The state Canvassing Board is expected to declare today that Al Franken received the most votes in Minnesota’s election for a U.S. Senate seat, but those final results are sure to be challenged in the courts. Franken reportedly had a 225-vote lead after last weekend’s count of some absentee ballots.
If Franken’s win holds up, he will become the new senator the right wing loves to hate. That’s because Franken’s confrontational style makes him the “perfect right-wing punching bag,” according to The Week, and because the GOP will consider Franken’s win tainted and illegitimate.

I love it!
dont think Coleman will give up without a fight, losing to both Al Franken and Jesse Ventura cant be good on him
As I understand it under Minnesota law (just from media reports; I’ve done no research on Minnesota law), a judicial challenge is entirely appropriate. Let Minnesota settle this one, according to Minnesota law.
Interesting question, however. Will Minnesota have the same equal protection problems found in Florida in 2000? And if so, will one party or the other seek to get the federal courts involved? Only time will tell.
When it’s over, seat the winner; no whining about “stolen” elections like we’ve heard ad nauseum for the last eight years. And move on.
bth, you are a typical liberal fool. Why do you love Franken so much?
Well Inferior – for one thing he is vastly SUPERIOR to YOU!
Actually I didn’t care a whole lot until I read Coulter’s rant.
As you’d expect, the Journal editorial page is already coming up with a string of bogus insinuations about the Minnesota recount, all suggesting that the process has somehow big rigged in favor of Al Franken or even that there’s some more Republican fantasy voter fraud involved. One point they don’t mention though: the canvassing board, the outfit making all the key decisions has at least as many Republicans as Democrats, and may actually have more Republicans than Democrats. What’s more almost every key decision has been made unanimously.
Secretary of State Mark Ritchie is an elected Democrat. He serves on the canvassing board automatically. For the rest he picked two Republican state Supreme Court Justices (justices appointed by Gov. Pawlenty (R)), one Independent judge appointed to the bench by former Gov. Jesse Ventura, and a fourth county judge who may be a Democrat or an Independent (we don’t know because it was a non-partisan election).
Needless to say, the Journal doesn’t mention this, but hints at it in this feeble excuse, claiming that the rest of the canvassing board has been “meek” in the face of Ritchie’s “machinations.”
Pretty pitiful, but standard fare from the Journal oped page.

GMC – I agree. It seems that MN has been doing an orderly and transparent count. Hopefully they can get it resolved – one way or the other. Perhaps the big thing is to NOT get a lot of outsiders involved.
I agree with NOT involving outsiders! It is the state’s business. And they seem to have been doing a good and transparent job of handling it quite well.
I wish Reid would keep his nose out of Illinois business too. I’m not trying to make any excuses for Blagojevich (there are no excuses!) but until and unless the Illinois legislature relieves him of his duties, everyone else has no business sticking their noses in. And then, even if they do relieve of him of his duties, will it be retroactive? They messed up when they recessed without handling their duties!
Heh HEH!
Suck on it cons. It never rains but it poors!
BlueJay sings…
I’m singin’ the rain just singin’ in the rain!
pours too.
An observation – they BOTH got only about 42% of the vote. A large third-party showing.
the GOP will consider Franken’s win tainted and illegitimate.

Does that remind you of another election, GMC? The one you are tired of hearing about?
What goes around…, etc.

I have many questions, hoping someone knows answers, please.
If the (Minnesota) state Canvassing Board certifies the final result of the race today, will Franken be among those sworn in tomorrow in DC?
Further, at one time I heard court challenges that might include unseating a Senator would potentially be more difficult than those merely challenging election results. Is that true? If so, does that mean Coleman has some part of today to file court action, and get a remedy from said court on the election results?
Funny business, some precincts have more votes now than when they started the count or something like that. A election this close has to go to the dems.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123111967642552909.html
Add Franken’s 220 vote win, and the 750 alleged initial win coleman claimed, and there was around a thousand votes either not counted, mis-counted, or wrongly rejected.
Poor desperate pubs.
Personally, I want to see that man seated, but all legal challenges continue and be transparently resolved–even if that means Coleman prevailing after the fact, and booting a sitting senator. That’s the way the process is supposed to work.
What happened in 2000 was, of course, far different. By this time eight years ago the Supreme Court had long since cut democracy off at the knees. It was a perfectly legal decision, since they had jurisdiction, but an ethically reprehensible and dangerous one nonetheless.
Actually I didn’t care a whole lot until I read Coulter’s rant.

