"Aaaghrrghhaarghh!"

I'm pretty sure if anyone has been choking the ability of the private sector to provide jobs, it's been the corporate sector working closely with the government to move all manufacturing (i.e. 75% of jobs betweeen 30k and 65k a year) to China and Mexico over the past 20 years, hmm? What is Emmer's stance on NAFTA, GAFTA, and Wal-Mart?

I liked Emmer's comment "The aging population is the reason for no new jobs in northern Minnesota". Wha...?

Hey, if everybody would just get on board and squirt out a couple more kids, then we will have a great economy in about 16-25 years! 

Oh, and old people should just die because they are only a drain on the economy. Right Jeno?

Maybe Emmer should move the flag he wraps himself in a little upward so that it covers his mouth too.

I rather liked Emmer's statement that we needed to "cut taxes *then* cut spending."

If you read between the lines, and take it for what he really means you get "cut taxes so we'll have no choice but to cut spending."

Looking beyond this dog and pony show, to statements that Emmer has made in the past regarding things like minimum wage, anyone who works an hourly wage and has half a brain should definitely not be voting for this guy.  Wage standards are set by the federal government, and that's something he can't control but there's a lot he can on a state level that will not bode well for us if he chooses to exercise them.

Emmer is bad news.  He is pretty much the male version of Michele Bachmann.

Here is quote from a crazy, far-right bill he co-authored and proposed to the MN legislature... 

"A federal law does not apply in Minnesota unless that law is approved by a two-thirds vote of the members of each house of the legislature and is signed by the governor. Before voting to approve a federal law, each legislator must individually affirm that the legislator has read the federal law and understands it."  

Emmer would be shocked to find that this bill would require the rejection of his beloved Patriot Act, since it is unlikely that 2/3 of the MN legislature would read all of its 340 pages and then approve it.

Emmer also co-authored a bill requiring MN students to learn about the "American or Minnesota state history or heritage based on religious references."  

Emmer would be shocked to find that this bill might require the teaching of deism to students, and might not require the teaching of Emmer's conservative brand of catholicism.

And Emmer recently donated money to Bradlee Dean's anti-gay group, which advocated for the execution of homosexuals.  I just cannot believe this nut has a chance to be governor in our beloved state.
