Thread: Gov. Tim Pawlenty Takes a Sharp Right Turn

I don't know much about Pawlenty. But, I do know that news organizations convince people of what they want them to believe with headlines. It seems so simple to realize that there is nothing in this story to back up the headline and to wonder why they put that headline on it. Here's an interesting piece about the guy who runs Newsmax. If you know the source, and you know the bias held by the source, you are a couple steps ahead in...

Quote: Again, the article contains no examples of policy or issues where Pawlenty was moderate. It just flatly states that he is now talking more conservatively You're right Terri. I looked up stuff on Pawlenty, so much stuff came from left-leaning drivel pieces. Pawlenty seems to be a fiscal conservative, pro-life, pro-business and lower taxes.

They can keep Pawlenty for 2012, but I'd like to see him build a conservative record from here.
