his other son Jeb will get a chance to finish the job George W. started.

Posted on 11/04/09 at 04:29 pm in response to Gov. Pawlenty on how far a Republican can stray

Of course, Tim Pawlenty is just a shill for corrupt ex-CEO of United Health, William McGuire, just like Michelle Bachmann. They both do McGuire's bidding to make sure the money all of us pay for health insurance doesn't actually go for our medical care. That is why Minnesota is pretty much a bottom feeder in the world of national politics.

Posted on 10/31/09 at 11:52 pm in response to Minnesota GOP candidates strongly reflect Gallup Poll's national findings of conservative strength

Minnesota has become the breeding ground for crazed right-wing politicians Michelle Bachmann and Tim Pawlenty. This is the result of Minnesota being the home of the corrupt health insurer United Health and their ex-ceo, William McGuire, who has taken away billions of the dollars all of us intended for our own medical care for his own personal use, which is to support these vicious, right-wingf candidates who do his bidding.
