In Washington State, Gregoire learns from Gore's mistakes and manages to hijack the election from Rizzo.
Now, the repugnant troll, Stuart Smalley, is defying all laws of mathematical probability, discovering 500 or so votes to ZERO for Norm Coleman, before the sham known as the "recount" has even begun. They've dispatched with stealth and subterfuge. Now they're just sticking their middle finger in our faces and saying "Yeah sucker, what are you gonna do about it?"
Stalinism, pure and simple. Obama's Brave New World.
Who will fight back, and how?
The RATs will keep counting until they’re ahead. Just ask Mr. Rossi in Washington state.
Senator Franken. We had better get used to it because, my friends, they are stealing another one.
Never fear, Franken will come out the winner. All the Dems have to do is keep counting and magically the votes that will elect Franken will appear. /sarc
Even if all three of these outstanding seats go our way, the liberals will still have a filibuster proof senate when you account for the RINOs.
If the dems get to 60 votes, it will just be easier. It will provide political cover for the “conservative” dems to oppose legislation while the RINO senator’s votes take their place
I’m amazed that the a$$hat got 1 vote!
Let’s not go overboard with the Stalinism thing. The old chairman of the party did not need the pretense of stuffing the ballot box to win an election.
The best example of this kind of shennanigans was the 1948 senate Democrat primary race between Lyndon Johnson and Coke Stevenson, in which Lyndon won by 87 votes. (In those days, Republicans were so marginalized in Texas that they didn’t matter. The Democrat party primary winner was essentially the election winner.) In the 1948 race, Lyndon was behind until a box of votes from a county in south Texas mysteriously appeared, all of which were votes for Lyndon Johnson (and, if my memory is correct, all the ballots were written using the same color pen). Eventually, the case went to the courts, which rejected doing anything, and then it went to the Democratic party central committee itself - and Lyndon won by one vote, 29-28.
If this had happened today to a Republican, the hue and cry about party hacks stealing the election would be loud enough to crack window panes across town.
On the other hand, it is apparently happening today with a Democrat in Minnesota, complete with the mysterious boxes of votes from rural counties, and the press shows an eerie silence. Just like the way the segregationists of old used to silence the Republicans in Texas, circa 1948.
Too bad I’m not in the media anymore. I’ve noticed how no one anywhere mentions that famous 1948 theft in relationship to the Franken-Coleman contest. *sigh*
Franken/Stein 2016!
The words “Honest” and “Democrat” parted ways a long, long time ago.
The votes magically found in the trunk crap is beyond ludicrious. A federal investigation should be ordered and any foul-play should be met with felonious tampering. 6 years in prison might slow it down.
I hate to bring a little reality to this nice entry, but the fact is:
1) the count changes *every* election, from the time election night totals are announced, to the time the final vote is totaled and verified.
There has never been a state election (and not in MN, for sure) where the final election totals have stayed the same as election night. This is especially true now that absentee and early voting has been so prevalent.
So this is not unusual. And usually the outcome is so well-defined no one notices.
2) In Norm Coleman’s last MN election his final vote total changed (to his favor, by the way) by much more than Franken’s vote total has thus far changed.
It wasn’t as notable because the election was so close, but the change is no more suspicious than it was in the last election.
3) Because of the tight spread, MN mandates a recount. It will be supervised by its Republican leadership, including Gov. Pawlenty.
To accuse the fine state of Minnesota, and their election officials, of illegal behavior is just dishonorable, IMO.
Has Coleman received a single vote on this recount?
Neither is Al.
This jackass is insane. The entire RAT party is pure garbage. We will live under this communist rule for many years with very little chance to boot out. They are sick criminals that will stop at nothing.
I repeat: is the election of 2010 even going to matter? Or is it going to be decided by ACORN, activist judges and newly legalized aliens?
How can it be that the votes we cast are treated with such disrespect. Each of those votes has been won and guarded with the life blood of thousands of Americans who fought for an American Ideal, at a time when it meant something.
Now, we work real hard at having election judges initial each ballot before it is handed to us, and we sign in with our names when we vote, and afterwords, the election judges in just three precincts in the state toss them into the trunk of a car without even leaving them in a common container.
There is no lock on the container on the way to deliver the votes?
Shame on us all for even allowing this situation to develop.
It should be in the presence of two judges at all times and counted in front of all people, and restored to a secured box until the election is certified.
What is good is a recount if three precincts merely add votes to the pile before the recount begins? This is not a recount, it is a continuation of the first count, which will continue until Franken wins.
We treat this so superficially, that it makes me wonder if that is not done on purpose to make certain the election can be thrown if need be.
No one in authority is holding them accountable. They get away with more and more each election. We had better figure out some way to deal with this.
Mischief In Minnesota?
Why is their a question mark?
Liberals have been using this recount “strategy” for many years, well before 2000, and have stolen many elections.
The real problem? “Republican” response is...ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
