Minnesota Sun Current Newspaper Bias on Tax Increase 2008-03-06 17:42:22 One of the largest local newspaper chains in the Twin Cities seems to be engaged in a little bit of biased censorship.

had a straight talk moment while addressing supporters yesterday (February 29, 2007). McCain appears to have summed up his entire political career in six words.

Keith Downey to Compete for Ron Erhardt’s House Seat 2008-02-29 21:18:07 For the casual Minnesota politics observer, the Minnesota House
of Representatives is a boring topic. Most people are too busy working, raising a family, or collecting welfare checks.
However, the issues developing internally inside the Minnesota House Republican Caucus should catch everyone’s attention. The leader of the House Republicans, Marty Seifert, has done a great job [...] Read more:Compete

Bring in the Replacements! 2008-03-09 21:42:11 Saturday’s Republican conventions may be a signal of a paradigm shift in Minnesota Republican political thought.
Traditionally, the incumbent would receive the de facto endorsement of the party. Both Democrats and Republicans have enjoyed this undeserved luxury for most of our nation’s political history.
Saturday’s caucuses have produced a much different result. Grass roots activists within their [...] Read more:Replacements

Two Choices: Obama is a Radical, or He is a Liar 2008-03-18 17:29:44 Up until recently, race has been all but a dead issue in America. Most Americans do not even consider making race a factor when hiring someone, and it is safe to assume that most Americans do not feel that race plays a significant role in their choosing of friends and aquaintences.
However, radicals like Jeremiah Wright [...] Read more:Obama

Florida Primary Redo is Not Going to Happen 2008-03-17 19:59:16 Florida democrats have been talking about a “do over” in Florida ever since the primary early this year. The problem is that Florida’s primary came to early for the democrat schedule.

Lieberman-Warner Environmental Act Could Kill Economy 2008-03-27 18:50:43 The Hill is reporting that the Lieberman

act could cost far more than Democrats are willing to let on.
In fact, even after most of the up front expenses are taken care of, the EPA predicts that the bill would cost the U.S. economy $983,000,000,000 in a singe year (estimate for 2030).

Why do Liberals like Obama? 2008-04-03 21:38:10 Why do people follow Obama
? Is it because of his “role model” status?
A man who openly admits he was a drug user, admires a racist pastor’s, and can’t get over his cigarette addiction does not sound like a role model to me.
This is exactly the man that Democrats want running the country. Barack Obama is [...] Read more:Liberals
When did congress replace the courts? 2008-04-02 22:25:33 This week, two major “trials” took place in the Democrat controlled United States congress.

Note to Republican Politicians, Compromise does not Make You Better 2008-04-21 20:04:58 I just saw a commercial where Nancy Pelosi and Newt Gingrich sit on a couch together and advocate “Climate Change” legislation.
The funny thing is that we have not had a warming period for almost a decade. In fact most long term climate studies that propose a “Global Warming” scenario end in the 1990’s, which coincidently [...] Read more:Compromise