Glad to see that Ann has the ability to influence you to form an opinion!
(need any straw yet)
Strange things keep happening in Minnesota, where the disputed recount in the Senate race between Norm Coleman and Al Franken may be nearing a dubious outcome. Thanks to the machinations of Democratic Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and a meek state Canvassing Board, Mr. Franken may emerge as an illegitimate victor.
Mr. Franken started the recount 215 votes behind Senator Coleman, but he now claims a 225-vote lead and suddenly the man who was insisting on “counting every vote” wants to shut the process down. He’s getting help from Mr. Ritchie and his four fellow Canvassing Board members, who have delivered inconsistent rulings and are ignoring glaring problems with the tallies.

I wonder what Al Franken is doing right now…….
Anybody silly enough to take Coulter seriously needs to be neutered.

They already have been neutered. . . but it was done to their brain(sic).
” BlueJay sings…
I’m singin’ the rain just singin’ in the rain!”
Yeah, as you sit there in your sewage filled life, ha.
Ain’t nothing getting better for you BJ, why….because of you!
“I wonder what Al Franken is doing right now…….”
Probably playing with himself, that’s all he’s ever accomplished.
He is a good mascot for the Democrat Party though, one sorry individual.
Coleman, quit being such a crybaby, get over it, move on!
… election officials opened and counted more than 900 absentee ballots that had erroneously been disqualified on Election Day.
Coleman’s lawyers have argued that some ballots were mishandled and others were wrongly excluded from the recount, giving Franken an unfair advantage. After a Minnesota Supreme Court decision went against Coleman earlier Monday, lead attorney Fritz Knaak said a lawsuit was inevitable.
RP,
“Anybody silly enough to take Coulter seriously needs to be neutered.”
The only ones who do take her seriously are the ones she’s already neutered.
My wife is sitting here talking to me and laughing at you, saying you don’t even qualify as male, let alone a man.
She just said she thinks you are but an anal retentive child that needs psychiatric attention, and questions me even responding. She’s right.
She is a great judge of character, that’s why she married me.
That last comment was directed at ‘misfit’ or whatever is nic is.
It has been removed from the blog….hopefully him as well.
What happened in 2000 was, of course, far different.
Only because your preferred candidate lost. Were Coleman ahead, you’d be crying again. The left’s constant protesting of Bush v. Gore was, and is, based almost entirely on result, not on principle.
Please don’t pretend otherwise.
That’s because Franken’s confrontational style makes him the “perfect right-wing punching bag
LOL after reading part of one of his books I would say that Franken finds the right-wing the prefect punching bag! His high brow humor may leave some at a lost on the Republican side. Unlike many whom take a swing at the left. He can counter with more then the likes of “Oh yeah I know you are but what am I?”. It should be interesting to see Franken and Boehner going at each other. Maybe it would bring out some of our brightest too.
Mrs. “Boxlock20″ told him –
“…you don’t even qualify as male, let alone a man.”
She continued,
“…you are but an anal retentive child that needs psychiatric attention…”
“Boxlock20″ himself says the missus,
“…is a great judge of character…”
Unfortunately it’s a cartoon character.
Probably Elmer Fudd.
Hey Mrs. bawks?
I’m real sorry you don’t have a real man.
You should know that the blog sees that thing you call a husband as a punk. He makes a complete fool of himself here.
My sympathies dear.
Yeah!!!! I’m glad he won!
I haven’t heard of Coleman calling to concede yet.
That speaks to his character if he doesn’t.
O’Reilly is having KITTENS about Franken’s victory.
He says the Wall Street Journal says the election was fixed.
Get me a bowl of popcorn. It’s almost time for Super bawl!
I love Karma.
Send O’Lielly some cheese to go with his whine.
Hey BlueJay,
I told her about my taking you to school, with you standing in the cold parking lot after making a grade school “meet me” challenge, and your fragile, immature ego that doesn’t allow you to admit you made a fool of yourself.
She laughed at you too, she is a teacher and can spot a immature punk faster than anyone I know. Sees right through them. She thinks you are too stupid to learn is part of the problem, but mostly never grew up and remain childish.
