Reason #1<\/strong>: \u00a0She lied about her business background<\/strong>. \u00a0 Her ads make her sound like some kind of entrepreneur. \u00a0In fact, she’s a “Human Resources” executive. \u00a0Now, God love all you HR people in the audience, but Human Resources is the exact opposite of entrepreneurship. \u00a0Fully-implemented HR processes are a leash around business’ neck, ready for government to yank. \u00a0And while I’m sure none of\u00a0you\u00a0<\/em>HR people in my audience are like this, far too many are utterly worthless.<\/p>\n

Reason #2: \u00a0She’s a lying pig,\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>and voting for her would validate all that is slimy and stupid about American politics<\/a>. \u00a0A vote against Craig – no matter who the opponent – is a vote against the basest, most rotten aspects of politics today.<\/p>\n

Reason #3: \u00a0Her opponent\u00a0<\/strong>is the father of modern Minnesota conservatism. \u00a0Jason Lewis has a 30 year record of putting his principles out there; walking back from ’em would be very, very hard – and, I suspect, anathema to him. \u00a0Add to that the fact – which I’ve already mentioned, but bears repeating as often as possible between now and election day – that Angie Craig is a lying pig who represents everything that is vile and pustulent about American politics today<\/a> – and the choice is clear.<\/p>\n
