“What ARE we Becoming?” This is evidence that they KNOW what they are doing wrong and are trying to pardon themselves for their crimes before it is too late.

Wow, and he was against raising property taxes before he was for it too.

The Red Shirts Are Coming… While GOP bloggers are ape slapping each other’s hairy chests regarding the GOP convention coming to MN, I’d like to point out…MN is more blue than red. Minnesota Politics sums it… "Carping about taxes or talking about the horrors of the gay are not what Minnesotans want to hear, which is why Republicans have not taken over yet, and won't if Republicans don't remember what they used to stand for. Since I don't see that happening anytime soon, the RNC shouldn't expect too many dividends from choosing the Twin Cities for its next convention." Bin Laden? Probably dead, again… Is it just me or is this beginning to take on a comic book reality? And why do we only ask were he is when it's election time? Who are these people that still support Dubya and why? This study answered some of my questions: In their 2003 study, "Political Conservatism as Motivated Social Cognition," researchers John Jost, Jack Glaser, Arie Kruglans...

Calling all CD2 activists and friends: Protest against Rep. John Kline's 'Torture Bill' tomorrow morning..Thursday (9/28) from 7-9 a.m. at John Kline's office.: 101 W. Burnsville Pkwy #20, Bring your own sign..be creative. Suggestions:“Kline Sponsored Torture Bill" “Tell XXX NO to Torture” “Call Rep. Kline: 952-808-1261". DJK has a summary on Kline's torture bill.

Continually the right wing tries to use the word “Independent” as a word to describe themselves. First we have Mark Kennedy , who is running away from Bush as fast as he can, and now we have one of Kennedy Staffers (Michael Brodkorb - aka MDE) running away from his connections with Kennedy. Don’t any of them want to stand up for each other? Mark Kennedy is scared of Bush and Michael Brodkorb is afraid of Mark Kennedy ( but is happy to take his money as long as he does not have to be called one of his staffers). I do understand their repulsion, it is well deserved, but really, they are supposed to be on the same team aren’t they? I am just waiting for Tim Pawlenty (another shrill republican who is slimy enough to try and slip away from Bush et all, even though he is a crony to Bush like Kennedy is) to diss both of these guys (again who are supposed to be on the same team) and call them weenies . The main lesson here, is for the “real” journalist who mine MDE for spin, they should ...

The GOP Convention is Coming ...cover your babies eyes, hide the chads, and start making signs now! Good News, my family and friends won't have far to go in bailing me out of jail, and I'll probably know most the cops! Plus I won't have to figure out how to get all those protest signs through airport security...all in all, I think I can handle this...barely.

A Lakeville dad has a story to tell… read it! See the chart! There's lots of bad ass criminal rethugs out there and Rep. John Kline seems to have taken money from or given money to them all! IMP has a cookie crumb from Rep. Lynn Wardlow (SD38) on Brodkorb… Right! Brodkorb isn’t involved…right! Maybe if Rep. Wardlow closes his eyes, click his ruby slippers together and says long enough: “I don’t know what Mike Brodkorb the chair in my senate district, and MDE blogger does ”…just maybe... flying monkeys will believe it! Either Wardlow is totally out of touch with reality or he lies...take your pick. ...in memory of Paul... Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

Skippy s ezs: One of these things just doesn't belong. Can you tell which thing is not like the others by the time i finish my song? Did you guess which thing was not like the others? Did you guess which thing just doesn't belong? If you guessed the u.s. cover is not like the others, then you're absolutely...right! the carpetbagger , rising hegemon , and altenate brain have more on this story . And you say the 'liberal' media doesn't 'kid glovc' Americans!

Michael Brodkorb is the fifth highest paid staffer on Mark Kennedy's campaign Brodkorb confirmed that his pay is actually $4583 monthly. On even a full-time schedule, this would come to more than $25 per hour. This amount is higher than all but four Kennedy campaign members, including, incidentally, Mark Kennedy's own (presumably full-time) campaign press secretary. This is also more than the monthly pay for all but three of DFL senate candidate Amy Klobuchar's staff. Hmmm, I'd call that official. Why is he hiding this from his readers? Why has he not disclaimed all his ties? Well, a paid hack is a paid hack. MDE should be classified as either Mark Kennedy's Blog or the Official Blog of the MN GOP ( cause he takes money from other candidates too ).

