Minnesota Unemployment Insurance SYSTEM is a Disaster OR We have a New Obstructionist Tool that Works Perfectly Saturday, November 17, 2007

I always think of my Dad when I get ready to blast Republicans. He is the only Republican - a true Conservative, that I can actually verify as a true conservative. Especially when the list of on going waste, repeated incompetence and searing apathy...point right at the fanatic Neo-con nest that hides within the Republican GOP. My Dad is fiscally responsible, waste not - want not and works (he still works!) equally and respectfully as hard as his employee's. I don't believe everything he believes about how government should run, but then again....

Take a page from Dad's life "True Conservative ideals counter balance True Liberal ideals." Otherwise, why did he marry a Democrat? Balance.

By the way, In my world Democrats don't get a free pass either.
