Ron Carey is so cute!

Ron Carey, chairman of the Minnesota Republican Party, doesn't seem to be listening to the words that are coming out of his mouth. After Amy Klobuchar was endorsed, he said a few things obviously trying to hurt her; funny thing is, all his statement does is make Mark Kennedy look out of touch.

Klobuchar "supports government controlled health care"...which is exactly what an independent citizen panel says, although 23,000 people from all 50 states could be wrong.

She supports "tax increases"...or, in other words, perhaps injecting some fiscal discipline into Congress and paying for the things that people want, like Big Bird (will Republicans never learn?), instead of running up endless deficits.

She supports "cutting and running in Iraq"...the war that the majority of people in this country think is a mistake, and one where continued American presence seems to do nothing to better the security situation, and only results in more death for our troops and Iraqi civilians.

On the other hand, Mark Kennedy supports doing nothing to guarantee health care for everybody, loves President Bush's budget priorities and ongoing deficits, and thinks that we should just stay the course in Iraq, for who knows how long (does he support permanent bases in Iraq?). Good old Mark Kennedy: out of the mainstream.
