Maybe one day, the good people of Minnesota will grow weary of Franken’s tired act and send him packing.

Looks like a big shuffle in the Dem’s Senate leadership is in play. We’re starting to hear noise from the pipsqueaks.

Obamacare passed without one Republican vote.

Not a single one.

And democrats try to blame it’s colossal failure on republucans...

He’s funnier as a Senator than he was as a comedian.

Al, first of all your man said premiums would decrease by 2500 and one could keep their plan. Repubs want repeal to make a better deal than that one. Your deal, AL, if you would look has gone to pot. Repeal is the way to fix it.

Because Republicans had exactly zero input into the Obamacare monstrosity? Because Republicans cast exactly zero votes for final passage? Because the courts have permitted the Obama administration to make up the rules as they go along?

Democrats own every detail of this streaming pile of dung.

This is all Stuart Smalley has? Blame Republicans for trying to ditch the democrats’ toxic law? That sound you hear is the bottom of the barrel being scraped.

Actually, you can blame Al Franken. He and the Democrats stole his Senate seat with a margin of victory that was about three times the number of illegal votes that were found to have been cast by felons.

And Al Franken’s first act in office was to cast the deciding vote to pass Obamacare.

Sorry, typo: his margin of victory was about one-third the number of illegal votes cast by felons.

Al Franken also stole the election he was in so he is a criminal. The democrats found “missing” votes in northern Minnesota union office plus there were other fraudulent votes.
