“What’s the one thing that Michele Bachmann fears most?” According to Maureen Reed the answer is “Maureen Reed.” As the DFL endorsing convention approaches at the end of March, the race for the DFL endorsement in the 6th Congressional District is well under way. And Reed is staking her claim as the independent progressive candidate in the race, primarily against Sen Tarryl Clark, in a mailer being sent to residents in the district.
Reed’s campaign says, “since she’s not a career politician she can’t be attacked for raising taxes,” in a nod to moderates and independents, but she also gave a nod to progressives: “She’s the only candidate who supports a public option that competes with insurance companies and that includes measures to lower costs.”

In a clear attempt to distinguish herself from the eminently more qualified Tarryl Clark, on just about every panel of Reed’s campailing mailer, she boasts about being an “outsider” and not a “career politician.” Coming from someone who ran on a major-party statewide ticket for Lieutenant Governor four years ago and who touts her service as chair of the U of M Board of Regents, this is laughable.

This mailer is just false. Tarryl Clark not only supports a public option, she’s actually fought for public options like MNCare at the State Capitol for years. What has Maureen Reed done?

…if they have ever been in, they should be out…
…experience my hind end…what we need are disgruntled regular people in elected to office, wide eyed at the amount of “this goes on here?” that actually goes on there.
remember the motto:
“If they’ve ever been in, they are out!”
This, and this only, can save us all from the beast which comes in disguise in the night, ripping our freedoms and liberties, our health and welfare, away in the name of
national security.

Reed accuses Clark of being a “career politician”, even though Clark didn’t hold an elected office until 2006.
And how does someone who doubled tuition at the “U” complain about someone else voting to raise a tax on the wealthy during a budget crisis?
And just wait until all the families of the people that Reed denied procedures to when she was the one-woman death panel at “non-profit” HealthPartners start talking.
