I have been making phone calls for Lisa McDonald during the last week to the more conservative faction of the 13th ward.. I am shocked at some of the responses I have been getting from voters. Apparently, Betsy is telling people whatever they need to hear in order to get a vote. People I talked to said she told them that she is by-far the most conservative candidate in this race, and that Lisa is the super-liberal. Betsy has been endorsed by some of the most liberal groups in the city. ( ACORN and Progressive Minnesota) In fact, a little over four years ago she was the Executive Director of Progressive Minnesota. She lived in the sixth ward and supported a candidate that was considered left of left from a progressive standpoint. How do you go from that ideal to being more conservative than Lisa McDonald? Truth is, you don't. It's a lie. This sounds like the same stuff R.T. does. Say whatever the voter wants to hear. Truth be damned. Trouble is, sooner or later people figure out they got lied to.
