I live in the 4th district and know many people from the 6th. Picture, if you will, outer ring suburbs, an SUV, a 1 ton pickup, a 4 place snowmobile trailer, and a fishing boat in every driveway. Picture people whos’ biggest political wants are as follows:
1) gun rights
2) elimination of taxation which goes toward welfare (but corporate welfare is OK)
3) elimination or prevention of gay rights
4) to make gods laws, our laws
5) elimination anything which goes against the bylaws of the “good ol boys club”
You can round out the top 10 by repeating the 1st 5. No…..wait, simply tranplant Sarah Palins constituency a few thousand miles southeast and and you have Minnesota’s 6th district. My apologies go out to the dozen or so people (out of 614,935) for which my stereotype may not be valid.

To Minnesotans of the 6th DC: Is she the best that your district has to offer?

Now she claims she “fell for the trap”. Chris Matthews gave her ample opportunities, and every time I said to my self now she will clarify her statement. Ahhhh Nop! She just piled on more insults.

Anyone willing to go through the misery of running for the United States congress, and to spend years at what can be a very thankless job (just ask former DFL Representative Tim Penny) can hardly be accused of having an ulterior “anti-American” agenda. Rep. Bachmann should know this since she should know her colleagues – even those with whom she disagrees politically! The very fact that she would entertain such an idea – even if she now regrets formulating it in the way that she did – shows not only a complete lack of collegiality, but a frightening perspective on average Minnesotans in her constituency. How many of us, if we happen to disagree with her, would she brand “anti-American”.

Unfortunately, I’m in the second district – but even as we will be working to oust Rep. Kline and elect Steve Sarvi down here, I encourage my fellow Minnesotans to remove Rep. Bachmann from office by voting for Mr. Tinklenberg.
