MN GOP STATEMENT ON MARK DAYTON’S POTENTIAL GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDACY
By Michael B. Brodkorb | January 3, 2007
St. Paul – Republican Party of Minnesota Chairman Ron Carey today issued the following statement regarding Mark Dayton's potential gubernatorial candidacy.
"Mark Dayton has received national recognition by Time magazine as one of 'America's Worst Senators' and has himself acknowledged that he deserved an 'F' for his ineffectiveness in the U.S. Senate. With a track record like that, I find it beyond belief that Mark Dayton would think he has what it takes to be our governor."

So off topic
Keith Ellison will take oath of office upon Thomas Jefferson’s copy of the Quaron.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/01/03/AR2007010300075_pf.html
Now for Dayton – He needs to get out of public office and never return. Good intentions are not enough.

Is he looking to replace Perpich as “Governor Goofy”?
January 3rd, 2007 at 1:34 pm
San, That article is a great example of dishonesty in journalism.
Jefferson collected books in order to create the Library of Congress.
January 3rd, 2007 at 2:17 pm
It may be journalist dishonisty, but a great political move by Ellison.
The MSM will eat this up.
I would not underestimate him.

It does not matter what it is, only what it looks like.
Furthermore, anyone who criticizes Rep. Ellison’s decision to take the oath on the Koran is Un-American and should be deported to Iran.
I did not vote for Ellison, in fact I voted for myself, but I must defend his religious freedoms. That is what the Framers would do.
This nation was founded on religious freedoms and by criticizing his move to take the oath on the Koran only makes the claim that one wishes there was a law or requirment for officials to swear upon the bible.
I wish all elected officials would swear upon the Consititution, it is a great document than the bible.
January 3rd, 2007 at 3:43 pm
I should learn how to write.
“It is a greater document than the bible”
And yes I understand that with that statment I am just like Rep. Virgil (I am afraid everything) Goode, calling for Ellison to not take the oath of the Koran.

RamseyRep –
Jefferson sold his book collection to restock the Library of Congress. Meaning, he had collected to book personally and then sold it to the LOC. So, he did value the book. And then thought it important enough to the Nationa that it should be in the LOC.

You are starting to see why he’s such a con man.
Furthermore, anyone who criticizes Rep. Ellison’s decision to take the oath on the Koran is Un-American and should be deported to Iran.
So the act of believing Ellison is wrong – just having a differing opinion – is “Un-American” and one should be deported for it.
Talk about “un-American”.
What is “un-American” is the unwillingness of the MSM (and liberals in general) to question why a Congressman is willing to take their oath of office on a book that calls for beheading anyone who ISN’T one of them, a book that calls for beating of woman (demands it, in fact) and calls for any Muslim to not take Christians or Jews as friends.
He has every right to do what he’s doing, but we have a right to question the sanity of someone who’d swear based on such commandments.
January 3rd, 2007 at 4:40 pm
May I comment ON- topic? Why is anyone concerned about who will run for governor in 2010? It isn’t even worth the time to think about it, is it?
January 3rd, 2007 at 5:50 pm
I do not care if you disagree with his political views…hell I do, thats why I did not vote for him.
What is un-american is the uproar about him taking the oath on a book other than the bible.
To even question the act is wrong. Question his beliefs all you want but, the act of questioning him taking the oath on a book of his chosing is un-american. He has the freedom to do as he pleases and Conservatives just can’t get over that.
MSM, Main Street Media – Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannit fall into the same category. When you have over 20 million listeners week you are mainstream, as well as drive-by.
Don’t buy into the BS about the conservative media being any less than that of the “old” media. They reach the same amount of people ona daily basis.

The bible allows you to beat your wife, your children and your slaves. Give me a break. The bible also OK’s the stoning of farmers who grow more than one type of crop from their soil. I can’t beleive their using it to swear to uphold a constitution which condones freedom for all.
January 3rd, 2007 at 6:29 pm
I don’t understand how you can completely ignore the fact that he wants to take his /second/ oath on a book that contradicts the Constitution. If he wanted to take his oath on Mein Kampf or the Communist Manifesto, or Mao’s little Red Book, would that not be a cause of concern? His religion isn’t the issue. It is a question as to how he can uphold an oath when he swears on a book contradicting it.
January 3rd, 2007 at 7:08 pm
The bible contradicts the Constitution as well…
How can you swear upon a book like the bible…Slavery, Communism, Stoning
The point is not can he uphold his office. You missed it.
The point is, men in America have the freedom to do whatever they damn well please. If you want to swear upon Mien Kampf go ahead, as long as you defend the Constitution of the United States of America.
People pick and chose what they want to believe in from certain religious text, the same may be for Ellison as well; I don’t know.
He has yet to serve a full day in the House and already labeled someone who cannot hold up the consititution. Come back in two years and make that judgment.
The Framers created the great Republic for people to live free of those who brought judgment based on religion. They were right.
January 3rd, 2007 at 9:29 pm
While I have no doubt Ellison will be reckless from time to time, there is no indication from his service in Minnesota that his religion will be the cause. That can not be said for all of Minnesota’s incoming members of congress.

