A commentary in the Sunday section by a member of the editorial board - D.J. Tice

Liberals, a larger force for polarization? Hey, survey says.

The "report" is so biased and makes no sense that one has to wonder.

By the way, Tice has been promoted several months ago to have his own contribution on Sundays.

1. What claptrap.

2. Democrats Gone Liberal.

We're at a crossroad here. As a unified party on a moderate platform we can keep the power left of center. As a split party run by liberals we're doomed to secede power back to an ever increasing right of center GOP. It's high time we realize just how out of whack the party has become before it's too late.

3. Welcome corporate MN Dem, we needed some controversy here. It has been dull lately.

Minnesota the state that works, (under liberal Democrats.)

4. Thanks.

Our corporate tax rate is driving quality companies out of state.

5. Yet Forbes listed Minnesota as the 3rd best state to do business in.

Go figure.

6. Why settle.

Let's be the best by bringing more businesses to Minnesota. Right now we are driving them away.

7. Perhaps you can site a source about how business is being "driven away"

because if that were true, I doubt Minnesota would have made it to three on Forbes list.

8. How do they account for the Tea Party?

Republican politics are driven by teabaggers, people who used to be considered fringe lunatics not too long ago and mostly ignored.
If anything, the Democrats have shifted slightly to the right but no one can say more people are more liberal than 20 years ago.
Although that may be to what he refers here:

That it is mainly Republicans, not Democrats, who are battling among themselves today suggests that the GOP’s dogma is the less stable and settled one.

And let's talk about the left-wing equivalent of Fox News. No, not MSNBC - I am talking about a house organ that just plain makes shit up.

Something really smells here.
