Quoting Judy Lindsay: "A Vote for Bills Is a Vote for Lindsay"

Category: Minnesota Politics

Well, well. This is much too good not to share. Recently I posted about Kurt Bills (GOP candidate for 37B vs. Rep. Phil Sterner) and his connection to the "Liberty Caucus".... I called him a "tenther version of Judy Lindsay". I noticed some letters to the editors that were actually discussing some of this in the local Apple Valley and Rosemount papers. But, truly, I could not ask for a better verification than this...... (Note: emphasis mine)

To the editor:

Letter writer Ken Wolf (July 16) insulted the voters, Republican Party delegates, and myself in his lame attempt in trying to defend Kurt Bills. Party politics should not be more important than advancing the issues and leading Minnesota into a better economy, creating more jobs and protecting our freedoms.

Two years ago, Wolf assured voters that I was mainstream and fit the district when he wrote that I was: “someone we can depend on, someone who shares our morals and values.” Now he calls me an extremist right wing politician and Bills is a common-sense mainstream politician that fits the district.

The trouble is, my stands on the issues and Bills’ stands on the issues are identical. I challenge anyone to find an issue where he differs from my stated positions. If, in fact, Bills differs from the Republican platform, he has yet to announce those anti-Republican beliefs.

Since our beliefs are identical, the adjectives describing us have to be identical. Which is it? Are Judy Lindsay and Kurt Bills common sense mainstream politicians or right wing extremists?

If Bills votes the same way he talks, I guarantee you that a vote for Kurt Bills is exactly the same as a vote for Judy Lindsay.

Need I say more? And thank you Judy Lindsay.
