Talks end badly

Lawmakers apparently are going to get back to passing bills -- over the governor's objections. Pawlenty's spokesman reiterated that those bills will be vetoed.

Yes, the DFL has sent their spokes-humanoid out to dance a jig on the grave of fiscal responsibility.

The DFL will now spend the waining days of the Legislative Session passing bloated spending bill after bloated spending bill. The Governor will do what any fiscally sane person in his position will do (I pray) and will veto them.

But will the skeleton minority of Republicans in the Minnesota House be able to sustain the vetoes and in turn keep Minnesota's state Government on the high road to fiscal sanity, or will it we take the long dark road to unsustainability and oppression through taxation and regulation?

Memo to all conservatives and freedom lovers: Don't let up ticket letdowns and liberal Republicans stop you from sending good people to the Minnesota and US Houses. Get back at the Republicans (at the top of the ballot) who let us down by sending a team of solid conservatives so our Governor and President don't have to veto any and all of the horrific bills the Democrats can possibly think up.
