Comments on: Minnesota Court Rules for Franken

[dartplayer501]

Last time the GOP lost the house, senate and the White House, it took them 40 years to come back. Here's to the next 40.

Now that the Minnesota Supreme Court has spoken, we can cut the stalling by the losers and seat Senator-elect Al Franken now. Just because Rush Limbaugh and a few conservatives claim that the election was "stolen" doesn't make it so. For all of you who claim to believe in states' right, this should be it...accept the outcome and, if your candidate didn't win, there's always another election.

Re: "...accept the outcome and, if your candidate didn't win, there's always another election.

Seriously. I mean, all you have to do to win in America is prove that you put your constituents first, and are not in reality the tool of a few individuals or corporations.

Now that is a handicap that the Republicans suffer from - but it is a handicap they decided they wanted and so they sought it. If a Republican wants to bad enough, he or she can go back to being an American, first and foremost.

I am sad to say, however, that I have seen no indication that they have any desires along those lines.

Worse, the Republicans jump and dance to the tunes sung by the right-wing radio and television talking heads, and the latter are in general paid by and thus are the tools of people whose wealth grows whenever legislation that puts the well-being of the American people second is passed.

Old cap-toothed Coleman lost to that one comedian on Saturday Night Live reads Coleman's obituary.

LMAO!!!

I knew normie would drop it after this.

The Governors chair will be opening up now that Pawlenty is bowing out before he is forced out.

Norm never would have gained the seat in the first place if Senator Wellstone didn't die in a plane crash 1 week before the last election years ago. Wellstone was extremely popular and Coleman didn't stand a chance.

Now that the govenors chair is open Coleman will likely run for that (again.......and lose......again.)

I'm not particularily thrilled with the prospect of Franken, but Coleman was nothing but the same old BS from the Bush days.

Good Bye......Good Riddence.

YOu are wrong. The republicans have the idiots, Inhofe, Shelby, Bunting, michele Bachman, Colburn, Cornyn, Perry, Sanford, Palin, Ensign etc etc I would take those you named rather than the republicans I mentioned. Would the last republican leaving Washington, turn off the limpballs mike

Is it possible that Barney is his father? There appears to have been a misprint on the birth certificate.

What will likely actually happen is some of the "blue dogs" in the House who tagged themselves as Democrats in order to get their foot in the door will drop all pretense of being anything but covert Republicans.

Legislation does have to go through both the Senate AND the House - and money speaks far louder than honor, ethics, morality, or even patriotism to too many of our elected officials.

On the bright side, it won't be long before we know who has to go next!

A wonderful addition to our socialist movment. Down with Capitalism. Long Live Obama! Long Live Pelosi!

The country will fall without a single shot being fired. Chickens are coming home to roost!!!

Congragulations Al Franken its GREAT to have another Democrat in Washington.

[gravyboat4000]

It is a big deal.

Who is more likely to side with the President, Colman, or Franken?

Sure, they won't get 60 on ALL votes, but it will be fun to watch.
