Please show me one example where my “talking points” are duplicitive with the sites you list.

Thank you,

Entenza specifically has mentioned the Student Loan program in his speeches. Also, I believe that if Mac offered any type of federal financial aid to its students then they had to require proof of selective service registration for all Fin Aid recipients.

In fact, there is a good possibility that the original letter was in part a response to this requirement.

(PS … I grew up in the area around Mac and find it hard to swallow that I am defending Mac. I still remember my Father arriving home absolutely steaming because he got caught in an Anti-Vietnam demo in his car on Grand Ave where it goes through Mac.)

I know it must be hard to understand the concept that just because Michael accuses a democrat of something, it isn’t automatically true, but I think you should work on that. The second lesson in my course of free thought is that just because you repeat something that Rush/Hannity/Pat Robertson said, doesn’t mean you are correct.

Roving Reporter has a point:

“If he recieved financial aid in college as was reported earlier in this thread, he HAD to have registered. The federal government will not grant any financial aid to people not registered with the selective service.”

Maybe it is time you admit there is no smoke to this fire

We know, of course, that we’ve never had someone get through the rigorous review process who had a lack of good character. Lawyers are all good people are heart, right?

NEXT TOPIC PLEASE.

And I don’t really have a problem with this as far as legal issues. I think instead this should be made public and the people of Minnesota can decide if a person with this background is someone they want in this office. For many, it will give them more of a reason to vote for him. For others, they’ll consider him a freedom freeloader.

Many of us worked full time (or close to it) through college and didn’t have time to spit on our armed forces. We weren’t like the typical Macalester student who had everthing handed to him his whole life.

It’s extremely unlikely that we’ll ever see another draft. But if something so catastrophic were to happen to this country to cause that, Entenza is saying that others should defend the freedom of the little spoiled Macalester kids.

I was at an Entenza deal last year, and he told us all that he went to college on Financial Aid.

Again, the issue is not if he was a draft dodger, but rather if he registered for selective service. One can not dodge a draft that is not happening.

Also, as waffletushie pointed out, he passed the bar, and its review process that checks into not only legal actions in a person’s past but also does character checks on them. I would have to believe that failure to register for the selective service would have gotten into his official record, and would have come up during this process.

On another point, as no proof has been offered that he did break the law, why is the responsibility on him to prove he didn’t break the law? Why not have the accusers do more then offer hollow words and toss insults?

I for one like the idea of an Attorney General willing to fight for what he/she perceives as an injustice against those he represents, even if the stand he/she is taking is not popular.

Rage against my allowance, man.

Please, MDE, keep the info coming that will continue to show how involved and articulate our leaders were in their college days.

Would you rather choose a leader who took a stand in their formative years or one who spent that time cheering at football games and doing keg stands, woman and cocaine.

First and foremost, this does make one wonder about Entenza’s own selective service record. He should clear that up if he doesn’t want ‘draft dodging’ issues to haunt his campaign the way the UnitedHealth Group issue is sure to.

Perhaps just as important, this calls into question Entenza’s judgment when it comes to the issue of following the law (lest we forget he is running to be our state’s top law enforcement agent).

If he has demonstrated a propensity to ignore important laws that he disagrees with, how can he be counted on to represent his client, the state of Minnesota, on other important issues he disagrees with?

I am anxious to see the way this develops.

There is nothing there that makes me think he is one of the non-registrants.

It looks like this is a college student (while there was no draft to dodge) standing up for his fellow students who he thinks will be arrested unjustly (in his eyes).

Whats wrong with that?

Oh wait….
