Dave – way to go!! Way to stand up for the same old republican/big money talking points. We need more people like you out defending the indefensible.

This is not surprising at all. King Timmy sitting in front of a TV camera spouting his own brand of lies.

At the same time, our next Governor, R.T. Rybak is out on the streets of Minneapolis making sure that we are safe.

Why wasn’t King Timmy out there making sure we are safe? Oh, yeah. He never cared about the little people. Only the fat cat donors to his political campaigns.

These are some pretty shallow criticisms for an interview that was prescheduled, and frankly every thing he said made perfect sense. What would you have said if he canceled his interview? ” Gov scared by a little wind cancels talk show” ? How do you define Free? Gov handout? Do you people really think taxpayers should be paying for those who don’t produce.(in case you didn’t know, every dime of Government money comes from people who produce for pay) Apparently your mother never read “Aesolps fables” to you. Go find the story about the ant and the grasshopper. Healthcare reform would be a good thing, Obama care is not health care reform, it is production of another bureaucracy of monumental size and public oppression. What we need is the Government out of the current health care system. Since the Clintons passed the Patients bill of rights act (mandate), government control of Health care has gotten us to this point of so called disaster. HIPPA compliance and the government bureaucrats who enforce it have brought us to the point of small hospitals and clinics being absorbed by huge corporate entities where every patient is just a number. Why would anyone who can read current events and history want more government unless they are sitting on the street with their eyes shut. Why is Health Insurance such a big issue anyway when every US citizen has the best Health care in the world. Why are we focusing on Health Insurance instead of correcting Government in efficiencies? Insurance does not provide Health care. Tax paying citizens provide Health care !!!~ These people provide Health care for (taxed) pay. According to Obama, they are greedy and over charge or treat more than is necessary so they can get more pay! You think it would be better if they provided Health care out of the goodness of their hearts? Trust me, it will not last long if they have to take care of free loaders.

Palenty cares about Mn as much as I care about Bachmann! (I really dislike Bachmann). His abuse of the unallotment procedure should be seen as a huge deficit of his ability to work with the Legislature. Imagine him the leader of the so called free nation we once called ourselves. Seems nothing free about this country anymore. Its in the sewer in many ways. Republican put us there with their over the cliff beliefs. Now we must put up with the daily lies and fear tactics they use over healthcare reform. Palenty is about as relievant as Sara Palin and should not be allowed to travel the country or world on the MN. dime!
isnt he using his official position presently for personal gain? Ethics people!

If the Rt Cranky Guv is so opposed to government, I suggest he get off it’s gravy train and move in the private sector.

This man has been feeding at the public “government” trough he keeps bashing for decades.

Hey Timmy–don’t be surprised when you find yourself at the bottom of the well, and Lassie abandons you there you sleaze ball opportunist!

A bridge fell on this guy’s watch, and the cops are running rampant. Is it really any surprise? Pawlenty is on his world tour, and never has cared about his home state. Otherwise, they would have been using technology on that bridge, instead of using the archaic chain dragging method.

This comes as no surprise. “Governor” Pawlenty has lost interest in Minnesota in recent months, but he has always regarded the city of Minneapolis with an ill-disguised contempt.

It’s amazing to me that Tim Pawlenty is even taken half-seriously as a potential presidential candidate. He’s got the personality of a wet dishrag. He’s going to leave the next governor and legislature a huge deficit of his own making. He says Medicaid is broke but he supported expansion of the program to cover more children. He’s a cap-and-trade zealot who wants to impose higher costs on energy production, which will hurt families and employers. His political standing in Minnesota is so weak that there are real doubts about his ability to win re-election, which is why he decided not to seek another term. He backed John McCain in the 2008 GOP primaries, but couldn’t even deliver his home state caucus (which was won by Mitt Romney). There is nothing memorable about his time in office, except for the bridge collapse, which brought nationwide shame on the failure of his administration to adequately maintain the state’s infrastructure, a basic function of government.

Voter beware! The only difference between Bush and Pawlenty is a mullet haircut and a marginally better verbal presentation…remember Katrina? His focus is on 2012 and all else be damned.

T-Paw is a prick – why doesn’t he just do the honorable thing like Sarah Palin? Quit Tim. You’ll still be able to spin your talking points about how you held the line against spending in Minnesota
