North Star Politics

When I started this blog back in May, I would read some of the high-traffic Minnesota blogs like Minnesota Democrats Exposed and say "Gosh, I wish I could do that kind of stuff." After all, as a full-time student with many responsibilities, I figured that some of the heavy-duty investigating was a bit out of my reach.

It has shaken me to my core to learn that Minnesota Democrats Exposed is little more than a tool of the Republican Party of Minnesota.

After all, as the author of North Star Politics, I'm completely anonymous. Not even my family or my closest friends know that I write this blog. Alternatively, it appears that MDE is known to and an associate of the GOP. I'm sure that NSP could have some good dirt if I had DFL operatives holding my hand as I investigated all the crap that Republicans pull on a daily basis. I don't. NSP is not associated with the Democrat-Farmer-Labor party of Minnesota. Period.

MDE does some good work. I'm just very upset to know that MDE has been working hand-in-hand with the GOP. I feel betrayed by one of my idols.