Well Mrs. Bawks has her opinion.
But then her judgment can’t be much can it?
And the blog has it’s opinion.
Tell your wife….oh I’ll tell her.
Ma’am? Wanna hold my coat while I teach your husband some manners? Maybe if you hold his hand, he’ll show up.
She this. She that. She something else again.
Al Franken’s Stuart Smalley character has NOTHING on bawks.
He’s good enough. And he’s smart enough. And doggone it she likes him.
Pretty clear who wears the pants over there bawks.
Ha, see BJ, you have to resort to physical threats now. What a joke.
Do you know why? Because you are impotent to do anything to me, or to even effect me blogging.
You are a petty little man is all you are, and not a very smart one at that. How interesting was that parking lot sharp guy? How long did it take you to realize you’d been had, quite awhile as I recall you saying, ha!
And know what….tomorrow, and the day after, and after, and after, you will be in same sorry situation you are now. Probably having not even graduated beyond stealing a $1.50 cent bag of top soil, like you proudly admitted to right here once.
Though not meant to imply this as a compete measure of success or happiness none the less I on the other hand will be very satisfied living in my northeast Tallgrass home, with retirement money in the bank, and farms in KS and TX, with successful professional children and loving grandkids. Oh, and married to a wonderful woman, who is got you figured for a complete loser. Like I said, smart woman.
Look in a mirror BJ….you are a failure, and aren’t doing a thing to change it by your own choice.
You’re sad BJ, you are really sad, and with your attitude I don’t even feel sorry for you as you choose to be a failure.
Bawks peed himself at the thought of meeting up with ANY Dem.
Chicken boy…the sissy scaredy cat.
Maybe Mrs. Bawks will change his diaper.
BTW bawks, I remove my own comments when I want to.
I work at the Beagle.
You trying to convince me, the blog, your wife, or yourself there bawks?
I said I’d teach you some manners. I don’t have to hit you to do that. You do a nice job of beating yourself up.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Bawks lives near 31st and seneca in a trailor home with his trashy wife and drug addicted childs.
Big ol’ long paragraph on how much you got over me.
And yet wit to wit and word to word I can reduce you to about 6 years old.
“BlueJay” offers to teach “Boxlock20″ some manners and “Boxlock20″ perceives it to be a threat.
Yeah, being civil would probably mean a major lifestyle change for the guy. Still, it probably doesn’t really matter if “Boxlock20″ knows which is the salad fork. He probably hasn’t used anything but a spork in years.
BJ,
Wanna meet up with someone on the South end? I know lot’s of home boys that will Homie.
Yeah Monkeyhawk.
My original intent was to take the measure of the guy. He was saying that if gay people were allowed to marry, it would diminish him. Or his marriage. Or his wife, I forget. I wanted to see if he could look me in the eye and say the same thing with a straight face.
With SO much to lose, I guess I understand why he has irrational fear. His stuff must be his compensation for something he feels he doesn’t have.
Huh? That’s funny.
Mrs bigotbawks never says those things when she’s with me.
I guess I just bring out the best in her.
If you know what I mean…
In fact, it’s six pm.
Do you know where your wife is, bigotbawks?
heheheheheh…..
grmie?
Talking like you hear your grandkids do sometimes aint fooling me.
Homie! lol
THESE are what the cons call elder citizens and grandparents. No wonder they are going extinct.
Hee hee heeeee…..
No wonder the cons are so whiney today.
First, Franken is certified by the SOS of Minn.
Then, Pelosi changes the house rules to give the cons less input.
Then…from grmie’s favorite source, the sludge report…
ann coulter banned for life from NBC?
hehehe.
HAHAHAHAAHHAAHAHAH.
There is so much that is going to be so much fun….
Bluejay you poor thing you. Now you are calling Don germy. And here I thought it was a term of endearment you reserved just for me.
Would you like to meet up? I’m planning not to be at the E Kellogg Walmart tomorrow at noon.
Homie,
“gramie?” lmao
You still can’t admit you’re full of it punk.
Homie!
Yeah sure grmie. What do you have in mind? Gonna send some of that prison labor you exploit to rough me up?
Franken is a good writer. Here the comedy just writes itself.
no wonder you’re still a punk
I’m rubber.
You’re glue.
And Al Franken is now a United States Senator.
Snap.

