A HISTORY OF FRIENDLY FIRE FROM JANECEK
Sarah Janecek has a long history of bashing Republicans in the media and today's attacks should be added to her list.
Said Durenburger "Has A Huge Liability":
"'He's done a terrific job as a senator, but he has a huge liability,' said Sarah Janecek, a well-known lobbyist and IR activist from Minneapolis. 'It's time for someone else to run. [A Durenberger candidacy] would be handing the Democrats the seat. A lot of people think this but few are willing to say it.'" Source: Star Tribune, October 10, 1992
Says Gutknect's Opponent in '94 "Fits The District Well":
"In any other year, according to IR political strategist Sarah Janecek, [John] Hottinger would be a formidable candidate. 'He's a good legislator, he fits the district well, and he's got Tim Penny's endorsement.'" Source: Star Tribune, October 31, 1994
Says Kline is "Desperate for Media Attention":
"Republican strategist Sarah Janecek isn't sure how Kline's call for Clinton's resignation will play: 'I'm still at a loss. But one reason he did it is because he was desperate for media attention.'" Source: Star Tribune, October 17, 1998
Thinks Young Voters "Are Going Bush-Dayton" in 2000:
"Sarah Janecek, a longtime Republican activist and coeditor of the newsletter Politics in Minnesota, said she is hearing from many Republican legislative candidates that Grams is still lagging far behind Dayton in their districts. Janecek added that she thinks 'an amazing number of younger voters are going Bush-Dayton.'" Source: Star Tribune, November 2, 2000
Says Jason Lewis is "Much Too Conservative For Me":
"'He's much too conservative for me,' says Sarah Janecek, a Republican and a co-editor of Politics in Minnesota newsletter. 'But there is a place for people who try to be ideologically pure like Jason. It's good radio and gets people going.'" Source: Pioneer Press, November 12, 2000
Likes Amy Klobuchar:
"'I've known Amy for many years, and I like her,' said Sarah Janecek, a Republican, lobbyist and co-editor of Politics in Minnesota. 'She had the good fortune to beat Sheryl Ramstad, and she has the good fortune to be Hennepin County attorney at a time when there are a lot of very high-profile crimes.'" Source: Star Tribune, August 31, 2003
Criticized Bush for Slow Reaction to 9/11 Attacks:
"So tell me: What do you think is the most damning part of the film ['Fahrenheit 9/11.']?
SJ [Sarah Janecek]: The most damning is the most compelling: The seven minutes that Bush stays in the Florida classroom reading "My Pet Goat" after being told a second plane had hit the World Trade Center." Source: Star Tribune, July 18, 2004
Called Jim Oberstar "One of The State's Best Politicians":
"'Jim Oberstar is one of the state's best politicians,' said Sarah Janecek, the Republican coeditor of Politics in Minnesota. 'He's great with the grass-roots, but he's also the ultimate Washington insider. He inherited a machine, and he's grown it.'" Source: Star Tribune, October 12, 2004
Said Wetterling Was "By Far The Best Choice" in the 6th Congressional District:
"'In a Republican district like the 6th, she was by far the best choice,' said Sarah Janecek, a Republican lobbyist and co-editor of the Politics in Minnesota newsletter. 'The appeal there is that Patty Wetterling has lived every suburban mom's nightmare.'" Source: Associated Press, October 14, 2004

How much has Sarah carried water for Republicans for policies that she really didn't personally agree with? I've seen her do that alot.
This is just ad hominem argument - when you don't like what someone says, attack the person, rather than the argument.
The Republican party needs to be about moderates AND conservatives.... I also found it interesting that you were after about something she said about Durenburger. Now Durenburger is persona non grata with the base.
Thank you! I wondered when Republicans were going to notice Sappy Sarah who claims to be Republican on the basis of occasional comments on national security. I've noticed her subtle effort to establish her own ideology (certain candidates are a "good fit") and emolliate the right's ideology for many years. I like how she throws in pro life Oberstar just for good measure so we can't say she is pro choice, even though Oberstar is the only pro life dem she has annointed like this

Now Durenburger is persona non grata with the base.
I like Dave and I'm part of "the base".
Sara wouldn't even be considered a Conservative Democrat in Tennessee. I couldn't listen to her when she was on the radio.
Nice photo Toni- Grrrwow!
John, that was 1992 after the mess in Washington and the early shifts of moderates like Dave, Gene Taylor and George Pillsbury losing control to the rising conservative movement.
Sara is Blois Olson's business partner. They way you guys feel about her, is the way we feel about Blois. I'll trade you.
