    What school is he actively teaching at? I knew that congress was a part-time job but holy cow! I think what Washington could use is an active custodian…

    Hey Tom, does “a” (a..hole)stand for what I think it does? Face it, Tim Walz is a genuine American hero, Veteran,teacher, football coach and actually from what I know a nice guy. I met and talked to the auctioneer, ol’ Gil, he doesn’t hold a candle to Tim, I just hope he runs again.

    Tim Walz is indeed awesome and being the accessable Congressman Gil had never been. The 1st CD is lucky to have a man like him in D.C..

    Tim and Gwen are friends of ours from those early months in 2005 after meeting them. I knew Tim was the one who was going to give Gil Gutknecht a run for his money after 5 minutes of meeting him. As I got to know both Tim and Gwen, the sincere need to serve was ever so present. I will be seeing Tim this coming Saturday, along with Monday and Friday of next week at various events. That will make it 7 times since since Feburary.

    The MN GOP may not like what he ahs been doing in COngress, but the work must be done. His serving on 3 committees and a special Bi-Partisan commission on China is unheard of for a freshman such as of his education and life experience. He will surely be serving in Congress on our behalf for many years to come.

    I only wish the NY Times asked tougher questions of Walz about his thinking that China will have more of an impact on the U.S. than al Qaeda.

    Chris, go to your local Wal Mart. Randomly pick a hundred items up and look at the country of origin. China is staging itself to make us a dependent nation on their manufacturing base. Also, look into how much China is loaning us to finance the war in Iraq. Walz is spot on.

    Richard,

    China is purchasing a large amount of T-bills. There is no doubt about that. That’s one of the things that happens when a country has a growth rate of over 10%. To say they are loaning the money to finance the war is a gross exaggeration considering war spending is around five percent of the total budget.

    Also, while there is a large trade deficit with China, the “threat” of such a trade deficit pales in comparison to the economic impact (let alone the human toll and psychological damage) of the 9/11 attacks. It’s a ridiculous comparison and I look forward to Walz defending the comparison for the next 18 months.
