Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Dear Governor Pawlenty,

To: Governor Tim Pawlenty,

I think you did a decent job last session. You did not have the support from the Republicans in the Legislature that you needed to. I can see this, but few others can. And that is a problem.

You really need to get out on the stump and defend yourself. Just months ago these same people who today attacking you, were calling you a Presidential contender. Now they won’t back you for dogcatcher. That is not good, because you need them to be on your side.

Your intentions were good last session, but they were twisted through the media and spun against you.

My advice to you would be to get out in public again. I’ve seen you speak at Chamber of Commerce functions and other places where you clearly explained yourself. I was part of that conference call where you said loud and clear that you could not do it alone. Take those same messages public.

Get out the message that in order to have a smaller, less expensive government we need to have a Legislature with a strong majority of fiscal conservatives. One Governor cannot do it alone. Get out there and ask that the people who are so upset with you, help get you what you need, more fiscal conservatives in office.

I fear if you continue to stay behind the scenes, your support will be damaged beyond repair.

Keep your chin up, I still support you. And remember that a lot of the people who are ‘giving up’ on you, cannot see the forest through the trees.

A concerned supporter,
Andy Aplikowski

    We don’t agree on Pawlenty, but I like this letter. I agree the MSM gave Dean Johnson, an obvious liar, one of the most amazingly complete passes in Minnesota political history. So right or wrong, Pawlenty has to get out there and re-establish himself with the voters. I hope Pawlenty understands that he is indeed in trouble with a significant portion of the base as your letter states.

    Pawlenty is good in prepared speeches. I was at the April 15 rally – he was great. But he gives it all back and more on Almanac and At Issue. So yes, get out there on the stump, and stay off the Almanac couch for a while.

    But there’s a big gut-check coming – the stadium special session that even a DFL insider said that there was zero public clamor for. If the Governor bites, that could flood the fifth compartment of the SS Pawlenty.

    I heard him on Ron and Mark’s show. He’s trying to make the case for a special session. GULP!
