Does he impeach himself by the highly negative politicized attack on his opponent, on the reverse side of the mailing? Does he, in effect, fail to deliver "less politics and more principle" to your mailbox?
You be the judge:
My judgment is: Michele Bachmann has faults, but she's not taking a substantial five-figure amount as personal business [not campaign] fee income and then advocating paving the roads in Minnesota with taconite tailings to in part "earn" such fees, all while a three-year taconite safety study has only begun earlier this year to investigate cancer linked concerns involving the material.
And in soliciting highway and transportation related money from municipalities Tinklenberg has alluded to federal fund availability while also dropping the name "Oberstar," (i.e., James Oberstar, chair of the House Transporation Committee), as a repeated practice.
In both instances politics are apparent.
What do you suppose the man in the mirror every morning tells him about precisely why career politicians and lobbyists are mistrusted by 80% of the voters?
Principle over politics, he says.
Go figure.
