Al Franken Moves Closer to Congress

Imagine – a pant load like Al-never was funny- Franken in the Senate. We’ve gone over the edge as a responsible nation. That costic bag of gas couldn’t even keep his own moronic radio show – and now he’s got one foot on the Senate floor of the United States. I must be living in a parrallel universe.

I hope that Franken wins this race and is installed in the senate. This country has been pursuing failed ploicies under Bush and Coleman, and Franken will help to reverse those ploicies.

Brother Bill – you’re joking right? That’s a joke. May another Republican never win another race – BUT that doesn’t mean that a mean spirited bag of gas like Al Franken should walk the Senate floor. I am sorry, the Democrats can and should do better than this farce.

Give em hell, Al…………

I have read several of soon to be Senator Franken’s books and I find his ideas about where our country has gone wrong to be well reasoned. Unlike our current president, he is capable of writing a coherent sentence, and I’m confident that he would not involve us in another needless middle-eastern war.

Coleman is an opportunistic turncoat who had served as Democratic mayor of St. Paul and Bill Clinton’s state campaign chair. Franken can be caustic but is a thinker as well. Minnesota already has one member of congress who is both caustic and obnoxious–Michelle Bachman who happens to be a Republican. I always wonder if this would have turned out differently if Minnesotans could vote a straight ticket which is apparently not the case from examination of the ballots.

How do Minnisotans feel about Hollywood money and George Soros (is he even an American?) buying your senate seat for an outsider. Will Franken represent you or his LA glitter-head buddies and his socialist multi-billionaire mentor/sponsor?

How hard is this to understand?
IMPROPERLY REJECTED.
That means that the ballot was rejected for an incorrect reason and should have been counted.
So, why doesn’t Coleman want them counted?
Coleman also wants additional ballots that were PROPERLY REJECTED to now be counted. If they were rejected in accordance with the law, why should they now count?
What is also interesting in all of this is that we don’t know what the rejected ballots (improperly or properly) will show. So, they could give Coleman a lead after counting. I live in MN and voted for Coleman, but now wish I hadn’t.
The way I see it now is that Franken has no reason to agree to allow them in — except that he is an honest man who wants to count all legitimate votes. Coleman wants to cherry pick and make rules as he goes along.

Senator Franken
Hannity and Rush is going to absolutely love this.
ahahahahahaha

Let’s see the Dems can’t win an election outright wo they have to stoop to trying to pervert the process. Al Gore did it as well as others. Al claims he wants to make sure that all votes get counted but the problem is he wants all votes to count for him. How this can hppen in America is beyond belief. Maybe we should have snet Jimmy Carter into Minnesota to oversee the lecetions. HA!

great, we need REAL people like Franken and also Kennedy in the Senate, not just lawyers.

Franken has enough credibility problems as it is. Can’t imagine what happens if he gets his way and is seated in the Senate before the vote is made official by the courts.

As a Minnesotan, I’m proud of our history of voter turnout. Coleman blew his chances as a spokesman for the GOP at the 04 convention, telling of Bush’s vast ability. Franken is as capable as Coleman, without the major Bush league baggage. It is not as if Coleman campaigned on his accomplishments.

Hey GOP crybabies I’ve got your crying towel. Coleman is a loser like your witch doctor Queen Sarah You Betcha Palin. GOP supporters support such losers! Go Al Go!

Al Franken got into Harvard on his own merit, not daddy’smoney. He has had only one wife and has a daughter who is a school teacher. His radio program and the television rebroadcast on Sundance Channel were immensely popular until he resigned to go back to Minnesota and run for the Senate, and his books were best sellers. Why is it that every time we get an articulate, educated and principled candidate the GOP tries to ridicule the traits we should be seeking in a candidate. It is amazing how many wife-cheaters, marginal students, and intellectual midgets the GOP tries to pass off as “qualified” to make the laws and/or run the country.
The argument structure in his books is well laid out and logical. It will be a refreshing change to hear coherent sentences and not GOP rambling.

Our country is literally being hijacked by far-left nutjob organizations like ACORN, MOVEON ect.
This liberal traitor franken seems to gain with every “new” found vote. How many elections will the democrats steal before the American people say enough is enough!?
I guess a country who just voted in a racist socialist probably isn’t going to be too upset about voting in another socialist to the senate up in MN.
Great job America- our founding Fathers would be so proud of us!

Ahh…you poor little Rush listen, Bush hugging, goose stepping GOP heads. You lost this election because you have you heads so far up your butts that you see daylight. You still believe the lies!! This election was won by people who seek the truth. Al may make some very interesting, if not comical speeches on the floor of the Senate. I am sure CSPAN will enjoy the ratings boost. I live outside the state of Minnesota & contributed to Al’s campaign because this country needs a BIG change. If you don’t like it why don’t you all move to French Guiana and start your utopian society…I’ll even send that special batch of Kool Aid just for you.

