The citizens of this failed State have committed an unparalleled outrage and have spit in the face of every brave American soldier who died for their freedom.

It is time to expell the state of Minnesota from the Union and put every Minnesota citizen on a watch list to be barred from entering the United States of America ever again.

These people are despicable and below even our rankest contempt.

The dems had control of the recount. His only chance was to take it to the Federal level, but he decided not to.

That’s the part I still don’t get. Why did that idiot bother to challenge it but quit at the point where he actually had a chance? (I mean did he think he was going to all of a sudden get a fair shake all of sudden for no reason when up to this point this thing was more rigged than a 7 masted schooner?) He might have had a chance in federal court but not in the state court.

Why is there so much hyperventilating with Al Franken being a senator?

What are his qualifications?

Clinton won because of Ross Perot, voter fraud, and the propaganda that the “republicans are as bad as the democrats” nonsense.

All true, but you left one out-Clinton won because of journalistic fraud, just like O’bama did.

In Clinton’s case, the “objective” media refused to report the economic recovery, which according to the Fed began in March of 1991, a full 18 months before the election. By keeping it quiet, Clinton was able to brainwash the sheeple with his “it’s the economy, stupid” hogwash.

In a 2000 editorial, the NY Fishwrap admitted that said economic recovery was “unrecognized at the time”. What they really meant was that it was “unreported at the time”.

Goebbels would be proud of all of them.

Geez..only two Jews in the whole state and we elect them both as Senator (just kidding so lighten up)

Don’t blame Minnesota. A majority of them voted against Franken

And that’s how they sent a nation of islam soldier to congress and elcted jesse ventura and designate public charter schools for the teaching of sharia where they won’t fly the American flag and give supra-rights to immigrants from islamic countries. Because they are just victims in minnesota and can’t be blamed?

It’s possible, I guess, that more people than we think have been following blog coverage

That “we” doesn’t mean us ha commenters, it means his grenwich village friends. More glaring proof that allah is a liberal snob. They think that Americans, mainly conservative Americans, are all stupid and uninformed. They think they are so much smarter then the rest of us and so much more capable of processing information. That’s why moron hollywood types and rock stars make such stupid, condescending statements. allah is just a little bit smarter then your average actor and can be more subtle about his distaste for normal Americans, such as Gov. Palin, but he still thinks he is far above the rest of us great unwashed.

Remember Coleman was ahead by hundreds of votes before the Demorats’ games began.

No, the problem is the people of Minnesota. They evidently treat the office of Gov. & Senator as a joke. They can’t be taken seriously. I’d say let Puerto Rico or the Virgin Islands have their Senate seats. THey evidently don’t need them.

Hey, hey. We’re not ALL crazy — just half of us.

Yes, it is ridiculous that MN would elect Al Franken (just writing it seems ridiculous), but the fact, there are just as many unhappy people in MN with Franken winning as there would have been with Coleman winning.

Opine: Coleman was such a great guy. He was my only congressman to reply to every congress.org email I sent out. The democratic senator did not emit as much as a peep. I have a new (R) representative who is even quicker than Norm…so not all is lost.

For so long I’ve been wondering how a clown like Franken could be so close to getting elected, then ultimately get elected, to a senate seat in the first place. Maybe I’ve been seeing it all wrong. Maybe the real blame falls on Coleman?

You can be as big a douche as you want, but if you’re funny people say, “Oh, that’s just Funny McFunnerson being funny!” Franken knows this and his jackassery is directly proportional to how funny he imagines himself to be.

He imagines wrong.

He lost by only 300 VOTES!

HAD NORM NOT VOTED FOR THE BAILOUT LAST OCTOBER I KNOW HE WOULD HAVE WHOPPED FRANKIN BY AT LEAST 1,000 TO 2,000 VOTES IF NOT 2% TO 3%

Norm sadly did this to himself. Once he voted for the 700 BILLION BAILOUT…he was doomed. Proof? Didn’t the 3rd Party Libertarian get at least 300,000 votes?

So, who’s putting together the pool on when and with whom he first loses his temper on the Senate floor? I say less than a month after he’s sworn in, he goes after Inhofe. Predictions?

Very erudite. Between you and StimulateThis, I am having really bad dreams. Thanks.

At this point, I wonder what has happened to the American people that he could EVER get in office in the first place. It is a pox on American History that I hope is over swiftly.

Dr. Krauthammer is on your same line of thinking. After November, he said something like, “Before Election Day, I had faith in the American People, that they would see what is at stake. Now, I’m not so sure.”

Exit question: Why are his national ratings so low?

Same reason nobody saw Stewart Saves His Family: He’s him.
