Nevermind

Despite Andrew Sullivan's argument yesterday as to why so many more gays might be Republican if the party weren't antagonistic to us, I was reminded last night of the many other reasons I can't "do" Republican (in any sense of the word).

This reminder came from CityPage's article on the "new" Tim Pawlenty, governor of our fair state of Minnesota. The article details how Gov. Pawlenty continues to gut medical care for the poor, education in the areas of the State that need it most (special education and inner-city, heavily minority areas), and the transportation needs of the state. All the while smiling and claiming that he isn't doing any of it.

One more black mark for the Republican record as far as I'm concerned.

I just read your post about Hillary Clinton...without getting into it, she could do what Gov. Pawlenty is apparently not doing for healthcare/education/poor...just a thought?
