"The Republicans have run some very good people in the past, only to get rubbed out by the socialists, statists, and progressives. There was a time, and many of us older folk remember it, this area of town thrived. It was good politically as it was balanced."
Cringe worthy. Embarrassing. Disgusting. Fool hearty. The words could go on and on and on to describe the mess in Minnesota's CD 5. For reasons which escape me, this district decided to elect a Somali Muslim gal with a big mouth and not much intellect behind it. Deciding she does not want to be out-gaffed by this Puerto Rico gal from New York (AOC), she is turning the state of Minnesota into even more of a national embarrassment than it usually is.
She is not smart enough to be subtle - not by a long shot. Nope, she just lets it all hang out. Wears it on her sleeve. Just in the short time she has been in Congress, we have found out she does not like Jews, Israel, or the American way. She does not believe in the evil of 9/11, and pays homage to CAIR. In other words, to many of us who have been observing her, she acts as a Manchurian Candidate, in every sense of the word.
She left the Minnesota State House in a whirlwind of questions and issues. Allegations of misconduct were swept under the rug. Allegations of her marrying her brother to get fraudulent immigration status have never been fully answered. In other words, every place this woman has been, has ended up with some kind of dirt on it.
Who do I feel sorry for? The good folks in CD 5 who were either hoodwinked into voting for her, or did not vote for her at all. Now they have a real lemon representing them in Congress. And what do people outside of CD 5 think of this once fine area of the state? Lost. Gone for good.
The Republicans have run some very good people in this district in the past, only to get rubbed out by the socialists, statists, and progressives. There was a time, and many of us older folk remember it, this area of town thrived. It was a good place to live. It was politically good as it was balanced. Now it is a combination of Little Mogadishu and Little Moscow. It is truly the land of the lost.
Will we ever see decent representation out of CD 5 again? How about CD 4? All other districts in our state have hope for a brighter future. But CD 4 and 5? I will use one of my former Russian terms - Guhor - "all is lost and/or in darkness".
I think the new GOP slogan-- "We care. Our ideas work. We will lead"-- if communicated widely and well, could turn the tide. We certainly have ample proof that the Omar's ideas do NOT work. It should not be hard to find something better.
