Be A Fly On The Wall
Now is your chance to be a fly on the wall at a GOP convention in Minnesooota!
Meet Lynne Torgerson – she running for Congress as a Rightwing Republican and has about as much use for the Looneytarians as a screen door on a submarine.
The Convention was overrun by Ron Paul Libertarians. More than 2/3 of the delegates were Ron Paul Libertarians. When I mentioned that we were at a Republican Convention, they laughed out loud.
They began the Convention. There was no opening prayer. Not even a mention of it.
There was also no Pledge of Allegiance to the US flag.
Lynne was then an unwilling witness to such atrocities as flag desecration, clowns, the Un-Pledge of Allegiance, time limits, speech cutting, people who are pro gay rights, and no praying, by gawd!
She was gracious to share this –
I recently read an article in Mother Jones. It reported that the Libertarians did a study and concluded that given its form of government, that the State of New Hampshire would be the easiest State in the Union to take over. Then, 14,000 Libertarians moved to New Hampshire. It appears that a similar strategy is being employed in Minneapolis, and the State of Minnesota.
So, if you see anybody driving along in a Beverly Hillbillies truck reading Ayn Rand, odds are pretty good that they are heading to Minnesooota to just ruin Lynne Torgerson’s life.
By the way, her website is a smorgasbord of hilarity.
Thanks to MaryK for the heads-up.
This is indeed an incredible entertainment website. I made it down to her section on women. Once I got through the section on burkas, I found this gem: “Women also shouldn’t need to make themselves unattractive, or become fat, in order to excel in careers or politics.” Say WHAT? I’ll have to read more later. My brain hurts.
1I stopped at the part that said tomatoes were part fish.
2my head hurts too.
But with her early athletic activity maybe her brain got shaken up too much and that’s why her thoughts are so jumbled?
Sounds like she’s been taking lessons from Bachmann.
3Third side of the coin? Do not ever play heads or tails with this woman. She uses the word “healthy” a lot. I think she needs some brain health. Why is she complaining? I thought she was all inclusive, including Libertarians. My brain hurts.
4My hair hurts after reading her pseudo science of food and farming.
Revenge of the Paulistas is a jolly thing to observe when they use the rules to inflict their will upon the party who wishes to inflict their will upon everybody.
5How did she survive the shock?
6Is it just me, or, does her hair remind you of that old 1998 movie, “There’s Something about Mary”?
You know, the scene with Cameron Diaz…

Hmmmm……
7I’m from Keith Ellison’s district. This woman has zero chance of getting anywhere.
Minnesota has a long tradition of female candidates who say the damndest things. I remember a few years back, one who didn’t approve of women working. She did concede regretfully that unattractive women, who couldn’t get a man, would need some other way of supporting themselves.
8She sounds just like someone Garrison Keillor would mention in his weekly story about Lake Wobegon. I couldn’t get past her insistence that government can’t create jobs. Has she never heard of FDR and the Civilian Conservation Corps? Or the WPA? The government put a whole bunch of people to work, including Zora Neale Hurston. Lordy, people like her just torch my socks.
And, girlfriend, do something about that hair! Make an appointment with TWMDBS, Inc. Juanita Jean will set you straight. Bless your heart.
9The problem with her hair is probably because she’s a vampire and can’t see herself in the mirror. That or she lives in a wind tunnel. Or maybe, bless her heart, she likes the way it makes her look like a wingnut.
10LOL @ Judith!
I do think she landed on her head once too often, concussion damage is cumulative, and irreversible.
“Businesses are the entity which has jobs and employs people. Please also note that without tax income from private business employees, the government would have NO MONEY. Thus, for the government to even run, to even exist, we have to have private business.”
They has jobs and employs? I can haz pizza also too. Honor student can’t write English? I guess none of those Government employees pay taxes and we all know employers shouldn’t have to pay taxes. . . my head hurts. I must go donate to Keith Ellison, forthwith
11I checked out her website and almost got my eyes burned out. Someone who likes her should tell this lady that neon white on a royal blue background is not a good choice for readability.
12Wardrobe mistress for porn movies has a real job, created by private enterprise. Cops, teachers, firemen, Navy seals, and trash collectors don’t have real jobs because they are paid by government.
These wingnuts need to spend a month in exotic Somalia, land of minimal government and widespread freebootery.
13Oh. My. Goodness. Gracious. That poor confused dear. There are actually a few kernels of truth in that wild screed, though they are well buried. Is she quite sure she’s a Republican? Some of those kernels are very un-Republican-like — “Everything in business cannot be about the bottom line. Everything in business cannot be about getting things done as cheaply as possible. American business people have to be willing to pay American workers, in America… It is patriotic.”
She’s “reading a book, Dietrich Bonhoeffer.” Certainly commendable, but would that be ‘about’ or ‘by’ Bonhoeffer? “One of the first things the Nazis did was to outlaw speech criticizing the Nazis.” Though not outlawing per se, shades of BushCo anyone?
I conclude that her ideas are Biblical — Her right hand doesn’t know what her left hand is doing. (NO, don’t go there. Oh, sorry. Too late. 🙂 )
14Her hair is standing up on her head because the “pearls” wrapped around her neck are choking her , cutting blood to her brain.
15Was brought up short by the part in her bio that said she “helped establish ‘the Law of the Land’.” I’m pretty sure she wasn’t around when the constitution was written.
16I had a look at her website (a brief one) and it really didn’t take too long to get my mouth back closed. Sat and thought about composing some snark but I’ve decided to post a complaint instead:
17Why can’t the Dems get a few of the really batcrap crazies? Just isn’t fair for the Repugs to get so many.
Wonder if the poor dear can get her money back from Glamour Shots? Her portrait reeks of Glamour Shots.
18Torgerson claims to have “clerked” for “Honorable Ralph Geffen”. While he certainly was “honorable”, he was not a judge and did not have “clerks.” He was a magistrate. I’m sure he had “externs”, which is what Torgerson must have done. Not the same as clerking for a federal judge as is implied in her bio.
19Yeah, I know this is an old post. But just thought you’d like to know….
MN Repub primary. 40 delegates were up for grabs 32 of them are Ron Paul’s. 80%. 4/5.
A number of them have said they won’t vote for Willard under any circumstances. Not at the convention & not in the general election.
Torgerson must be tearing her hair out by now. Of course, that might be an improvement.
