Prominent 6th District Conservative

Today, one of the most important Conservative bloggers in the state, who happens to be a leader among 6th Congressional District Republicans, endorsed Representative Krinkie for the Republican nomination for Congress.

Andy Aplikoski, from Residual Forces, writes in part:

"I am supporting Phil Krinkie for the Republican endorsement in the 6th District. I do not mean any ill will to the other candidates, but I believe Krinkie is the best candidate of the four. He is the true fiscal conservative of this race. . .

He was the same guy he has been all 16 years he's been in the House. He didn't need to change his voting style for this race, it was already the envy of the others running which was clear to me by how they were trying to steal it from him. . .

He IS the fiscal conservative in the MN House, a record few even wanted before this race. He is opposed to Northstar and other boondoggle trains. He has voted more consistently against the expansion of Government and increased spending than almost any other Legislator. He is not afraid to look a Governor or fellow Republican in the eye and say that they are dead wrong on supporting taxpayer funding for stadiums with out their approval. . . .

I feel Krinkie is the best one to represent me in Congress, plus I feel he is the best one to keep Mark Kennedy's seat in the red column. His record is unquestionable as a Conservative Republican, and no matter who the Democrats select, he has an advantage."

Here's a little of what he said about Jim Knoblach:

"A true fiscal Conservative he is not. Sure this year has been good, but his lifetime Taxpayer's League lifetime rating cannot be overlooked he's got a 73 lifetime rating."

Here's a little of what he said about Michele Bachmann:

"The Democrats and the media would have a field day demonizing all Republicans by destroying Bachmann. It would be their only purpose of the year. Tear Bachmann limb from limb, and so go the Republicans statewide."

Representative Krinkie is honored to have Andy's endorsement.
