I’ll betcha at least 3 ‘Progressives’ among them take the LRT to the airport to check out the ‘Larry Craig Restroom.’

Thanks to her bright light and her stewardship from Sviggy we learned that Republicans never ever touch a drop of alcohol. We even got a tour of State Office Building fridges… it was fascinating!

Watch the FOX 9 Investigators as they go undercover to explore just who is the biggest MN DFL Asshat!

The bill DFLiars passed raised taxes $5 Billion and had almost nothing to do with roads and bridges. It was a suck off to the socialist special interests, nothing more.

BTW — in all the lynch mob hysteria of the DFL around Monalou, no one bothers to realize that the last two seasons saw more road construction and improvement initiatives than had taken place in the previous 5 years combined. … maybe that’s because by appointing the LT. Governor to oversee MnDOT, transportation issues, for the first time had a direct line to the governor’s office. Pawlenty made it a priority.

You sure like to hand out asshats, too bad the real asshat army is in your own party. You need better insults, asshat is too close to Foghat, which probably would be a bigger insult.

DFL legislators have been pushing both transit and roads (as have some Republicans). They passed a package that included increasing funding for both areas, only to have it vetoed repeatedly by the Governor. The transit money that has been approved has come by and large by the general fund and has been approved by two non-DFL governors.

As for the DFL holding the pursestrings I suggest you look at the last time the DFL held the Governors office. You have to do a little better then that.

The DFL has held the purse strings for many, many years and the blame sits squarely with them 100%!!

Freddy, let me know when you actually can prove any of the drivel that comes out of you.

Now go lay by your dish!

Lack of action??? Can you explain this outrageous accusation?

The Pawlenty-Molnau administration has funded three record years in a row of road and bridge projects. If that isn’t action, I don’t know what is.

Nearly all transit money allocated from the state has come from the general fund and not the transportation fund. We have also had 2 Governors who are not Democrats support major transit projects.

Your argument is hollow.

The bus lines work just fine, no LRT needed.

And yes you asshat, the DFL has been ear marking and playing games to get the funds from roads over to transit and have been doing so for years.

There should be no doubt in anyones mind that the bridge incident is 100% owned by the local DFL and their want of transit over roads.

-The Feds always set a certain amount aside for transit, so if the money was not spent here it would have been spent in some other city.

“It’s obvious that the DFL funds transit at the expense of roads in order to appease the people that vote for them.”

-This argument is baloney, are you saying Minneapolis would vote Republican if they didn’t have LRT?

Not to mention that nearly all the suburbs strongly support getting LRT or commuter rail into their areas. Are you agruing that the DFL controls all the suburbs? Damn, you guys have really fallen on hard times haven’t you!

I’m glad McClung slapped him around.

You’re either severly uninformed or you’re not telling the truth. The truth is that 2006 was the biggest road and bridge construction year in Minnesota history. 2005 was the second biggest road and bridge construction year in Minnesota history. And 2004 was the third biggest road and bridge construction year in Minnesota history. The Ventura administration took a hundred million a year out of transportation and built the train to nowhere.

It’s a toss-up between Pogemiller and Senator Murphy as to who sounds more like a pouting, whining 5 year old.

My apologies to all the 5 year olds reading this.

I consider myself a moderate, and I am embarrassed for the leadership in the house and senate. They ran around after the session – at least in my local newspapers – bragging that they got their work done on time. Apparently they did not get their work done at all if the DFL leaders keep begging for a special session.

We are in dire need for a serious investment in roads and the DFL continues to piss money away on trains. When a problem with the roads comes up the DFL immediately claims they need to raise taxes to pay for it. If they wanted to do the right thing they would take that train money and out it into roads.

Or maybe less money on bike trails, Mr. Oberstar.

Where do the feds get their transit money? Out of the federal gas tax. Robbing roads to pay for transit.

The new state MVST dedication will do the same, with a 40% floor for transit.

Stop the spin, please.

Sometimes I wish I had the drugs you people take.

Lokel, we have had road issues for far more years than Pawlenty, you know as well as I do that is it our local DFL who starved the the transpotation department so they could fund mass transit.
