Can I call ’em or what?<\/p>\n

The DFL has turned its entire messaging operation over to the “Alliance For A Better Minnesota”, which – as we showed in 2010 – is owned and operated by the unions and “The 1%”, \u00a0liberal plutocrats<\/a>\u00a0with very deep pockets.<\/p>\n

In the 2010 campaign, they raised lying, disingenuity<\/a>, intellectual dishonesty<\/a> and cowardice to amazing new levels. They are testimony to the liberal ideal that the ends justify your means – and the only end that matters is gaining and retaining power. \u00a0Minnesota’s last gubernatorial election was swung entirely by the fact that ABM was able to find at least 8,000 Minnesotans who don’t read blogs and who took anything they heard from a mainstream media just would not, cou.<\/p>\n

There is one rule to remember when reading or watching any ABM production; they are padding the facts, bludgeoning context. \u00a0If they say it, it’s a lie – or at the very least, it’s wrong, and anyone who bothers to check knows it. \u00a0 If Denise Cardinal or Carrie Lucking (ABM’s current and former executive directors<\/del> stenos for Alita Messinger and Elliot Seid) tell you their names are Denise Cardinal and Carrie Lucking, double-check them. There is an oops buried in there somewhere. \u00a0Not sure how, but bank on it.<\/p>\n

Their ideal – and the mission for which they are so very well-paid – is to find the Big Lies that will spin the election, and tell them often enough so that just enough dim-witted and gullible Minnesotans buy it.<\/p>\n

And this blog’s mission in this coming election is to make sure everyone with a brain to think knows exactly what ABM is; the Big Lie Factory. \u00a0The DFL’s “Ministry Of Truth”<\/p>\n

It’s what passes for messaging in the DFL these days. \u00a0Bankrupt of any real ideas, it’s probably the best they can do.<\/p>\n

Can Minnesota do better?<\/p>\n

We’re 8,000 votes away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
