Is Pawlenty Already Backing Off MN Gas Tax Promise To Address Transportation Needs?

...this week, he says the Dems in MN aren't on the same page with him.

Yes, why is he still governor is just the right question to ask.

in our neck of Minnesota it is PHEW-LENTY. Don't you think that fits him better. And the democratic candidate was beating him til the republicans poured in millions and started a swiftboat campaign. The fact is Minneapolis seems to be the most republican part of the state and goodness knows what goes on there. They elected Bachman for their representative over a darn good candidate. All she had going for her was the endorsement of a mega church and the so called pastor is a crook and is under investigation. He bought a boat, a house a car by the church and then leased them back to himself at 1/10 of what it would be worth. He opened preached to the flock to vote for Bachman and sent out flyers.

:blush:

....but I will gladly amend the spelling hence forth and with alacrity. PHEW-LENTY Got it. :D

I bow to your knowledge and the "feel" for the slime of MN, as I am here in TN. Blue dogs predominate where Dems reign in this neck of the woods. And then there's Lamar and his plaid shirts. And this new guy who was a businessman of dubious morals and steered deals to his pals and himself while mayor of Chattanooga. Cream of the crop.

But I have followed Bachman. She's a circus all by herself. Skulking around hedges and claiming she was accosted by a lesbian in a women's bathroom. And of course the now-famous throat examination she gave Dubya on the floor of Congress for all the world to see, and puke.



And you're right, the IRS should have been all over the minister. I saw the vids. A priest in Boston around the same time was just as blatant when he handed out petition cards on the church steps after having preached a sermon against gay marriage beforehand.

So, now we've got a former director of the Southern Baptist Convention, http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-drake16aug16,1,2990460.story?ctrack=5&cset=true">Wiley Drake, who is sending out letters on church letterhead supporting Repuke Mike Huckabee for president. He's called for his followers on his radio program, to pray for the deaths of the 2 people who filed a complaint against him with the IRS, and who they are now investigating.

He said, "The Bible says that if anybody attacks God's people, David said this is what will happen to them. . . . Children will become orphans and wives will become widows."

Don't you feel the love and compassionate conservatism just oozing everywhere?




on edit: spelling

Bachman was elected in a district that is largely exurban. It includes many miles of Hwy 10, dotted with, "An embryo is a BABY" billboards (usually a baby wearing a cute sailor hat).

Most of us in the immediate Twin Cities metro area recoil at the memtion of her name.

:hi:
