I hate bloodshed, but someone is going to get mad enough to pull a trigger one of these days. THE SHOT HEARD ROUND THE WORLD, PART DEAUX.

You know, in years past when I’d run across some doom-and-gloom article saying the U.S was going to hell in a handbasket, I’d think it was kind of overblown-but now, after Clintoon getting elected twice, and surviving impeachment, 9/11 and our overall PC response, and now—BO elected, Hitlery, Franken, Horseface Kennedy going to be a Senator, with Sharpton having lunch with her-a respected kingmaker.

Meanwhile the spineless GOP rolls over and plays dead, for he most part, and the American sheeple, also for the most part, don’t have a clue-so many people without manners, without education, without any religion (except “global warming and political correctness), without any patriotism whatsoever.

Unreal. When are things going to turn back around-or is it too late?

Could you be more specific? What instances of fraud have there been? The entire process has been closely watched and available for viewing on the internet.

It is about, who gets the blame. In the state of North carolina, the local legislature is always controlled by democrats. Recently, Jim Black(D) the speaker of North Carlina was sent to prison for bribery. It was a big news. Guess, what, they(media) released a poll before election saying that, majority of North Carolinians thought he was a republican. Even the governor was involved in using the state resources for his wife’s trip to Russia and other European countries. But, still people associate corruption to Republicans and again they elected a democrat governor.

If we want to win elections in state levels, we need to have more control of the local media. Radio Talk shows are not enough.

“Are there any balls left in the Republican Party?!” Sarah Palin. Ann Coulter. Limbaugh and Hannity, when they feel like it. A couple of the congressmen from Oklahoma and Alabama"

Let's not forget Mark Levin! (my proud namesake) He's about as "rabid" as they get! Gotta be the *loudest, most angry* Conservative voice on radio. He's brilliant at articulating the Conservative position, IMHO.

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

That is what I remember from late yesterday afternoon. The way he put it was that the numbers would go, "upside down first" and then go in Coleman's favor later as the result of the sequence of handling the challenges.

The Rubicon for me is FOCA, and I'm not sure that Obama's going to sign that as soon as his supporters think. When he does, and he will, the Culture War will be re-engaged."

The writing is on the wall, agreed!! Oh, I pray for my children the future that is heading their way. *heavy sigh*

“Total votes exceed registered voters, seems right to me.”

Yeah — 105% of registered voters went to the polls. Amazing!!

I pray for Mark Levin every day—I’m afraid he’s going to meet up with “an accident” sometime in the future for stating his views (and ours!) so vociferously!! :-(

Sure it can. Because "We the People" let it. We are too civilized to prevent it from happening.

In a sane society, we'd have the State legislature building surrounded by pitchforks and torches.

Nope. We go along to get along. We trust the system to work, despite mounting evidence to the contrary.

This is how the Germans ended up getting to a point where loading people on boxcars seemed like a good idea...

I cannot improve on this thought.

We are digging out own grave as a country by continuing to let stuff like this pass with no outrage and no consequences.

By continuing to kick the can down the road, the final reckoning will be much worse and far uglier for everyone.

even when 50% of the voters in question split for the republican candidate ‘eh?

The ad hominem attacks just keep on coming. Facts are stubborn things - apparently too stubborn for some to comprehend.

I’m tired of being lumped in with the lunatics just because I chose to live where I was born. You can speak for yourself all you want, but keep me out of it!

"Why is the race so close in the first place? 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."

That's about the size of it.

This country is SO screwed!

“That’s about the size of it.”

This is a state that had a socialist like Wellstone as its Senator for years.

Where was this great defender of the Constitution on Obama's birth certificate issue? DEAD SILENT!!!! (So was Rush, Laura and Hannity.)

isn’t the State the # 1 employer in nearly every state?

(I live in MN and 20+ years ago, the State was not)
