Gov. Tim Pawlenty, Mulling 2012 White House Run, Is Stepping Up His Game

I'm here in MN, and with Tim Pawlenty, you get Pawlenty of NOTHING when it comes to governing! You would get Pawlenty of tax cuts for the wealthy bringing us Pawlenty more debt, bringing us into depression, and probably bankruptcy! More interstate freeways would collapse, just as our I35W did, as less and less money is spent on any infrastructure in this country. There'd be no badly needed investment in anything, including education, new energy technology. The progress Obama brought to the healthcare system would be reversed, and millions would lose healthcare, and costs would skyrocket, while companies drop coverage completely. Social programs, even ones that everybody loves, would collapse and be dismantled. This includes social security and Medicare. This country would go to the ash heap of history

Romney and Jinhdal in 2010. Please stay home Governor Tim

There is so much effort to position oneself in American politics to run for the Presidency or even State seats that we see as in this article that the Governor is working now to possibly get elected to a job that will not have an "opening" for more than 2 years. The time and money spent in this manner is mind-boggling to people from other countries. I work with British Nationals. When Gordon Brown decided to step down, he announced he was dissolving Parliment, and there would be an election to choose his successor...IN 30 DAYS!!...the funny thing is...in that short period of time, the British people were introduced or re-introduced to the candidates who wanted to run for the Prime Minister's job or to run for the Member of Parliment jobs of representing their local constituents and lo and behold, the election took place...one would assume the people elected reflected the choices of the electorate and the only loosers were the media/advertising organizations that did not reap millions and millions of pounds in pre-election run up campaigns like those in America do. The up-side for the British people was that sitting politicians, with such short notice focused on getting their message across, but did not have time for back-door/behind-closed-doors "deals" giving other politicians and voters "bribes" to buy their votes. I was taught "keep it simple" (even if this comment appears very long-winded). Why can't American elections be short and sweet? Any voter who, when presented with the facts by a candidate over a 30 day period, says he/she didn't have time or enough input to make a rational decision is really saying there was not enough time for my city/my group to receive bribe offers, or they are so dim-witted that they don't deserve the right to vote.

Another right wing extremest that wants his relegious views be mine.. NO THANKS

Hey everyone who now misses Bush give me a thumbs up!!!!!

Pawlenty in 2012!!!!!!!

Well, Obama ran on a platform for "Change" -- and he made good on his word -- because plenty has changed for people who were employed before he was elected -- and now they only have "loose change" left in their pockets.
I, for one, am tired of hearing Obama, Pelosi, and Reid continue to blame Bush for the current state of affairs. You told us two years ago you would change things for the better -- and so far you have only made them worse.
With the authority to make things happen comes the responsibility of accepting the consequences. Grow up and accept the responsibility for your actions to date and focus on making things better for this country.

Newt is the only real solution. He is the only one smart enough to bring us back from Obama the way Reagan did from Carter. Only Obama is turning out to be far worse than Carter.....

Just what we need Bush!
PLAY BY DAY.
Our Planet needs to be at 350 Parts per million CO2. To survive
We are at 392.04.
NOAA said this is the hottest land and ocean temp since they have been recording.
Republicans have stopped all attempts to control Pollution.
I say PLAY BY DAY We can cut back on heavy CO2 If we can cut back 50% of all night games.
Support Big oil or the Democratic party!

We need to change the " JOB DESCRIPTION " Candidates should be asked prior to " WOULD YOU WORK FOR $ 1.00 PER YEAR " if our economy is not improving , same was asked GMs / CHRYSLERs CEOs by our spend thrift SENATORS ?

Would you accept SOCIAL SECURITY / MEDICARE as your PENSION / MEDICAL BENEFITS as PRESIDENT if elected ?

WOULD YOU WAIVE YOUR FEDERAL PENSION PLAN IN LIEU OF SOCIAL SECURITY ?

WOULD YOU TRAVEL ON CIVILIAN CARRIERS IN LIEU OF AIR FARCE ONE , UTILIZING FREQUENT FLIER MILES to cut back on TRAVEL COST PAID BY TAXPAYERS ?

All else is useless as we all know the promise us the MOON and after they are in OFFICE THE LEAD US INTO DOOM .