A startling truth from the Strib today : Defeat this November is the deserved consequence for every incumbent member of Congress who has sung with gusto the bunting-draped "We'll fight them over there" chorus that was written and produced for them by the White House. Two especially deserving of that consequence in Minnesota are Rep. Mark Kennedy, who is running for the Senate, and Rep. John Kline, who is running for reelection. Kline's behavior has been especially contemptible because he is a retired Marine officer. It's difficult to comprehend that someone of that background would demonstrate so little regard for the troops that he would vigorously support sending them to fight and die in a war that puts their nation at risk.

Needlenose gives us a snapshot of the future.

but have a nice weekend... Behind Door Number One er..Three .. I'm thinking it's all three...and I particular buy into Mark Kennedy being a moronic manlipulator lacking complete website intelligence!- kudos to the across the great divide in getting to the heart of the brainless matter. I don't make this stuff up... Even in my wildest dreams: Black Republican group's ad accuses Dems of starting KKK, claims MLK was Republican It's coming! Run screaming for your voter registration forms! It's really no surprise that Karl Rove and Bu$hCo keep trying to scare the beehudos out of the voting public... "In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an 'October surprise' to help win the November congressional elections," I'll let you know when I can sleep through the night till then...

Holy quack! A duck got out of the pen.... We all know about Diebold's vulnerabilites and ties to the rethugs... But now there's a strong "if it walks like a duck" case to be made that the Georgia election in which Vietnam veteran Max Cleland (D) was ousted from his Senate seat was probably cooked....As in fraudulent fudging irregularities revolving around secret software patches. A DailyKos diary broke this and now Rolling Stone magazine has the story. Seems like there's a dead victim, some smoke, and now indications of the the gun..that doing more than quacking: Georgia law mandates that any change made in voting machines be certified by the state. But thanks to Cox's agreement with Diebold, the company was essentially allowed to certify itself. "It was an unauthorized patch, and they were trying to keep it secret from the state," Hood told me. "We were told not to talk to county personnel about it. I received instructions directly from Uros...

CD2 (and the South Metro especially) has probably the greatest list of Democratic candidates. They are on fire with the passion and Minnesota values that reasonate with voters. One of those candidates is Sandra Masin in SD38. Her motto is 'Calling for Common Sense'. I would add to it, 'and not willing to pull any punches!' Check out IMP's video podcast of Sandra's dressing down of Republican incumbent Tim Wilkins. Yes sirrey...We got ourselves some real winners.

There's substance and strength within DFL Congressional candidate in Minnesota's Second District Coleen Rowley. Sure- she's not polished like a consummate politician, but give me her straight forward, 'I'm willing to stand up at the gates of hell for you and tell the devil the truth' personality over any run of the mill, milk toast Democrat! Coleen Rowley, the DFL candidate for Congress in Minnesota's Second District, issued a sharp denunciation of recent GOP smears directed toward Keith Ellison, DFL candidate in Minnesota's Fifth Congressional District. There's power in truth, what's it worth to you? "With no record worth bragging about, Republicans candidates are left with fear and slander. Even the National Republican Congressional Committee has admitted t hat it plans to spend more than 90 percent of its budget on negative ads. They say, 'Give up your rights, so we can protect you. Fear gays and lesbians. Fear liberals. Fear Muslims...

