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)

Ron vs Ron, MNGOP 2004 vs 2006 OUCH!

Matt Abe dug up some pretty interesting information about the MNGOP election performance.

Republican election performance: by the numbers
2004 Elections (Minnesota GOP Chairman: Ron Ebensteiner)

13 net seats lost in the Minnesota House (Governor, constitutional officers, and Senate were not up for election this year)
Democrat presidential candidate John Kerry wins in Minnesota
“…there was a complete lack of message from the State party. It seemed like the party was busier trying to catch the DFL in some little campaign law slip up than it was relaying a solid message to the public. There was no cohesiveness across the state. It seemed like each candidate was on their own…The ‘04 election cycle performance was a shame. I hope that the people who shall be electing the Chair this year remember this dismal performance when they cast their votes. Poor performance does not need to be rewarded, no matter the party affiliation.” —Andy Aplikowski in Residual Forces, February 25, 2005

2006 Elections (Minnesota GOP Chairman: Ron Carey)
19 net seats lost in the Minnesota House
6 net seats, and majority status, lost in the Minnesota Senate
Republican Governor Tim Pawlenty re-elected
Republican Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer defeated
Republican State Auditor Pat Anderson defeated
Republican Attorney General candidate Jeff Johnson defeated
Republican U.S. Senate candidate Mark Kennedy defeated
“This party had two devastating losses in ‘04 and ‘06 and that trend has got to be reversed. Part of that is because they have been fighting a defensive battle and not taking the offense. Not showing what the Republican Party stands for, not showing what we can do better than the opposition, the Democratic Party.” —Joe Repya, candidate for Republican Party of Minnesota chairman, quoted by Tom Scheck in Polinaut, April 11, 2007

Have a good weekend spinning that into an improvement folks. Especially when people start to remember how bad we thought 2004 was.
