Minnesota Senate Race, Plagued With Defects, Could End in Supreme Court or Revote

LETS HOPE ONE COMEDIAN DOESNT GIVE THE MARXIST HIS FILIBUSTER
The only thing preventing full spectrum democratic socialism in this country is that one senate race. Look all around... wondering about employment? Well try telling corporations and small businesses to hire at a business tax around 35%-45% rate. This is one of the few parties and demagogues that believes you can help the worker out by punishing the employer. They talk about loopholes in that tax though? Well that maybe so... but since only mega titan corporations can lobby and hire attorneys and hire more "people" at places like Delotte and Touche it doesnt make a difference. Small businesses employ 70% of the nation in the private sector, these people are going to take away independence and trade it in for servile welfare statism. Once they can destroy the private sector vez e vez taxation and then inflation people will have no option but to trade in their self-respect and freedom over to a bureaucrat and their falling dollars over to foodstamps. Just look at what democrats have done to inner-city blacks... They don't care as long as they have a voting bloc. The Unions destroyed the auto-industry just like they are trying to destroy school choice especially in D.C. It wasn't as if Bush was a difference maker he was a statist too more so a fascist. Obama is only Bush II I guess now all of you who hated Ronald Reagan or underappreciated him can now see why he has the aura he does. I bet some of you wish he was back, well... I can only say this country has entered a new era of "change" and I hope you all will enjoy what you put in office "McCain wasn't a choice either". P.S. don't try to say I am some racist or bigot... I am black
Thank You for Being a Friend
Since Minnesota cannot seem to figure out who won, I suggest appointing Rose Nylund. It is my understanding that St. Olaf residents are in need of fuel subsidies for their gasoline-powered televisions.
Is Georgia in America?
Troy Davis is in the justice system in Georgia.
He is not being given a chance to be heard like most of us in America.
In this extraordinary case, where a man with a strong claim to innocence may well be executed without a court ever holding a hearing on his claims, I urge you to act in the interests of justice and support clemency for Troy Davis. An execution in this case, without a proper hearing on significant evidence of innocence, would severely compromise the integrity of Georgia’s justice system.
A conviction based solely on witness testimony in Georgia?
Seven of the nine non-police witnesses have recanted or contradicted their trial testimony.
Georgia has refused to hold an evidentiary hearing to examine these witnesses. Executive clemency exists, and executive action is required, to preserve justice when the protections afforded by our appeals process fail to do so.
I have always thought Georgia was a pro life state, but have never been able to wrap my mind around the direct relationship between the “rights to lifer obsession” with forcing the death penalty as a deterrent as if this ridiculous notion that you can change behavior by killing someone at a public hanging so others can do good? Like SUV’er hokey moms and the gasoline prices there is no change by offering alternatives to the people who think the rules do not apply when the the hangman is the SUV driver.
I strongly urge you to take such action now and ensure that the death sentence of Troy Davis is commuted. Thank you for your attention to this extremely serious matter.
deal with it right wing nut jobs
Thats right you are now a regional only party who gets it support only from anti intellectuals, neocons, and religious wack jobs. TBH both parties suck. At some point someone will figure out how many americans have Libertarian tendencys and dont want the government spending our money, starting bullcrap wars, telling us whats moral, or enriching themselves, their family, and their buddies at our expense.
Democrats
Agreed, Jim, Democrats want to "count every vote!" as soon as they've lost an election, and insist we keep on counting right up to the point where they've gotten just enough votes admitted to show them ahead. After that, it's "let's get to the people's business!"
Franken is benefitting from a recount system that has magically created more votes than people who voted, votes conjured from the trunk of a car, and votes counted on election night that cannot be physically accounted for anywhere.Even if seated, he will remain a true fraud, and as Katie Hoth points out, the Senate has no shortages of comedians, and theirs are already funnier.
Democrats
Typical democrats, lets count and recount the votes till it comes in our favor. What a bunch of idiots. Peloski, Franks, Dodd, Obummer and maybe cry baby Franken. A REAL DUDD TEAM.
To bad there are not IQ tests at the voting booth.
comedian
why does the senate need another comedian, should francken get the election? And he is so vulgar!
AL FRANKEN IS A JOKE!
Al Franken has never really succeded at anything unless it was under false pretenses. His TV show failed, his radio show failed and his books use popular figures to get notoriety. Franken is also one in a long, long list of Democrats who think that they are above paying taxes.
hypocrits
Your claims...like those of Coleman are outrageous. Coleman lost... it is that simple. He should concede as he suggested Frankin should have... before the LEGALLY REQUIRED RECOUNT. Coleman is a hypocrite as are you for suggesting anything other than a Coleman concession speech
Coleman has a nice Senate ethics investigation
waiting for him in the event the rethugs manage to cheat him into the Senate.