Congressman John Kline (MN-R- CD2) has a lot more in common with Richard Nixon these days. Clearly Kline has stepped over the line of public service to public harrassment. Wonder if I ask to see my 'file' if he'll allow it, or is it soley for his personal use in smearing people? Is it no wonder Kline supports warrentless wiretaps. The Star Tribune's Kevin Diaz reports that Kline's office had been gathering blog posts from Paul Bartlett, a DFL activist who has written unfavorable things about Kline in the past. Today Bartlett responded to the revelation: Kline's staff exposed their dark underbelly during their Diaz interview, revealing that they have maintained "a lengthy file of his e-mails and blog entries." I would expect that they would maintain my e-mails, after all, I was a constituent and had every right to contact my congressman, but to admit that they search the blogs looking for my postings is disturbingly paranoid

I attended the Murtha, Oberstar and Rowley event Sunday at the VFW hall in Rosemount. The place was packed, standing room only. About half were vets. Many we’re like me, the spouse of a vet (my husband was too ill to attend). As luck (!?)would have it I got to stand next to a troll that wanted to ‘exercise his first amendment rights’ by baiting and heckling. Oberstar was introduced with a reference to all his great work on port security. The troll loudly proclaimed ‘what about immigration and the borders?’. Another vet who looked to be about 70 replied calmly, ‘Ports are borders’. The general area broke out in chuckles and smiles…It was right after that the troll made his stage right exit. There was lots of excitement inside and more and more and out . It reminded me of the 60’s with all the outside protesters and counter protesters. Kline’s folks were in full fruity neo-con mode even verbally attacking the kids (do you really want that kind of behavior on your behalf Mr. Kline? Som...

Never forget that their are democrats that aren't going quietly... Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) "In light of the rantings that went on for 30 minutes here, in the chamber, by two colleagues from the other side, I'd like to state for the record that America is not tired of fighting terrorism; America is tired of the wrongheaded and boneheaded leadership of the Republican party that has sent six and a half billion a month to Iraq while the front line was Afghanistan and Saudi Arabia. That led this country to attack Saddam Hussein, when we were attacked by Osama bin Laden. Who captured a man who did not attack the country and let loose a man that did. "Americans are tired of boneheaded Republican leadership that alienates our allies when we need them the most. Americans are most certainly tired of leadership that despite documenting mistake after mistake after mistake, even of their own party admitting mistakes, never admit they do anything wrong. That's the kind of...

John Kline and Body Armor This ad is currently running against George Allen in the Virginia Senate race and is garnering huge earned media on CNN and elsewhere. This ad is the talk of the town.

A new study released yesterday by The Center for Information Technology Policy at Princeton University , demonstrates just how easy it is to steal an election without leaving a trace Does anyone doubt that Karl Rove would do ANYTHING to win an election? Whisper campaigns about Ann Richards being a lesbian, push polls suggesting that John McCain fathered an illegitimate child, lying to the FBI about his office being bugged by the opposition and voter suppression drives are all hallmarks of a Rove run campaign. Name one thing in his moral character that would suggest he WOULDN’T tamper with election results ? Yeah, I can’t think of anything either. Without full confidence that our elections are free and fair, we don’t have a democracy. As long as Democrats in Congress refuse to engage on this issue, they remain a bigger part of the problem than those who would exploit vulnerabilities in the system. Karl Rove being a snake is expected, but Democrats are to blame for continuing to provide ...

Regardless of how Kennedy's campaign spins it, “ radical Christianity is just as threatening as radical Islam.” There's enough bad examples of radical religious behavior on both sides. Radical means : extremist: (used of opinions and actions) far beyond the norm; "extremist political views"; "radical opinions on education"; a person who has radical ideas or opinions If Mark Kennedy is going to use these kind of 'radical' flawed associations in an failed effort to discredit Amy Klobuchar , can we really depend on him making common sense and valid decisions that represent the average Minnesotan?...probably not.

DJK has posted some polling showing Coleen Rowley is competitive with Colonel Kline. This would go a long way in explaining why Kline has come out early and negative in CD2. Klines latest attacks accuses Coleen of having no stand on issues. (Does Kline even listen to his own claptrap nonsense or is his campaign staff just as stupid?). Fact: Coleen's website has posted ten issue (which doesn't include her OpEd's and blogs). Fact DeKliner : Kline's campaign website has posted ZERO issues. (Unless you count the fluff that says he supports a strong economic...yada yada yada..) This is really a page out of the RNC Rovian play book...accuse Democrats of your own short failings, attack, attack and attack, deflect from the issues and attack some more. We've seen this for the last 6 years and voters are smarter now. Kline and the GOP attack dogs are 'staying the course' with their old campaign tricks : Already the Republican National Committee (RNC) has acknowledged...

