"John McClane: You know what you get for being a hero? Nothin'. You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah, blah, blah, attaboy. You get divorced. Your wife can't remember your last name. Your kids don't want to talk to you. You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me, kid, nobody wants to be that guy.
Matt Farrell: Then why you doing this?
John McClane: Because there's no body else to do it right now, that's why. Believe me, if there were somebody else to do it, I'd let them do it, but there's not. So we're doing it.
Matt Farrell: Ah. That's what makes you that guy. "

Words To Live By
"The era of small government is over ... government has to be more proactive, more aggressive." ( Tim Pawlenty 2006)

"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

Jobs Trump Bike Paths – Cravaack Right For CD8

For about 36 years, the Northeastern portion of Minnesota has been represented by a millionaire Marylander who thought the peasants back home just needed bike paths. Sure he tossed red meat to the union brass, but his party was vehemently opposed to utilizing the natural resources of the Iron Range to bring back jobs. I’m talking about former Congressman Jim Oberstar and the 8th District.

Chip Cravaack defeated Oberstar in 2010 and didn’t sit back and coast. He rolled up his sleeves and did what every good Congressman or woman should do, what’s best of the people in his District. Cravaack has fought the bureaucrats and entrenched powers in Washington which have crippled job creators and industries in Northern Minnesota.

He has worked to cut red tape, shorten permitting, and put Iron Rangers back to work. The fact is Congress can’t really create jobs, but it can reduce the red tape and regulations that prevent or cost us jobs.

Cravaack is doing such a great job at helping get the 8th District up and running again, that he received a major union endorsement.

 

The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 49 announced today that it is backing Republican Congressman Chip Cravaack for Congress. In a statement, the union said its members strongly supported the 8th district congressman over the three DFL candidates running to replace him.
