'Tracking' the candidates
Over the last several months, I have met trackers of our gubernatorial candidates from both the GOP and DFL and have found them to be fine young citizens ("Dayton, Republicans quarrel over 'trackers,' " Aug. 17). Therefore, it was a surprise to hear Mark Dayton complain about the tracker from the GOP who has been tailing him. All along, throughout the campaigns of the candidates leading up to the primary, they all have been assigned a tracker from the opposing party. Running for governor is not for the weak of heart. Dayton wanted to run with the big dogs but is proving to be thin-skinned. It's obvious Tom Emmer is the leader of the pack.

Jim Metzen Got Off So Easy!!!
Anyone whoever got a DWI knows the penalties for their actions behind the wheel. Jim got a lousy 20 hours of community service. What a slap on the wrist!
Read it here,

Read carefully and you will see that he was using more than one lane. He was weaving down the road.
Here's more. Jim got a speeding ticket a year ago on 07/23/09. 84 in a 70 with no proof of insurance.

Two years after he said how much he has learned his lesson.

Protest a Betty McCollum fund raiser tonight!!
Make a sign and peaceably assemble outside 466 Mississippi Blvd this evening and let Betty and her fellow socialists know how you feel. Signs that say things like "One Nation UNDER GOD, Betty!" or "Why are you afraid to debate?" Use your imagination. There is much to say when it comes to Betty the invisible commy!

How Eisenhower solved illegal border crossings from Mexico
George W. Bush isn't the first Republican president to face a full-blown immigration crisis on the US-Mexican border.
Fifty-three years ago, when newly elected Dwight Eisenhower moved into the White House, America's southern frontier was as porous as a spaghetti sieve. As many as 3 million illegal migrants had walked and waded northward over a period of several years for jobs in California, Arizona, Texas, and points beyond.
President Eisenhower cut off this illegal traffic. He did it quickly and decisively with only 1,075 United States Border Patrol agents – less than one-tenth of today's force. The operation is still highly praised among veterans of the Border Patrol.
Although there is little to no record of this operation in Ike's official papers, one piece of historic evidence indicates how he felt. In 1951, Ike wrote a letter to Sen. William Fulbright (D) of Arkansas. The senator had just proposed that a special commission be created by Congress to examine unethical conduct by government officials who accepted gifts and favors in exchange for special treatment of private individuals.
General Eisenhower, who was gearing up for his run for the presidency, said "Amen" to Senator Fulbright's proposal. He then quoted a report in The New York Times, highlighting one paragraph that said: "The rise in illegal border-crossing by Mexican 'wetbacks' to a current rate of more than 1,000,000 cases a year has been accompanied by a curious relaxation in ethical standards extending all the way from the farmer-exploiters of this contraband labor to the highest levels of the Federal Government."
