This is just terrible...in a way, he opened the door in Minnesota for bullies to have full reign just so he can win points with the religious "right".

He is a Douche Bag, he rather let the LBGT kids get beat up because its expressing their religious morals/beliefs. Oh a bet he could care less about disabled kids, because they are not productive members of society.
You know LBGT kids and the Disabled kids, are the most picked on group of kids by bullies. It has become an excepted form of abusive that needs to stop.

agreed.
I used to live in Minnesota when he was govener...he was very disliked for cutting vital programs to the most vunerable.
He must get a kick out of seeing those who are more vunerable suffer. He even was sued for his cutting of these programs and the court declaired such cuts were unconstitutional.
I dont see how he has a chance in hell of getting the respect of the people when the state he served suffered so much.

I wouldn't expect anything else from a Republican politician today, as they're more concerned with sucking up to their fundie and tea bagger constituents.

It isn't just him. Just about all politicians do this kind of thing in order to get in power. This is not a right verses left or liberal verses conservative battle. This is a political class verses citizen battle. Just about all politicians make empty promises and will vote on legislation just to keep themselves in power, and once their power is solidified, they will work to enrich themselves and their cronies.

Republicans are not the only people who are willing to take "social security" checks from the people. Obama has also threatened the same if he doesn't get his way. Politicians from both parties have plundered our once great country and have worked to destroy its industry. The people are also just as responsible since we are the ones (as a whole) who vote for these vermin.

The only man that is currently in the running that is worth the vote is Ron Paul.

Political parties, organizations, the court system, big business, as well as the court system are the new Mafia. This will not change until we stand up and throw ALL of these people out. This will have to be done by means other than elections now that the government-corporate-media complex control the votes as well as the counting of the votes.

If anything, Obama is just warning us that social security might be in danger is the debt ceiling isn't raised.
And personally, I think Ron Paul is nuts.

In Denmark we already have a law against bullying.
You can get a fine or a prison sentence for bullying.

Seconded.

I once read an article about Pawlenty.

Pawlenty may seem like a great guy, but politically
he seems more like an a**hole who holds
a grudge against LGBT and disabled kids.

Here's the link for the article:
