In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator.

Michele Bachmann: Tim Walz is 'as radical as AOC or more'​

(Member of Congress served with Kamala's VP pick for years)

Former Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, now dean of the Robertson School of Government, served with now Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for years.

And after Kamala Harris tagged Walz as her pick for the Democrat party's nomination for vice president, she spoke out.

"I went to Congress with Tim Walz in 2006 and served with him for 8 years. On the outside, he looks like an awe-shucks, back slapping, nice guy politician, when in fact he is as radical as AOC or more," Bachmann said.

She said, "Because of Tim Walz, more people have moved out of the state than at any other time in Minnesota's history. Last year, $2 billion and 30,000 people left the state of Minnesota." And she noted Walz promoted "the strongest transgender protection bill in the country and the strongest pro-abortion bill in the country."

What seems "radically liberal" to a radical conservative is probably reasonable legislation to promote the common good.
If Michelle Bachmann didn't think he was radical he wouldn't be worth my support.

Are there any policies that Tim Walz supports with which you oppose?

None that would prevent me from voting for Harris/Walz over Trump/Vance. There is not a thing you could tell me about Walz that would change my vote.
He is not a 100% fit with my moral and ethical considerations, but I will settle for 95-100%.

Does he offer Medicare for all? Now that's Socialism! :oldthumbsup: Or maybe not.
It's just a thing where I come from - and Australia isn't a Socialist country last time I checked.

People need to look at policies ... not likability of someone.

If Bachmann doesn't like him, that mean he's a great candidate for VP.

I actually really liked Michele Bachmann and think she would have been a great first female president. She has a lot of common sense and compassion.

Tim Walz is a far left progressive with many of the policies he supports and endorses.
He wanted tampons in boys locker rooms/bathrooms. Show how much common sense he has. Yikes!

Therefore, are you saying that you agree with 95% of the policies of Kamala Harris and Tim Walz?

People need to look at policies ... not likability of someone.
I'm Aussie - and haven't seen much of this guy or read a lot about him.
But did you see his opening speech?
The guy served in the military - Trump has allegations of faking medical issues to get out of serving.
The guy served for decades in both the military and as a school teacher where as Walz said "Trump served himself - again and again and again!"

Walz has the X factor.
He's part military - part social sciences teacher.
Democrats are piling on the love for one another - while Trump is tearing down loved Republican governors in rallies - making the crowd shuffle and wince.

Walz is smooth, and has masculine military gestures.
Trump has his little pursed lips and wiggle-hands.

And Vance? If the VP's debate - I doubt Vance will "get off his couch" - :oops::oops::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

I don't believe it's possible for you to disagree with your gods Fantine. What do you disagree with Walz on?
You are baiting me, and I'm not cooperating.
Go read "US Catholic," October, 2016, on voting. My pastor read it from the pulpit at the time.
Pope Francis says the Church should inform consciences, not replace them.
Single issue voters demanding litmus tests are divisive and hostile, targeting some of the best Catholics I know.