Because, ya know, I’m planning on not being their either.

He does that.
Give me lots to hit you with later.
(affecting Bugs Bunny) MUAAAAAAAW!
BJ if you ever grew a brain would you just take it out and play with it?
I can guarantee that any of the community corrections guys that have worked for us could run mental rings around you. Poor BJ.
BTW my grandkids don’t talk trash talk. They have a very good grasp of the english language.
Yep, the libs love a jester in power.
Be proud of your funny man clown.
Okie,
Isn’t it entertaining to watch these inbred trolls scurry?
Sure am Don.
“okobserver” touts –
“… the community corrections guys that have worked for us…”
So it’s true!
You’ve got a set-up where you can pay the Kansas minimum wage ($2.65 an hour for the first 46 hours per week = a whopping $120 a week for a full-time employee).
But you don’t exploit workers or anything, do ya, “okobserver?” No, they do all the work (for $120 a week) and you have all day to contribute lies and misinformation to this forum.
But I love the kicker:
“BTW my grandkids don’t talk trash talk. They have a very good grasp of the english language.”
Too bad their grandmother doesn’t have that same grasp. The word “English” is always capitalized.
MH you are as big a joke as BJ. What you know about minimum wage wouldn’t fill a thimble. What you know about CC could fit in there too.
“You’ve got a set-up where you can pay the Kansas minimum wage ($2.65 an hour for the first 46 hours per week = a whopping $120 a week for a full-time employee).”
Frequently on here I have said that we hire men off the street with no training and our starting wage is $9.50 an hour. This doesn’t fit your stereotype does it. Those mean old cons.
Why don’t you and BJ meet me at noon tomorrow. We could move a little further up the road. Let make it the Applebees at Newton. Right on the highway. I plan to not be there at noon tomorrow also.
I am retired after many years of working, raising a family and just generally having a life I have throughly enjoyed.
oh okie go lick those skidmarks you like so much!

“Would you like to meet up? I’m planning not to be at the E Kellogg Walmart tomorrow at noon.”
okobserver, oh now you’ve done it! That’s all I did basically, and the genius BlueJay goes and stands in a cold parking lot at Central and Rock for about 45 minutes till he gets cold and needs to go in and play with himself in the bathroom. Pretty much his own tale.
He is so lacking in intellect he still didn’t figure it out by the time he got back to his computer, ha. I had to explain it to the dunce. What a clown.

