Even In Blue Minnesota, the Left Fizzles
Powerline ^ | August 14, 2014 | John Hinderaker

I was curious to see how substantial a demonstration MoveOn could turn out against the hated (on the Left) John Boehner (“We need a big crowd downtown!”). I also wondered how the demonstrators would transport a recliner to the Minneapolis Club, and whether they would be able to get close enough to Boehner to “present” the recliner to him.

I don’t know where the polls are...I thought I’d read part of an article recently that indicated he wasn’t all that sound in his reelection.

All I am certain of is that MN deserves everything they get if they reelect this clown again.

I don’t take these as gospel, but they aren’t very optimistic.

The Dems flat out fraudelently stole that election for Franken mostly through a few election districts in North Minneapolis in the recount.

Are there any dem 'supporters' who aren't being paid? And paid damn little at that...

It’s hard to be head-banging liberal and “Minnesota Nice” at the same time. LOL!
