Comments on: Coleman Concedes; Franken Wins Senate Seat

[CPelzar]

People that think the GOP and Bush bankrupted America are as stupid as dirt. Obamas spending habit is out of control and they will see it in increases in taxes everywhere, loss of more jobs, inflation and a stagnant economy with close to zero growth as Europe has endured and Japan has endured in their lost decade.

We are now practicing the same policies that Europe is abandoning and that resulted in a 10 year and still going recession in Japan.

Obamas insanity is doing the same thing but expecting different results. This man should have never been given our credit card.

DemsCry/DJ - I've told you before that unless you want to prove yourself an idiot, you shouldn't address me.

Take my advice.

Any day junior. Any day you think you are smarter let me know. Your not smarter you just refuse to see anything that has been stated. EVEN IF IT IS PUBLIC RECORD.

Al Franken is about as disgusting as a human being can get. The dems will curse the day he joined the senate. Do we hear Nancy Pelosi of the Senate? Yes we do.

He will be a great recruiter for sane, dedicated people from both parties to get elected to fix the most monumental debt spending spree this country or the world has ever seen. Obamas spending is not sustainable on any level.

Rednomo;

I do not know what planet you are living on, but it must be nice. I guarantee you they are not dead and you will see them come back. So get over yourself. It is pitiful how you guys talk.

Really you need to at the very least post something that has some truth.

Far Out Man!

[dscott2009]

My mistake...Senator Elect Franken...

[darthcheney345]

HA HA HA!

Oh, the Democrats are positively PLACID when an election is decided in the courts in favor of a Democrat entertainer.

But they STILL spit and fume over the election of George W. Bush in 2000....

ROTFLMAO!

[Lawyers-Guns-n-Money]

Comparing unanimity (5-0) to a split decision along ideological lines with a precedent the High Court itself said was an embarrassment is hardly a valid comparison.

[dscott2009]

To Senator Elect Franklin...I would just like to say, You're good enough, your smart enough, and doggone it...people like you.

Congratulations!

BTW I thought this whole thing was over weeks ago...

[stn_sage]

YES! It will be interesting, won't it? It's not true that the Republican
party can't have an effect---they can obstruct, if they choose to do so,
but they have to consider the consequences---the public will only get MADDER at them and they'll lose MORE seats as a result!

And so far, the Democrats are NOT living up to their campaign promises!
They're passing bills, but many of those bills ONLY protect corporate America, and don't help the public! And in some cases, they are actually EXPANDING Bush & Co.'s idiocy on certain issues!

IF they don't improve soon---by the time 2012 rolls around---most elections will be fairly evenly contested!

Yeah, where was that clueless bozo Con Man when Bushoccio and his Crime Family stole two elections?
---------------------------------

Well, then it was OK with him, because RepubliNazis live on the two-rule system! One set of rules that everyone else FOLLOWS, and NO rules that they follow! Pretty simple, huh?!

[dscott2009]

notblue...you do make a good point. With Majority control in the hands of the Democrats, any blame for failure will now be on them.

[stn_sage]

Why are you talking about George Bush, the article's about Coleman?!

[stevex47]

Repubs like a good joke, hence their votes for the joke palin.

[bradkt1]

The bottom line is that Coleman lost a close race. American elections have been tested by a series of very close elections over the last decade...and when you are scrapping for every vote, this is where a few votes can easily change the outcome, I don't buy the argument that assumes that false votes for Franken were produced after the election...one could just as easily say that the votes weren't totaled up right the first time they were counted. Whenever there is a recount, vote totals almost always change slightly, but the revised totals only make a difference in a really close election like this one. Usually, any gains in a recount by the losing candidate on election night aren't enough to reverse the outcome. This time, they were.

To those who wish to allege some kind of voting fraud occured here, I say that the burden is on you to produce some actual proof and not just make wild charges. Neither Coleman nor his lawyers were able to do so. The fact that each and every argument made by Coleman's lawyers was rejected by a unanimous Minnesota Supreme Court (and every other court this case came before) really takes the wind out of the sails of those who would say that Al Franklen stole the election. He didn't steal it...he won. Respect the results.

Congrats to Senator-elect Al Franken. I would have said the same thing about former Senator Norm Coleman had he won.

Republicans should be happy that Al Franken is now a US Senator. This makes him subject to the rules of the Senate that can have him censored if he continues to furnish more comedy scripts that lampoon the elected political leaders.

Al Franken has given up his rights to lampooning his political opponents now that he is a US Senator.

You can bet your britches that the Republicans will watch and police Franken's connections to NBC's SNL comedy staff writers.

Bye Bye Norm.....

Hey Sparky, anyone looking at South Carolina right now and making a stupid statement like this should seek medical help. LOL When you look at the Kool Aid Drinkers, their Party of "Family Values" and the MAJOR HYPOCRITE leading the way in that State, the people of Minnesota have a LOT to be proud of... an AWFUL LOT!

[bigsk8fan]

it is about time to end this circus. this is what americans wanted when they voted overwhelmingly for barack obama and the democrats. hope over fear. elections have consequences. change is here!

[skyk-2009]

Are you serious? With GEORGE W. BUSH out there you have the insanity to post something like this? How many WRONG Countries for the WRONG Reason has Frankin Attacked? ROFLMAO

[midiwiz58]

No Norm, No More....
