November 14th, 2009 • 9:54 amWhat’s Missing From Tarryl’s Website?

I just visited Tarryl’s campaign website just to check it out. I didn’t immediately put my finger on it but I sensed that there was something missing from it.

Yes, it has the obligatory About Tarryl page. It has a news page, which, BTW, is filled with union endorsements. There’s a “Contribute page”, too.

Then it dawned on me. Tarryl’s website is missing an issues page.

Why won’t Tarryl tell people what her positions are on card check, Cap and Tax and Pelosicare? I’ll stipulate that she doesn’t need a page explaining her position on taxes. I know that she’ll vote for the biggest tax increases without hesitation. If given the opportunity, she’ll vote for massive tax increases. I know that because that’s what she’s consistently done in the past.

Still, it’s quite possible to put a positions page together for Tarryl.

Given her past silent support for single-payer health care and her willingness to vote for huge tax increases, it’s reasonable to think that Tarryl would’ve voted for Pelosicare, though she would’ve had to have held her nose to vote for a bill including the Stupak Amendment.

Considering Tarryl’s supporters bragged about her 100 percent rating on the environment and considering the fact, again, that Tarryl doesn’t hesitate in voting for huge, job-killing tax increases, it’s reasonable to conclude that she would’ve voted for the job-killer known as Cap and Tax.

Considering the fact that Tarryl voted to increase state spending by 17 percent in 2007 at a time when the economy was slowing down, it isn’t a stretch to think that she would’ve enthusiastically supported President Obama’s irresponsible budget that’s producing unprecedented and unsustainable deficits.

Tarryl has highlighted the union endorsements she’s received. That’s understandable since they’re an important part of getting a DFL endorsement. Here’s the question voters should have: Will Tarryl represent the citizens of CD-6 or will she represent the union leadership’s interests?

There’s alot of blanks that voters need filled in about Tarryl, something that I’m willing to help do. (It’s obvious Tarryl won’t fill in the blanks herself since it’s been almost 4 months since she announced her candidacy.)

Let’s just hope that Tarryl starts filling in these important blanks. Tarryl’s actions say everything about Tarryl’s priorities: Tarryl has time for an interview with a lefty rag like the Daily Beast but Tarryl won’t tell Sixth District voters whether her priorities fit with the District’s priorities.

Hopefully, we’ll find that out soon. Until Tarryl takes the time to fill in the blanks, I’ll just study what she’s done in the past, then see if there are any parallels between her past votes and the issues she’d face in Congress.

BTW, the Daily Beast has featured such substantive articles like “Levi Johnston Gets a Porn Award” and “Catching Up With the Hipster Grifter”, a story about Kari Ferrell, who is serving six months for mail fraud and forgery.

Stop past this blog frequently to stay updated on the hiding Tarryl Clark. I’m doing the job that Tarryl refuses to do.

  1. Yeah, Clark is a “good” moderate, as is Maureen Reed, but I really would like a Wellstone instead.

    This middle-of-the-road approach is sad, but it would be such an improvement over Dark Ages Michele Bachmann, organizer of pep rallies, that we can only hope Clark or Reed reaches the general election, and wins. Even such a moderate would be better than nothing.

    And Michele Bachmann, there’s never been a bigger nothing in Congress that I can recall.

    And, she’s a RINO.

  2. Tarryl isn’t a moderate. She’s crafted a moderate image but she’s a hardline liberal. That’s what her votes & her quotes tell us about Tarryl.

    If Republicans outwork the DFL, then it’s irrelevant who the DFL nominee will be because Michele will win a solid victory.
