I have a buddy at a rock quarry in Minnesota. He is a Retired Army Warrant Officer and his views on the senator-elect and the people that voted for him are…..colorful, to say the least. S for me, Franken is a useless piece of s***. I would not stand at attention in his presence, regardless of circumstances. He is not worthy of any respect in this old seadog’s eyes, only contempt. Especially, when the election was bought and paid for by acorn and company.

O.K., so he went after the U.N. like a bulldog. Good on him.

But if he had represented his constituents and the people of the United States instead of sucking up to donkey ideas and ways, my guess is he’d still be a senator, and a further guess is he’d be a senator by a comfortable margin.

Take note, Mr. Steele. Take note, Mr. McCain. And take note, Mr. Boehner.

Let me get this straight. For a LONG LONG
periord of time NORM COLEMAN contested the election between him and Al Franken.

Then I read this: A senior politician with the Hezbollah-led bloc told Reuters: “We have lost the election in Lebanon. We accept the result as the will of the people.”

On that basis, Norm Coleman you are a friggin disgrace to humanity.

While MN voters - and by extension, ALL MN residents - deserve al franken, American citizens do not, and unfortunately their vote of no confidence for the Republican incumbent will give Obama al POTUS his super majority on Capitol Hill to ram through his national socialist agenda.

It seems to me this would be a good case for the SCOTUS. If Norm can find the legal stamina and acumen to get it there. Of course there is always the Attorney General’s office….which will not do a thing related to voting fraud, even a cursory investigation as window dressing to show how the Obama Administration is concerned about voter’s rights.

Ah, such is life in the state of Red Green…maybe some well placed duct tape over Coleman’s mouth will smooth the whole thing over???? Sounds about right since they will be stuck with a senator who was a second-class comedy writer/producer.

The MN courts have dropped the ball on this since the beginning. The real place this challenge belongs is in Federal court, as in the SCOTUS. There is ample evidence that the widely disparate ways votes were counted in different precincts and counties are an Equal Protection issue, and there still remains the little problem of double counted votes, suddenly “discovered” votes, etc.

The MN election sucks, it’s as crooked as the Washington state governors race. But with ACORN and Democrat Sec of States running roughshod over fair elections, expect to see this kind of nonsense become par for the course.

As Stalin said, it’s not who votes that counts, but who counts the votes. Americans should be ashamed at what our voting has degenerated into. Iraqi elections were fairer and more honest.

One should bear in mind, too, that there was a 3rd candidate in that race who I think drew more votes from Coleman than Franken, thus illustrating the dangers of 3rd parties: you may well wind up with someone worse.

And Norm had his strong points as a senator: he was like a bulldog going after UN corruption in the Oil-for-Food scandal, and I believe it was he who called on the carpet the execrable George Galloway, erstwhile UK parliamentarian and willing stooge of Saddam.
