Dodge City, Iowa (CNN) – On Thursday, Republican presidential candidate Tim Pawlenty put a fresh twist on his recent tactic of calling out his GOP opponents — in this case lumping Mitt Romney and Michele Bachmann together in a single slam.

[......]

“We got one leading candidate in this race who’s running away from his record. We got another leading candidate in this race who has no record. I’m running on my record. That’s a big difference,” Pawlenty said.

He continued: “Well I think when you want to think about making somebody president you want to know some things. You want to know what have they done, not just by flapping their jaw or giving speeches or offering failed amendments in Congress. What have they really done? What results have they achieved?”

Why is this lick-spittle running for president? Or is it my mistake--highschool student council president.

Thanks Bigtigermike.
"We got one leading candidate in this race who's running away from his record. We got another leading candidate in this race who has no record. I'm running on my record. That's a big difference," Pawlenty said.
I just had a Basketball Jones flashback...

Nobody is listening to TPaw. He needs to get out of the race and save some money.

He is right about Mittens, but it’s a little early to smash Reagan’s 11th Commandment. I never heard of this guy until he announced. It’s time spend more time with his family.

Socialist politicos are most afraid of a candidate who has a conservative, pro-American voting record.

Pawlenty is using the same tactic against Bachmann that was used against my congressman in his second campaign.

Claiming he didn’t do anything while ignoring the fact that his first term in office was as a freshman congressman in Nancy Pelosi’s house. Pelosi owned the freshmen and severely limited their abilities while she was speaker. The GOP thought they were going to do the same when they won the house but we tea partiers raised hell over it.

Pawlenty doesn’t inspire anyway. If he has to resort to down n dirty he’s toast already on speed dial.

O.k., I give. What’s wrong with Pawlenty? I’m not defending him — especially not the jackass comments he made in this article — but I don’t know enough about him. Is there some reason (other than these statements) for me to cross him of my list of candidates I could vote for?

He spoke the truth. Romney runs from his record and Bachmann has no record.

Bachmann says plenty of good things but she has no plan and has no clue how she is going to get anything done because all she knows is being an attorney for the IRS and voting in Congress and I might add , 5 years in the house and she has no legislation to show.
