		<description>DJZ,

You&#039;re coming unhinged man.  I never said you were a practicing attorney for the DFL.  I said if you were an attorney, you did a poor job of characterizing legal process.

The stuff about, &quot;Cut the shit with dragging the girl in this. You bastards didn&#039;t give a damn about the President&#039;s daughter when you ran to embarrass and impeach him over a blow job, or four.&quot; is complete garbage.  What did Clinton&#039;s perjury, which led to his impeachment and losing his law license, have to do with his daughter?  Who on the Republican side used Chelsea Clinton for political gain?

You&#039;re coming unglued, man.  I can&#039;t wait to see how berzerk you go when Drazkowski wins next Tuesday.  The rank-and-vile, to use your words, DFL is going to be pretty depressed next week.</description>

		<description>djz,

So as long as a Republican at some point has acted badly you feel a DFL supporter should have a free pass to be inaccurate, dishonest or not supply sources for their statements?  It is that kind of crap that reduces the level of participation in the process and allows politicians to get away with just about anything.  How does using the same bad logic, juvenile bravado you make you any better than those Republicans you seem to hate so much?

Should Drazkowski be held up to the standards he promotes?  Yes.  So should I and so should you.  How about those that feel Drazkowski has acted improperly produce all the documents and sources including asking his ex-wife and daughter how they feel rather than take selected facts and fill in the blanks using their imagination.  Either that or you can admit having no better standards than those you ascribe to Republicans.</description>

		<description>Chris,
Running DFL elections is not what I do and I never said I was a practicing attorney for the DFL. You&#039;re trying you Jedi-Bush mind trick on us. I do however write checks and volunteer time on the ground or phones. Usually while you guys are drinking the MDE kool-aid. Strum&#039;s a dinosaur who should have stuck with Senate and Congressional where he kicked more republicans butt than Iraq has/will. A record better than any other GOP operative on the national level.

If this Drazkowski guy is the choice of the rank and vile- I mean &#039;file&#039; republicans, then I hope that 2008 is full of rank and file nominations for guys like Drazkowski because the ass-kicking delivered in 2006 will a fond memory for Republicans come November 2008.

Cut the shit with dragging the girl in this. You bastards didn&#039;t give a damn about the President&#039;s daughter when you ran to embarrass and impeach him over a blow job, or four.

Drazkowski bought her in this. He brought her on the campaign trail. He had her give speeches for him. SHE filed the assault charges against him. SHE complained about having to be forced to campaign. His ex-wife filed a restraining order against him (remember the uproar when Ellison&#039;s non-credible accusations came up about an attempt to get a restraining order? You guys had no time for facts or an investigation before you ran with it. Well with your guy, its documented). And finally, he himself went to the courts to get a pass on child support while he ran for office because in order to run full-time, he had to take an unpaid leave from his job.

When you run on family values and hold yourself and beliefs to be a cornerstone of your character and qualifications, don&#039;t whine its unfair when people take a look at your family and beliefs. The ain&#039;t matching the talk in this case.</description>

		<description>P.S. djz,

For someone who I believe was &quot;outed&quot; as a lawyer on MDE, you aren&#039;t very accurate about legal procedure.  Drazkowski did not sue anybody let alone &quot;the Republicans.&quot;  He filed a complaint for unfair campaign practices against two individuals.  The complaint did not specify monetary damages and was dismissed.  And Drazkowski is no more a Republican rejected loser than Mike Ciresi is a DFL rejected loser.  I hope he is your candidate djz because we&#039;ll just call him a DFL rejected loser the whole campaign if that&#039;s what the strategy is by the paid political operatives.  If you think you are going to divide rank and file Republicans in 28B from Drazkowski, then you&#039;re smoking something that isn&#039;t legal.  You guys are going to lose the race and blow a whole wad of dough at the same time.  But then again, you&#039;re probably like Bob Strum in that you don&#039;t care how many races you f*** up as long as you collect a check.</description>

		<description>djz,

I know you are a political hack for the DFL, but isn&#039;t the DFL supposed to care about the children?  Aren&#039;t you, in fact, exploiting Drazkowski&#039;s child for political gain?  She is a 16 year old girl caught in a messy divorce between two parents.  Where is your compassion for her and for what she has to go through being trapped between two parents (and their lawyers) duking it out for custody, visitation rights and other such issues.  It is not only tacky for you to be calling names (what&#039;s with you guys and the name calling...can&#039;t you win an argument fair and square) it&#039;s grotesque for you to be using a minor child against her parent for political gain.  But what should we expect from the party that used a funeral for political gain a few years back?  Isn&#039;t anything sacred to you people?</description>

		<description>djz boasted: &quot;For the record KH, I don&#039;t have a hard time convincing people that my opinion is worth a damn. I&#039;m paid quite comfortably for my opinion.&quot;

Heh, I bet....

&quot;I suggest the paper ma&#039;am, the plastic is not recycleable.&quot;</description>

		<description>Must be tough to convince people that already have the same opinion while ignoring people who disagree with you.  An impressive and very productive method of dealing with others.</description>

		<description>djz,

Sorry to hold you and others accountable I didn&#039;t know it would upset you so.  I didn&#039;t attempt to deny any of your points (though #4 is just childish and meaningless) and apparently you didn&#039;t bother to read anything I wrote because you don&#039;t actually counter any of it.  You make your points of fact and then fail to follow with any reasons each one of those points should influence people to vote one way or another.</description>
