So it’s now “vicious” to point out Erik Paulsen’s votes?
The only vicious thing here is that Paulsen voted to fund a golf course instead of benefits for National Guardsmen.
Telling voters about Paulsen’s priorities is just telling the truth, not smearing him.
I’m looking into my crystal ball and seeing that it’s going to be called “vicious” when people point out that Paulsen has voted to support teaching Creationism in public schools, and that he has voted to prevent stem cell research.

You are rolling out some veterans (and some random former republican state legislator) to say random YouTubers shouldn’t be allowed to post clips of Paulsen in debates?
This will be a hoot.

Former legislator responds to lipstick “smear”? Beware of “vicious” pit bull?
One GOP candidate wants to demonstrate how vicious and tough she is.

Wah! Wah! Wah!

Wow! Bill Haas? That must be one tough get. Did you have to cover his bus fare?

Gee – a 1400 hours presser, posted at 1355.
Thanks for the heads-up, Michael.

“Telling voters about Paulsen’s priorities is just telling the truth”
Sure, and telling voters that Barak Obama voted several times to deny medical care to children who survived abortion procedures is also JUST TELLING THE TRUTH.

The premise of the adds, that Paulsen voted against the veteran’s bills but instead voted for a golf course is a “Straw Man” argument.The votes are not an either/or choice, nor do we know the reason why he voted against a particular bill.However,I have to admit that with the budget problems this state has we should not be building golf courses

Exactly! If Paulsen would just answer some simple questions asked by Madia and others about his votes, we could more easily identify who he really is….He is not a Moderate that has worked across the aisle in a bipartisan fashion (ask some Dem’s that know him). The facts are that he voted against a number of bills that would have benefitted regular Minnesotans (education funding…largest cut ever, transportation…voted against a bill to fix our aging infrastructure and supported by the Chamber’s of Commerce, etc. His idea of balancing the budget was to use accounting shifts and massive increases in fees and property taxes and then bravely taking credit for solving our financial problems….are we better off today than we were when Eric Paulsen went to work for the State…I think not! He is not the man I want representing me in Congress…Madia is! If you don’t like what you’ve seen in two years, then find somebody better…I find it hard to believe he’s the “best” you could come up with for the 3rd…certainly no Jim Ramstad.

So – how did it all go? Did this press conference get any momentum going for the Paulsen campaign?