See he doesn’t even know what was said to cause him to issue his childish challenges to meet, what a lame-brain.
This from the party of the dims that tells us how dangerous Nathan is because he has a gun. Cyber cowards much!
The party of the whinnners trys to pretend they are brave.
mxyzptlk you need to get a brain. While you are at it a new name might not be a bad idea. Talk to chas he has several and will probably loan you one.
Box the truly sad thing is that he is raising a child.
bbbbaaaaawwwwwwkkkkkk bawk bawk baaaaaawwwwwkkkkkkk!
C’mon chickenboy. Everybody here knows what a coward you are.
Hee hee hee heeeee….
Grmie says she know who you are JR, yet SHE is the one who is afraid. After repeatedly saying no one knows who she is. We seem to hear that a lot from the cons, that they know who we are. Like that should scare us the way it scares them.
Project much?
Yeah. They are afraid of everything…
Especially, BOO! Al Franken!!!!!
Can I buy you some diapers germie? You and bawks both need ‘em.
“The party of the whinnners trys to pretend they are brave.”
JR showed up. bigotbawks didnt.
Now say again, who was brave and who was afraid?
heheheh. HAHAHHAHAAHAHAHHAHA.
Dance poodles dance!
ROFLAMO!!!!!
I think bigotbawks tells his story so many times because he’s STILL trying to convince others that he wasnt afraid, that somehow it’s ok to lie, and that JR was somehow the lesser man because he kept his word.
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love it when an atheist has more integrity and a higher moral standing than so called religions folks. JR didnt lie. He kept his word. He reached out.
Bigotbawks? Heheheh. Not so much…..
mxyzptlk, if she really is a grmie, dont you mean Depends, not diapers? Maybe grandpa mcsame has some he can spare….
I think they both need something much heavier duty that “Depends”…after all they carry a HUGE load of __it!
ferment I know it would be a reach for you but there are some idiots on this board that are so mouthy and stupid that you can find out who they are with a little google search.
You happen to be one of those. BJ has had his name on the board frequently because he likes to name others like Regular and in turn he has been exposed.
Now I could get down in the dirt and fight at your level but I choose not to. I’m a better a person than that.
BJ made a veiled threat toward me. This is the second time he has done that. I would ignore it normally but he doesn’t act like his elevator goes all the way to the top. So yes I will report him if he keeps it up.
Now germie is standing in a puddle of her fear.
mxyzptlk/BlueJay lesser?
“you can find out who they are with a little google search.”
Uh, yeah. My point exactly. And some folks here post under their real names. SOME of us are not ashamed of who we are or who knows it.
And yet…
Supposedly no one knows who you are and YOU are the one “threatened”? hehehhe. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
And, for god’s sake, there is an old JOKE about a woman who’s so ugly, that when she was taken hostage in a robbery, the robbers turned her loose when it was daylight.
Because, real slow now, they couldnt stand to look at her in the daylight.
Jesus WEPT! Stupid AND void of humor….
That hardly makes JR a threat. Wanna make an ass of yourself? By all means, print out his posts and report him.
Heheheh. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH!
I hope you do! The cops need the laugh!
“JR showed up. bigotbawks didnt.”
Because JR’s a idiot, and Boxlock took him to school and showed him that very fact.
“BJ made a veiled threat toward me. This is the second time he has done that. I would ignore it normally but he doesn’t act like his elevator goes all the way to the top. So yes I will report him if he keeps it up.”
okobserver, and he did the same to me twice.
I elected to let him stand in a cold public parking lot, looking around like he’d lost his mother, for a long enough time that I hoped he’d wise up.
Ops, no luck…he was just a stupid when he got back.
I am grinning from ear to ear!
The Libs condemned Reagan, then Thompson for just being Hollywood ACTORS.
Now the Libs have Franken (maybe) who is a Comedian.
So WTF?
“okobserver” –
Sorry, but a 250-mile round trip for lunch isn’t in my plans for Tuesday, even for a highfalutin’ dining experience as elegant as Applebee’s. Boy, you really know fine dining!
As for your claim, “…we hire men off the street with no training and our starting wage is $9.50 an hour,” good for you!
Now then: just how many community corrections men [not women?] do you “hire off the street?” What do you pay the community corrections men?

Yeah. I should adopt a newer, “latest,” hip nym?
How ’bout “RogierHawk.” Yeah, that’s clever.
Sorry, “JimJohnson,” but if you’re getting your culture cues from someone named “Rogier,” you probably should join “okobserver” for some high-class fine dining at the Applebee’s in Newton tomorrow. It sounds like something in your league. (Be sure to wear a clean sweat suit, though; one that isn’t stained with drool.
As it turns out, I’ve been on-line for the better part of a decade as “Monkeyhawk.” (Google is your friend.) I’ve never hid my identity from anyone and if (as your cultural guru Rogier — is that French? — alleged), “it’s no longer funny, apparently it used to be.

MOST of them don’t want to touch this after your no show and endless encores.
Okie? Saying that I understand it would be better for you to avoid daylight is not a threat. It is an assessment of your character and a conclusion based on what I have heard about your appearance.
Though, you insult YOURSELF much better than I ever could.

