Comments on: Franken Certified Winner Of Minn. Recount

Democrat Takes Slim Victory In Senate Recount But Rival Norm Coleman Vows Legal Challenge

[omega40]

Well this is good news. Coleman will soon be off the government dole and able to pursue a plethora of opportunities in the private sector that he and his fellow GOPers helped create. I hope Mr. Coleman is not a hypocrite and rejects any outgoing benefits such as health care, pension or unemployment compensation in the name of smaller government and leading the rest of us by example.

The GOP now has lost complete control of congress and of the administration and yet they still think it is a fluke that they lost.

The swing voters warned you over and over about moderation but you refused to listen. They next time it will be even worst.

Moderate or go the way of the wigs.

Both of you spelled Minnesota wrong btw. But yeah, how will he run down Minnesota from a Senate seat? He needs 50 other Senators to do anything.

No, he was right. With 100 senators a majority vote is 50 + 1 = 51

Franken''s books were some of the first to sound the alarm about what Bush&Co were doing - while our so-called liberal media were nothing more than inept cheering squads for the lies and corruption of the neocons.

I am looking forward to Senator-Elect Franken''s term. He is an honest and very bright man.

[dinkydog1]

It''s offical now, even a has been comedian can now defeat a Republican incumbent.

HAHAHAHA

[Mccarthyaw]

They all deserve Frankin, he ran air america into the ground, let him run Minninsota into the ground also. If you were stupid enough to vote for him, you deserve him.

I think you are missing the point. Franken, who seems to have actually had voters will probably not be seated before Burris or Kennedy.

Its the people who pay for the senate seats that will get in first and the voter''s choice will have to wait.

The voters, Dem and GOP are the ones who are getting screwed by the people with the money. Your vote is now the joke. It doesn''t matter who the people want to see in office when the seat can be bought outright.

Maybe Blogo isn''t that bad after all. It seems now that his position was "Somebody is going to pay someone for the seat, it might as well be me that gets paid". At least he is more up front about it than Paterson. Paterson will get his money in a brown envelope from the Democratic party, Blogo just wanted the check made out to him personally.

More rewriting history I see. Al Franken was Air America''s highest rated radio show and he even beat Bill O''Reilly head to head in a number of markets on a regular basis.

To pepperwood: Sounds like you should not waste your time here and go back to peppering your wood!

[pepperwood2]

What a joke, is it, and a clown no less! All we need is Caroline to buy & bribe her way to the Senate seat in NY. This must be the Queer CHANGE we heard so much about. CACKLE CACKLE CACKLE

SHADENFREUDEN ! ! ! ! ! ! !

[martin9p2]

We can take some solace from the results. In 2000, the Supreme Court and GOP screwed the people. In 2008, the people screwed the GOP with judicial oversight.

[sleepyric]

gee, it''s Florida 2000 all over again...Quick...send James Baker to Minnesota to file lawsuits for Coleman. How does it feel GOP to be screwed by the voters???

[spiritwalk]

don''''t get your meaning here sparky! Other than that tired old fascist idea of Guilt by Association, what does FRANKIN have to do with our fine City of Chicago? What district in Minn. had more votes than people? Me thinks you have been playing with that swastika way to long!

What do you expect out of somebody like that. He thinks Caroline Kennedy should be a senator because her father was the president and that''s the extent of his reasoning. (Yelling fascist and sieg heil is the most intelligent response he can muster)

Burris was appointed by a governor that wanted an appoitmentee who would put money in his own pocket.

Kennedy is going to be appointed by a governor who wants an appointmentee who will put money in the pocket of the NY Dem. party.

What''s the difference? A payoff is a payoff no matter who gets the money.

The senate is for sale. We all know it, we''ve always known it.

And remind sparky that Caroline''s father became president because his family paid Richard Daly to stuff the Chicago ballot boxes to win Illinois and defeat Nixon and paid him with the money old Joe Kennedy made running booze with the mob during prohibition.

And we wonder why the rest of the world has no respect for America.

[irmcvet971]

It is easy to win when you have more votes in a precient than there are voters. Guess they learned something from Chicago.

They all deserve Frankin, he ran air america into the ground, let him run Minninsota into the ground also. If you were stupid enough to vote for him, you deserve him.

Maybe 225 votes aren''''t much of a majority, but it is about 224 supporters more than Burris or Caroline Kennedy have and they will probably be seated in the senate before Franken.

Franken may be the comedian, but Burris and Kennedy are the jokes.

Posted by spiritwalk at 07:08 AM : Jan 06, 2009


How is that? You fascist amaze me and I''d really like to know how you feel the former AG of this state and the daughter of one of our greatest Presidents are Jokes? Now NORMAL people could argue that Burris''s job appointment is tainted by someone else.. HOW does that make HIM a joke. Normal People might argue that there are OTHERS more qualified than Ms. Kennedy but how does THAT make her a joke! You see that''s the problem with FASCISM!! When you look under it all, you find NOTHING but stupidity! Sieg Heil Y''all.

Is there ONE fascist on these boards that can actually READ and respond to a fellow citizen? It''s always the same tired old trash they learned as teens at their local skin head chapter!
