As a life long Republican I am embarrassed by Tony Sutton.His actions reflect poorly on the party. He should be fired.

i had enough of plenty he cost me my house by dumping taxes on the counties and a soaring property tax hike plenty wont get in for president he is taged on facebook as a suck govenor he backed tom emmer we needed an independent in there i am glad that arnie carlson did’t back tom emmer

Gosh, can’t go to the ‘party activities’ eh. How will they ever find the will to live now…..

It’s one of the reasons I’m not a Republican. This new breed of “leaders” in the party try to tell you how you should think, how you should vote, and how you should part your hair.

The Republicans are looking a lot like the Communist Party in Russia. They probably only wish that they had gulags to send their mavericks to. It’s good for everyone, including their own, to see how spiteful and vindictive they’ve become.

Tony Sutton is a d-bag.

That’ll learn ‘em.

@Jim If you cant support the actions of Tony Sutton then maybe you should be banned from Republican activities as well. We need to stick together if we want to win back the White House in 2012.

Tony Sutton is partially to blame why Tom Emmer has lost the governor race. He is arrogant, a poor loser, and needs to censor his comments. “We will aggressively fight this election” one day after the vote. Give me a break. Poor choice of words.

The GOP needs to replace Tony Sutton with someone that has dignity and the people’s respect. He is not it.

As a life long Republican, never voted for Democratic ever. I now begin to see the rotten politic even Republicans can use. Tony Sutton and the committee got exactly what they deserve. A lousy Governor and a split party, so long Tony.

Tony Sutton did the right thing. Keep up the good work, Tony. These RINO’s should be kicked out, not for 2 years, but for 20. Tom Emmer won the nomination fair-and-square at the Republican convention. Once nominated, then support him, if you are truly a Republican.

What’s the deal with these RINO’s? Where’s their head at? I’m surprised these RINO’s didn’t support Mark Dayton.

I hope Pawlenty finds another state to live in if he doesn’t get a Federal gig.

I love it. They eat their own.

Both parties are pretty much d-bags, just in different ways. Grotesque, Old Prevaricators vs Disingenuous, Fatuous Lunatics

This is aRepublican tactic. In the past they took away chairmanships from those Rep’s that voted for the gas tax increase that there voters wanted just because it was not the Rep. line. That is why a GREAT Rep moderate like Steve Dille decided not to run again. Let’s get real and realize that party lines really suck. Don’t care which party you are on.;!!!!!!!

Dave Durenburger, Arne Carlson and Al Quie, the only good republicans left in the state. For that matter the whole country. The republican party has turned into a group of radicals who want to control the lives of everyone. If your a republican now you probably would have been a victim at Jonestown back then, because you sure can’t think for yourself now.

At what point is Emmer going to understand that 8,700 votes is a loss???

I would not belong to any organization that would have me as a member

It was not a motion by Sutton, but from the floor. Irresposible former Republicans have now been shown what actual Republicans feel.

Yes these Republicans (now in effect censured if they come back to the fold)
deserve to be ostracized. If they did not like the Republican choice, their option is to resign from the party or sit on their hands and sit out the election.

I have resigned from the party in the past on principle. These ex leaders did not resign. That would have shown integrity.

“Mommy, my friends won’t let me play with them anymore because I wouldn’t do everything they wanted me to do.”

If our children said something like that to us, wouldn’t most parents respond by telling the child it means they were not really their friends and that they should find better friends who won’t treat them that way just because they disagreed?

This is another example of the Republicans purging moderates from the party. The Republicans no longer present moderate candidates. I voted for Al Quie, Dave Durenberger, and Arne Carlson. If this year’s Republican candidate for governor had been a moderate, then he would have won this election in a landslide.

Tom, Arnie & Dave have backbone. Tom Sutton? “what you have?” “Huh?”

I’m thinking Tea Party might be my party? The Republicans and Democrats are both turning on their own. mark@mntaxwaste.com
