I personally can’t stand Paulsen he is Bachmann’s twin and the worst to ever hold office in the district.

We Minnesotans have to stick together.

I forgot we were talking about a politician, and in such a context words lose all of their real meaning.

Remember, this was four or five years ago. I think the average centrist politician in either party would have the same exact position: Pro gay rights, pro civil union, but “marriage is between a man and a woman” or you lose all those votes. Even today this is the position of some centrists. He voted in favor of prohibiting job discrimination based on sexual orientation in 2007, but also yes on defining marriage as one-man one-woman in 2006.

I should mention that his record on choice is not fully pro choice by any means. But, in the case of both issues, this post is about Sharon Sund and the district she will represent, not about the guy who retired four years ago!

and he was pro gau rights (but did not support gay marriage)

I don’t see how one can be pro-gay rights and not support gay marriage.
