The former Governor of Minnesota Tim Pawlenty speaks during a town hall meeting on 6 July in the ballroom of surfing in Clear Lake, Iowa. (Charlie Neibergall, AP)Tim Pawlenty had some scans veiled Wednesday his GOP competitors for the presidential election, arguing that voters in Iowa should review achievements of the field, not only their rhetoric and that his term as Governor of Minnesota has proven its worth.
"Candidates will come to Iowa and they will say many same things," he said, speaking at a fundraiser for GOP county of Story Dining Hall of Hickory. Republican candidates call to cut spending, tax reduction, based on the market of the reform of health care, determining public and similar payments, he said.
"The interesting question, I think that for you, Iowa Republicans and conservatives, is not the candidates say several or all the same things.". "I think that the question to you is have they actually did it", he said. "It is a person who possesses the leadership and the experience of being a CEO of a large public company in a difficult environment in difficult circumstances not only in light of the speech and offer has no changes, but have they it resulted in findings that get results"?
It is not known what amendment failed Pawlenty was referring, but after the Supreme Court of Massachusetts decided in 2003 that the same-sex couples can marry, Michele Bachmann, and then a statehouse Minnesota legislator, suggested a State constitutional amendment that would limit marriage to a man and a woman. The measure failed.
Bachmann, a member of Congress from Minnesota, recently participated in the GOP presidential contest and exploded past Pawlenty to be considered a favorite in Iowa. When asked if there was specific reference to Bachmann, Pawlenty said that his comments were on the strengths he brings to the race.
Pawlenty noted his years of experience as Governor of Minnesota, a democratic State ideologically, as evidence of its means and he did the "right way" health reform, without a warrant, said. Many GOP voters are angry by the Federal mandate that most people buy insurance of health care in the regime of President Obama health care, which many see as modelled on the plan of the State by the presidential candidate GOP and former Governor of Massachusetts Mitt Romney.
Pawlenty also urged voters to ask whether a candidate is eligible for the general election.
He said "you want to ensure that the person who that relies on Iowa in this race is not just a person who is interesting at that moment, but someone can become the candidate who can beat Barack Obama".
Pawlenty, who was the first day of a swing for three days by the bias of Iowa, is regarded as the game on the ground more sophisticated in the State and has campaigned hard here for several months. A strong showing is essential in the next straw poll in Ames, but it failed to gain ground in the polls in preference. It is advertising on television and sending of shippers to households GOP requesting their support in the straw poll.
About 100 voters participated in the fundraising Hall of Hickory, a local barbecue renamed, where they dined on breast, bean sandwiches and baked potatoes salad.
Though Pawlenty did not mention his GOP rival by name, he repeatedly and forcefully called Obama, saying that the President has failed to find solutions to critical issues, such as social security and Medicare.
"When we elect someone a President who is an organizer of the old community, who was in the Senate just long enough to have a cup of coffee and never, never ran something and we him in the Oval Office and wonder why it doesn't work: it does not work because it has misled the country into thinking"., it is a reasonable candidate, "Pawlenty said." Is it dangerous liberal who has no real experience anything running. No mystery why it isn't working, it is not an index. »
After talking for nearly an hour, Pawlenty, speaking with journalists outside, distanced from comments made by one of the co-chairs of the campaign. Vin Weber, speaking of the Hill, just said "sex appeal" is one of the strengths of the Bachmann. (Weber has since apologized).
"I do not believe that he or anyone who must use a reference to a person sex appeal to judge their fitness for Office," said Pawlenty.
He also had a small pleasure, talking with journalists blog pop and politics of his penchant for Lady Gaga. First he asked them what Gaga songs were among their favorites, and then he listed "bad Romance" and "Born This Way" as his own.
He described Gaga as "interesting, talented, kinda weird. Noting how the pop star sang "Born This Way" a cappella in a HBO special, Pawlenty noted, "she can sing."
