out of the senate

[GiovannaNicoletta]

I guess I can understand the Left seeking to exploit this tragedy for political gain, because that's what leftists do, but for once they might want to think their words and actions all the way through to the end before they get too out of control.

Some of the garbage they have begun to spew, if they don't rein it in, could be actionable. And somebody could make an argument (and I'm not saying I believe this) that it's strange that two of the rat candidates that were looking at very possible defeat, died with just enough time left before the election to garner a sympathy vote from the sheeple for the replacement rat that the rats managed to dredge up from the rat replacement pool.

Voice recorder read-out. (actually they don't have them on this small an aircraft.)

Captain: Senator, the weather is below minimums. We better go to our alternate.
Senator: What do you mean? I am a US SENATOR. We will land. That is my order. I am chartering this plane!
Captain: But senator...It is not safe...
Senator: I'll decide what is safe. I am a US SENATOR. Go in and land.
Captain: But...but
Senator: Do it Damn it.
Recording ends..................

Psychopathological Projection Syndrome, [Invented, here on FR, by me] is a symptom of the Psychosis also known as "liberalism" -- and gives the mongrel scum away every darn time.

If they are accusinig us of doing it and are so impugning our character, its a dead-set cert his death was caused by Arkancide.

"So how come Carhahan's wife won the election if he was so far behind?"

Ashcroft suspended his campaigning out of respect for Mel. The lack of issue ads combined with the sympathy vote to push Carnahan over Aschroft by a tiny margin.

The race ended up being so close that it actually became an issue when downtown St Louis polls were kept open two hours past the election close.

Good info. I have not followed this crash, but was wondering what made them turn 90 degrees from the approach path. Engine out?

[Redleg Duke]

The rapid reaction of these swine almost make one wonder if maybe they were expecting this!

[Snake65]

This makes me sick and sad and tired all at the same time. I grew up in Minnesota. I believe the last time MN sent a Republican to the Senate it was Rudy Boschwitz, and his even being elected in the first place was something of a miracle. It's not like MN had a chance of sending a Republican to the Senate this year. Nuts kill our leaders sometimes (JFK, MLK, RFK) but this isn't Imperial Rome.

Though it came close under x42.

[No Left Turn]

I love these dopey Democrats. If they would look at this situation logically, they would ask Daschle whether he cut the fuel line on Wellstone's plane. If Republicans knew that plane was going to go down, they would have raised a state-wide safety net to break its fall. Why? It's very likely that Wellstone would have lost. With his death will come some silly stand in that will garner all the sympathy vote of soccer moms and muddle-headed indies, who think that a Senator's death should be followed by the appointment of a unqualified stand-in. Wellstone's death ensures that the Democrats will hold the seat. If motive alone is powerful enough to prosecute, they should lead Daschle away in handcuffs. And while a rationale person couldn't blame Daschle, the same person couldn't deny the guy's obvious lust for power, and the likelihood that he sees this tragedy as just the break he needs to keep the Senate.

I totally understand. I agree.

Best...

[bootless]

Could be an engine out. I haven't seen the charts yet for the approach. Understand there's no tower at the airport, and that they stayed in contact with Approach. Are you checking the thread over at Avsig? I'm running a fever, so won't be checking in there for a while - I have to concentrate on the World Series! :-)

[bootless]

I don't think they they were expecting it - they're just spring-loaded to believe that the GOP and conservatives sacrifice their young (when in actuality, THEY'RE more likely to), and have their suspicions and paranoia at the ready. Not much thought required.

[virgil]

I guess we can officially say that truth has taken a back seat to speculation, conspiracy theories and lack of any sense of external reality.

[AmishDude]

And that is the response to this stuff, Southack. The fact is, if anybody benefits from this, it's the Democrats who can put in an out-of-work politico on the ballot, with name-recognition and no time to conduct a real campaign against him.

In looking at the MN law with the "supplimental ballot", I like to refer to it as the "mob option".

By Jackson Thoreau "My first hunch about Sen. Wellstone's tragic plane crash less than two weeks before this pivotal election is that the plane was tampered with by right-wingers, .>>>>>>>


funny, mine was first we saw Carnahan in a close election in 2000 and his plane then crashed,

now we see Welstone in a close election and his plane crashes,

since the death of the canidate doesn't ever seem to help the challenger but the party that loses it's canidate. well........

[Non-Sequitur]

The race ended up being so close that it actually became an issue when downtown St Louis polls were kept open two hours past the election close.

It actually wasn't that close. Ashcroft lost by about 50,000 votes and 2 or 3 percentage points.

[wattsmag2]

It is more probable that his own cronies did him in considering how poorly he was running for an incumbent. Perhaps we now know why Torreceli bowed out.
