[MH]  AMEN! (as Jim Berg actively solicits funds for Mondale on this list)

Subject: [Mpls] Issue-oriented political discussion?

 

I am greatly disappointed in Eva's post here.  I'm sure there are

plenty of intelligent issues to discuss in the County Commissioner

races without getting into this kind of mudslinging.  I've deleted

most of Eva's post because we don't need to see it yet again. 

 

But, I guess we can't expect much better from the Republican

party, in which Eva is active.  That party ran an ad today

(which I heard on WCCO-AM) accusing Roger Moe of being soft

on crime, shortening sentences for murderers, drug dealers and

sex offenders.  That ad is completely, totally untrue.  If it WERE

true, it would be a huge issue, because as we know the city of

Minneapolis has a greater share of this type of crime than the

statewide average -- but the ad is a total lie. 

 

The Republicans complained that one DFLer got a little carried

away at Paul's memorial service, but then they get right back

down in the gutter where they were right beforehand. 

 

I trust that thinking people will see through all of this.
