Another one who thinks he’s going to be president.
Guess what? We don’t need weasels like Pawlenty. He can take a hike, especially after presiding over a completely corrupt (Acorn) senatorial election in his state....afterall he is the supposed governor.
Pawlenty can forget about the presidency.
He came in second to last in the CPAC straw poll. Not surprising with a message like that.
He does have a good record on taxes in MN. He has raised fees but the income tax has stayed constant despite furious pressure from the democrats to raise it.
Yet another steel-spined republican hoping to avoid the wrath of the MSM by denouncing Reagan and conservatism. Smart, Tim. Very smart.

Another ostensible “Conservative” bites the dust.
Still, he is merely echoing Newt Gingrich who said the same thing a few months back.
It’s voices such as Gingrich, Pawlenty, Brownback, and a host of others within the Republican Party that are “stuck in the 1990’s.” They want their perks back — largely minus their principles.
Conservatives take an opposite philosophical position. Tim, Newt, Sam, make your choice....
This moderate clap trap is the flavor of the day, and deadly to the Republican Party. Pawlenty and all the other PC polluted, establishment types have a short time to realize that the Republican Party will win when social conservatives lead it, and set the agenda. When social conservatives are pushed to the back by the Washington elites, the Republican Party loses. I give you the epitome of Rockefeller Republicanism, John McCain. We lost in 2006 because moderates tried to reach out with amnesty, and we lost in 2008, because we ran someone who made a career of reaching across the aisle to the wrong people. Conservatives need the Republican Party as a tool to win in 2010 and 2012, and the dimwitted elites better get in the game, or suffer the consequences. That’s not a threat, just a prediction based on past experience.
I know someone has had to say this already: I’ve heard Pawlenty out of Pawlenty.
What a jerk Pawlenty has turned out ot be.
Toss him on the same pile as McNutjob.
The wannabes at “Rebuild the Party” had a “Party with Pawlenty” event at CPAC last week.
For starters, the RtP guy is the biggest kiss-butt n Republican politics and Pawlenty stood in the corner with a revolving one guy jawing him all night. There was no enthusiasm and no long line of people looking for photo ops. Pawlenty was a snore and their party was a bomb.