You show your ignorance of the bible, my friend.
The bible allows you to beat your wife, your children and your slaves.
So do you.
Give me a break.
No, I will not. Not for such ignorance.
No Christian church on the planet preaches that it’s okay to stone anyone or beat your wife. Every mosque, however, DOES preach that the Koran comes before the constitution, that beheading is what comes to those who don’t believe as they do and that each Muslim should not be friends with Christians or Jews.
I love when liberals defend the indefensible. It’s even better when their “tolerance” of this is done at their own peril. Utter ignorance.
January 4th, 2007 at 8:26 am
Good point, Mr. Grimes. Would it be fair, though, to say that if his “detours from common sense” are consistent with his religion that we could suggest that as the “cause” of his manifold sins against the Constitution? Prejudice is one thing, a critical assessment of past conduct is quite another even if you get the same answer.
January 4th, 2007 at 9:20 am
What is in the bible is there, the church only choses to ignore it…
I am sure the church believes the bible is a greater work of man than that of the constitution, which it is not.
You have made my point for me, thanks!
You show your ignorance towards the Koran. Not all Mosques preach such, I don’t doubt many do. Blanket statments are staple of Conservative knon-nothing politcs.
Seriously, do you just make up fake arguements from other people to prove your point. Where the hell did “tolerance” come from. Stick to the point, you sound like a moron.
-But are Mr. Ellisons flaws rooted in his religion or are they a trait of his personality and arrogance. You can seperate the two.

“Every mosque, however, DOES preach that the Koran comes before the constitution, that beheading is what comes to those who don’t believe as they do and that each Muslim should not be friends with Christians or Jews.”-BigJC
Thanks Big.
No church practices that part of the bible but, if you’re saying that the Christian Church does not put the bible over the constitution, you’re either lying or do not know what it means to be a Christian. Nothing comes before the word of G-d. Nothing is above it. The bible is the word of G-d without question. Therefore, for practicing Christians, its the first and final word. Also, the bible discourages strongly that you avoid developing relationships with non-beleivers. You cannot be unevenly yoked.
You must have gone to some weak affiliation, or never been to a service to try to put that one out there. Or, maybe you’re so partisan that you’ll lie about the word of G_d to get your point across.

GOD…
Here is the deal. Not all Mosques preach that those who do not believe must be beheaded. I am just making an assumption there, just like the assumption that they all do.
As for God and his bible, churches chose to ignore certain teachings and statements in the bible due to the times we live in. Same with the Koran.
-It is a religion from the sword but there are those who chose to ignore that. Just like Christians turn a blind eye to the COMMUNIST teachings of Jesus.
Furthermore, The Constitution is real. Real men wrote. They did not hear voices that told them to do so. It was based on reality and right. Thus a greater document.
The bible is a nice teaching on how one ought to act and how one ought to conduct themselves in society. Plato’s Republic does the same thing.
- It is not that I did or did not go to church services or believe in GOD. My arguement is that you (Big) have made blanket generalizations of an entire religion. Same can be done to Christianity.
Wasn’t there once a Catholic Pope who I quote “Kill them all, GOD will sort it out” Urban, I believe.
-During the cruasades when the Catholic Armies decended upon a Muslim town that also had Christians living it.
Both religions have/are done terrible things to man. One advanced and the other did not, but that does not mean there are those within the religion who have moved passed the bloody teachings and history.

San Soucri, somehow, you’ve plumbed new depths for the stupidity and ignorance displayed by liberals on this board. I think you just might be more stupid and pathetic than Brian Hanna.
Congrats…
January 5th, 2007 at 9:58 am
Yes, Kyle great comeback.
I think there is still time for your mother to wrap a clothes hanger around your neck and a get the procedure done right this time.
Come back when you actually have a rerort.
