Clown Candidate Al Franken Now Leading in Minnesota Senate Recount

I’m in general agreement that most of the news which has come out about the specifics of the recount indicates an effort to — shall we say — give Franken the benefit of the doubt at every turn. It’s the converse of the situation in Florida in 2000, when the other Party controlled the Secretary of State’s office and made decisions seemingly favorable to their candidate.

I don’t think that any statewide election separated by only a few hundred votes can ever be decided unequivocally.

On a personal level, I’m rooting for Coleman. I want to lower the threshold for successfully filibustering legislation. This will prevent Congress from forcing Obama too far to the left on a range of divisive issues. I like the idea of the GOP helping to cover Obama’s a– with the most liberal sector of the Democratic base and, at the same time, to help Obama avoid alienating conservative-leaning centrists.

LOL! Now Larry thinks that Obama is a puppet… lol and re-lol! Is your admiration for your gourou fading off? It is about time.

“I want to lower the threshold for successfully filibustering legislation.” (Larry W.)

LOL! So now you do not trust Democrat Congress and Obama anymore? Would you be a flip-flopper like you master? Like attracts like.

Back to the subject:

The USA voting system stinks. Get rid of these voting machines, they are too easy for manipulation and fraud. Stop that early voting process; aloud it only in special cases, like people who will be out of the country on election day or other special cases. Try to unify the voting processus thru the States. Paper ballots are the best to avoid fraud. Do not aloud voting thru mail or Internet or in small places like stores or whatever.

I don’t know how your system works exactly, but here in Canada, on election day, in every polling places, at every tables, there is a representative of each Party that supervises the voting. At the end of the day, when they open the ballot box at each voting tables, it is counted in front of the two representative of each Party and then the box is sealed with the results on top of the box. It is then picked up by two other representatives of each party and brought to the general head office of election in each provinces. We never have the problem that you have, unless a candidate win by a margin less than 50 votes, those ballots are recounted in the presence of both Parties.

Poor Larry, you still think that Gore won? LOL! You really like fraudulous people, do you? Gore is just another manipulator like Obama. Gore and his fraudulent Global Warming … what an idiot! But like I always say: Like atracts like.

Mike,

First of all there is NO stealing going on in this recount. It is totally above board.
BOTH sides watching very closely.

There is a 5 Member board consisting of both Republicans and Democrats. The scrutiny is extreme.
It is being done in a room open to the public and is being watched very very closely.

To even suggest it’s stealing an election is OUTRAGEOUS and Arrogant on your part.

For those who want to know the real story check here:

Obama is certainly no “puppet.” But he is a politician, and a very skilled one, at that. What he is trying to do (as I have been explaining ever since the election, more than a month ago) is to try to squat down in the middle of the political spectrum. He wants to “own” 65% of the electorate. The way he does that is to govern as far to the right as he can get.

Lemme give you a for instance:

The Dems try to enact legislation denying federal funds to hospitals which don’t provide abortion counseling. Something like that. Or legislation which has the effect of promoting official government recognition of same sex “marriages.”

If Obama signs such legislation, he alienates the right. If he refuses to sign it, he infuriates the left-most part of his base.

But, if the GOP filibusters the legislation, he’s off the hook. I can see a certain amount of that stuff happening. Clinton had it far easier, in a sense, when the GOP took control. He wasn’t presented with such far left legislation.

On the other hand, I’m sure that Obama will be very effective in forging a filibuster-proof consensus on a range of clearly meritorious legislation.

Anyway, I also think that Coleman is a better Senator that Franken is likely to be, based on the few times I listened to extended segments of Air America.

“To even suggest it’s stealing an election is OUTRAGEOUS and Arrogant on your part.” (Crap)

lol! Obama’s thugs hacked the voting machines, I am sure of that. And this was done with no fingerprints and no witness. You are very naïve and do not realize how your Obama is corrupted. I am even sure that Obama did not win this election. It was all fraud since the beginning.

The NYT concluded that Bush would have won with either of the only two vote counting strategies ever advanced by the Gore team, which were selective re-count of a few counties or re-count only of “accepted” ballots state-wide (realizing that there wasn’t enough time to count the initially rejected ballots). There were, however, several scenarios where Gore might have won, had the initially rejected ballots been counted on a state-wide basis. These are detailed on the link I provided.

In all scenarios, however, vote margins were in the 100s, not thousands, and the election was effectively a draw, just like the present Minnesota election.

Larry, Gore called in the lawyers first and initially attempted to keep the military ballots from being counted. When it became clear it would be hugely bad publicity for him, he backed down.

Oh and Larry, Katherine Harris seemed to be aware that allowing the dems to get all the recounts they wanted would create what we see in MN and the examples Ann wrote about. They have no problem gaming the system or even cheating to win.

Larry disqualifies every articles against his Party, but will believe any lies on Sarah Palin… lol

Show some real proof! I am certain you have none.

Would that be the same kind of hacking that happened on voter machines in Ohio 2004???

You are so full of yourself!! YOU lost get over it!!

Coleman adjusting to ‘59′:

“I feel fairly confident. In the end, the good Lord’s going to decide,” Coleman told the local Fox affiliate. “The numbers look good to us. Certainly there’s uncertainty. I’m not worried about it. I’ve done everything I can do. I’m not really agonizing about the outcome.”

…”Life goes on, regardless of what your job is. I certainly love what I do. If I can keep doing it, I’ll be thrilled, and if not, I’m sure we’ll do something else.”
