"I grew up a few miles from here, and back then it was home to some of the worlds largest stockyards and meatpacking plants. But when those plants shut done because my party broke unions, exported jobs overseas, and hired Mexicans to do the same work for a fraction of the pay -- that's when I realized the rich and powerful elite could do whatever they wanted to hardworking Americans, and all they would do in retaliation is blame each other and fight over the crumbs. If there's one thing Ronald Reagan taught me, it's that big business doesn't have to be accountable to anyone. There's a brighter future for one percent of America. We know what we need to do."

Great. T-Paw wants to do to the rest of America what he did to Minnesota. Can Duluth become part of Canada now? Am I the only one irritated by that arrogant smirk on his face in this video?

Anybody else find they were turning the volume down little by little during the whole video?

TPaw must support the working class if he wears a Carhartt jacket. Nothing screams honesty and integrity more than a man in a canvas jacket...he's one of us!

I don't think a wishy-washy will-he-run won't-he-run kinda candidate is a good thing. And also is he running for president or making a summer blockbuster?

@ E:

*spittake*

New word for the day:  "trool,"  a bit of nonsense that demonstrates how a troll is only capable of drooling.

It's always fun listening to Mr. Veto T-paw. 

The contradicting messages involved in this video are daunting, I wonder if Frank Luntz is writing for him?

Jobs, Growth, Family, Opportunity! 

That and....cut services! austerity! the battle of entitlements! class war! looting of public utilities only to be sold on the private market to friends/family! Ending unions because they destroy jobs! "shared sacrifice"! and the appointment of private industry monopoly elites to run the commerce department or head the presidents economic advisers! 

We all must sacrifice in this class war, because without the rich, you wouldn't have your service industry job.  

I bid you a good day, oh and if your hungry, I grew up on malt-o-meal, so just deal with it, K? 

the left/right paradigm facade will forever live on in the beltway of misinformation politics.  Ahhhhhhh it's like taking a warm bath.

GUFFAW!

schooled!

Bahahahaha! w/ Timk

And now Michelle Bachmann is talking about running for president! I can hardly wait to see her videos! I'm sure there'll be lots of fire and brimstone in them.

Hell's half acre digit 3! Curly Endive thanks you on behalf of Miles, as he now floats down the Amazon, beyond the reach of his superiors in search of Original Man. Sometimes its a tough hoe to row here in the Norwegian Riviera, but he does his best to shake and bake anyway.  He also feels better now knowing, in fact, free beer can and should be used as a reward, and the good people of Duluth should not be afraid to accept, would that it were offered, as there were conflicting reports on this for a while. Miles is not afraid of free beer.  And he'll prove it on next chance, he just can't give his contact info here for fear of being shot by you know who, as his acerbic wit has finally proven too much to bear for some troubled souls.

And Jimb, Miles does see the beauty almost every day, in people and places, in little Japanese baby's faces, though he sometimes wishes it had more vast amounts of untracked wilderness, as he suspects God may be hiding out there with a case of dynamite, but realizes too it's okay to have his own special blend of what God means to him, and doesn't need to show up early Sunday morn and pay the tithe to have someone else tell him about it.

And now Michele Bachmann is barnstorming through Iowa... Paul, have you seen any campaign videos from her?

Read it and weep:

A Tea Party Star Stirs Iowans, and She Isn't Palin

And I thought Pawlenty would be a disaster. She makes him sound like a senior statesman.

I'm sooooo happy that everyone who voted for obama is just as excited about the 2012 election as they were in 2008.  I've been extremely impressed with his ability to conduct policy change within government. 

1. He closed Guantanimo Bay, where absolutely no one is being abused or psychologically destroyed. 

2. We pulled out of Iraq, yay! 

3. We "surged" in Afghanistan! Protect the Opium fields! 

4. Signed blazingly supportive whistle-blower protection laws!

5. Repealed the patriot act! yay! 

6. Stopped those big bad corporations from dodging the tax code! They thought they'd get away with it until the entire economy had collapsed! 

7. Put those wall street "banksters" out of business, replacing the SEC's employee revolving door w/fearless investigators.  At least 1, no! 2 people have been sited for unethical business practices. 

There are many many many many more instances of radical change in our beloved institutions that I can't name right now, because I need to get back to work.

He's taking back our country? From who- the black guy?

Pawlenty wants to take America back to the '50s when the white men went to work, and the women stayed home, taking care of the children, and black people knew their place. Reminds me of some people in Duluth...
