Gov Dayton

Funny, he was invited to an interview on MPR and another on WCCO (WDFL) and he ran away from those this week too. Those aren't exactly DFL unfriendly, so why the tuck tail and run routine???

My guess is because his handlers know that all he could do by opening his mouth at this point is hurt himself. They probably just want to leave well enough alone at this point.

Right. Supreme Court has already said making people pay to be allowed to vote is not allowed. In fact anything that creates a significant impediment to a citizen voting is prohibited.

I'm not sure I would call it the same thing.

Is having to own a pair of pants a poll tax? I'm sure you would be escorted out of the polling location before being allowed to vote and probably even charged with a crime if you show up naked.

Is transportation a poll tax? Some people live miles away from the nearest polling place. If I have to somehow arrange transportation via bus, taxi, car, pay for the fuel to get there, etc. Is that a poll tax?

How do I even find out what candidate options I have to vote for if I don't buy a newspaper, watch TV, have the internet and a devise to access it, etc. Is that a poll tax?

What about the stamp it takes to mail in your ballot ?

Isn't that poll tax ?

All my mail in ballots have been postage pre-paid. No stamp required.

I think you know you're stretching here Dave. None of your scenarios apply exclusively to voting. You can't just walk around in public in your birthday suit, whether you're on your way to the grocery store or the polling station. If you can't make it to the polling station, they will mail you a postage-paid ballot. And there is no requirement that you have to be informed about the candidate. You can walk in, flip a coin and vote for the candidate comes up heads/tails - or you can write-in the name of whoever you think is the best person for the job.

Does Obama provide free pants to those in need? I could use a couple more pairs of blue jeans.

His term isn't up for 2+ years, frown so, if he thought it would get BUY his party more votes, I'm sure he'd find a way to make it happen. whistle

BTW, Don't get him any ideas. laugh

Okay. Here's the deal. All those who have been blathering and bleating about all the candidates and the incredible shortcomings they exhibit just shut up now for a few days and then go vote. No more noise; no more whining and exaggeration, no more twisted nonsense......just shut up and go vote.

We will then see on Wednesday who is gonna be doing what.

After that you all small thinkers can go back to bitchyn. Deal?

I know of a few charities/municipalities that offer transportation to the polls (this is important for a lot of really old people).

Then why not let charities handle the ID cards?

Sounds like Dayton's tuck tail and run strategy: Hide under your desk and avoid the sunlight...but we all know that sunlight is the best disinfectant and Dayton is mighty pale.

Maybe if you actually got off your butt and did something to help the candidate you support, rather than wasting time here, you might get something accomplished. Your posts here do nothing but provide everyone with a chuckle. If you had your passion for Silly Town directed somewhere else just think what might happen.

So by posting it here for those who have not seen it I am in essence doing something to help the candidate I support.

You're welcome, Canon.

You don't actually think you are posting somthing new to people that view this thread? I just thought getting your very valuable information to people who could be influenced would make much more sense than just wasting bandwidth.I guess you just don't feel you have anything to offer your candidates. They probably would feel the same way,so carry on wasting bandwidth.

      We just returned this afternoon from 6 days on Vermilion. We arrived Saturday and enjoyed 3 fantastic days of walleye fishing. My cousin, our friend Greg, and myself fished several of our spring spots and found fish on all of them. Water temperatures were pretty much 65-67 degrees everywhere we fished. The wind was variable and made boat control a challenge at times. Bait was not an issue and we had success on crawlers(Tim), leeches(Greg), and minnows(me). If I had to pick one of those as catching the most fish, it would be crawlers. Our best day totalled 48 walleyes, 4 smallmouth, and 2 big JUMBOS. We ended up with over a hundred walleyes, 12 jumbos 11"-13", and 10 smallmouth to 18". Our biggest walleye was 24.5" and the balance went from 13"-22". There are lots of 14"-16" walleyes this year which are perfect eaters. The mayfly hatch was in full bloom in some areas but we found very few mayflies in the water column over rock reefs. We caught our fish in depths ranging from 10' to 32'. I didn't fish in any area where I could see mayflies top to bottom in the water column. Slow trolling in the .3mph to .6mph worked and we caught nothing using slip bobbers. Terminal tackle was a 3'-4' 10# flurocarbon leader, 2 lime colored beads, and a plain #6 Gamakatsu walleye hook . Snags are always an issue when fishing in and around the rocks and when the fish are biting they are acceptable. NOW, for the bad news.......Tuesday was a day I won't soon forget. The area suffered devastating torrential rainfall. Lightning was non-stop for several hours and when things settled down, flood damage was everywhere. We checked our rain guage on the side of the cabin and we got 7 3/4 " in a little over 4 hours! Breezy Point road washed out, Mud Creek road washed out as did several others in the area. Cooke business area was completely covered with flood water. I would consider it a disaster area and should be declared as such. We couldn't find a dock anywhere that wasn't covered with water. People were stranded behind flood covered and washed out roads. Dock decking, limbs and such were floating everywhere in the big water. My group sends our prayers to the people of that beautiful country that lost their businesses, homes, and suffered damage to their lake properties. The people of that north country are resilient and we have confidence that they will recover. We stayed our final 3 days but didn't fish at all Tuesday. Our last 2 days showed the effects of the storm. Water temps dropped to 64 degrees and our premo fishing became 10 walleye days. We did manage to catch a dozen really nice jumbos. We plan on returning in September and we pray the area will have returned to normal by then. I haven't figured out how to transfer photos from my phone to my computer yet so no pictures at this time. Good Fishing and God be with you. MarkB

      Word is that the river has peaked and therefore the town can start the process of recovering sooner.
    • smurfy
      Heard that too. Also heard 38 was closed for a but north of rapids due to flooding.    I know the water really came up when I was up last week compared to when I was there in April. 
    • Kettle
      Someone said 4 inches in the past week, more expected this weekend. A few roads, including county roads that are asphalt ended up with sink holes. Lakes are the highest I've ever seen in the 30+ years coming to the area and now living here. Several people lost trees Tues night
    • smurfy
      Dang Kettle  that bites. Great to hear fishing was good though.   How much rain you get up that way?
    • Dash 1
      50 in 6 hours is great. Boat issues really put a damper on a great day though. Hope you get it fixed quickly.
