Editorial: Re-elect Tim Walz
October 28, 2010 at 7:00 pm in Worthington Daily Globe
As Democrat Tim Walz seeks election to his third term as Minnesota’s 1st District representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, he’s seen a formidable challenge from Republican Randy Demmer. Continue Reading
Supporters of Tim must all be the same and only have one agenda. Stupidity…
Disgraced former lawmaker Dave Durenberger came out today in support of DFL Congressman Tim Walz.
In fact, Durenberger told press today the reason he was supporting Walz was because of his vote with Nancy Pelosi of Obamacare.
The Rochester Post-Bulletin reports:
He said he also backs Walz because of his support for the federal health care law. (RPB)
If you remember, Durenberger was a former US Senator that was reprimanded on the Senate floor for his unethical and borderline behavior while in office.
Durenberger has also backed IP candidate for Governor Tom Horner.
Here is a time line of Durenberger’s problems:

Walz voted with the extremists Dems way too often, even when he knew his constituents didn’t want him to! We cannot allow that. He still favors amnesty in some form, he thinks that just because they have gotten away with breaking the law for a number of years we need to reward them. NO Tim, .. You do not reward the lawbreaker because they managed not to get caught for years! Can’t allow that either.. There are many other things I could bring up but those two sink him for me… I am not a real fan of the republicans either but this time they are definitely the lesser of two evils! Voting for a third party you know can’t win would be a vote for the Dems so vote accordingly. In hind thought this post could apply to all Dems!
