A Republican Who's Actually Running for President

Tim Pawlenty, known as the "not-Mitt." Another commentary from Badash, and it's pretty devastating:

Pawlenty, 50, a Baptist, who claims he would reinstate Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, the ban on openly-​gay service members, also vetoed a bill in his home state that would have allowed surviving partners of same-​sex couples the right to decide what to do with their loved one’s deceased body.

At the time, Pawlenty said he believed in “traditional marriage,” and that the bill would have “elevated” same-​sex relationships. “I oppose efforts to treat domestic relationships as the equivalent of traditional marriage,” Pawlenty added. . . .

Pawlenty believes in adding more prisons and tougher penalties for sex offenders, reducing taxes on businesses, requiring the Pledge of Allegiance in schools, and more oil drilling, including in AWNR.


That's quite a platform, isn't it? That's the best they can do -- Pawlenty and Romney.

And the Paul Ryan "Roadmap to Ruin".
