Aw hell naw!

Not this asshole again:

Tim Pawlenty announces run for Minnesota governor, again.

Pawlenty's long public record and most recent job as a bank lobbyist will give his opponents ammunition.

Is this guy for real?? Well, Minnesota doesn't have term limits for governor so, here we go again. Yet somehow they only ever end up serving one or two four-year terms; I would love it if Dayton would change his mind and run again, just to run against Mr. Rob from education and health care to pay (part of) the deficit here. The guy was the CEO of a bank lobby (Financial Services Roundtable) for fuck's sake!! Never mind his abysmal record as governor. The only good thing he did was pass the smoking ban in bars and restaurants. Still, nothing would surprise me any more these days.

Our primary is August 14th; the only candidate I like so far is Berniecrat Rebecca Otto. GO HOME TIM!!!

Sadly, yes he is. They're not even trying to hide their contempt for us anymore. When Obama gave jobs to the very people who set up the economic crisis, it was game over for all of us.

That lobbyists, heads of banks and congress members are able to go back and forth from their industries to congress or cabinet appointments, then it just proves that our government does not work for us. We've known that for some time, but we need to get others to see it too.

Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.

Twerp. Along with his evangelical wife.

Hey! my dear friends or soon-to-be's, JtC could use the donations to keep this site functioning for those of us who can still see the life preserver or flotsam in the water.

@riverlover

Too many in public service seem to actually be in self-service

Oh, the likes of Pawlenty believe in serving the public, all right:
