time. you said you opposed the tax. in the end, you voted for it. now you promise never to raise taxes. why would you compromise then, but not now? >> that's right. i was very vocal against that tax. and i fought against that tax. the problem is, when the deal was put together, governor pawlenty cut a deal with the special interest groups and he put in the same bill, a vote to increase the cigarette tax, as well as the vote that would take away protections from the unborn. i made a decision, i believe in the sanctity of human life. and i believe you can get money wrong, but you can't get life wrong. that's why i came down on that decision that i made. [ applause ] >> governor pawlenty, do you have a response? >> what is wrong in the answer is the answer. congresswoman bachmann didn't vote for nabil because of a stripping away of pro-life protection she voted for it
