For all the left’s and media’s caterwauling about “bipartisanship”, Tom Emmer is the only candidate in the race who actually calls for it.<\/p>\n

Oh, Mark Dayton yaks about “reaching across the aisle”, but he showed that hand five years ago, when he told the world that his political opponents are, ironically, sick and depraved:

The DFL’s record of “bipartisanship” works like this; do everything they want without question, maybe they’ll say nice things about you. \u00a0There is no “bipartisanship” in the DFL; only power.<\/p>\n

How “bipartisan” is Mark Dayton going to be? \u00a0Look at the scorched-earth campaign his minions at Alliance for a “Better” Minnesota are running. \u00a0They don’t care who they insult, attack or destroy today<\/em>, because tomorrow they plan on governing absolutely, or not at all.<\/p>\n

As to Tom Horner? \u00a0His “bipartisanship” is like that of, say, Liechtenstein; with no legislative presence, and no propsect of any ever forming, the Independence Party needs to curry favor in a “bipartisan” manner with whomever they can – like any good hooker. \u00a0Horner – on the imponderably tiny chance he wins, and that’s something I just mention out of intellectual curiosity – will have to be “bipartisan” to have any influence at all. \u00a0Which is one of many reasons he’ll do well to finish with 10% of the vote.<\/p>\n

Emmer? \u00a0His is the only candidacy that has said, repeatedly, that this is go time for all <\/em>Minnesotans, of all political stripes. \u00a0He’s run a clean, idealistic campaign – because he knows every bridge he burns is one he’ll have to rebuild once it comes time to try to get this state working again. \u00a0Contrast that with Alliance for a Better Minnesota’s slimy, craven campaign of personal and group attacks. \u00a0Who do you <\/em>call “bipartisan” – or, to pick a much better word, who do you call “genuinely committed to bringing everyone to the table?<\/p>\n

Emmer is the candidate who is committed to making positive <\/em>change.<\/p>\n

Isn’t that what we need?<\/p>\n
