CHICAGO – Minnesota GOP Gov. Tim Pawlenty took an aggressive line against President Barack Obama’s proposed health care overhaul Friday and insisted that a rejection of the Democratic plan could usher in a Republican resurgence. “It appears that President Obama is making great progress on climate change, he is changing the political climate in the country back to Republican,” Pawlenty said during a speech to the second annual GOPAC conference in Chicago. “He went around the country last fall promising ‘change we can believe in,’ but now we see it’s about changing what we believe in,” said Pawlenty, an anticipated 2012 Republican presidential contender. “We need to be calling out the flaws and misguided decisions of the Democrats in Congress and the Obama administration.”

Taking a page from the Huckabee playbook and trying humor to appeal to electorate. Not sold.
Man crushes. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!
No? Ronald Reagan did the same thing, used humor to appease his enemies and make them like him.
Using Alinsky’s ridcule against them. They hate that. Huckabee was not this biting. They deserve ridicule and contempt.
“He went around the country last fall promising ‘change we can believe in,’ but now we see it’s about changing what we believe in,” said Pawlenty...
That’s pretty well said.
Yes but Reagan had something Pawlenty doesn’t have- appeal.
To be for parents and the right to believe in God is a socially conservative message?
If he keeps making good speeches like that he might just expand his appeal.
LOL
it’s the reason the libs ae desparate to disparage those Americans speaking up against the sham of govt healthcare.
the libs know they MUST win or will know defeat the rest of Zer0’s term.
I trust Sarah to stay true to conservatism much more than Pawlenty. Pawlenty will sound conservative until the general election, then it is compassionate conservative time.
Couple weeks ago, Huckabee said, “Obama sruggles with federal spending in the same matter I struggled with my weight.”
"Watta dumb***. You screwed up healthcare bigtime.
Now the Repubs are surging and have taken over public opinion.
How frickin' stupid can you get? Jeeze, Now I gotta trot out your
frickin' wife and kids in those ugly Gap clothes to try and make you
look good again."
The Obama health care plan IS BEING REJECTED (because it is socialism and unworkable) and Republicans will emerge on their own to correct the bungled nightmarish lack of leadership of the Dims.
If he writes his own material, he’s pretty darned good!
What does Huckabee have to do with it?
A comparison in using alleged humor to attack.
“Ronald Reagan did the same thing”
Reagan led, not followed! He did not wait to see which way the wind blows, before he weighed in on an issue. HE, like Palin, defined the issues.
Kind of late for the Good Gov to now be weighing in.
