Pawlenty is the face of the Republican Party
Just look. Last night on Maddow and today he was on Hardball. Talking heads don't parse his statements either as Pawlenty lies and lies and misleads and lies delivering the Republican talking points. He is not running for a third term. He is running for President. I love the new phrase about "we are borrowing from China". How many times has he gone there?????? Lots! He never once answers a question directly. He is evil. I see the corners of his mouth turn up when he says a lie.
We need to amp up his flaws and misdeeds. He is running.

1. Of course he is running in the GOP 2012 Primary
He was in Israel not long ago pandering over there on a "trade mission".

3. I think Dems best take him as a serious contender. He has positioned himself to be set
apart from the other Republicans by appearing to look both "serious and pragmatic". New image makeover. I have to wonder who his VP pick would be.

6. He's positioning himself to be Palin's VP pick.
They'd really make a lovely couple.

Compare and contrast:

Low tax state:

5. I think I just figured something out on THOSE Governors who are rejecting the Stimulus $$$
Dems and others keep saying that the Republican Governors that are rejecting the money are going to run in the next election. NO. I say they are pawns set to bring the Stimulus down and make it fail by not participating and further straining the system. THAT is why they are putting Pawlenty out front as a stark contrast so he can go on and on about he will take the money but he hates the plan, blah blah blah.
THAT is why he did not run with McCain!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They knew they would loose and Pawlenty has been groomed and is still grooming.
Would someone PLEASE arrest ROVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pawlenty is such a Damsel in Distress.

8. And this morning (Saturday) was on CNN
As I've read someplace: both Sanford (S.C) and Crist (FL) are mooted as Presidential candidates. The first, because of a total rejection of the stimulus package, even going to D.C. to lobby; the second - for embracing it, even hosting a gathering with Obama.

Pawlenty is like Goldilocks: not too hot and not too cold. Yes, he does not like the plan, all of it, but will accept it nonetheless.

Pawlenty had the weirdest makeup on. He looked like an android.
