Rochester Mn TEA Party Good Debate turn-out sent in email;
RTPP State Candidate Forum Was Standing Room ONLY
The Rochester Tea Party Patriots held their first debate for the State of Minnesota’s legislative offices Thursday evening in front of a packed room with over 90 attendees. Even though not every candidate joined us for this extremely informative discussion, it was a very successful and insightful event.
It was disappointing that the Post Bulletin and other media outlets decided not to join us so that they could have had the ability to report firsthand about our event and the responses that the candidates gave to the questions directly from the audience.
We were glad to hear answers to questions ranging from the state budget to education and health issues coming from the audience. With the candidates we heard from we were able to learn more about where they stand and what issues are important to the people of Rochester and our surrounding communities. We thank Mr. Quam, Mr. Rolih, Mr. Senjem, Mr. French, Mrs. Nelson, Mr. O’Connell, and Mr. Benson for taking part in our discussion.

I know Stanley Fish pretty well. He is a very smart guy. I have usually found his academic work to be destructive in its effects, but he has been very influential in his field and impossible to ignore.
Look at his arrogant statements at the end, like tea partiers don’t have the ability to debate or reason.
Stanley Fish is essentially saying, through use of his Antaeus and Heracles analogy, that if the tea party movement is separated from that which gives it strength, then it will be defeated by that with which it is unfamiliar—namely, rational thought.
His intellectual error is to miss the fact that the tea party doesn’t get its strength from dirt, but from rational thought itself.
the fact is that the left pokes fun at the Tea party because they can not debate them. The debate would destroy the last glimmer the left has for its right to rule and they know it.
debate nannystatism vs freedom yeah that will go over real well.
Except this time, Hercules is on OUR SIDE.
The Ruling Class has had the power since George Bush Sr. They have lead us into this mess we may never recover. The plan it The World Order and if we don’t stop it soon, we will all be slaves to it.
An incestuous article where the New York times quotes Time Magazine is not worthy of reading, much less believing.
Please contact me if you’re interested in being added on or taken off the Carl Paladino for Governor ping list. This looks to be a fairly high volume ping list for a while, probably until the election.
I've got news for ya fella...we're already standing on the twin peaks of reason and evidence. You guys are the ones that need a hand up, so take your liberal condescension and shove it up your ass.
