The Honorable "Senator" from Minniesoooooda!

Like Franken, Iran's loser-named-winner, Ahmadinejad, got even more votes on the re-count than he got on the first stuffed-ballot-box count.

I wonder if he will be as coherent as Biden?

It was a 3-way race. I wonder who the 3rd candidate helped — Coleman or diaper boy?

Time to fight them like they chose to fight us. They were helped and abetted by the media, but the Right can take command of this situation by going around the media, and we can recapture the House in 2010. I truly believe this nation is in Election Results Denial. They thought there would be a major transformative wave of “hope and change.” They’re now just numb. It is up to the GOP to capitalize on this huge power grab by the Democrats, and the King Obama. If there was ever a time for GOP gonads, it’s NOW!

Bleah! Gotta find the skeletons in Franken’s closet, like closet queer, multiple mistress, into S&M. He didn’t get to where he is without those skeletons besides being idiot RAT.

Here’s the silver lining - Coleman can knock off Amy when she has to run and in six years any brain dead Republican can knock off Franken.

The flip side of this is Franken couldn't be a better poster boy for our view of the Democrat party. Franken will spin his obscenities in public for the next six years. I predict it will be good to have him around.

I saw his wife for the first time today. Did he take her out on the campaign trail? They look like a perfect SNL comedy couple!

The jackass clown is on his way to the Senate and he’s the perfect poster boy for the Democratic majority.

Shhhhhh....If all that comes out, he’ll beat Obama in 2016!

“Diapers” Franken is as perfectly representative of the Democrat Party as Cynthia McKinney.

I know someone who lives in Minneapolis. Her excuse for voting for Obama was that she believes a rising tide lifts all boats.

So, if we are forced by our government to give our money (what’s left after it first feeds the bureaucracies) to ACORN types and Islamic countries the world over then we’ll somehow be better off......

ARRGH!

The nation needs to be reminded every few weeks about Franken. Every few weeks.

Somehow I see Sen. Byrd as the messiah’s nemesis.

We shall see.

This is crazy. Yes it was a very close election. But Coleman was ahead by 700+ votes on election night. Ever since then, the re-count and additional absentee ballots only added to Franken’s total, never adding to Coleman.

Sad to say, Republicans have to win elections by bigger margins so that re-counts and newly discovered ballots can’t be used to change an election result.

So, to get from about 700 ahead to 312 behind was a swing of about 1000 votes. It’s probably easy for the Dems. to find that many extra votes somewhere.

Remember in 2004, how the Democrats wanted to make Ohio’s vote re-count into another Florida? Bush was ahead on election night by about 120,000 votes, and the final count after they did their provisional count and re-count showed Bush ahead by about 89,000 votes. That was a swing of about 30,000 statewide in Ohio. It wasn’t enough to change the outcome that year, but in a close election it would have been plenty.

Bottom line is that Republicans have to win by many thousands of votes to prevent the vote manipulation that can happen.

It also increases your chance of drowning.

FU Franken.... Wish you could make it to SE Texas so we could give you a swift kick in the testicles. Uh nevermind, I understand you have none of those.

Skeletons?...The brain dead of Minnesoata looked past Franken's proven tax evasion charges.

The Body, and now Stuart Smalley. You folks in Minnesoata sure have a lot to be proud of.

One might hope that this additional democratic clown would provide the specific gravity required for all their clowns to fall to fighting among themselves for the center ring.

Good job, Minnesota. You certainly picked a weiner.
