		<description>Let&#039;s all be honest about Gaither.  What the public doesn&#039;t know that everyone inside politics knows is that Gaither &quot;resigned&quot; because he got caught nailing his assistant to the wall....and numerous other places...like the back of a volkswagon.  This is on top of that fact that he&#039;s a complete d-bag anyway.

I must come clean on something too. The biggest mistake I ever made was allowing his kid to walk on to my football team.  They deserved to fire me on those grounds alone.  Luckily he shares a number with a couple of other players so that should tell you something about his chances of playing.  Similar to a tree falling in the woods, if a person never steps foot on the field does he still deserved to be called a &quot;college&quot; ball player?</description>

		<description>This is a bit late but in sreponse to #14, I make no endorsements of this guy.  I just don&#039;t like reasonable discussion replaced by name-calling - from either side.</description>

		<description>Gaither left Tim Pawlenty’s office in late 2006 after the election results possibly due to the new moderate tone Pawlenty would be forced to strike and Gaither’s known conservativeness.

EY:  That is Gaither&#039;s self-serving story on why he left the Governor&#039;s office.</description>

		<description>1) Just to clarify, Assclown is a pejorative term. I am not sure why that was in doubt, but if you also think that Gathier is a dedicated public servant with a great story, maybe you need some help.   I think that buffoon would probably be the closest word, at least the way I have seen it used.  Jackass would also work.

2) I&#039;m guessing from the responses (and getting pimped for using it 3 times in a comment) that Assclown is not an acceptable word on this site.  I won&#039;t use it again, unless its really, really appropriate.

3) What brought out the &quot;A word&quot; with Gathier is not just that he is another right-wing drone, but that he would do something idiotic like run against Jim Ramstad in a primary.   That&#039;s a whole other level of stupidity.</description>

		<description>Sure, y&#039;all love to believe Ramstad&#039;s image, and it is an image, that he is a moderate Republican. But look at his voting record. He has voted a very high percentage of the time with the Republicans and with Bush. I&#039;m sure he suppported the Bush budget. It&#039;s true, too, that his district has changed beneath him and he&#039;s covering his political ass by voting for the anti-surge resolution. He may believe it; but he&#039;s also covering his political ass. He&#039;s more Republican than you think. Just examine his voting record.</description>

		<description>Why wouldn&#039;t Ramsted switch parties and run as a Democrat? What would stop him? If Repubs continue to run as hard-core conservatives, I think it would be a smart move on Ramsted&#039;s part.</description>
