| In case you missed last night's "Minnesota Matters - Wednesday Edition" on AM-950 KTNF, you can listen to it, here! IMNSHO, it was a fascinating conversation, and I'd like to thank Toni and Colonel Joe for sharing their thoughts and answering questions!
One of the highights were both Tomi Backdahl, State Coordinator of the Minnesota Tea Party, and LTC (Ret.) Joe Repya clearly repudiating and distancing themselves from the following quotes:
_ Tom Emmer quote: "I don't think you can call yourself a freedom-loving American and be a Democrat." Marshall Independent, Sept 2009
_ Tim Pawlenty quote: "Children who are victims of failed personal responsibility are not my problem, nor are they the problem for our government." -- Majority Leader Tim Pawlenty, April 2001 - as quoted in the Aitkin Independent Newspaper
During the first segment, we played "False Or False Witness!" where one lucky caller ("Bill" from Mpls) correctly identified that the quote I read actually was uttered by Michele Bachmann ("Bill" answered: "False Witness!"). The fabulous prize Bill won, courtesy of show sponsor Common Good Books, was one copy of Bill Prendergast's exceptional comic book: "False Witness! The Michele Bachmann Story (Volume 3)"!!!
The Bachmann MotorMouth Overdrive quote I read, is below the fold!
And one question we asked Toni, State Coordinator for the Minnesota Tea Party Patriots was submitted via comment here, on MPP - here's that question!
I'd ask....
If the Tea Party guy actually realized the real Tea Partiers were protesting a tax CUT. The tea partiers were actually protesting the take over by a multi-national corporation, the British East India company. The tax cut made tea super cheap, allowing the British East India (Walmart) the ability to undercut all the American merchants.
So, I would ask the Tea Party guy if he is just as afraid of the corporate take over of America as he is of the government take over.
Thanks,
Alec
Well, thank YOU for submitting that question, Alec!!!
Also, LTC (Ret.) Joe Repya discussed his candidacy for Governor, and clarified that there is a big difference between "suspend" and "end" - and for the record, Colonel Repya has "suspended" his campaign.
