WARNING : Minnesotans watch the skies for Fundraiser II and the return of intrepid hunter Richard B. Cheney.
IF he didn’t bag his limit, he may come back !
HIS TARGET : Grumpy Republicans who threaten to throw Norm Coleman under the bus. Their looking for the prey that they can control, not RINOs !
HIS REWARD : Sending staunch Conservatives to the House of Representatives ( that being, Dr. Brian Davis and Erik Paulsen in place of Moderates Tim Walz and Jim Ramstad.)
OK, all kidding aside but I have to laugh at Ron Carey who issued a press release when Nancy Pelosi attended a fundraiser in Minnesota. Pelosi was at the Minneapolis Veterans Medical Center for a meeting at the request of Congressman Tim Walz who wanted to make sure she heard first hand from Minnesota Veterans their experiences and opinions. Afterward, she did what most Party Leaders do --- she meet Party officials, supporters and raised money.
That’s Pelosi and Walz … above board … with affected members of the public participating under the full view of the media … meeting everyday citizens.
By now, you have probably heard that Vice President Cheney snuck into Wayzata for a private meeting with the objective of raising $100,000 from those that can afford to give $10,000 to advance the Conservative agenda.
Well, Ron, what do you have say about Cheney’s visit?
Tight lips must sink ships, as the MNGOP website does not have any press release.
No thank you.
No notification to the party members.
Fortunately, Polinaut has a partial list of who was there and who was not.
Yet, it is still humorous that Carey’s tired branding of every Democrat as “promoting San Francisco values” and a Pelosi Liberal, would bring in to Minnesota someone that only 22% rated as doing an Excellent or Good job[from a February 2008 Harris Poll].
No wonder there was no media advance notice !
Cheney will be out of office in January, while there is a good likelihood that Pelosi and Walz will return.
Who brought in the better person to discuss problems ?
Who cares about Minnesotans and who just wants to keep everything hush-hush?
Or, should I ask, Who cares about Minnesotans and who cares about advancing their agenda ?
Carey can blast Walz all he wants but First District voters will remember who is working for them, and who is working to advance an ideology.

The meeting at the VA Medical Center was NOT open to the public--at the hospital's request (too many people would have interfered with the work being done there. It was by invitation (family of the vets, credentialed press). No campaigning can be done on federal property, so only Walz's congressional staff was there.
The fundraiser, at a separate location, was fairly well advertised.

CORRECTION : This post has been updated to remove the reference to it being a public meeting. I misinterpretted from the Star & Tribune article which implied it was a public session as opposed a session in which members of the public participated.
ORIGINAL : Pelosi was at the Minneapolis Veterans Medical Center for an Open To The Public Meeting at the request of Congressman Tim Walz who wanted to make sure she heard first hand from Minnesota Veterans their experiences and opinions. Afterward, she did what most Party Leaders do --- she meet Party officials, supporters and raised money.
That’s Pelosi and Walz … above board … in the public arena … meeting everyday citizens.
I thank Ollie Ox for pointing out the error.
