Gutknecht offers debunked theories as policy, Walz dominates debate
Saturday, August 19th, 2006Evil Bobby has the first rundown of the Walz-Gutknecht debate in Owatonna. A choice excerpt: (sic)
Even [Gil’s] supporters in the crowd burst out laughing when Gil suggested (More then once) that our Energy problems were due to “Radical Environmentalists”
Seems like Gutknecht has finally joined that group that blames all agricultural, economic and energy problems on radical activists. Gutknecht knows better - the critical problems of the day are caused by the food, financial and gas markets. Activists on either side of the partisan divide can do little to affect these macroeconomic issues.
These problems face all of us and Gutknecht fails to adquetely serve his constitutents by reducing his “solution” into a trite talking point.
Early word is that Walz’s performance was superb. But don’t trust me: go here for Evil Bobby’s video of Walz’s concluding remarks.
UPDATE: Ollie Ox will soon have up her run-down of the debate. Watch Bluestem Prairie for the post.
Ollie’s remarks are here. They are a must read.
