Al Franken wins Senate seat

Digital_Trucker · 01-05-09, 05:47 PM

Jeez, just what we need, another joke for a politician

Guess he can't screw it up much worse than the "professionals".

No he didn't. Minnesota election law says that the state cannot award a certificate of election if one party contests the results.

Stephen Colbert is a Sunday School teacher. Al Franken has done funny stuff, but why hold it against him? Especially something so obviously not a regualr habit for him?

Im not so sure "won" is the proper word.

More like 'claimed' through litigation.

The whole mess stinks to holy hell.

Votes counted twice because duplicates were not marked, votes thrown out because... well just because, votes challanged because they were "not clear". Absentee votes by enlisted men discounted because they were "lost" then found but too late to be counted.

The whole thing should be thrown out and voted over. The whole mess smells.

Republicans have become, as Phil Gramm might put it, a party of whiners. Some of the whining almost defies belief.

The Dems have become the election stealers they accused the Repubs of being. Mark my words. If they let Franken steal this election to this man they will come to regret it.

That is not a photoshop Zachstar, he really did pose for that picture. In any case I think you'd react quite differently if it was a republican...

No I would not have. Because the show has crap like that all the time. It is called satire. It you wish to fault a candidate because they participated in satire than you need to learn to laugh. Because it has zero and I mean zero impact on the man's ability to vote yes or no.

Any idiot can vote yes or no Zachstar. The question is will the author of such scintillating titles as "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right" have any clue what he's voting for?

Obviously you won't admit this because he's your guy, but we both know that he's nothing but a partisan hack who will end up embarrassing the Democratic party, but i'm afraid not before he does his part to widen the partisan gulf that is tearing this country apart.

Re-count til you get the desired result. repeat as needed. Oh well, you get what you vote for. Where's Wellstone when you need him. Atleast he was classy, this guy is just a chump.

Zachstar · 01-05-09, 10:42 PM

Ok so that is 2 that is confirmed to need to laugh.
