I didn't challenge you to a debate on the morality of abortion my question was what place does it have in budget discussions? What place does legislation that changes labor laws or voting laws etc.? The Republican's know the Governor is not going to sign legislation that's anti-worker or any of this other Republican wish list legislation that has nothing to do with the budget..

Republican caucuses simply need to ask the richest 0.3 percent of Minnesotans, just over 7,000, to pay a little more. The Republican leadership rejected this offer out of hand.
Republicans claim that the very richest Minnesotans shouldn’t have to pay the burden – the closest thing they did to come to a compromise was propose $1 billion in new spending, to be paid back by future generations.
Republicans also insisted that any new revenue(taxes) also include several of their most painful policy provisions. They wanted a budget deal to include weakening the rights of teachers to negotiate, lower wages for Minnesotans, permanent layoffs for thousands of state workers, and limiting women’s rights. Those are choices that compromise our state’s values and target our state’s working class. That’s a choice that Governor Dayton is unwilling to make.
The choice around this budget impasse is now crystal clear. We can support Governor Dayton’s plan to ask the state’s millionaires to pay a little more, or we can choose a Republican budget that would cripple the middle class in Minnesota.

QUOTE Success for Republicans!! They wanted less government, well now they have it.. Time called him the Blunderer. QUOTE If you follow the Time magazine link then you'll find a 5 year old article about Senator Dayton that has absolutely no relevance to the subject of the state government shutdown.  Why is it you always have to check the republitards' links?  I do wonder if they do that intentionally, or is it because they possess the reading comprehension skills of your average 5th grader, and they really don't know what they're even linking to? So the link is to an article 5 years old. So it has no relevence to the current shutdown. I believe my comment was simply that "Time called him the Blunderer" and linked the associated article for that statement. Is that so hard to comprehend? There is nothing in that sentence to argue about. Time magazine titled the story. Period. Argue just to argue.
You didn't just post this random link about Time magazine, you posted it in response to Alcitizens post about the government being shut down. You even included his post so that people would have a reference as to what you were commenting on. As far as your question about Dayton's time as a Senator being relevant today, would you think your behavior in the past is relevant to how people would describe you today?
It's funny how you republitards get all whiny when they're caught posting bogus links that have no relevance to the topic at hand. I'd think most of you would have grown accustomed to it by now.

Liberal, You post solely on emotion. Not fact, not logic, not critical thinking...emotion. Your hatred toward the previous administration shines through with every post, therefore, your biased takes center stage over your contribution. We are all in this mess together. And you are not alone in your biased. It is exactly your type of denigration and name-calling the media and current administration use and rely on for support. It is why nothing is getting done in MN or nationally. The powers-that-be have the same type of progressive-ego that do not let them move forward.
Exactly what part of my post made reference to the previous administration? Or which part seemed emotional to you?

This is not a mess you buffoon, this is a great time for liberals, but not so much for republitards. They only part of the liberal agenda that we haven't dealt with yet is gay marriage, but I understand that Obama has to save some stuff for his next term.

Is that English? That sentence reminds me of the old meme "all your base are belong to us". If you're going to try to use bigger words like 'biased" you should at least look them up to see if you're using them properly.
For example I can have biased views, but I can't speak those views with biased. I could however speak the words with a bias toward my political leanings, but I can't speak those words with just a "biased".
I'd expect a little better from a self proclaimed intelligent person.

MN is one of the few states that allow late-term abortion (Meaning the baby is at the viable stage)
if to preserve the womans life or phyiscal or mental health.
Kind of arbitrary!
Dayton struck down 3 bills that would have lowered the limit for late-term abortion!
So there you go! It is allowed in Mn!
