"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)

If DFLer Nolan Will Attack Cravaack’s Autistic Son…

The DFL ad attacking Cravaack for moving his family so it would be safe was pulled by TV stations, but they can’t refuse a candidate’s ad because its protected. But just because DFLer Nolan can run this ad attacking a father for protecting his autistic son, doesn’t mean Nolan should.

If he’s willing to attack a political opponent’s autistic son, what won’t he do? He tries to shield himself by claiming Cravaack is running a dirty smear campaign, but if you attack a man for protecting his innocent child, what do you call that?

 

Congressman’s autistic son caught in political residency firefight

BILL HANNA Executive Editor

It was a routine summer evening in July 2011 for 8th District U.S. Rep. Chip Cravaack’s family.

The congressman was at a town hall meeting in North Branch, about a 40-minute drive from his home in Lindstrom.

His wife, Tracy, who commuted during the week from Minnesota to Boston and back for her job with a pharmaceutical company, was at work on the East Coast.

The two boys, Nick, then 10, and Grant, then 7, were playing at home while being watched by a babysitter. Nick, who is autistic, was swinging on a set that the congressman had built for him in the basement.

“Swinging soothes him. He’ll be literally down there for hours. He goes into a spectrum. He calls it ‘frolic,’” Cravaack said in a recent telephone interview.

Then an accident at home happened that forced a change in the family’s way of life. Nick hit his head on a small opening of the padding that had been placed in the basement. He was knocked unconscious.

Yes, in previous cycles Cravaack and others have made an issue out of how former 8th District Congressman Oberstar lived in Maryland, not Minnesota. Oberstar lived in a giant mansion in Maryland and only came home for ribbon cutting ceremonies and DFL rallies. He wasn’t out holding townhalls across the District like Cravaack while his children were with a babysitter and his wife was on the East coast….

How low will Democrats go?
