For the record, I'm for civil unions. Good luck you two.

Re: Al Franken Wins Seat

I'm temped to say here that Franken stole this election. In point of fact it was given to him be the MN court in the face of massive fraud.

With the Democrats having become a joke... now they have their comedian

Nice state.
Franken won by about 200 votes.

If you want to get personal towards an entire state, one could successfully argue that that trait (ie electing morons) isn't the sole domain of Minnesota. Some other notable examples are Oklahoma (Tom Coburn), Missouri (John Ashcroft) and any number of congressional districts.

The Democrats have only had the super majority for about a week when Norm Coleman conceded, and this is the first, democrat, super majority since the 1970s.

Your statements are interesting. Bush actually got his election handed to him by the US Courts and you didn't utter a peep now. Franken won this election months and months ago and has been held up by that asshole tightly holding on to power and now you come out your rat-hole screaming and moaning about elections being given away by courts?!?

What a fucking joke!

You forgot the most notable state for electing a moron...Alaska (Sarah Palin)

Incorrect. The only reason the Supreme Court stepped into the election was that the Florida Supreme Court was in violation of State election law and its own precedence. To say it was handed to him is an incorrect statement.

That is absolutely accurate, sir. But some people do not understand that it is the duty of the courts to assure that the LAW is followed and that each case involving the same issues is treated in exactly the same way. The Supreme Court ruled correctly in deciding issues surrounding the disputed election in Florida.

Liberals are the same the whole world over... can never make their point w/o a personal attack.

And with this... is it any wonder why Palin quit?

Palin is a B movie Christian Cartoon like Reagan and is an actress simply contrived for human consumption.

Her farewell speech of Ms. family values and support our troops to scapegoat the media is typical Newt tactics.

Like Newt she is a coorupt figurehead to a morally bankrupt phony pulpit for
feeble leaders.

What ignorant churchy types might swallow on a Sunday
