How is Pawlenty a “faux conservative”?

Pawlenty Raises "Moderate" Flag at RGA (We've got another McCainiac RINO in our midst)

GOP Governors Pull the Plug On Palin's Press Conference (The RGA Dirt)

"Pawlenty, by contrast, rejected the “return to our conservative roots” theme of others at this conference and said,“GOP principles must be harmonized with outreach to the new demographics of America,” “the GOP is fifteen years behind in the use of technology and the Internet,” “the GOP needs more than a political comb-over,” and “voters don’t want our Party led by a crank.” Unsure of to whom Pawlenty was referring in that last comment, there were some gasps from the crowd."

How is Pawlenty a “faux conservative”?

He's just another GOP elitist, has governed as a moderate-RINO in Minnesota, and if you want another example, Governor Sarah Palin (who is a conservative's conservative), didn't have to dilly dally around to figure out who to endorse in New York District 23 (Doug Hoffman), but Pawlenty weaseled out of taking a stand with the excuse that he hadn't been paying attention, i.e. "I just don't know anything about it" (EXACT QUOTE), and if Pawlenty thinks he has a Chinaman's chance in Hell of being the GOP nominee, he BETTER know "something about it".

Need more? Minnesota's fiscal situation has NOT improved under Pawlenty's tenure, and the last time he was elected, he demonstrated that he has NO coat tails to speak of, as he actually LOST Republican officials when the tally was done.

You like Pawlenty? Move to Minnesota and tell him to keep his ass right there.
