Isn’t it fascinating how these recounts that are demanded by ‘Rats ALWAYS find more votes for the ‘Rat candidates, but NEVER more votes for the Republican side?

[Boucheau]

"Joke is right. Repubs just let this sort of stuff happen. Sickening."

Do we have anyone representing us currently?

The ONLY Republican I've heard speak out lately is Paul Broun.

This "nice guy", kiss-the-a***s of the moderates/undecided's, turn the other cheek, socialism-lite crap WILL BE THE END OF US!

Where...are...the...Republicans!?

I'm so sick and tired of the bunch of pansy-a***d do-nothings we have now.

Will they fight this, or hand it over?

Please "fire" the moderates FReepers/Republicans and do it as fast as is possible.

If you see a moderate then call him/her out here at FR to educate people here and spread the knowledge. Then we can set about taking them out -- of the political process, that is.

In four years I don't want to hear any elected Republican whining about how we MUST appeal to the center, the moderates, the swing voters, the undecided's -- SCREW THEM!

I say if we fall, let's fall BIG fighting for what believe in. What kind of sad, sorry end are we in for if we lose trying to "customize" and "decorate" our values for THOSE WHO DON'T SHARE THEM -- or at least don't have the huevos to make a decision and stick with it, show some character and fortitude -- limp-wristed, yellow-bellied, frightened little neurotic crybabies, the lot of 'em.

The alternative to fighting for what we believe in is a slow death by compromise -- which I'm not at all intersted in suffering through, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Here's a moderate republican - as good as they get:

“However, I think we have much more to gain by having this nut case ass clown run around the senate with a D next to his name.”

Think about, Ted Kennedy, Robert Byrd, Harry Reid, Dick Durbin, etc. etc. One more clown just fits right into the circus. A cartoon of Senate Democrat clowns piling out of a car might be appropriate.

[machogirl]

“Minnesota has a voter intent law”.

Plenty of voters don’t vote a straight ticket or leave certain offices blank.

The voters’ intentions are on the ballot. Marked.

[Tzimisce]

And the libs steal another seat...

[Republican Wildcat]

Odd, because in the Two Harbors precinct, none of the other contests recorded any changes in their vote totals.

Very odd indeed.

[beezdotcom]

I was going to add my own senator to the mix - Jim Webb....a man whose books are vulgar, and whose temperament even more so.

[April Lexington]

Don’t they have any law enforcement officers in MN? Somebody aught to be investigating and prosecuting.

[pankot]

Another “how dead Democrats vote in elections” ping. (Former St.Louis, MO, person in WI whose dead Grandpa still votes in St Louis.)

[smokingfrog]

Obama beat McCain by more than 10%

Only 3 of 8 MN congressional seats were won by republicans.

If the people of MN really wanted Franken, he should have won easily.

[smokingfrog]

Something for your dart board.

[Bellflower]

Maybe it is time for us all to decide where we should leave to in mass. If this big, beautiful ship is to sink under the weight of millions of rats should we stay on it? If we decide to leave we had better go before they close the borders.

[Entrepreneur]

Why don’t we have agitators like Jesse Jackson or Sharpton to swoop down when there’s a problem and create a media spectacle?

We have jobs.

[Syncro]

Republicans have failed to stop voter fraud. In this case, they could go right down there and demand to have all of this watched. In 2000 in Florida, a bunch of people (some from Free Republic) went right into the rooms where the liberals were stealing the election and actually got something done.

People were seen putting Bush votes in Gore's pile and of course the hanging chads fiasco.

Heck, they were actually punching out the chad on ballots that weren't punched.

The democrats called these people that stopped the cheating and fraud a "mob." LOL

Gore would have been President if that wasn't stopped.

The Republicans don't seem to care.

B1 Bob in California was cheated out of winning his election, and the GOP wouldn't even fight with him for the seat.

Would have been racist, his opponent changed her last name to an hispanic name.

Of course he was a conservative, so there's the reason right there in that case.

We need a second party in this country.

Welcome to FR and that is a nice reference :D

I was going to add my own senator to the mix - Jim Webb....a man whose books are vulgar, and whose temperament even more so.

Wasn't he the guy that wrote a ped book (boy and man)?

[beezdotcom]

Wasn't he the guy that wrote a ped book (boy and man)?

Everyone who acclaims his books as literary masterpieces will immediately point out that "that's not what the books are about" and "it's true to the nature of the character", blah blah blah. Whatever. Maybe I don't want "great" writers representing my state, then...

[Ann Archy]

The Democrats SPECIALIZE in VOTER FRAUD....they are CHEATERS and LIARS.....Bush’s NEW TONE has HURT our Elections.

[Allegra]

Um...wtf were valid absentee ballots doing in her car?

Because she had to drive somwhere to get them from the ACORN representative?

[panthermom]

I agree, they push and push and it is outright blatant and it gets worse every election. I am sick of being pushed. When do we push back??
