Mischief in Minnesota?

Al Franken's recount isn't funny

You'd think Democrats would be content with last week's electoral rout. But judging from the odd doings in Minnesota, some in their party wouldn't mind adding to their jackpot by stealing a Senate seat for left-wing joker Al Franken.

There was a guy on Glenn Beck's show yesterday who was, I believe, a statistician. He had been running the numbers on the recounts in MN and his conclusion was basically that it was being stolen. The voting "problems" were mostly coming from several specific precincts, and in one of those, the problems were only with the Franken/Coleman portion of the ticket - not a single "problem" with any other part of the ballot. He also noted that of all the votes being "found" or "corrected", none of them were in Coleman's favor, they were all going to Franken. You can read the transcript from the show at this link: Glenn Beck transcript. It's infuriating, to say the least.

“I hope Norm Coleman is getting his lawyers ready.”

Nope. He’ll roll over, congratulate the freak, and then walk away as all GOPs do. Disgusting!

I just found 1,200 uncounted ballots in the trunk of a 1978 Chevy that was sitting at the Minneapolis airport.

I better get them up there so they can be counted.

Joe Biden and Al Franken. The Democratic Party will never be able to recover from this.

WRONG!!!

you seem to believe the Democrat party has a conscience, a soul or self respect. and in case your not aware the MSM will not show anything that might show impropriety by Franken, Biden or any other puke Dhimmicrat.

It is up to Norm Coleman and the GOP to take a stand and FIGHT! Franken, Acorn and the leftists dems are trying to steal the election that he won. If Coleman wants to avoid losing due to outright fraud then they had better fight, otherwise they deserve to have the election stolen from them. I am sick of our people whining about fraud and not taking a legal stand against it.

Same thing with Chamblis; Obamessiah and his Rat minions are throwing everything including the kitchen sink into having the dem win the run off. The Republican Party and Chamblis had better wake up, smell the coffee and fight with all their might to win including presenting the truth and the facts about his opponent, no matter how "dirty" or "nasty" they may be. Chamblis had better bring a bazooka to this gun fight instead of a plastic spoon because the democRATS are going to bring out all of their weapons and craft to defeat him.

When the soap box, and the ballot box fail to bring freedom and liberty of choice to the population, there is only one solution.

The cartridge box.

The Democrats cannot stand anything that diverts the public from their greatness. Right now, the media only has cheerleading on the plate. They can’t keep that up forever. If the public starts demanding some juiciness, Franken and Biden will be perfect for that role.

When the OJ trial ended, you had a whole bunch of jumkies looking for a fix. When Bush is gone, all the political junkies will be looking for a fix. The media would love to feed them the Republicans but there just aren’t any left. That spring has dried up.
Enter Al Franken. A notorious hothead with allusions of grandeur and a big mouth that loves to go after the enemies of the Media Empire like Limbaugh. Combine him with a sot like Joe Biden who pours out gaffes like coffee at an AA meeting.

The Dems are cheating SOBs. Always have been, always will be.

The leaders of the Republican party turn a blind eye to fraud.....election after election.....never holding anyone accountable.......so......it will continue.

Hey!! Last I saw we have a Pubbie Governor in MN. If he can’t insure that fraud is kept to a minimum then all is lost.

Part of me says this will be a major embarassment to the Democrats if he gets elected.

Barney Frank. Ted Kennedy. Bill "Poontang" Clinton.

You have to have a sense of shame before you can feel embarrassed. Lacking even a rudimentary sense of shame, the Democrats will love this guy once he's in office.

He’ll do all that, but if you expect the media to do more than bury the story on page B-38, you are sadly mistaken. The ‘Rats don’t care HOW they get power as long as they get it, even if they have to steal it.

The media no longer controls the stories. They are competing with the internet now. If they simply break into cheerleading, they stand a chance of getting left behind.

CBS, CNN and the like all have noticed that Fox News is winning the race. It’s not because Fox is considered “conservative” by the viewers but because Fox gives the junkies their fix. Fox will cover the teen star going into rehab and the car chase and the Democrat doing something stupid.

If the Dem networks are running film of Obama patting children on the head and Fox is running film of Franken punching a heckler, guess where the viewers will go. And Franken is all too willing to give them the fix.

What is Gov Pawlenty doing to help Coleman? Is he speaking out I hope? Even if he has not specific power over this he ought to use the bully pulpit to appeal to the 58% of Minnesotans who voted against Franken to tell them their votes are being stolen.

I would have thought that the Wellstone "memorial" turned political rally would have been enough for most people to realize that DemocRats have no conscience, no soul and absolutely no self respect. It was right there in living color for all to see......

The real question is whether the Republicans will sit idly by and let it happen (again)....
