Learning to read might help.
A statewide elected Goper from MN sounds like a statewide elected GOPer from MA (cough, cough ***********Milt************ cough, cough).
Tim who?
Pawlenty’s only accomplishment thus far has been somehow getting the rumor started that he has potential to be a candidate. He doesn’t.
I don’t want either one to run.
LOL! I so agree. This guy has had a few years to make a name for himself, but he’s just another ‘also ran’ without any charisma or recognition. I couldn’t pick him out of a police line-up to save my life.
Why does he think he can run for President?
I’m voting for Thaddeus McCotter....whether he runs or not. :)
Pawlenty is a decent guy. Yeah, he’s a snoozer, but a snoozer can be a good thing.
It wouldn’t have hurt Bachman to wait a month or so. The election is two years away, for pete’s sake.
Nope, history of linen & weaving - and that includes doilies and tablecloths, as well as clothing, is quite fascinating; lots of accounts of lacemaking guilds of Europe are quite interesting.
. . .Pawlenty vetoed every tax hike sent to him -- $7.5 billion in total -- and set the veto record for a Minnesota governor in one year. He also eliminated the marriage tax penalty, created an Angel Investment Credit to help early-stage companies, and helped businesses expand markets, leading seven trade missions.
Minnesota's manufactured exports rose 39 percent since he took office.
Certainly there have been cuts. But critics would have you believe every dollar squeezed from state spending popped up as a tax increase somewhere else. Facts show otherwise.
While blaming St. Paul, local governments raised property taxes far beyond the level of state aid cuts. Yet some frugal cities found ways to increase efficiencies and avoid increases.
To aid austerity, Pawlenty also forced the DFL to accept a three-year property tax cap, saving taxpayers more than $530 million.
Pawlenty's record of reform and accomplishment extends well beyond taxes.
The 2010 film "Waiting for 'Superman'" brought national attention to education reform, but Pawlenty had been enacting it for years.
His 2005 QComp program was the first statewide teacher performance pay system in the nation. Minnesota's eighth-grade math scores now rank second, while high school seniors are first in ACT scores for six years running.
LOL, I suspect if one was a fly on the wall in Tim Whatever’s war room meetings, the comments about Michelle Bachmann heard are quite different from what are quoted in Politico for public consumption.
“Mustn’t irritate those wrascally Tea Partiers, no no, wouldn’t be prudent ... “
Good thing, too. If Timmy ends up getting the nod from the R(ino) Party, BO will take the 2012 election and give us four more years.
LOL!
