McCullom = Unpartisan
I guess she feels safe to speak the mind of most Washington Democrats.
McCollum: Sick and tired of bipartisanship talk on health care bill
Read the rest if you must, but those of us grounded in common sense and also living outside of the DC and political beltways know that the problems in America all seem to boil down to something Government tried to do.
Real health care reform wouldn’t be shadow bills aimed simply at opening the door for a government takeover. Real reform wouldn’t be more mandates, but rather true competition. Real reform wouldn’t be taxation and penalties.
What McCollum and Democrats in Washington want to pass is the perfect proof of what cooperation looks like in their version of politics, either agree with our narrow vision and nanny state agenda, or we’ll call you the enemy.
It is too bad that people who happen to fall to the right of Chairman Mao and Stalin in MN’s 4th District can’t have any say in their own futures. But then again, this is what you get for electing a “Progressive”.
Freedom, liberty, self determination, not in McCullom’s America.

The straw poll voting rules were changed at the recent Minnesota GOP convention, which resulted in the front-runner, Marty Seifert, being penalized. The rules were changed so that if you voted for a gubernatorial candidate as your 1st choice you were forbidden to vote for that same gubernatorial candidate as your 2nd choice. Thus, Marty Seifert had the most “ineligible” ballots on the 2nd choice, because he was so popular as delegate’s 1st choice. See the below chart for details.
