Can a Brother Get a Plug?

You don’t think that ‘Blue State Hack’ Nick wrote this do you?
Finally, like many citizens in St. Paul, we were disappointed by Kelly’s active endorsement of President Bush in 2004; it made no sense for an urban mayor to support a federal administration that did so little for cities. To make matters worse, the mayor’s recent “major announcement” left many scratching their heads. After losing the September primary 2 to 1, he pleaded with voters not to vote “out of anger” over his presidential choice. Coming from one who is known to express anger often, the comments rang hollow.
In the end, both candidates are moderate DFLers who share many of the same views. It has become clear, however, that Chris Coleman is better suited to carry a centrist vision forward in ways that fit the sensibilities of St. Paul citizens.
Chalk full of crap.
The City of St. Paul has very little time to correct their recent swing to the fringe. They are in fact voting against Bush on this one. Newsflash everyone, Bush has 3 years, then he is gone. Let sleeping dogs, or lame ducks lie.
I’ve been saying that Kelly would be better off switching parties and running for Congress, but it is too late. Had Kelly taken the opportunity to leave the Democrats, before the polls came out, he’d have been relatively ok. He could have even ran as a Republican for Mayor. But it is far too late. The DFLers in St. Paul have been convinced Kelly is teh anti-christ. Theyy now officially believe that he, like Bush, actually does hate kids.
St. Paul’s DFL has a track record of putting personal politics over the City’s best interest. Back in the 90’s Mayor Norm Coleman was forced to leave the Democrats because he would not allow gays to march in a parade. HE went on to become a US Senator for the Republicans. It is too earlier to tell if Kelly will have such political luck, but I fear that he’ll have to do something.
It is becoming clear that St. Paul is on a mission to go left. They refuse to look at Minneapolis’ downward spiral and take teh neccessary precautions to avoid it. Mope, the activist leftist in the city have framed a mayor’s race on how the incumbent DFLer has been working with Republicans. He supported a Republican for President, because of a war. Now those fringe activists, are trying to blame Kelly for the State Government being forced to cut local govenrment aid. They claim it was all Pawlenty.
My advice is that Randy switch parties. Randy you, like your predicesor, are being thrown out of a Party you can barely recognize anymore. I know you’ve said that yuou don’t want to do it, but you have no choice. You can either become a Republican and continue to fight for St. Paul’s best interest, or loose this election and watch the fringe leftists take this once great city down the rabbit hole.
Taxes will skyrocket under Coleman’s leadership. Businesses will flee from the oppressive policies of the fringe DFLers. The recent growth and expansion in the city will slow to a crawl and eventually dry up.
I’m finding it rather odd how involved in St. Paul politics the Strib is getting. But then again, they have a brother of the fringe DFL candidate on their staff. No word yet in non-monkey will be his brother’s choie for Lt. Governor.
