"The federal government has run every entitlement program they have essentially into the ground."

Dusty Trice caught the hypocrisy of Gov. T-Bag's appearance on Faux News yesterday; about how Gov. T-Bag cancelled an appearance at Harvard University when there was a potential for a Swine Flu outbreak but had Pawlenty of time to chat away about teabagger bull(stuff) on Faux News while Minneapolis was cleaning up after yesterday's tornados.  It's all about the priorities, doncha know?

So I'm watching Gov. T-Bag, and I spit coffee on the keyboard when Gov. T-Bag said this:

The federal government has run every entitlement program they have essentially into the ground Medicare is broke. Medicaid is broke Social Security is broke they've running every program they have them -- that nature into the ground why would we give them another one to run and manage into the ground."

Just exactly who - WHO - has "run the government" over the last, say, 40 years?

Nixon - 1969 to 1974; Ford 1974 to 1977 (GOP 8, Dems 0)

Carter, 1977 to 1981 (GOP 8, Dems 4)

Reagan 1981 to 1989 (GOP 16, Dems 4)

Bush The Elder, 1989 to 1993  (GOP 20, Dems 4)

Clinton 1993 to 2001 (GOP 20, Dems 12)

Bush The Lesser, 2001 to 2009  (GOP 28, Dems 12)

Over the last 40 years, the GOP has run the federal government, and it's entitlement programs, for 28 of the last 40 years.

So, when Gov. T-Bag says the "government has run everything into the ground" - that's HIS party he's talking about.

And in a way, T-Bag is "right" - we should NOT give the GOP another chance to run government; they break EVERYTHING.

I called the governor's office (0.00 / 0)
The person who answered claimed that the governor was in and did know about the tornado. That's funny since there was no press pictures of Tim Pawlenty surveying the damage nor one of the infamous press conferences. Our governor was again out of town and is probably preparing for his next NATIONAL press interview. Minnesota - that's the job that Tim Pawlenty used to have before he started working nationally for the Republican party. He just forgot to resign like Palin and sign up for a different payroll.  

Grace, Gov. T-Bag just demonstrated, once again, why.... (0.00 / 0)
...reasonable people cannot reasonably believe GOP "leadership" is telling the truth.

Ever hear a GOPer claim about some damned judge "legislating from the bench"?  

Well, for 28 out of the last 40 years, it's the GOP that's been appointing them.

The simple fact is, the GOP believe government can't  function; when they're in power, they prove it.

Especially Gov. T-Bag; he's run this state into the ground.

"Those that forget the lessons of history, tend to vote GOP"

Feels Like MN Is Without A Governor Now! (0.00 / 0)
I'd say I can't wait for T-Paw to be gone, but I'm afraid he already is!