Vox Verax blogged what my thoughts were this morning when I tried to access up-to-date information from the Secretary of State (Kiffmeyer) website. Haven't Minnesotans seen and put up with enough crap from the SOS office.. just one more reason to vote for Mark Ritchie . There was one precinct that did have up-to-date figures last night on the SOS site way before any of the others...it belonged to this guy . BTW- there's something about pawlently's website that reminds me of when I played with paperdoll cutouts of Ken...quick changes but only one dimensional. I should have done this before, but have now added Vox to my blogroll.

CD5, Keith Ellison is the winner. He received calls from both Erlandson and Reichgott Junge. As the darkside blogger said and I personally couldn't agree more!: 'With today's primary results, the DFL Party of Hubert Humphrey firmly establishes itself as the Party of Keith Ellison' Congrats Keith…now on to winning the next round! It's late and I have to get up early tomorrow...still no solid lead between Swanson and Kelley...looks to be a close one for now (midnite)......one thing I did notice here in Pawlenty suburbs...democrats turned out in higher numbers...wonder how that compares to 2004? Ah well... good night..time enough tomorrow to look at the data and dissect it

Superman Superman is coming...let's hope he arrives before it's too late. The Carpetbagger got it right when he blogged: In Bush's America, the America dreamed up by people like Yoo and Addington and implemented by people like Cheney and the Republican rubber-stampers in Congress, the president enacts laws, interprets laws, ignores law, and is essentially a law into himself (or herself).Don't think this isn't possible. It's happening right now.

Bu$h gave his 911 address…it wasn't political…yeah and the Pope ain’t religious…and Dubya ain't a liar. Here's my review on the steaming pile of garbage that wasted my time and used 911 anniversity for more evil ends... How ironic that Dubya found the time to travel to the 9-11 sites but still hasn't found time to attend a single funeral for the soldiers who have died fighting his war against Iraq. You remember Iraq? The country which never attacked the US, nor did it have the technology to do so, nor did it have terrorist training camps, or terrorist connections or WMD. But Dubya's speech did have one thing right: Iraq and Saddam was not responsible for 9-11. So tell us Mr Preznut- why are we really in Iraq? Duh. Funny that he’s still can’t explain it years later… Yesterdays nice and improved excuse: "He was a threat." Period. The end. No mention that the first threat Bu$h sold to us was NOT TRUE! No explanation…no specifics, no truth… Just the Bushsh*t...

Congressman John Murtha (D-Penn.) will visit Minnesota to support Second District Congressional Candidate Coleen Rowley on Sunday, September 17th. Congressman Murtha, Minnesota's senior Congressman, Jim Oberstar (D-MN 8th) and Ms. Rowley will meet U.S. military veterans and the public at the Rosemount American Legion Post No. 65 at noon. Press release from the campaign: Northfield, MN, September 11, 2006--Congressman John Murtha (D-Penn.) will visit Minnesota to support Second District Congressional Candidate Coleen Rowley on Sunday, September 17th. Congressman Murtha is a 37-year Veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps who has served in the U.S. Congress since 1975. He has taken the lead in Washington by proposing to redeploy American troops in Iraq with a resolution widely known as "The Murtha Plan." A strong proponent of U.S. defense and security initiatives throughout his 32 years in Congress, Murtha regularly visits wounded soldiers at Bethesda Naval Hospital in Maryl...

