More from the republican platform.
Yeah, I know. You're begging me, icepick to your eyes, " Please...no more of that drivel...I will blind myself if you do". Sorry...Just some more...maybe.
While the republicans run from Dubya faster than a nude man from a hornet's nest, I'll remind them and everyone else what they actually say in their platform:
B. President George W. Bush, whose principled leadership in time of war
ensures that America at home is free and prosperous, and abroad
remains the beacon of hope and freedom for the rest of the world;
Hmmm...principled....Let's see..Lying to get us there....Messing up on the plan....letting no bid contracts out to friends...ill-equipping our troops, then cutting the VA budget....Halliburton...Katrina...This is what republicans are about, and this is what they have done for 25 years. Fed at the trough of working people, made our lives more difficult, and sold their soul to a bunch of religious fanatics. Remember: They love George, except that he is really unpopular now. They are all still one and the same.

Republicans aren't repubicans...they're just "candidates"....
I have spent several painful hours going thru the bs called the Minnesota republican party platform, and it is quite interesting. Somehow their candidates never mention this thing,most likely because they hope noone ever reads it. God forbid someone finds out what they acually do.
Here is good one from section 2:
Y. That the lawful definition of a ‘Human Being’ shall be: ‘When the DNA
(Deoxyribonucleic Acid) of Mankind is joined.’
meaning when the sperm hits the egg. What we have here is a religious definition, plain and simple. Having gone thru the enlightenment ( meaning satanic knowledge called biology class) calling an egg inside a hen a chicken. About a million things could happen on the way to the rodeo called birth, most of them natural. The aim of this is to ban ban birth control and abortion. Throughout this section, there are multiple references to this idea, including that sexual partners should have a right to force a women to bear the child. Again: it says fathers should have the right to force a woman ( or girl) to bear a child if there has been "conception". Here is what this means:. My daughter has sex with her boyfriend. She comes and tells me. She decides, a month into a pregnancy, to have an abortion, when the fetus is nothing more than a collection of cells. I support her. The father, an 18 yr old low life, will have the right to force my daughter to bear his child. I, of course, have no right to sue to force him out of the gene pool for doing my under 18 daughter.
This is called forced pregnancy. The Nazi's did it. So did Stalin. So do the fanatical muslims. In short, the republicans want to force our daughters and sisters to have children....they don't want us to have birth control or family planning, they don't want us to have access to abortion, they merely want to make us slaves to their religious beliefs.

Why is it that republicans hate ordinary people? I am reading through the voting records of Rod Grams and Mark Kennedy this morning, and these guys hate anyone with an income under 100,000$. Minimum wage....we don't need it. Overtime: We don't need it. Assistance to build schools , headstart, health care funding and aid for small farmers are all part of some vast conspiracy. The other day I was at my father's assisted living ( i am sure another crazy liberal idea...housing the old and infirm with dignity and care, rather than that wonderful republican concept of homelessness or the old poor farm), and a man was walking around....he had prosthetic arms and came over to ask me how I was...he had obviously been burned and lost his arms in that...turned out he was a veteran, wounded in Korea. This year, the repubs voted to cut vet's funding....frigging vet's funding. Now that's patriotic. Wave a flag repubs, and yell "we screwed vets". Remember: these people have voted against anything that has improved people's lives for the last 70 year. The eight hour day, overtime pay, social security, health care, the minimum wage..they have fought against it all and are trying to get rid of it now. They want to bring back the good ol' days of slavery. But if you are a large corporation, and contribute oodles of cash to their forever growing pockets, suddenly you are in need of desperate assistance. The poor, poor rich suffering the burden of the estate tax...forced to get only millions and billions.....never actually having to work....I am crying for them. I have concluded this: These people are just self-serving fanatics who cannot and will not deal with reality. Blind to the real world, they do not see what is real, but only what they wish to see. Then they fatten themselves and their friends at the public trough.

More rightwing drivel.
I chose to suffer through Twin Cities' Public Television Almanac the other night, exposed to two republican hacks, Sarah Janacek and Andy Brehm. These people stay on message so well that a tornado could rip though the studio and they would somehow blame a dem. They do not deal with reality at all, namely that their party's policies have turned the country into a mudhole of dying troops and debt. The only reason I mention this is Janacek's whining about the treatment of Karl Rove, how evil protesters harassed this decent man to his car. Sarah....The man is scum ( simply google Max Cleland's and Rove's name together). Take off your blinders and admit what your party has become: highly paid criminals running the country into the dirt while legally poisoning us and our children for personal profit. These are not the republicans of 30 or 40 years ago.
That makes a good transition to my favorite mama's boy lately, Rod Grams. He claims nice Minnesota roots. Grew up on a dairy farm in Anoka county...blah blah blah blah. He definitely didn't learn anything there. His votes against ordinary people, ( whom he always claims to represent) is so long I won't even try to post it. He voted against Head Start, voted against money for 1997 flood victims ( remember the Red River Valley?), and even voted gainst money for Veterans and their families health for god's sake. He never met a rich contributor he didn't like or vote for ( in the old days this was called bribery). He would call himself an ideological purist, which really means he is a fanatic, like most rightwingers nowadays.These people are downright scary...the only thing which appears normal from the outside is when they get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, lately a daily occurrence. Reporters and others need to start calling people like Grams on their BS, once and for all actually look at what they are doing, rather than what they are saying. Simple questions like " Why did Rod Grams vote against the Family and Medical Leave Act?" might be a start.....Think about what a world this might be....

Like herpes,too bad there isn't a pill for this.
Grams, admittedly, has little chance. Oberstar is a long time incumbent,mainstream in outlook, and adept at finding solutions to problems and helping the district. It is also a strongly DFL place. Grams record as congressman and senator was on the extreme right and his main claim to fame was being lapdog to Jesse Helms.His last campaign was painful to watch, and his insipid whining afterwards wuld have been comical if not for his history. Grams,a man who never met a dollar and a dirty campaign he didn't like, snivelling as he got buried. Pulling out the mom commercial at the bitter end was wonderful to watch....a desperate high schooler begging for approval.One would have thought that was the end.
He tried re-incarnating once before, but the republicans dumped him like a live skunk that time.
So why is he running?
Ego and a need for power, of course.
His first campiagn speech in the north was spent ranting about the blowdown to republican loggers, a pretty small straw to grasp at.
But why are the repubs backing him?
For them, it is a set up. Grams was a loyal pet, so he is trustworthy, and Oberstar won't be here forever. So with this campaign, they can test their slogans and methods, create some myths and plan for two years from now. They will survey and measure responses. They will study demographics. They will hand out talking points to local media. They will do this to the finest detail, a percentage here, a percentage there, hopefully to pull this off.
That is wha this is about.
They could care less about Rod Grams. They will do whatever it takes for this district, however.
