Minnesota's transportation infrastructure is failing, yet Target's agenda is for more tax cuts.

Target donates $150,000 to anti-gay Tea Party candidates for "economic" reasons, which they further clarify as low taxes.

This is simplistic and foolish, because our roads truly are getting worse, and the decline will continue unless a lot more money is invested. How can a retail giant not recognize their need for an efficient transportation network?

Here is a presentation from the Minnesota DOT that outlines the dismal condition of our roads and their even more dismal future:

1. Phewlenty screwed up everything he touched.

He did to MN what Bush did to the country. Now any DFL'er that gets in will be held responsible for cleaning up the mess. Just like the common republicans in congress are trying to blame Democrats for the s__t Bush left the country.

IF WE ONLY HAD A BRAIN WE WOULD DO SOMETHING TO BREAK UP THE REPUBLICAN MONOPOLY ON THE MEDIA.
