Two choices.

1. Organize and fight back

2. Conservatives leave these states en masse before 2010 census.

If productive citizens would abandon the upper midwest, Rust Belt, and New England, and move to the South where you are all welcome, The South and Midwest would have enough EV’s to win every election, and the blue states would basically turn into brownout zones. Which would make the environmentalist wackos happy.

It’s like putting Benny Hill in the House of Lords. I can’t wait.

Until what you´re suggesting happens, the governed are consenting.

"It should have been a Coleman landslide if the voters of Minnesota had any intelligence and understanding of their responsibilities for citizenship in the community, the nation, and the world."

You make a very good point. The election shenannigans of the Democrat party notwithstanding, the fact that human trash like Franken (and many more like him in every state) can have such large followings does not paint a very pretty picture of what we've become as a nation.

The Republic is dead. Either we wake up, and beat the Communists at their own game, or we suffer the consequences. We need Republican leadership that will fight, or to put it another way, we have to go to war with what we’ve got (God help us), kick these losers hard enough to make them fight.

The Rubicon for me is FOCA

How anyone could say that that act is anything but evil is beyond me.

My line in the sand is my kids. If the Senate approves the UN "Rights of the Children" treaty, and anyone attempts to enforce it on my family - things will get hot. Same for any attempt to enforce outlawing of homeschooling.

Another interesting thing: this was Paul Wellstone’s seat. Now THERE was a commie if there ever was one.

The question should be about the African American Turnout. If they came in record numbers, they are going to vote democratic ticket all the way. Democrats are winning elections by one simple way. Getting 92% of African American’s Vote. When are we conservatives find a way to attract atleast 20% of African American votes?

This is how Hewitt expected it to go too and warned everyone that Franken would pick votes up first.

We can thank John McCain for this one too!!

Let's see, Hussein beat McCain by 53-42% in MN,,,,and Hussein beat McCain by 54-37 in Iowa.

So why was McCain wasting time in Iowa (I believe Sarah campaigned there also)--instead of spending it in MN???

If he had sent Sarah up there where he actually came closer to winning than Iowa (and made trips there instead of Iowa)--Franken would NOT be the next senator from MN.

THANKS, JOHN!! (rolling eyes)

Was raised in MN., but am glad to have become a “snowbird” and headed to more sane, conservative, southerly climes.

Washington State, 1st recount= no change, 2nd recount= slight change, 3rd recount= Dem win by a few votes, recount over. Total votes exceed registered voters, seems right to me.

"...time-honored Texas tradition"

As a native Louisianian, I can tell you that political corruption was not invented or perfected in Texas.

Trying to stigmatize Texas with political corruption in the shadow of Chicago and Minnesota looks like logical gymnastics to me, and quite frankly, fratricide.

Thanks bud.

I admit I am more optimistic than you on the FOCA. I highly doubt that this will come to a vote because I don’t think there are 60 senators that will vote for cloture.

Keep the motivation coming though.

The State is the #1 employer, so government unions come into play as well.

Pretty scary.