Monkey concentrate really hard and follow the logic. Our starting base rate for inexperience is $9.50 an hour therefore the community corrections workers we have on ocassion start at ‘the starting BASE rate’ for inexperienced employees.
Sorry that Applebees isn’t classy enough for you. I am actually eating at the Wendy’s next door. But I hadn’t planned to eat with you so I told you Applebees so I could watch you and BJ walking around the parking lot.
You guys really are dim bulbs. Are any libs good bloggers? XXX is but I can’t go much deeper that him.
Easy bawks. You’ll give yourself a stroke.
I want you croaking around for another few years.

“It was 20 or so minutes bawks.”
Not that is matters much, you wouldn’t have learned anything in 20 hours I’d guess, and still haven’t, but you said it was considerably longer than that, and then you went inside for awhile.
The point is, and please try and pay attention here, you are a childish dummy. I didn’t issue the challenge, twice. I didn’t say ‘meet me or you are a coward’, with your crude friend to back you up. No, I simply got sick of listening to you and decided to let you ‘cool off awhile’ and frankly you took it hook, line, sinker and pole.
Maybe it would be better for all to simply ignore each others posts. I mean yours are getting easier to do all the time.
“Easy bawks. You’ll give yourself a stroke.
I want you croaking around for another few years.
So I can enjoy your pain?”
Gee, that’s the nicest thing you’ve ever said to me, ha.
IF the cons who post here are a good example of the cons at large, and I believe this to be so?
I gotta smile.
The real dinosaurs like okie and bawks have something of a problem.
They’re old.
This seems to be a trait they share with MANY, perhaps even most of the more narrow minded of their way of….thinking?
SO, they won’t be with us a whole lot longer. Probably, their …ideals? will precede them in death.
Senator Al Franken is as good a start on that as any I can think of.
It seems I’m better able to laugh about it than you bawks. Those on my side of things too…
I wonder why that is?
(Not really)
Oh and no, I’m not tired of talking about it.
It is, along with your many times busted lies and mistakes here, who you have made yourself to be.
“but you said it was considerably longer than that, ”
No, I didn’t.
You’ve got enough trouble keeping your OWN story straight without trying to tackle mine.
What’s old BJ?
One can ‘go’ at anytime, and the way you live, and with no more maturity or intelligence than you demonstrate, I am not really concerned about you and your kind outliving me and my influence in society. Besides, I am helping to bring up young ones like me, and my wife teaches a new class each year introducing them to traditional values and the principals of conservative values.
Go on BJ, hold your breath until what you think is coming arrives, I’d like to see it.
“I am not really concerned about you and your kind outliving me and my influence in society.”
Uh huh.
Your level of comfort shines through in your posts.
“but you said it was considerably longer than that,”
“No, I didn’t.”
Yes you did, I remember you explaining on the blog, standing out in front looking around, thinking I was a guy in the handicapped parking. I got a kick out of that, that’s an insight into your twisted mind for sure. And after getting cold and needing to go to the bathroom you went inside for awhile.
As I said BJ, you were acting foolish, very foolish. Learn from it….try and grow up.
I actually thought about showing up and taking pictures to show on the blog, but they don’t allow you to do that of course.
“okobserver” admits –
“…the community corrections workers we have on ocassion start at ‘the starting BASE rate’ for inexperienced employees.”
Uh-huh.
“On occasion.”
“On occasion” the Yankees play in the World Series.
“On occasion” Tiger Woods plays a good round of golf.
“On occasion.” What a great weasel phrase.
“Sorry that Applebees isn’t classy enough for you. I am actually eating at the Wendy’s next door. But I hadn’t planned to eat with you so I told you Applebees so I could watch you and BJ walking around the parking lot.
So you lied.
So your invitation was a lie.
With that admission — and if I were as insanely obsessive as “Boxlock20″ — I guess I “took you to school.”
Your glorious and prosperous retirement has you planning on sitting alone, gazing out the window, eating a greasy fast-food hamburger in hopes you’ve lured some “dim bulbs” into a 3rd-Class chain restaurant next door.
Damn, you have it made!

————————————————
I haven’t been this amazed since Einstein.
““No, I didn’t.”
Yes you did,”
No, I didn’t.
As your lies go, this is a smaller one. Would you care to build on it before I blow it up?
Then again, “okobserver” –
Those community corrections men you hire off the street for $9.50 hour — on occasion — might be weasel words in the terms of:
“On occasion,” the Kansas City Chiefs have played in the Super Bowl.
“On occasion,” they’ve won it.
“On occasion.”
Sheesh.
Enjoy your Frosty.

=============================================
No BJ, go ahead and Blow Up.
Seems to be the speciality of B J .
I’ll have to record the conclusion of this fantastic debate for enjoyment at a later date.
Well children,
It seems like Harry Reid just agreed to not seat Franken tomorrow.
LOL
HLP,
Thanks, that will make for some sweeter dreams tonight.
Will Reid refuse to seat Burris too?
Should be a fun day for him. Biggest decisions Reid has had to make since he decided to stay in the closet.
“It seems like Harry Reid just agreed to not seat Franken tomorrow.”
No link stubby?
I can’t find one either.
Hey Boxlock20,
It seems that the democrats are afraid of a legal battle. They can manipulate the recount but they can lose under the rules of evidence in court. Under Minnesota law, an election certificate does not issue until litigation has been concluded.
On a lighter note, Burris will show up at the Senate tomorrow and face the democrats and expect to be seated.
It’s going to be very hard for SNL to make this funnier than it already is!
LOL
Just for you BlueJay:
http://www.reuters.com/article/bondsNews/idUSN0539870520090106?pageNumber=2&virtualBrandChannel=10112
“Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid yielded to Republican threats and agreed on Monday not to immediately seat fellow Democrat Al Franken, whose razor-close victory in Minnesota faces legal challenges.
Senate Republicans had planned to disrupt the opening of the new Congress on Tuesday by blocking Franken’s swearing-in.
And in another ugly fight, Senate Democrats vowed to block, at least for now, the seating of fellow party member Roland Burris whose appointment by embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich carries a whiff of political scandal.
I blame Obama fever.
Cons cannot be worked with. They have to be worked over.
Reid needs removed immediately as a signal to Obama.
hehehe
They are cracking before they even start.
I wouldn’t take a lot of comfort in it if I was a con.
It won’t last. The people who think you can be worked with won’t last.
Going to be an interesting few weeks. Looks like Princess Caroline is going to get a Senate seat to help her through her midlife crisis, Burris is going to be treated like a black man from Chicago and Franken will have to prove himself in court.
hehehe
Well BlueJay,
We have something in common! I have no desire to ‘work’ with democrats, they need to be defeated. Compromise to them means do it their way.
Going to be fun, the democrats are like a Chihuahua that chased a car and caught it. Now what?
LOL
Now what is we educate the more charitable among us against what scum you cons really are.
” I have no desire to ‘work’ with democrats, they need to be defeated. ”
There it is. Just as I have always said.
I have met “HLP” on many occasions and have traded shots with him for over three years.
He has few redeeming qualities and is a good overall representative of the right.
They are Americans only in the sense that they live here. They care nothing for anything but their own and their own gain.
They are not to be worked with. They are not to be appeased.
They are to be paved over.
BlueJay quotes HLP and criticizes. Then he says essentially the very same thing only more militantly.
What a hypocrite, or does he even know what he is saying.
What a Marxist.
I did his work for him there bawks.
Folks like him and you are used to that.
You’ll have to get un used to it.
Were Coleman ahead, you’d be crying again.
Heh, GMC, if that makes you feel better about the 2008 election, you go right on believing that!
Heh, GMC, if that makes you feel better about the 2008 election, you go right on believing that!
It’s just the way it is, Rage.
Hank you are SO full of it. Democrats bent over backwards to give you people your way for years. How many of us on this board were p’d off that our dems weren’t fighting back? That’s why Dems okayed all the SCOTUS nominees and the patriot act- even though many of us screamed about it? What crack are you flipping smoking to say WE don’t play nice with your side?
The cons run all over the dems, and if our side gains a backbone with this election and learns to tell the cons ‘fu’, I’ll be ever so happy.
Half of this mess is because the dems didn’t fight harder against the cons. But we did tell you so.
How did those Dems come up with more votes than registered voters? Amazing. America’s wake up call is here and two years from now can’t come fast enough. Out with Sebeilous!
