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.

You just have to remember who the democrat voters are.

Want to know? It is: Barney Frank, and Franken represent to real face and attitude of 90% of democrat voters. Gay, rude, obnoxious, power attitude.

You meet them in the streets, in the stores, everywhere. Young people and blacks are just plain rude, disrespectful, think they have some RIGHT, to push and shove, anything it takes to get their way. This is the reality of BARNEY/FRANKEN, it's who they are, basic HOOD.

If they start finding and adding new ballots during the recount, you can be sure the election is being stolen.

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

The frog won't jump.

Everyone’s missing the essence of this issue. Republicans refuse to fight as hard as Dems, so they lose.

It’s becoming evident that the democratic process no longer exists in our country. We’re well on the way to being another corrupt bannana republic, and I have little faith that the country can be taken back at the ballot box.

Lanny Davis was on H&C last night, and was being interrogated about the Minnesota high-jinks (or didoes, if you prefer).

Lanny sat there with his wide eyed look saying “What elephant in what room?” (Sorry Lanny, I just applied a little poetic license).

“I get this sneaking suspicion that the GOP and Coleman are going to sit idle and let this happen (again)..... “

I see it the same way. Why isn’t Coleman screaming bloody murder over this like he should be....?

“This from the state that elected Jessie ‘The Body’ Ventura for governor.”

Actually he was a breath of fresh air as governor. Jesse got the position running as an Independent and garnering more votes than either of the Republican or Democrat candidates - who were both bad choices.

Jesse at least is an outdoors-man and did some good things for Minnesota. He receives too much flack, in my opinion, and did a fair job. And he's an ex Navy Seal.

Of course I could tell you about the time I watched one of the Vikings’ running backs begin to stuff Jesse up a chimney after a golf tournament - a small disagreement that... A GREAT display of testosterone....

Regarding your tagline:

Voting may soon be an obsolete way to defend freedom

- - - - - - - -

Ted Kennedy is walking, living, breathing PROOF that
there is no minimum IQ required for voting.

Now that Obozo is Prez-elect ?? ... he is proof of
that as well now.

Maybe I can collect the whole set!!

I don’t want to be a damper on the FR. But this is how I’m feeling right now. ACORN is bad enough; if Obama gets to tamper even more with the voting process, we’re toast. For crying out loud— several pro-Obama lawyers committed voter fraud!

If you live in MN, call local talk shows, and bring as much attention as possible to the voter fraud.

From Townhall.com:

“Franken’s Shaky “Undervote” Argument
Posted by: Amanda Carpenter at 11:40 AM

Al Franken’s campaign has been telling reporters that any vote for Barack Obama should count for a vote for Franken in his now-deadlocked recount with incumbent Republican Senator Norm Coleman.

Franken calls it an “undervote,” meaning if a ballot is checked for Obama, but is “mistakingly” left blank for the Senate race, it should go to him. He may want to abandon this logic. The polling data in the run-up to the election shows otherwise.

His nasty brandy of campaigning against Coleman in state of “Minnesota nice” put him anywhere between 12 and 15 points BEHIND Obama.

The Minnesota Star-Tribue (the “Strib” as they call it, rhymes with “Trig”) found only 68% of those who said they would vote for Obama were planning to vote for Franken in a survey conducted October 29-31-—days before the election.

That’s just one poll that busts Franken’s undervote logic.

In story titled, “Split Decisions Could Be Key to Election” Strib reporter Patricia Lopez interviewed someone illustrating the case in point.

Larry Sherman says he’s “100 percent sure” that he will vote for Barack Obama, one of the most liberal members of Congress, for president. But in the Senate race, he’s going to choose U.S. Sen. Norm Coleman, a Republican who is Obama’s polar opposite on most issues.

“I just don’t follow party lines,” Sherman said. “I’m just voting for the best person for the job.”

I’ve seen this story on the news a bit and saw Gov. Pawlenty last night and it is very shaky. All these new votes found in a jar on Funk & Wagnells porch and not a single one for Coleman? Yea right.

Bill O’Reilly talked about that on his show this evening with Laura Ingraham. Hopefully someone will post it on YouTube.

Thanx for the excerpt.

I’m so sick of the voter fraud votes cancelling out the true votes.
