“Pawlenty’s Appeal to GOP: I Won’t Embarrass You”

I am embarrassed by his weakness. Nice people do not run nations. A**holes do.

Pawlenty tries to be “nice” but it comes off as weak.

LOL. Isn’t saying “I won’t embarrass you” akin to “I won’t be a wuss”? Imagine Reagan saying something so girly-man. Pawlenty doeth protest too much.

When he was a rooky governor, the Democratic Legislature gave Pawlenty a balanced budget without tax increases -- and he crowed that the legislators had agreed to "pass all our bills."

Well that would be great if he could take the Minnesota legislators wth him to DC. He should ask Bush how the "working with the Dems in Texas" translated to "working with the Dems in DC".

I like Pawlenty, but we need someone who has a real hatred for DC and wants to dismantle it. Huntsman's diplomatic philosophy won't even get his campaign off the ground.

That's it? No foreign policy ideas? No economic growth ideas? No thoughts on immigration, tax policy or spending?

I won't embarrass you? Sorry, I do not want that man as my president.

Seriously? It’s come to this for GOP candidates? We are left with “I’m not so bad” as a standard?

I hate it when politicians pat themselves on the back about their record. Tell us what you plan to do as President. Your record will speak for itself.

"He'd be the first to tell you that the CNN debate was a missed opportunity," Conant responded.

Yeah, well, that's what we're worried about.

Pawlenty = part of the problem
Gingrich = another part of the problem
Romney = another part of the problem

Palin = the solution

Pawlenty’s done. He can be secretary of Transportation or something. Then eliminate the department.

“I won’t embarass you.”

You are embarrassing yourself.
We need someone who will kick some butt and clean house.

We don’t need anymore go-along, get along team players concerned about appearances.
The “team” is now the world’s largest criminal enterprise and the 536 gang members in Washington need to be sent packing.

I didn’t say she won’t, but unless she announces that she will, we really don’t know, do we? She will get get my vote in the primary and then I go in from there