The republicans can take a walk on this one. Sore losers!
“hardworkinman” who votes Republican?
What are you working hard at? Shuffling paper?
Too bad both sides can’t put away their partisan crap and come together to work on the problems. Divisiveness is what got us here and divisiveness is the roadblock that will keep us here. Typical of the narcissism that permeates our country. It’s more fun to trade insults and point fingers than to intelligently discuss anything or exchange ideas. I really hate what our country has turned into.
I refer you to the post of 10:35 PM yesterday Mary.
You’re his neighbor.
And while you visit neighborhoods probably far worse than mine, you ought to be thinking about how it got this way and who is at fault.
Mary? They’re not like us. They don’t care about much of anything but themselves. WHEN they are willing to deal, you can bet it is only in their own interest.
Consider this fight. It’s just one Senator. One among one hundred. But THEY will fight it JUST as hard as they did to steal an election and force bush on us.
The right have one, and only one lesson to teach us. Compromise is surrender.
Two thing for the record, one is I have met and had a very nice conversation with OKie/Granny she is not a Trump and works hard to make a business run they are working owner. Two if someone does not hire these convicted felons just what do you think they can do? If they do not have a job more often then not it is back to lock-up. Or after awhile they are on the streets with nothing else to do and out of money. Pretty soon the old criminal ideology kicks in, “why should I work forty hours a week, doing something I hate for someone I can not stand. When in five minutes I can make as much as I would working forty hours a week?”.
Few employers hire ex-con or work releases no matter how little they would have to pay them.
As to Bluejay, a coward is not an adjective I ever use to describe him. At worst and no offense BJ I would describe him like a Banty Rooster. Not the biggest Rooster in the yard but will not back down no matter what the size of the animal he is facing. Aggressive in his stance and attack and shocking at his intensity.
I had one go after me every time I would enter the chicken yard, it shocked and amazed me that such a small bird would attack me. Never backing down and would place himself in the way of a fight.
I’d think a court would be very reluctant to overturn the findings of the re-count. Coleman already was ruled against by one court.
Franken Declared the Winner in Minnesota
The Minnesota canvassing board has declared Democrat Al Franken the winner of the hotly contested Senate race there. Sen. Norm Coleman (R-MN) filed a suit with the state Supreme Court but the court threw it out yesterday. Coleman vowed to contest the election with another suit, but the chances of him prevailing in the state courts are slim. Even if he gets most of what he is asking for, that is unlikely to produce enough votes to overturn Franken’s margin.
The suit will claim that since each county counted and recounted its own votes without statewide guidance, different standards were used in different counties, thus violating the constitution’s equal protection requirement. Of course, lack of statewide standards applies to all state and federal elections in all states, so that is hardly unique to this case. Thus it seems that his real game plan is to appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court and get a 5-4 decision in his favor as in the Florida 2000 election. Only then, the Supreme Court stopped the counting. Now the counting is finished. It is not clear what the court could decide–maybe force a recount of the entire state?
http://electoral-vote.com/evp2009/Senate/Maps/Jan06-s.html
Harry Reid has backed his own dumbbutt into a corner on this one. He tried to be too clever by half regarding Burris, and he’s shot himself in the foot regarding Franken.
What a nitwit. PLEASE Harry, go “spend more time with your family”.
Of course, that’s what a lot of the country thinks of pasty roberts too.
It is not clear what the court could decide–maybe force a recount of the entire state?
Now that would be deliciously ironic, since it would be exact opposite of what was ordered in Bush v. Gore! But, hey, they made a point of saying it should not be treated as a precedent (which is weird as it sounds). It would fascinating to see how the Supremes would be deal with the equal protection issue when it actually involves counting votes.
As I did in 2000, I want democracy to prevail today, no matter how badly GMC wants to pretend otherwise. I’m not sure how big an issue equal protection is in Minnesota, but we might find out soon enough.
GMC is right on one thing when it comes to Republicans, expect situational ethics. (Depends on who’s in the situation at hand)
