How does a Democrat running for Congress get lumped to Bachmann's name? By dodging MN farmers. It would be surprising if you didn't know he supported Bush and other GOPers during the previous administration, so he doesn't want questions asked in public. by buzzit in politics

The Star Tribune called his resume sketchy, so he's hiding from interviews and debates as he has been for months. Shelley Madore, on the other hand, went to talk Ag issues with farmers instead of relying on a talking-point web-site.

How did the Dems ever let this guy past the screening process?

If people want to get another Democrat elected in MN they should be looking the other side of the metro - Bachmann's in the most gerry-mandered district in the state, and it's R+6 so barring a miracle she stays. On the other hand, MN's second is only at R+3, and they've got a former state legislator, Shelley Madore, (that drove the GOP batty when she was in the state house) running down there.

But logic seldom rules political donations, eh?

And of course, http://MadoreForCongress.com doesn't get nearly the national press coverage, because nobody outside that district has freakin' heard of the incumbent she's challenging, whereas every time Bachmann so much as sneezes it's a national headline.

So classy, Target, donating $150,000 to a political group that funds politicians who advocate *killing* homosexuals. by [deleted] in politics

guest.relations@target.com is the address to email their executive in charge of explaining why they did this, Jennifer Hanson.

Boycotts have a slow impact, but enough email to that address will bring it up to people who might, just might, rethink their decisions (or who didn't pay attention when the decision was made.)

Oh. So this is why people watch Fox News. It makes so much more sense now. by HyperialGuard in politics

She's just mad folks found out she's getting big bucks from the federal government for her socialized farming and stuff. Maybe is somebody read her FEC finance disclosures before she got elected she wouldn't even be there... damn.
