I am so sick of seeing Gov Pawlenty on News shows and never asked hard question.
I am not a true politico hack and I'm sure the ones that are could add more to my little list.
why do they keep bring him on and acting like he is a Moderate.
1. He is a tool of the GOP. Norm Coleman wanted to run for Gov, but Cheney said no, GOP wants Pawlenty as Governor and you as Senator.
2. Pawlenty was behind in the polls, Wellstone's plane goes down, and all Republican candidates win.
3. As State Majority Leader he refused to vote for tax dollars for transportation that would have matched Federal Funds toward "Transportation". As a result MN lost the money to pay for road and......... Bridges. GUESS WHAT The 35W Bridge fell down. *
4. At CPAC he said God helps him govern, on the same day he Veto's GAMC. which funds medical care for the very poor, sick, elderly and Veterans of MN. **
5. He used anticipate Federal Stimulus funds to balance his budget, then condemns the Stimulus funding.
**** GOV Pawlenty is a joke. He failed MN and he will fail US.

The MN House and Senate passed a bill to reprieve the poor, elderly and mentally ill from absentee Governor Tim Pawlenty's un-allotment of the healthcare they receive through General Assistance Medical Care (GAMC). This bill passed the House 125-9. 38 Republicans voted on Friday to protect the poorest and those least able to take care of themselves.
Of course, Pawlenty faxed in his veto from out of town (CPAC convention in Washington, DC). Now, these 38 are being pressured to hold Governor Teabags veto as his presidential ambitions are more important than Minnesota's poor, elderly and mentally ill.
* the cuts to GAMC which gives aid to cities and county will result in Minneapolis's Hennepin County Hospital that was able to provide Trauma care to those seriously injured from the 35W bridge collapse will have to close if there isn't funding.
Here is some local reporting on the Timmy the Tool:
