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.

Simply relying on the Democrats’ owning failure will not win the GOP a single election.
The last time the Dems had such a majority in the House and Senate, Ronald Reagan was elected president in the very next election cycle.
WE MUST DESTROY ACORN AND EXPOSE IT FOR THE FRAUD IT IS. IF WE DONT GET ACORN UNDER WRAPS, SAY GOODBYE TO ALL LEGIT ELECTIONS.
ACORN did their job, and they’ve been rewarded with hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars by BO.
MN thinks it’s just fine that they are represented by a real clown now. How special. People should tell Swedish jokes instead of Polish jokes.
You nailed it!!!!
With the swearing in of Franken the coup in America is complete. We are entering 16 months of darkness until the 2010 election. Then, who knows???
The fact that a disgusting reprobate like Al Franken is a US Senator speaks volumes about how far our country has fallen.
There are moderate and liberal Republicans who vote with the Democrats almost as often as they vote conservative. Snowe and Collins of Maine being the prime examples but 8 Republicans also joined with the liberal Dems to pass cap and trade last week.
Obama and company will have their RINO fellow travelers.
Franken is the final straw-a piece of crap third rate comedian.The Senate is rotting from the inside-Boxer,Feinstein,Whitehouse,etc in addition to this abomination.Maybe Franken can hire the same charter company that flew Wellstone around.
Obama and his minions have declared war on the average American with this cap and trade bill.Now it’ll be illegal to sell your house unless you spend more than it’s worth “renovating” it.I am sure the select few like Bill Ayers will be exempt from the bill,along with the rest of the leading Obama cronies.
Henry Waxman is not a human being-he is a misshapen amphibian.
Absolutely! I think that sometimes we ought to use ACORN’s tactics, and say..show up outside Barney frank’sn house with lagre demonstrations, or confront apparatchiks when they’re out on the town on our tax dollars.
You know, “It’s the democrats’ fault” isn’t going to cut it when we’re all living in a 3rd world totalitarian shit hole.
It is HARD to believe that Coleman lost to Al Franken, after winning both the election AND the first recount! But, the Dems kept counting, and counting, and COUNTING...till they were ahead! THEN they froze it.
Iran has the Basij, the socialist/democrat party has ACORN and thousands of dead people who voted to thank.
The big story is the stolen election. We’re losing this war all over the country. So for those of you anxiously looking forward to 2010 and 2012, when we’ll turn the tables on them, you better wake up to the fact that our elections are so corrupt right now, we may have no chance. Regardless of how many more votes we generate.
If we do nothing, we will be a turd world country..
Minnesota Judges cheated the voters because Democrats weren’t going to win on the actual vote count, so they depended on a recount that allowed 25 counties more votes than registered voters, and
Democrats would not have won on honestly stating their ideas
Sotomayer isn’t the only Judge that should be impeached immediately
They’ll be blaming Bush for the next Billion years.
The dems came out against killing the citizens objecting.
( Well they came out against killing them in the streets where it could be seen and posted on the Internet... )
So, I have to assume it means if we object to this election being stolen, they won't shoot us in the street.
