[Mpls] NRP

[Jim Bernstein]

The 13th Ward used to have Republican leanings until the Republican
Party leaped into the ultra conservative cesspool back in the mid 80's.
Bill Dean was the last republican legislator from this ward (1980) and
Charlee Hoyt that last republican council member.  Neither could be
endorsed by current republican party. The 13th ward will support
moderate Republicans like Arne Carlson and does elect independents like
Steve Minn and Barret Lane to city council. There was  quite a solid,
effective group of Republican moderates in the 13th ward that at least
made elections interesting if not victorious but almost all have dropped
out of the party.    

To suggest that we in the 13th ward are ripe for becoming a republican
"city" . . . well, them's fighting words!!

Not much changs here.  It seems that Victoria Heller,
the North Oaks critic who loves to hate everything any
Minneapolis ruling body does is still using faulty
logic and gross generalizations to steer away from any
authentic solutions to problems that never strike her
in any way but in the bank account.  To call NRP a
colossal failure when the problems don't really affect
her personal quality of life is gratuitous.  To ignore
the fault of state government and her personal
political party is also a bit disingenuos.  Victoria,
just sell, and leave us to work on our own issues
without your second-guessing.  I now know how Iraqis
and Palestinians feel.  India had a Quit India Now
movement. I hereby inaugurate a Quit Minneapolis Now. 
And don't try to partition the 13th Ward into a
separate Republican city,e either.  I wouldnt be at
all surprised to see state Republicans do such a
thing!

Oy!
