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)

Begun The CD6 Ad Wars Have, But How Long Will They Last?

Congresswoman Michele Bachmann (R MN6) began running ads earlier this week, and I just caught part of an anti-Bachmann ad this morning. Guess what, they are trying to tie her to Bush. I took a quick look and could find them on YouTube.

I didn’t catch the whole thing, but it sounded like it was probably from a National group or the DCCC itself. It will be very interesting to hear what her challenger, Democrat El ‘Gas Tax’ Tinklenberg’s fundraising numbers are. So far in the campaign, he is trailing Bachmann around 7 to 1 in cash on hand. 

If Tinklenberg didn’t have a huge quarter, he can’t run ads. He’s having so much trouble gaining any traction in the conservative 6th District that he has to pay volunteers. A lot of volunteers. Almost $100,000 a month of volunteers. That’s how he got all those signs up in so many illegal areas. (yes, he seems to think that his signs are perfectly allowable on freeway entrance ramps and on public right of ways. )

Update:

Here’s the anti-Bachmann attack ad. It’s from the liberal special interest Alliance for a Better MInnesota. One quick glance at their website’s front page will easily expose them as just another anti-Republican smear group. Better? Nope, just lowering the bar for political debate another notch. But of course, that isn’t noticed or acknowledged by the media, now is it?

Let’s not forget that Alliance for a Better MN is the same left leaning group that did the poll that showed Tinklenberg polling well behind the other Democrats in the 6th District. Gee, left wing special liberal interest group trying to smear a well  liked Republican. Oh yes, the well funded attack dogs for the Democrats are on the prowl.
