El Tinklenberg (MN-6): Fool me once….
As I recall, the Dkos community and I contributed an impressive amount of money to Mr. Tinklenberg’s election bid last year hoping against odds he would win.
Upon receiving the money, I concluded Mr. Tinklenberg was no more prepared to run a congressional race than I was. Not only was he stunned at the contributions, this I can understand but he appeared to have no organizational skills whatsoever. Per his letter today he is still in the process of learning. Learning mind you how to run a campaign to become a U.S. Congressman! Me think Mr. Tinklenberg is either delusional, a con man or think we’re crazy. There is a strange feeling I have regarding the writer of this post and the diarist who kept us abreast regarding Mr. Tinklenberg’s campaign last year; the rhetoric is closely similar and I ask the question, why not identify the newly hired manager and the specific campaigns he has won including names instead of waiting until a later date to reveal the information? I repeat, “Fool me once…….” As my wife use to say, “There’s a fly in the milk somewhere!”
As always,
BB
P.S. (Mumble) He must think we’re crazy….(Mumble)…..Why doesn‘t he give us an account of what he did with the last money we gave him…(Mumble) I don‘t trust him…(Mumble) I ain’t seen him on the news here…(Mumble) I may be wrong……
Dairy: I'm Running Against Michele Bachmann, and I'm Running to Win
Excerpt:
[Many of you received this email that went out this morning to my supporter list, but for those who missed it, I wanted to share it with everyone so you all know that I'm officially running for Congress against Michele Bachmann, and that I'm running to win]
I will tell you more about my campaign over the next few days, but I have hired a campaign manager who's run two straight winning campaigns against incumbent Republican members of Congress, and a team of consultants who over the last two elections have helped defeat dozens of incumbent Republican members of Congress.

To El Tinklenberg,
Thanks for coming to Daily Kos but like the poster, Blitz Boys, I have some concerns about your diary and about your stand on issues:
1. For instance, where do you stand on single payer (the Conyers proposed legislation in particular and not some airy-fairy, the "people need better health care";
2. You were a minister? What kind and why did you give it up?
3. Do you support the immediate closure of Gitmo and sending the prisoners there into our normal criminal justice system?
4. Do you support the appointment of a prosecutor to investigate and prosecute possible criminal wrongdoing related to torture under the Bush Administration, or are you agreed with Obama that "looking forward not backward" is better?
5. Do you support the escalation of the war in Afghanistan?
6. Do you support the continued huge defense budgets that eat up so many of our tax dollars at the expense of social programs?
7. Do you support a simplified and more progressive income tax that stops giving breaks and rebates to the rich?
8. What is your position on TARP? On the Obama administration's attitude toward the auto industry?
You see, many of us are concerned that we are electing "democrats" who turn out to vote like Republicans once they go to Washington. It is important to know where you stand on the issues.
