Reid won’t refuse to seat Coleman.

That would be the nuclear option, and it would split the country. Obama and the Dems don’t want to deal with that type of controversy now that they have as near absolute power as they’ll ever get. They have too many things on their agenda to allow it ALL to get sidetracked over Franken.

I’m more interested in Obama subverting the Constitution to become President. It seems like a recurring pattern with these guys.

I know many here have already figured this out, but it bears repeating: We’re seeing the culmination of a 40-year coup, my friends. A tiny group of people over a period of four decades, people whose core beliefs would have been laughed at four decades ago, people whose core beliefs even today are only shared by perhaps 15% of the country, have taken control of the world’s most powerful nation.

Liberals control the infostructure from near-cradle to grave, first through the education/indoctrination system, then via the MSM. Their control of the courts is not quite as complete, but they’re getting there, and if two seats on SCOTUS go liberal, they’ll be there. They control what is acceptable and unacceptable to think, say, and do in our country. They took a nation that God had blessed like none other in history, and began a systematic effort to shove God out of the national conversation. And now they control both houses of Congress and, come January, the White House.

And do understand that those in charge bear little resemblance to the Democrats of decades past. The ones in charge now are hardcore socialists and/or marxists, anti-military, pro-everything-and-everyone who hates traditional America. They’re the extremists, they’re in charge, and as of right now I have a hard time seeing how that’s gonna change unless we suffer a cataclysmic loss of American life that finally wakes the populace these people have lulled to sleep.

Before Saxby Chambliss won an easy reelection in the runoff, there was some talk about that. But now it isn’t likely. Obama doesn’t want any interference with his legislative agenda and Harry Reid appears willing to let this one go. A lot of Democrat Senators from conservative and marginal states don’t want to be on record as voting for Al Franken.

If Franken ultimately loses…..

Franken is now going to have to get the Senate involved in deciding the winner of this contest. And, if THAT doesn’t work, he’ll have to return to stand up “comedy” (from him!) and occasionally “guest hosting” on SNL. It seems that even if he ends up being declared the loser in MN, the rest of us lose right along with him!!!

12.09.08: Don't worry, if DemoRat Al Franken loses the election his old video sex mistress Arianna Huffington will give him "a job".
- - NOTE: Before running for U.S. Senate, Franken was a regular contributor to the Huffington (Com)Post. Aria and Al’s relationship goes back to the early-mid ‘90’s. The Soros Shadow Party is heavily involved in this MN U.S. Senate election fiasco trying to fraudulently rig a Franken win. Prediction: Franken and the SSP will lose. Harry Reid will recognize the election results and Norm Coleman’s win. Reid, via private conversations with 0bama, will not stick his/Democrats political neck out for a worthless loser like Franken. ~ FlA, SFARI.

12.08.08 FR: Arianna Huffington: “The Dirt” Part I
02.15.07 HuffPo: Al Franken and Me: Coming Clean, Preemptively by Arianna Huffington
- - Al Franken and I shared a bed. Repeatedly. While we were both married. And, long before Pam and Tommy Lee or Paris Hilton, we always made sure we had a camera to record our liaisons. Shocking but true. What can I say... And the fact that it was being recorded for posterity only added to the frisson. (Article re: Franken running for U.S. Senate and Arianna worried about being exposed as his previous secret sex biatch.)



FR’s new homepage & “Free Republic Memorial Wall” is outstanding! Thanks Jim & John.~FlA