Typical Democrat election fraud: Count the votes, figure out how many their lackey needs to win, then viola, the votes appear.

Annie,
So the GOP is the party of wife cheaters? What about all of the Kennedys? What about John Edwards as well as hundreds of others. Oh yeah, what about that Mayor who just got sent to prison? Your an idiot!

You liberals have really stepped up your level idiocracy if franken is voted in.
Why can’t we just take a survey and those of us who love the constitution and love America get to stay.
While those who would rather see someone like Chavez or Castro take power here in the US (barry O is their distant cousin) get to leave and enjoy the phenomenal benefits of socialism in another country.

liberalsaresocialist, if we want input from trailer trash we will call you.

If a Conservative were to say the things that Franken has said, it would be a major scandal. The PC crowd always protects its friends.

“If a Conservative were to say the things that Franken has said, it would be a major scandal.”
More B.S. from a NeoConnie. Coleman is going down via the FBI.

The only reason he (Al Franken) is running for this is because he’s lost his shirt at everything else and there is that lucrative retirement plan you get just for doing only 6 years–assuming you can survive that long without being called out. I can almost guarantee it that he; if he does get placed in which is likely to happen, would make Minnesota a laughing stock. As a believer we’re supposed to pray for our leaders but this is one that I can comfortably deny and say; No way.

I think it is great myself that people are not afraid to oust the Washington establishment. I think it perfectly fine that people like Schwarzenegger, Ventura, Reagan and now Franken can run for national office. The poblem is that for years people think that your typical politician are the only ones qualified to hold office. I find this to be to the contrary. We are finally taking this country in a new direction and I think that it is time for change. I do feel like this is make it or break for the Democrats. Now that they hold Senate, House and Presidency, the bar is going to be set high and people will expect them to deliver. The GOP got too power hungry and was hit by so many scandals over the last 10 years. The Democrats are going to have to prove they are the party of change and of new ideas and compassion.

Al will make a great Senator, he is more qualified than farmer Tester of Montana or any attorney in the US.

I love it! Franken’s a senator! Now maybe C-Span won’t be so boring. Live from Washington, It’s Capitol Hill Live!

Republicans just can’t accept that the AMERICAN PEOPLE have rejected them! How could God do this to them??

This Hollywood “F” lister is a bigger joke than Leno’s night monologue. He coulnd’t cut the mustard in L.A. so he figures he can fool stupid midwesterners by crying until the election results in his favor. If I lived in his district I would be deeply offended and outraged. Franken could give a rat’s rear end what the good people of Minnesota think or feel. But that’s okay…he’ll sell out for the first opportunity to co-star next to any Hollywood “A” lister. Typical of the dems, cry foul and then blame everyone else for the mess they created.

Wow! What deep insight on Minnesota politics. Now explain to your readers why the Dems chose a 1/2 rate ‘comedian’ over all the respectable blacks, asians and hispanics in the state

That a pretty interesting statement coming from a guy who obviously supports a party who elects people on their merit as football coaches, pitchers, quarterbacks, and actors. Would you like me to name names for you and keep score? Lets just see which party it is who spends their life voting for celebrity.
You guys really are as dumb as you sound aren’t you?

Sadly Al Franken will be the best qualified Democrat Senator we have ! Since the Senate has become just a big show and no results, we need better performers on stage. Laughter is the best medicine for a terminal prognosis, which is the condition of the incoming congress !

“While the Republicans will wisely right their ship over the next few years with a new breed of leadership”
Oh boy can’t wait!! Ya got Sarah (dumb as a rock) Palin, Bobby the exorcist) Jindal, Rudy (9/11-9/11, Mitt (magic underware) Mike (my kid kills dogs for fun) Huckabee….yep, your party is just overflowing with mental and moral giants. New breed…..ROTFLMAO

I live in Texas and have contributed money to Al Franken’s campaign. Win or lose, I really appreciate the way that he has stood up and fought back against the GOP’s efforts to once again disenfranchise the voters of America. Too bad Al Gore didn’t have the cajones to do the same thing. The last 8 years would have been so much different.

Hey Cha – please get lost. You and Bush should be ashamed of yourselves. Anyone but Bush and Chaney repeats. Chas how about Impeaching the whole lot of them = including Rows. Bring on Fitzgerald.

This election needs to be investigated by the FBI before anyone is elected to anything. I think Al Franken may have rigged the election with the “idea” that all’s well that ends well regardless of the consequences. But, what do I know? Sounds like a duck to me.

Like it or not, in both houses of Congress working with the “opposition” is the only way to get anything done.
If Franken displays his brand of vitriol in the Senate towards those with whom he disagrees like he did on his radio show, his successes will be few, if any. He can’t work with them if they won’t even talk to him!

I recently came across your blog and have been reading along. I thought I would leave my first comment. I don’t know what to say except that I have enjoyed reading. Nice blog. I will keep visiting this blog very often.
