Besides guns, Gov stands for a lot of issues I support. That's why i support him.
Can you imagine our taxe rate if a Dem was in charge.
Until someone better comes along, Tim has my support

Can you imaging our tax rate if we had someone in the Gov's office with a backbone!

Perhaps. But for good or ill, WE elected the lege, and they are there to carry out OUR will. When Timmy thwarts them, we move that much closer to one-man rule.
Shades of Putin.

I don't know it may just have been good tactics by the DFL since they will be able to attack him on any of the cuts that will have to be made and this baggage would follow him especially in a national contest where these cuts can be taken out of context. Now if he was known as a person with a strong set of values and moral fortitude he could pull a John Wayne with a move like this but from what we have seen that's unlikely.

Shades of Putin. It would be nice if they carried out my will, which they don't.

Oh, but he is known as a person with a strong set of values- he values whatever he thinks will get him votes... </snark>

Just heard that Timmy will be having a press conference this afternoon at 2 to announce he won't seek a third term.

Wow, so I guess the GOP had better get on his tail to fix the reciprocity mess, unless they really <I>want</i> future fundraising calls to go like this: Quote: Caller: Hi! I'm calling on behalf of the MN GOP asking for your support during this critical juncture . . .
Me: I'm sorry, but I am not giving one thin dime to the GOP until Gov. Diversity keeps the promise that Gov. Pawlenty made in 2006.
Caller: But, but, but, Gov. Diversity is a Democrat!
Me: I do believe you are correct. Isn't it a shame that this problem wasn't fixed back when a Republican was governor. CLICK. ETA:

They started asking for $100 and each time I repeated the "Not until TPaw keeps his promise" mantra they dropped. $75, $50, $35, $25, *anything*?!? Each time I said the same thing: "I will be happy to donate to the party again as soon as . . ." I pointed out that it will be really hard to get a DFL gov. to fix the issue. I also pointed out that the gov's margin of victory was smaller than the number of permit holders, and that this is a serious credibility issue for the entire GOP in the state. The guy finally complained that he was just a regular guy volunteering, and that he would never get to speak to the gov to tell him my complaints. I suggested he mention it to his phone bank supervisor who would almost certainly be familiar with my complaint. He finally gave up and gave me the standard disclaimer about not being paid for by any particular candidate and hung up on me.

To be fair, I've been at the other end of these type of calls, and yeah, the caller won't be talking to TPaw and neither will the call bank supervisor.
