The District 49B GOP continued the revolt againt the Sturdevant Republicans.<\/p>\n

After denying endorsement to RINO Kathy Tingelstad last month, the district GOP endorsed an actual conservative.<\/p>\n

Brad Carlson was there<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Cimenski was voted the nominee over two other prospective candidates in our House District’s nominating convention this morning. In an impassioned nomination speech, he vowed to embrace the core conservative principles of the GOP which were abandoned by the likes of Rep. Tingelstad, who herself was in the audience. In fact, Tingelstad received verbal daggers from all three prospective nominees for her vote to override Governor Tim Pawlenty’s veto of the Transportation bill. There is no question that the citizens in 49B are still smarting from that vote.<\/p>\n

In continuing his speech, Cimenski talked of returning public service to the grassroots level.

I don’t believe in this idea that you have to choose a Republican candidate to endorse who’s so-called “more electable”, even if they’re not most in line with the platform. This is what has happened to our party the past eight years, and look where we are now.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And you can’t go wrong in a room full of conservatives if you occasionally invoke the philosophy of our finest President<\/p>\n

If I may borrow a quote from Ronald Reagan and put a Minnesota twist on it: We don’t have a $935 million deficit because we haven’t taxed enough; we have a $935 million dollar deficit because we spend too much.<\/em><\/em><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Brad notes that the DFL is going to fight like hell to pick up this district – and if they do, they’ll consider it a validation of the idea that Republicans should go back to the bad old days, before 1998, where the part stuffered from Stockholm Syndrome and were largely only DFLers with better suits.<\/p>\n

So it’s time to fight like hell right back.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
