She Put The “Nanny” In Nannystate
By Mitch Berg
Mary Jo McGuire won the SD66 DFL primary last night.
And she won it big – 54-37, in an election that was pretty sharply geographically divided; in a primary battle that was fought out between packs of union and special interest supporters, McGuire, who used to represent part of the area in the Legislature, dominated the tony Como Park and teacher-and-oldster-chocked Midway neighborhoods that make up 66B with crushing majorities. Lesch, the incumbent in 66A, also dominated his turf – parts of Wards 5 and 6, on the North End and East Side – but with lower margins.
And so the voters in SD66 have a choice to make; between GOP-endorsed Greg Copeland, a guy who’s actually done something to make government work better, and an Ivy-League special interest-mongering attorney and “Community Organizer” whose entire career screams “Listen to your betters, peasants!”.
I’ll be writing about this choice in the coming week and six days.

“Listen to your betters, peasants!” Vote Republican.
That is all.

That is Kermit, the voice of the corporte puppeteers, ordering people to submit to big business, which has pretty much bought and paid for the conservatives.
Kinda like the voice of Oz, Kerm.
But congratulations on the primary win of you candidate Mitch…. but wasn’t this a waste of your considerable talents as a communications director, given he appears to have run unopposed?
I shall applaud for you to succeed (you, not the candidate), as always!

“That is Kermit, the voice of the corporte puppeteers, ordering people to submit to big business, which has pretty much bought and paid for the conservatives.”
Doggy, every time we think that you have posted the most ignorant comments ever, you set a new standard for stupidity! You liberat moochers and your elected enablers, are no better than slave owners. You need to make sure that twits like you keep believing in their economic fantasy world to keep them in office.

Kinda like the voice of Oz, Kerm.
Or the voice of George Soros. I trust Oz more. He doesn’t want to destroy my country.
And “corporate puppteers”? Like Jeffy Immelt, the CEO of General Electric who made $43 BILLION and paid zero US taxes because he’s a buddy of Obama? Is that who you mean, Dog?

Care to back that up with any “facts”? Where intercranial voices are not equal to “facts”, of course.

You would have thought that if Obama was going to appoint a “jobs czar”, he would pick someone who actually, you know, created a job or two in his time.
The Immelt appointment was like the visit Obama paid to Jobs, Zuckerberg, Schmidt, et alia last month. The idea wasn’t for Obama to learn anything from these people, it was to get them onboard Obama’s program. This is what corporatism looks like.

That is Dog, phoning it in. Although it’s more concise baked wind than usual. That’s something.

Ah yes…when DFL libtards like Doggie have a chance to elect a candidate that actually might bring some NEW ideas to Saint Paul, they vote for a has-been retread from a decade ago.
This is the Minnesota DFL. Continuing to replay history in the hopes that one time…they can get it right.

BARF!

And Dog Gone comes back to defend her rather moronic comment in…
Ah, who am I kidding? She’ll never defend her moronic comments.

No matter how Copeland does, the sweet ass beating Lesch took last night makes this a WIN. No kidding, what a fucking scumbag
He a relation of yours, Deegee?

Penigma’s Shizhu said:”But congratulations on the primary win of you candidate Mitch…. but wasn’t this a waste of your considerable talents as a communications director, given he appears to have run unopposed?
Didn’t Mitch specifically say, oh yesterday, that the people on the right could enjoy margaritas last night while people on the left would need to choose their candidate? Maybe he said it Sunday and not yesterday.
….Anyone hear a small dog yipping?

Don’t hold your breath, Loren. Dog doesn’t do that nasty “dialog” thing.
March 30th, 2011 at 4:24 pm
Kermit, if you go to Dog’s site I am certain that she will dialog with you.
However, you will be asked to prove negative propositions and you will have to explain to her the meaning of equivocation, false attribution, and post hoc ergo propter hoc. And you will have to explain their meaning, over and over and over again.

Several reasons why I never visit Penigma. I also have to preserve as many brain cells as possible.