Yes, she has done it again! After another letter and press conference by Mark Ritchie , Mary Kiffmeyer (you know the one who is supposed to be the current Secretary of State) fixes another oversight (well mostly). This letter basically calls for the Secretary of State to fully state the oath the legislature called for. After Mark Ritchie’s letter Mary Kiffmeyer sent out a memo to the county auditors which includes most the language the legislator insisted on, however, instead of implementing this change automatically, or at least as instantly as she could, she says that the new language will be printed on the rosters after September 11th. This means instead of reprinting the Rosters with the proper Oath for the Primary Election, the old oath - the one which does not comply with state statues will stay on the rosters and be the oath primary voters swear to. I guess Mary does not think that Primary elections are all that important. Now that is what I want to see in a Secretary of Stat...

Have You Had Enough Of John Kline? Vote Rowley! Things worked out so well with the first version of the "had enough" video that the Executive Producer and the musicians who did the song have done a special version specific for Coleen Rowley's race against John Kline . It also happens to be 60 seconds long... perfect for TV or radio use. Follow the bouncing ball and sing along as it's "Time to throw John Kline out". Howie Klein (Executive Producer of the music) is willing to help out other progressive campaigns with this video. He's done custom audio versions for several congressional campaigns and local DFLer (and so much more) Mike McIntee is cutting the video versions as fast as he can. If you know of a U.S. House or Senate campaign that could use this kind of help, please get in touch with Mike McIntee . He's doing the work as a private citizen for free....oh and donate to Coleen Rowley because we've had enough! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=...

Mary Kiffmeyer just likes tweeking the SoS website. After Mark Ritchie’s press conference the other day where he said: According to Minnesota Session Laws 2006, Chapter 242, Sections 17 and 18, residents of battered women’s shelters and group homes now have the right to designate an agent to pick up an absentee ballot and deliver it to them. The legislature passed this law on bipartisan basis this year and it went into effect on August 1st. Mary Kiffmeyer changed the SoS website yet again (from #1 below (which I have a pdf of) to #2 this to #3 this ). Because the section that changed is subtle here is what it was (Sept 5th'06): #1 : The Agent Delivery Designation Form is for people health care facility residents who want someone to handle the transmission of their absentee ballots. To this (Sept 7th '06): #2 : The Agent Delivery Designation Form is for health care facility residents who want someone to handle the transmission of their absentee ballots. The Residenti...

So Mike has been filling Paul’s roll in the final week, that’s a shame. However Ember is not being completely straight with us either. From MPR: (emphasis mine) Reichgott Junge says she’s a proven progressive, and is disappointed with Erlandson’s mailing. “ There is no question that I’m strong on gun control , there is no question that I have always opposed the Iraq war, there is no question that I always opposed the privatization of Social Security. He says differently. He is just simply misleading the voters,” says Reichgott Junge.” Hmmm, Ember strong on gun control? Really now... There is a big difference in criticism on their record and personal attacks. Ember needs to understand that questioning her past voting record is always legitimate, and it is in question.

Mary Kiffmeyer, knowing so much about the internets and all, said recently in the Rochester Post Bulletin (registration required) When I took office, the Web site was an 8-by-10 picture of the former secretary of state. We have dramatically changed the information that is available on the Web site and the phone lines and things like that... How neat, unfortunately for her, her web-history is wrong, and even though she does not understand these things, it can actually be proven how wrong she is. Heck, most computers did not have a screen much bigger than 8x10 back in 1998, and the website was quite detailed for the day. If she hadn't improved the site much since then, then she would be completely incompetent (rather than just mostly incompetent). Yaay Mary! You kept your head above the water, but why the need to lie about your predecessor? Why is this important? Because she has been criticized for not providing the full information that is required in state statues on the SoS...

The ABC television network is using the fifth anniversary of 9/11 as an opportunity to rewrite history. On September 10 and 11, ABC/Disney will broadcast "The Path to 9/11" , a 6-hour, two-part " docudrama " written and produced by conservative filmmakers who place a lion’s share of the blame for the 9/11 terrorist attacks on alleged failures of the Clinton administration. This ABC's mockumentary has no sponsors and is a Disney/ABC production. A good run down of how it came into being is posted a firedoglake. While this is as fictional as Harry Potter (who they also produce!) and the WMD (who Bush produced yet hasn't), The Path... is getting plenty of coverage regarding what’s wrong and right with it, but just in case you want to do more especially in shielding your children from this disgraceful display of GOP propaganda…Perhaps next will be Harry Potter and Bu$h's Magic WMD? read on... The biggest impact you can have is to call your local school dist...

