...Franken put up a big fuss and wanted a recount...
Posted by mariannpepit at 9:13 AM : Apr 23, 2009

Well that's just a big fat lie. The recount was automatic, all Al had to do was standby. It was Coleman that fussed about the required recount, saying he they should save taxpayer's money. Now look at him spend it.

Just more republican Hypocrite Lip Service.

Franken should not have been running for that seat in the first place. Why would anyone in their right mind want to vote for a comedian who doesn't have the experience in politics to know what's going on in the world. All he knows is the big screen. We have enough dumbocrats in the house and senate and we don't need another dumbo.

Coleman and the GOP can lie to the American people. However, the people of Minnesota have seen the fully transparent recount and the nonpartisan professionalism of the election officials. The people of Minnesota know this has been one of the fairest elections, and are PROUD of their record of holding fair elections. The only thing the GOP and Coleman are doing is poisoning their chances for future elections. The people of Minnesota know the truth, even if the GOP spends millions trying to distort that truth.

Well of course Franken and his corrupt recounters want Coleman to lose. Didn't Franken put up a fuss when Coleman was declared the winner? I wouldn't vote for Franken if he needed one vote to win. He is as dumb as they come and should stay a comedian. Plus get rid of those glasses he wears. They are horrible looking.

Have you no shame Mr. Coleman? Now that you know you have lost, you delay the inevitable to help your contributors and GOP friends in Congress. Your days in MN politics are done. You are ensuring the GOP will lose more elected offices in MN.

This is a farce. Coleman, get a life and let the rest of the world get on with it. What a sore loser!

He had a beautiful, transparent recount, nonpartisan (every bit of it monitored by equal numbers of Dems and Republicans - not to mention broadcast so everyone could and did watch it), as even Republicans admit, even Republicans are telling him to give it up. He lost. Now he's just trying to get in good with the extremist wings of his party by acting as a spoiler.

Gore did win the election but got cheated out of the presidency just like Coleman is getting cheated out of the seat. Coleman won in the first place but Franken put up a big fuss and wanted a recount. But the recounters apparently threw many of Coleman's votes down the gutter. This has been the worst underhanded democrat election in years. Thank goodness Dean retired as DNC. He is corrupt as can be and Pelosi is next.

NO surpises here. The 'pubs know this seat is lost, so all they have left the Big Stall, the party of NO strikes again.

And even more swing voters vow to never vote republican again...

What democracy are you talking about? Coleman won that seat originally until Franken started this mess. We all know how recounts work and how the dumbocrats play the game. This is not the days when Bill Clinton won the presidency. This is now with Pelosi, Reid, Dean and Durbin who are the most underhanded dumbocrats in politics. I agree with Coleman and let's get rid of that judge who no doubt may be a dumbocrat also.

Mr. Coleman was an assine fool whe he was senator, also a big cry baby. He cares nothing about his country or the state in which he lives. He is a sorry excuse for a man.

Franken needs to go back to being a comedian. He is the biggest joke in politics. Go back to Hollywood Franken that's where you belong. We have enough underhanded democrats in the house and senate and we don't need anymore. Coleman won that seat originally but the recounters didn't want him to win so they played dirty pool.That's how the dumbocrats win their seats.

I believe that Coleman won that seat but he got railroaded by the recount. There probably was democrats doing the recount and threw many of Coleman's votes away or did not count them. Its a shame how democrats steal elections. Franken should not be the winner and the judge should have all votes recounted by republicans as well as democrats.

Well of course the sore-loser wants to slow things down (like fives months of the Quixotic nonsense isn?t enough) The longer he draws it out for the RNC the longer the Dems don?t have two votes in Minnesota.
He doesn?t care about democracy.
