I’m not advocating any sort of boycott; I’m just commenting on the glass house from which Minnesota Republicans launch stones.

See, for further example, the criticism of Brodkorb of Democrats who don’t hold town halls in light of the non-existent town halls from Kline and Paulsen and the shrieking of the RPM mouthpiece Minnesota Democrats Exposed about non-existent DFL FEC problems in light of the mountain of very real problems the RPM is facing as the auditors at the FEC try to unscramble their financial wrongdoings.

I have no respect for Larry Jacobs. He’s a know it all who frankly knows little about the things he is interviewed about. Just a mouth piece looking to boost his image at the university.

I went there for the first time in the over 20 years I’ve been going to the fair Bought two bags. Ah for the old days of Rudy’s milk to wash it down, this whole controversy is so anti the Great Minnesota Get Together.

Someone needs to ask Larry Jacobs why he opposes capitalism.

Well, thank you Republican Party. I didn’t know this. Now I will definitely go out of my way to buy a donut from this vendor when at the fair tomorrow.

Turns out the far-right party is kinda useful at times! ;)

Thanks for the heads-up about Baja Sol. I’m adding it to my list of locally based businesses I’ll no longer patronize along with MGM Liquor Warehouse and TCF Bank.

Tony Sutton, CEO of Baja Sol Mexican Restaurants, might want to re-think calls for people to boycott food vendors because of the politics of the people who run them.

BFD. I know someone who’s church group is a food vendor at the College World Series and you can bet they’re not advertising that those hot dog sale dollars are funding pro-life and anti-gay marriage initiatives.

I’m sure there’s plenty of state fair vendors that may not be PACs but they’re funding assorted causes with their profits. As long as the food is good, I don’t care.
