Norm Coleman: Textbook Example of GOP Cowardice
EEE ^ | 03 JANUARY 2009 | EEE

Posted on 01/03/2009 8:10:37 PM PST by Extremely Extreme Extremist

In the movie "Friday," Smokey (played by Chris Tucker) and Craig (played by rapper Ice Cube) are routinely harassed by Debo (played by Tommy Lister, Jr.) Debo takes their jewelry and their money throughout the movie, before Craig finally stands up to him and kicks his behind.

There are parallels to the movie and to today's Republican Party, but unfortunately there won't be a heroic ending, just a never-ending loop of bumbling Republicans bending over and doing whatever the Dems want, sort of like a Laurel and Hardy short. Here we have in Minnesota, Norm Coleman is getting the rug completely pulled out from under him, and not a peep from Coleman, the MN GOP, conservative blogs & activists, or from the RNC.

WHERE IS THE F OUTRAGE?

Is the Republican Party really going to let a half-twit, not funny, former SNL flunky who used to call himself Stuart Smalley steal a United States Senate seat?

Folks, we're talking about a Senate seat here. As a Senator, Franken would be making important votes that not only would affect MN, but would impact the nation as well. Is the Republican Party really going to roll over and die for this clown? This is arguably the most brazenly stolen election in American history. It is the equivalent of bank robbers stealing money with armed police officers solemnly looking on.

But let's get back to Coleman. Does he even want to be Senator anymore? Has he made any angry statements denouncing Franken, ACORN, and the post-election tactics used? Where is Coleman at anyway? Probably yukking it up with Mitt Romney and other country club Republicans who talk about liberals not like some terminal illness that they are, but rather mere inconveniences with whom we have to work with, as the blue-bloods casually shrug their shoulders. Oh, Coleman is probably standing by, holding his head up, "confidently" believing that the recount will somehow go his way. All for the sake of bipartisanship, you know. The man is getting his job stolen from him and he wants to display bipartisanship and be "above the fray." What a bunch of vomit inducing crock if I don't kill myself first from the dry heaves. This is the same disgusting, milquetoast, compassionate conservatism crapola that has caused the Republican Party to lose 2 consecutive elections. The GOP has no spinal cord, no testicles, it has all the leadership of a caboose. Folks, if Franken is allowed to steal this seat, and it appears that he will, then EVERYBODY from homeless bums to illegal alien murderers will run for Senate in the future.

So Coleman now has the distinction of losing elections to Jesse Ventura and Al Franken. This does not look good on a resume.

Well, look at the race he ran — or didn’t run. Like McCain he tried to play it nice... nice guys finish last... and I’m not letting Pawlenty off the hook for his nice guy roll in this telling everyone everything was going just fine.

Haven’t received an e-mail from the Coleman campaign in a couple of weeks....

Another thing McCain and Coleman both have in common — they both voted against ANWR. If just one of them had voted for it we’d be drilling there now.

What did the polls before the election predict for this race? Was it supposed to be close?

One more moderate RMSP Senator on the ropes..

imo, All he had to do was Vote Yes on Drilling ANWR... but he didn't.

Too bad. He was going to get to the bottom of the Oil-For-Food mess too .. Oh well. Maybe next time.

So now we may see one fool replace another in the Senate, altho I must admit Al is certifiable whereas Norm is just .. Norm..

Like I said, Too bad.

Norm is a coward and the MN GOP leadership is utterly worthless.

I didn't server 6 years in the Marines to have my Country handed over to a bunch of worthless Commies.

Either recognize that we've got big problems that the current crop of GOP sniveling p*ssies cannot handle, or get the f*ck out. I have zero patience left for those trying to apologize for this insanity.

I hear Coleman is going to court on this. The time for him to attack Franken was during the election campaign, but Coleman insisted on ‘no personal attacks’

It's all a facade by the "Two-Party Cartel". You wantta buy into it, fine. However, I say they ( R,s) could care less. They are the problem & you all here buy in to reelecting them next go around. As soon as you give the commies their chance to destroy America, as on course, the sooner it may be rebuilt. You know it's gonna implode - No way to stop that event. No way to prevent it because NOBODY wants to spend the enegy to stop the madness. The gov is a total corrupt cesspool for the elites.

An unfunny comedy writer is about to become a U.S. Senator.

A limousine liberal who has a ton of expensive schooling but still can't manage to say anything more meaningful than, "you know" and remind everyone her daddy was once President is about to become a U.S. Senator.

A man whose single best credential is the color of his skin has been appointed to a U.S. Senator.

This should be the plot of a bad soap opera, not the people running our nation.

And a largely unknown Chicago "community organizer" with Hussein for a middle name is about to become the 44th President of the United States...

We’re still operating under that “reaching across the aisle” philosophy that swept McCain to a ....oops, he lost didn’t he?

I’m sure the unbiased, non partisan, activist left wing courts in Mn will treat Coleman fairly. :)
