It should come as no surprise that the leading DFL candidates running for the U.S. Senate next year here in Minnesota are of a universal mind when it comes to health care. They do phrase things a bit differently. The Strib reports that they are varying on the issue, but ...

This was in the Opinion pages of the Star Tribune the other day. It's by a left-wingnut complaining about the lack of participation at a recent rally to support terrorism (they call them "peace" rallies). In it she writes:

Townhall meetup was sparely attended, probably due to the close proximately to the long weekend and people still off doing summer things. Even with only some ten people there, we had some good discussions on current events.

Al Frank-N-Furter and his Campaign Committee
Gotta wonder where he stands on the issues.
Oh yeah, surrender Iraq to Muqtada al-Sadr and his sectarian thugs.
Socialized Health Care which will further degrade our health care system.
Inflation and increased unemployment via higher minimum wage laws.
And accountability means keeping corrupt politicians like William Jefferson, and ...

It comes as no surprise to me that once again the Red Star Tribune is publishing an opinion piece pushing for a tax increase. This time it is blaming Republicans and conservatives for not wanting to increase taxes to pay for roads and infrastructure. That's what we already pay taxes ...

Al Franken is sharpening his anti-war credentials with an open letter to Senator Norm Coleman published in the Star Tribune on Tuesday:
"Since this war began, you have voted to support the president's policy of endless war and demonized those who stood up in opposition. Meanwhile, 3,600 of our men and ...

The Frater's gang have posted Al Franken's first quarter 2007 campaign finance report. These reports to the FEC are public information and contain a great deal of information about who is backing a candidate, in this case, Franken.
Many of those contributing big bucks to the Frank-N-Furter for U.S. Senate ...

The DFL controlled Legislature here in Minnesota voted to increase the gas and other taxes, costing Minnesotans upwards of $500 per year (guesstimated, which means it will be more). Pawlenty has promised a veto, so it looks like it is time to contact your representatives and let them know they ...

Once upon a time, the United States amended its Constitution so as to allow Congress to implement an income tax. This bill of goods was sold with the understanding that such income taxes would only be applied to the rich. It only took a few years for Congress ...

Al Franken has been stomping around rural Minnesota (haven’t seen him in my township, though) campaigning for the U.S. Senate in 2008. In the report on the Independent, he is said to be learning about alfalfa. He admits that there is a lot for him to learn.
He compares ...

Looks like I'll be sticking around on the Sciota Township Board of Supervisors. It was a tight election with the stealth write-in campaign going on. One of the things that bugs me about the other candidates is that they were A) not at the annual township meeting last ...

Keith Ellison, Freshman Moonbat, er, Congressman, from Minnesota has a very weird way of reaching out and meeting his colleagues in Congress. From The Hill:
Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.) believes it is his right as a Muslim to be sworn into Congress with the Quran. But apparently, the freshman lawmaker ...
