“exceptions the union part and that they still campaigning on wedge issues”

I am surprised that you will admit that the conservatives were the secessionists in the Civil War and that they still campaign on wedge issues. But I agree that those factual statements about conservatives in this country.

Gee commong ground with a flaming red who would have thunk it.

At the end of his speech, Erik Paulsen stated:

“I will not be out-hustled in this campaign.”

Clearly, those that look into Erik Paulsen’s past - his verifiable record - and compare that to what Erik Paulsen said on Sunday, can only conclude that Erik Paulsen is indeed a hustler.

Because he certainly isn’t believable.

I was stationed in the south; I went to college in the south, and a kid now goes to college in the south.

I know what I speaketh of.

Those segregationists didn’t change; they just changed parties.

While I agree that the current batch of Republicans resembles most of your comments you might want to check out history a little before invoking it.

Republicans were the first “progressives” and also were not the ones that got us into such wonderful conflicts such as Korea and Viet Nam. You can lay those on Truman(D), Kennedy(D),especially Johnson(D) and Nixon’s(R) mishandling of the U.S. leaving Viet Nam.

Democrats were also the enforcers of southern segregation from the Civil War until the late seventies. If anything Democrats are recent trying to distance themselves from a “long and ugly history of opposing the union, hostility to justice, campaigning on wedge issues, starting wars of choice, promoting corporate welfare, prostituting their elective positions to the wealthy elite at the cost of the rest of us and trampling on liberty.” with exceptions the union part and that they still campaigning on wedge issues.

The neocons learned their methods and ideology from Democrats, especially Johnson. They stopped fighting for limited government and started playing the demographics game to get elected. Reagan was the first to sell out by inviting the southern Democrats into the Republican party along with the evangelicals.

And unless you have been hiding under a log you would know that both Democrats and Republicans are funded mainly by “special interests” that include all types of businesses. Any difference between them on that account is purely superficial.

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The right in this country has a long and ugly history of opposing the union, hostility to justice, campaigning on wedge issues, starting wars of choice, promoting corporate welfare, prostituting their elective positions to the wealthy elite at the cost of the rest of us and trampling on liberty.

To paraphrase an older and wiser man than I, the problem with Republicans is not what they don’t know, but what they know for sure that just ain’t so.

That, and the fact he has the charisma of your proctologist.

Paulsen claiming to be “moderate” and “bi-partisan” simply doesn’t pass the “smell test”, because it isn’t credible.

Team “New! And Improved!!” makes a BIG TIME mistake, right out of the chute.

Paulsen’s toast, because he lacks credibility.

Didn’t Madia have a reputation for a Neo-Con at the UofM? That talk was sure squashed on these boards, but Paulsen’s transition to the middle will be dissected to no end.

What a joke.

1:30, on a Sunday afternoon??!?

Why didn’t he just send out a press release saying: “ignore us!!!”

The LAST thing Paulsen wants is scruitiny.

But that’s the first thing he’ll be getting.

And starting right out of the blocks by trying to claim something the record clearly shows he’s not, only goes to show why you simply cannot trust Erik Paulsen.

If you’re looking for proof of the republiCon “Collapse Of Credibility”, look no further than Erik “New! And Improved!!” Paulsen.

BOTH parties would be well served to choose a moderate for the general election. Once you get past the party nomination, which is controlled by a small minority of voters, it comes down to which candidate resonates the best with your average voter.

And history has shown, with the electoral success of Frenzel and Ramstad, that the average voter in the 3rd is neither a right wing conservative nor a left wing liberal.
