Buesgens attended event as Emmer representative on day of DWI arrest

Well, that settles it. I’m not voting for Emmer because of this.
/sarc

If I had to sit through that lineup of speakers, I’d get drunk, too.

Come on, apparently democrooks aggressively seek candidates that lie, often just for the fun of it. This sells like leftist desperation.

When you have no answers, as the far-left media does not, crank up the smear campaign and mix in a few lies.

How is this a smear campaign? Where are the lies?

He was drunk and he ran his car into the ditch.

If a democrook does the same and happens to kill someone in the process, he gets to be a Senator!

Again: is this a lie? Is there something inaccurate in it?

You don’t want to answer that without making reference to evil Democrats, do you? That is beyond pathetic.

Only a 2 time DWI’er like Emmer would support another DWI’er. No way would I vote for either of these clowns.

Emmer and Buesgens are not the people who should be involved in setting drunk driving policy in Minnesota. Their personal sins cloud their judgment

This fits their narrative in their attempted retroactive dismissal of Buesgens. Here’s the paperwork:

That Long Island Tea Party really knows how to throw a bash.

What is it about working for Emmer that makes people drink so much?

Is there a Teetotaler Party? I’ve gotten spoiled by *sober* representation.

The DFL president admits abusing cocaine, clinton was smoking doobies at Oxford. Substance abuse is a losing issue for the left.

And Bush did blow, Dayton relapsed to the booze as seantor, blah, blah, blah.

New Rule: Those that have no respect for the law and openly violate it, don’t get to be elected into a position that allows them to make/alter the law.

And Jimmy, can we please keep this on a local/state level instead of trying to pull in hail mary from across the country. I’m sure if I tried, I could find a ‘resmuglican’ (seeing as you like names) guilty of shagging a goat in Moosenut, Alaska if I looked hard enough. Ted Kennedy was a waste in his day- but he wasn’t our waste and wouldn’t get elected in this state for what he did.

Pretend you’re from around here and unplug from Glen Beck for a bit.
This isn’t leftist desperation, this got handed to then on a flippin’ silver platter.

Let me know when Emmer finally steals a clue from someone else, and when Dayton’s plan doesn’t suck anymore.

If anyone is looking for me, I’ll be off cheering for the 3rd party candidate that actually HAS a plan… and a solid grasp on sobriety.

Its the campaign LYING (Emmer caught lying yet again) about Buesgens’ position that is the issue, not the DWI

[...] the opposition started to dig and found that on the day of his arrest Re. Buesgens appeared at two rallies listing him as the “Campaign Chair” – and, in fact, the last one may have been where he obtained the alcohol that put him over the [...]

I am sooooo sick and tired of Republicans acting like idiots. Grow up and act like adults…and this goes for Republicans all over this country. Keep your pants zipped up, your legs crossed, feet under your own stall, stop apologizing for telling the truth and for god’s sake stay sober and start acting like Republican adults instead of like democrats. How dare any of you drink and drive drunk…against the very laws YOU institute.
As a die-hard Republican, I am sooo sick of all your behavior and all of YOU. YOU make the rest of us look bad.
Shame on you.

Being a drunk like Dayton is expected behavior for a Democrate. But a Repulican has a much higher standard because they are much better people.

Really Tim? Much better people get caught flat out lying over and over and over again like Emmer and Bachmann?

Nice blanket statement Tim. Hey, when you’re done jerking off to the latest Glenn Beck broadcast, why don’t you pull your head from the sand and check out some independent news sources? Anyone can regurgitate Fox news, intelligent people find out facts for themselves and not what is spoon fed to the masses.

I’ll let you get back to washing your Klan linens now…

Alcoholism affects 1 in 3 families. It is a disease. I, for the life of me, don’t understand why we have so many prejudiced people in this world. Do you also hate people with diabetes or epilepsy? Tom Emmer had 2 DWIs more than 20 years ago; he made some mistakes in his youth. His colleague’s recent DWI indicates an alcohol problem. Yes, I believe driving drunk should be punished severely, but some of these people have a disease….a disease that is very difficult to treat. I see no indication that Tom Emmer hasn’t received a DWI in 20 years. are you perfect?

Whoops! The last 2 sentences should read: I see no indication that Tom Emmer has driven while drunk in 20 years. Are you perfect?

P.S. I believe it is important to judge character when electing an official; However, their platform and budget plan are important too.

Had this yahoo killed someone law enforcement would be tracing his alcohol consumption. Had someone served him alcohol after his drunkeness became apparent they might have been held liable. Dick Borell should thank his lucky stars that Emmer’s campaign manager didn’t kill someone.

We should all be relieved that its Alcohol causing all this craziness on the Right: Bachmann, Emmer, Paulsen (the numbers guy who can’t construct a basic graph.)

If it weren’t alcohol we’d have to admit that Minnesota was electing the clinically insane to represent us. That’s too scary to imagine.

Good Grief Suz, wake up and smell the coffee. Your party is led by an Overweight Oxycodone addict and a fool named Beck. And here you are making a backhanded comments about Democrats? Get a grip woman. The base has taken over your party and its not pretty.

Henk, The Republican Party is not led by Glen Beck. He has conservative values and respects the Constitution of the United States (unlike the current administration). Yes, he gets a little (a lot) carried away, but that’s what makes him so entertaining. The current day Republicans are NOT conservative anymore. We want to get back to our roots and balance the budget.

Suz, Politicians are human beings. Whether they are Democrat or Republican or Independent, they are fallible. Choose your candidate based on their platform and not what some members of their party or anyone else has done.

Henk: Glen Beck is a RECOVERING addict (which you purposely omitted), which makes him better than you and me…..He lives his life according to the 12 steps and I honor him for that. Get an education. You know, “a man who lives in a glass house should not cast stones.” Unless you’re perfect, this applies to you.

The law is, you don’t drink if your blood alcohol is over the limit. That is the law. Breaking that law doesn’t make you human, it makes you a criminal if convicted. Or can we extend the “human failure” to illegal drug use? Illegal drug sales? Robbery? I mean, after all, we’re all human, aren’t we? Don’t we all get legally drunk and drive, don’t we all commit burglary, don’t we all drive recklessly and endanger others? Because, apparently, that is what makes us human, according to the “personal accountability” conservatives.

Glenn Beck is a fat pink faced half wit that spews lies and distortions on a regular basis, that said He is not near as bad as the fat bag of crap Limbaugh. Glenn Beck interprets the constitution to fit his own personal beliefs when in reality he has no more of an idea than anyone else of what our founding fathers meant when they wrote the constitution. Nancie what Republican ever balanced the Budget? The only 2 presidents in the last 30 years that have balanced the budget are Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton and the last time I checked they were both Democrats.
