brats and Leinies taste like crap! bangers and mash and a Guinness with a side of Jameson…… much better. We conservatives in Mn never left, we went underground and will fight hard…. once we’ve tasted blood…. stand by…. MN liberals. My granda taught me well when he left Ireland. You figure it out….. milquetoast Republicans.

Yes,when it comes to far right arch conservatives, the IRISH come to mind. ROFLMAO!

Pathetic.

Even in Minnesota, people can learn those lessons, which says something for a state that just sent Al Franken to the Senate.

I don’t think we did. The recounts were in Al Freakin were not equally done.

MN sux concerning liberalism. But, there is somewhat of a counterbalance here.

It is spelled lutefisk…

Yup..typo..I stand corrected..LOL

I was so embarrassed I moved to South Carolina. Now I am represented by sanford governor, graham, senate, inglis representative. Wow, was I ever smart.

Move to Tennessee, especially East Tennessee where the First and Second Districts have had Republican representation contunuously since the Civil War. Governor Bredesen is probablly the only Democrat Governor in the US worth a damn.

The Third District has had a history of Democrat and Republican Reps. but the Democrats have almost always been rather conservative.

Minnesotans, Californians, and New Yorkers…..morons in that order.

Franken, DiFi, Rangle, etc, etc, etc……

What happened? The CBO began scoring ObamaCare, and the House shoved cap-and-tax down the throats of Republicans. Even after Porkulus, people clung to the belief that Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid represented a moderate middle rather than a radical Left, and that their leadership would focus on prosperity rather than socialism. After June and July, those pretenses disappeared, even in Minnesota.

Why the f*ck would anyone believe the Democrats aren’t going to do exactly as they say? People were shouting from the housetops last autumn about Obama and Co.

This shows that Republicans can beat Democrats by focusing on their overreach, and by having common-sense alternatives that support prosperity rather than destroying it.

Yes, Ed, it certainly does. Please keep sending us good news. We need it. Thanks.

MN was the only state to vote against Reagain in 1984.

Mondale was a senator from MN.

Wellstone that moonbat of moonbats was a senator from MN.

MN has a long history of voting for insane, leftist scum. Prediction: Franken stays in the senate for 30+ years.

Independent = uninformed, easily influenced by shiny objects.

I agree that both parties have lost confidence of main stream voters. I thought it would be a way to scream out NO! to the Democrat’s healthcare takeover, more of a way of being against something than for something. Are you in favor of the Democrat’s healthcare plan? Registering temporarily as a Republican doesn’t commit you to anything, but it would tell the Democrats in power something.

Laurie, with all due respect: Both major parties have lost the confidence of main stream voters.

Personally, I’ve declared myself as an Independent.

If he had not been elected, we’d still be sleeping. We’re stronger than ever regardless of party affiliation.

Here’s hoping that anyone with an “I” as in incumbent after their name is carefully considered and then voted out of office if they are ineffective non-contributors to our society as a whole.

Murtha? Pelosi? Dodd? Fwank? McCain? Snowe? Specter? Durbin? Lamar? Akaka? Bond? O.U.T. in 2010

I miss the man who loves his Country.

If we can win back Minnesota, the Democrats are in trouble.
