Pawlenty: "the appropriate response is to say 'Congratulations,'"

[scheming daemons]

Yes... that is the appropriate response.


Now why can't you fuckers simply give that response.

[WeDidIt]

1. Well good on Pawlenty

At least there's one Republican who understands.

[MH1]

5. could be explained simply by political calculation

don't we expect for Pawlenty to be looking for a lot of votes in 2012?

[calimary]

15. Yes we do. He's evidently looking to toward whoring for the "rise above it" "crowd"

among republi-CONS. All fifteen of them. Probably hoping it'll help him stand out from the crowd as a representative of a "different kind of 'kinder-gentler' GOP.

Okay, I'll admit it's good to hear even a shred of human decency coming out of the mouths of even one person in that Party of Pirates. But it's gonna take a LOT more than that to impress me, pawlenty. I'm not a bit convinced. You're a republi-CON. To me that means your motivations are automatically suspect and NOT to be trusted.

2. Republican Pawlenty shows more class than many DUers.

[iceman66]

16. Ironic but true.

[Rosa Luxemburg]

3. Most republicans don't deserve to hold office

it's nice to see some respect

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

4. Pawlenty's making the mistake of running for the general election before winning the nomination.

That means he assuredly won't last the primaries. Someone willing to dole out red meat will win the Great GOP Bloodbath of 2012.

[bluestateguy]

6. That was what Hillary did

and in 2012 we will be ready for a little payback of our own for Rush Limbo's "Operation Chaos".

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

8. I'm down for some Pawlenty PUMA action myself.

:evilgrin:

[Robyn66]

7. Looks like SOMEBODY is trying to look like the

moderate Republican for 2012!

[WI_DEM]

9. Wow! actually a sane response from the other side.

[BlooInBloo]

10. For all of my bitching, I never would have thought that a republican would have MORE class...

Than scads of DUers.

Live and learn.

[laughingliberal]

11. Yes, world upside down today nt

[Mrs. Overall]

17. Yep.

I was in the mood to celebrate, but many posts are simply downers.

[NYC Liberal]

12. I think we know who's running in 2012

It is the appropriate response though, running or not

[ljm2002]

13. Good for him!

I for one am glad to see there are still a few sane Republicans around. No, I still would not vote for him, and still disagree with his political positions. But credit where credit is due, he is acting like a grownup in this instance, and for a modern day Republican that is actually rather amazing.

[el_bryanto]

14. Which fuckers are you talking about? Or to?

Bryant

[SpartanDem]

18. Kinda sad when a wingnut some more grace and class

than some of the people here

[bridgit]

19. Pawlenty is an ass

[Hekate]

20. Aw, come on over to the Party Thread

:party:

[MiniMe]

21. McCain's response was pretty good

I do have to give him credit for that response, very classy. Basically that we are all pleased when an american wins it. Video is in political videos forum.

[Kingofalldems]

22. Their glorious leader pigboy has already trashed Obama
