Pawlenty hit Obama on the porkulus bill, ever-rising unemployment, broken promises of bipartisanship, and the enormous federal deficit. "We've got a Democrat-controlled Congress messing around with a miserable healthcare bill. They should be focused like a laser on jobs, not acting like a manure spreader in a wind storm," Pawlenty said to laughter and applause.

I like this guy. I really do.

Squishy rino Pawlenty, we already have that category filled.

No thanks!

Pawlenty Raises "Moderate" Flag at RGA (We've got another McCainiac RINO in our midst)

Pawlenty, by contrast, rejected the “return to our conservative roots” theme of others at this conference and said,“GOP principles must be harmonized with outreach to the new demographics of America,” “the GOP is fifteen years behind in the use of technology and the Internet,” “the GOP needs more than a political comb-over,” and “voters don’t want our Party led by a crank.” Unsure of to whom Pawlenty was referring in that last comment, there were some gasps from the crowd.

I agree with Pawlenty.

My Problem:

[FORGET ABOUT THE PAST. LET’S JUST TALK ABOUT THE PRESENT.] AT PRESENT, T-PAW’S MANAGEMENT IS THE SAME AS OBAMA’S POLICIES. CONTROLLED SPENDING. TAX HERE, TAX THERE. RENEWABLE MANDATE HERE AND THERE... HE’S ALSO IMPLEMENTING HIS OWN STYLE OF ROMNEYCARE IN MN.]

Crime rates in MN are at all time high these days. Street people have substantially increased in number during T-Paw’s watch.

I suggest that Pawlenty clean his own house first.