Governor Pawlenty has a new ad entitled Pawlenty and Education. But from personal experience, I know how Pawlenty's term in office has affected education: My daughter ( the same age as Pawlenty's daughter ) attended the same primary school and was in many of the same classes. One day I happen to be talking to one of the teachers who mentioned my daughter ' forgot' to do her homework. Having several children, I know that a parent needs to react immediately to let their children know school work is part of their responsibility. That same day, I showed up after school and in front of the teacher asked my daughter to explain her missing homework assignment. Knowing even in third grade it was a serious situation because mom showed up unexpectedly, my daughter, on the verge of tears explained she couldn't do her homework because she didn't have the school book! Before I could question her further the teacher's eyes lit up and while sympathically patting my ...

Well, Mike's first ad is out and its not too bad. It is not what I normally would like to see - I would like to see something a bit harder hitting, something more fun and upbeat, but I am not the target for this ad. This is a good introductory piece playing up Mike's strengths, and I mean that literally. He is a fighter, which has rubbed some of my friends the wrong way (and well, it has rubbed me that way in the past too). But this is exactly what we need in MN, a tough Governor that isn't going to play nice with all that threatens our way of life here. Tim "the weenie" Pawlenty, may want to make everyone think he is cute and sweet and all, but you can have him and George W as you drinking buddy all you want, but we don't need them in office anymore. Mike Hatch, may not be cuddly, but he will fight tooth and nail for the security and health of this state. That is clear from this ad. If you want help this ad out, click here and donate!

Filed today under 'about damm time': ABC News: President Bush to announce that detainees held at secret CIA prisons, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be transferred to the Department of Defense and granted protection under the Geneva Conventions. Now let's look to our leaders to see if they will uphold the conventions or go toward the dark side in allowing new legislation to undermind the conventions and erode basic civil rights. Civil-liberties advocates point out that Guantanamo's 460 inmates have few other means to make their voices heard, given that most have been detained for more than four years without even being charged with a crime. Indeed, though the U.S. has condemned the hunger strikers at Gitmo, just last year the White House haile a hunger-striking Iranian dissident for showing "that he is willing to die for his right to express his opinion." At Gitmo, however, dead prisoners are something the U.S. military wishes de...

Am I the only one or is it getting warmer? “Carbon dioxide levels are substantially higher now than at any time in the last 800,000 years , the latest study of ice drilled out of Antarctica confirms.” What?! Bu$hism and lies over science and global warming? "You're talking about a president who says that the jury is out on evolution, so what possible evidence would you need to muster to prove the existence of global warming? We've got polar ice caps melting, glaciers disappearing all over the world, ocean levels rising, coral reefs dying. But these people are flat-earthers." - Robert F. Kennedy Jr., author of "Crimes Against Nature." So naturally congress will look into....nothing. They keep quiet while the commander-in-crime continues the lies: After a five-week summer break, Congress returns today for 19 days before ending its work for the legislative year. The only legislation being considered this week in the House “is a bill to toughen rules against ho...

This says it all... Vote Keith Ellison!

TGIF because I couldn't do another Thursday! In celebration of Labor Day: President Bu$h has announced he will do a recess appoint Paul DeCamp — a corporate lawyer who represented Wal-Mart and built a career fighting against unions — as head of the U.S. Labor Department’s Wage and Hour Division, which oversees “the nation’s wage and hour laws, including overtime laws, workplace discrimination laws, and child labor laws.” More at AFL-CIO Now Yes, I'm still obsessing on Rumsfeld... it's like trying to turn away from a bad accident: 60 % of Americans : there will be more terrorism in the U.S. because of the Iraq war.
