What a surprise - another democrat in office re criminal ways. Votes all of a sudden found in a trunk all for him? This election has been a joke.

Come on, slowly the democrats are turning out to be what everyone thought they were getting rid of.. dishonest politicians!

- Like Bush, Coleman has done everything in his power to prevent securing an honest count of the votes. Before a single vote count was checked, he tried to usurp Minnesota law and stop a legally mandated recount.
- His attorneys evoked the Republican travesty in Florida in 2000, which not only pissed off the MN judge, but reminded everyone that the Supreme Court at the time acknowledged how flawed their decision was by taking the rare move of declairing it unworthy of being used as a precedent in future cases. 2000 was when Republicans had the gall to argue "Federal precedence" in the Florida courts and then turned Schizophrenic and argued "States Rights" at the Supreme Court. We could debate the legality of that stance, but it is without question dishonest.
-Whereas Democrats work to ensure that as many eligible Americans as possible exercise their right to vote, Coleman follows the Republican strategy of disenfranchising as many voters as possible, no matter how specious and transparent the tactics required.

I know that radical right wingers like to take refuge in the mantra "Don't confuse me with the facts, I know what I believe," but it would help if they backed their rantings with some real data?

So far, the only party clearly trying to break the law is Coleman. Last I checked, he is Republican.

And doggone it, people like him.
Congratulations to Al Franken. Comedians are unique. Since humor is based on truth, he's probably decent and honest. I don't know of any dirt about him. I wish him well. Anna

There is a long tradition of stealing elections by the democrats. There is plenty of grounds for suspicion on precedent alone.

Bush actually beat the dems at their own game in Y2K and was greeted by a level of hatred that borders on treason for 8 years. Between the lefthate and the press that spread it mainstream, they actually persuaded the US to vote for a total unknown, possibly even non-citizen, for POTUS.

I actually hope frankie wins. His special dullard demeanor, serial lying, and blatant hatred would make a good addition to the demuhcrat party. I'd like to see him get Howard Dean's job too. With the lie/hate/steal elections/mentally challenged thing down pat, he is a model democrat, and we should put him in leadership immediately.

As far as making that list of scandals, go for it. If you know your history it isn't even a challenge. Think tamminay hall, the chicaqgo machine(s), the Kennedy election, the whole opposing equal rights for blacks for over 100 years, there is plenty of dirt on the democrats.

In modern times it is overwhelming. Look at the blanco/nagan failures that they hung on bush & fema, clinton's 8 years alone would fill volumes, pick any major city and it is dirty and failing. It isn't even a challenge.

Don't hate me, debate me, you might learn something..

You obviously listen to Limbaugh, the bone head.

The responses to my comment are too much fun.

I am not a Bush fan or Limbaugh listener. I am far too independent to be pigeonholed with those clowns, though I would trade investment portfolios with limbaugh. I appreciate your projected stereotypes though.

**... please teach us the ways of the mentally handicapped, the morally repugnant and the falsely patriotic.** Sorry I am not the right guy for that, you might try huffpo, dem underground, or kos for your source on that. You won't have any trouble finding what you seek there.

.**Do not fret that you are part of a dying breed and that contemporary America has left you behind.** Contemporary America has indeed left me behind. The large scale failure of the public schools and higher education institutions has allowed the principals of the founding fathers to be exchanged for those offered by Marx and Keynes. The ignorance of history in our population is one of its biggest burdens, and that is why 'contemporary America' is leaving me behind..

**Your sour grapes are not a symptom of deep seated hatred but of your honorable and courageous desire for an utterly ovine populace ruled by a compassionate Republican military/torture state.** Do you really believe that? While I do frequently refer to the people that suck into the drivel that the MSM and big brother oozes from the telescreen as sheeple, it is an expression of dismay that they have given up independent thought for following the herd. A Republican military torture state? I don't recall advocating that at all, nor would I. I would much prefer lifting the burden of huge government and central planning and allowing a truly free society. I don't want the dolts at the DMV and their brethren running every aspect of my life in some nanny state.

**We await your even tempered and sagacious counsel.** As you should, multiple points of view are generally a good thing. Plugging your ears and screaming LA LA LA when opposing viewpoints are presented will lead to a very narrow world view and life as an ignorant prole.

**Heil Bush!** That is really a sad comment. The bush derangement syndrome is strong in this one.

Generally when a discussion falls to the level of invoking Hitler, it is an indication that it has reached the end of reason. Since you crossed that line, let us dance.

Hitler was the head of the national socialist party. The parallels between the modern day democrat party and our present social and economic situation and the scenario in late 1920s Germany are stunning. You have oh bama giving speeches in Berlin. You have him advocating a domestic civilian quasi-military force frighteningly similar to the green and brownshirts with a budget the size of the pentagon/military. Much like today,1920s Germany was very big on environmentalism, almost to the point of obsession. Our world economy and drive/need for change has lead us to elect a radical socialist without consideration of the consequences. History is repeating itself with stunning clarity, but unfortunately, most of the history has not been taught to the sheeple, and so it is a new cartoon to them. It is a frightening path. Incidentally, my father helped liberate two concentration camps in WWII.

I am not a bush hugger or supporter, or a limbaugh listener, but I understand your stereotypical response. Your replies are appreciated.

**Don't hate me, debate me, you might learn something.. **

there will be cases where 60 votes can be found to break a fillibuster. That has not been possible for 14 years. The radical right has been jumping up and down and saying that the democrats were ineffective because they couldn't get anything done. That, of course, is true because there was no fillibuster proof senate. The guilty party has been the republican party.

Right wingers are not patriots. They are anti-american. They are pro every place big business wants to move an american job. That cannot be patriotic.

I am slowly learning to hate all republicans. I simply avoid republicans when I can. That means the loss of some old friends.
