good post

A speech by Rick Kahn, one of Wellstone's closest friends, shifted the tone of the event from memorial service to full-throated, foot-stomping, fist-pumping political rally. He urged the crowd to "stand up for all the people he fought for...for working men and women...for all those who lack the strength to stand up on their own." His words brought thousands to their feet.
TV cameras then panned to a beaming Walter Mondale, Wellstone's likely replacement in the U.S. Senate race, which brought more cheers.
"If Paul Wellstone's legacy comes to an end, then our spirits will be crushed and we will drown in a river of tears," a clearly emotional Kahn said.
"We are begging you, do not let that happen. We are begging you to help us win this Senate election for Paul Wellstone."
In a move that brought gasps of delight from some and stony silence from a few, Kahn then began urging select Republicans to drop their partisanship and work for Wellstone's replacement.
He singled out some by name. To U.S. Rep. Jim Ramstad, R-Minn., Kahn said, "You know that Paul loved you. He needs you now.... Help us win this race."... http://www.mediareseachcenter.com

The total irony of that was that from all I have heard about him, Wellstone believed strongly in standing up for his principles. I have read that he didn't take opinion polls or check with focus groups but sincerely acted on his own beliefs.
And yet, as a tribute to him, other Senators were asked to abandon their own party and principles to help elect the opposition. That just shows how utterly twisted and demented the 'rats are, IMO.

We need lip readers during these videotapes to read their lips. Would love to see know what they are actually saying as the cameras swoop around! That would be too sweet!!

Kahn then began urging select Republicans to drop their partisanship and work for Wellstone's replacement. What's the controversy? Haven't the Republicans been doing that all along?

Are you saying that Trent Lott was outed?
