LOL! I was just kidding about the closet.

I did worry about the ski mask you had to wear when you
went to any Republican rallies, though!

“One place GUARANTEED that I’d never set foot in...I’ll drive around the state to make sure I never set foot in that land of loons. The place and it’s people are an absolute DISGRACE and are unfit to be called “American”.”

If one percent of them had voted differently you wouldn’t be posting this drivel. There are plenty of fine people in that state and its childish logic to label them all “an absolute DISGRACE and are unfit to be called American. “ 57% of those who voted in that state didn’t vote for him while plenty of states saw majorities of voters go for socialists.

Three names....

1. Jesse Ventura, a real freak show who supported “gay rights”, “abortion rights”, legalizing prostitution and supported Jean-Fraud Kerry for President. At least 37% voted for this clown.

2. Keith Ellison, anti-American muslim trash. Ellison won the seat with 70.9% in 2006 and 56% of the vote in 2008 with Obama’s full endorsement. His 2002 (66.54%) and 2004 (84.1%)elections, he had higher percentages in elections to the Minnesota House of Representatives.

3. Al Franken, incompetent boob who couldn’t find his backside with both hands and a roadmap won with 42%.

The voters themselves (as well as those in other states who vote similarly) have proven repeatedly that there are enough in the state that are a national disgrace for who they have elected to represent themselves on more than one occasion. All it takes is enough “fine people” to sit on their hands for evil to triumph and prove some folks are just too stupid to cast an informed vote.
