Not a whole lot to be happy about with this win by Franken but at least now they own everything. They have a filibuster proof Senate. Either everything they have whined about for the last eight years gets fixed or they are outright liars. Scott said it best in the comments:
DEMS OWN IT NOW.Whats it?
IT is EVERYTHING.
2010 midterms:
- if unemployment is still worse than when Obama took office, its their fault
- if GDP is still falling its Democrats fault
- if every American-EVERY SINGLE AMERICAN and most illegal aliens-dont have the same high-quality/free medical coverage as Barack Obama its their fault
- if Iran has nukes or is still pursuing them its the Democrats fault
- if Pakistan is still on the brink its the Democrats fault
- if Mexico is still on the brink its the Democrats fault
- if there is still war in Afghanistan its the Democrats fault
- if American troops are still in Iraq FOUR YEARS after promising to end the war its the Democrats fault
- if there is a budget deficit its the Democrats fault
- if there is a single pork spending program in ANY bill its the Democrats fault
- if America is still dependent on foreign oil its the Democrats fault
the list goes on. We can debate who caused what and how (and its ALWAYS a bi-partisan source), but the fact is that Democrats have unchecked power now, and should be able to do everything theyve promised. If not, its their fault for misleading, and their supporters fault for believing the people who have lied and misled this nation and the world so grossly since 2002.

This will have to go to another level to have any affect at all.
Presidency: Stolen.
Senate seat: Stolen.
What's the trip wire that starts getting ACORN members introduced to lamp posts?
I was thinking the MJ media orgy but you could be right.
Since March, I have headed a phone survey of voters in my legislative district. Our project included the calling of all voters who were not identified with party affiliation for 140 precincts in our district. We finished this project the early part of June.
Keep in mind that the voters in our county will be all voting by mail in all elections from now on. We just had our first all mail elections recently to elect our county elections board supervisor. Guess who won the election? The Democrat.
We have called over 4,000 of these unidentified voters. About 10% of the voters we called were not at the address listed in the calling list we received from the Secretary of State. These lists would give the phone number, the address, the voters and the age of the voters at that address.
When we found a voter not at the address, we would question the person we reached on the telephone. We asked if the person listed at that address had ever lived at that address. We asked if they always had the same phone number and how long they lived there. One person said that they lived at the same address for 30 years with the same phone number. The person we were calling for had never lived at that residence. This happened over and over.
Just thought my fellow Freepers would like to get some first hand information about how bad it is.
All that the Senate needs is just one more comic!
For the past 10 years, they've pointed to FOX as a "conservative" outlet, and justified their leftist propoganda as a counterbalance... I'm never one for conspiracy theories, but something major is going on here...
You’re right...it’s the brain dead “Independents” that gave us a Democrat majority. And the Republicans who sat at home because Coleman wasn’t conservative enough.
We are facing a time of real crisis, and what do we get but a comic.
Goodbye..
As America slips into 2d World status, i.e., European socialism and Islamic creep, the one party ruling class will continue to blame the misery, shortened life spans, and degraded living conditions of the masses on corrupt capitalists and right wing zealots. We all laughed at communist/socialist/fascist show trials of perp walking "officials/dissidents" being tried for betrayal of the "peoples trust." We won't be laughing soon..
When enough people attempt to shake off the shackles of tyranny, they may succeed only to find the political and economic landscape so stark that recovery to anything NEAR what we had 40 years ago will be daunting; one only has to look to Russia to understand how the Proletariat will have even less when, in 70 years, the blinders are removed. Without a capitalist infrastructure, the education to foster a work ethic, and a stable economic investment base, crime becomes rampant and resources end up in the hands of robber barons.
Those alive today will not live long enough to see our children climb out of this pit; our children's children may. My only real concern in this whole mess is whether or not future generations will glean enough from their recent history to squash the liberal, libertine, and Statist animal when it again raises its seductive head.
If voting mattered, they wouldn't let you do it.
---------------------------------------------
Take the children and yourself
and hide out in the cellar.
By now the fighting will be close at hand.
Don't believe the church and state
And everything they tell you;
Believe in me, I'm with the High Command.
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
There's a gun and ammunition
just inside the doorway;
Use it only in emergency.
Better you should pray to God,
The Father and the Spirit,
Will guide you and protect from up here.
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Swear allegiance to the flag,
Whatever flag they offer;
Never hint at what you really feel.
Teach the children quietly,
For someday sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still.
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me,
can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running,
can you hear me calling you?
Silent Running
(Mike and the Mechanics)
...and now that a Soros-funded campaign has made a joke of the Senate by electing a comic.
The original tally was fraudulent. Anyone who has seen how that’s done but still had common decency should have called for a new election. That includes the SOS, Pawlenty and the MN SC.
LOL-he sure does!!
Let me emphatically tell you - the election was NOT stolen. What people are completely missing (most notably in the Wall Street Journal article from yesterday) is that the main reason why Coleman lost is due to his own screw-up. When the Minnesota Supreme Court issued an (erroneous, not following state law) decision to allow both candidates to review the rejected absentee ballots, it allowed them to agree as to which ballots were wrongly rejected. Coleman stupidly agreed to a more expansive basis for including ballots. Bye-bye lead. That's what made up the margin for error.
