Coleman won’t run
Former US Senator Norm Coleman, seen by many as the candidate in either party most likely to broker a stadium deal for the Minnesota Vikings, has decided to sit out of the race to replace presidential hopeful Tim Pawlenty, who decided to forego a possible third term as Minnesota governor.
Coleman lost a tough, close battle with Al Franken for the US Senate seat from Minnesota, in an election marked by allegations of ACORN-inspired election fraud – even though the court system refused to consider such evidence.
While many saw Coleman as the biggest name the GOP could field to replace Pawlenty, the truth is that Coleman is a notorious RINO and was not considered a welcome entrant by the conservative wing of the party. By sitting out the race, there remains a chance a real conservative could prevail from the primary fight.
Still, one has to wonder why Coleman chose to sit out an election he thought he could win; does Franken have pictures of Coleman taking womens vitamins or something? Doubtful.
Dems vow revenge if Coleman succeeds
If Norm Coleman succeeds in proving election fraud (which is pretty darn obvious in this race) in his re-election bid against SNL candidate Al Franken, the Democrats in Washington are so drunk with power that they have vowed to never give Senator Coleman a moments rest; they will hound him with ethics probes for the entire six years, or until they lose their majority, whichever comes first.
While otherwise acting like mold killer, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who bears a distinct resemblance to the hindquarters of his party’s animal symbol, is proving that even in overwhelming victory, the Dems are sore losers.
Coleman’s hopes still holding on
The hope of Norm Coleman to retain his Minnesota US Senate seat is still alive for now. There will be a hearing, despite Al Franken’s request to make Coleman go away and leave him alone after successfully stealing the election with the help of Acorn Secretary of State Mark Ritchie.
While it might take some car lifts to ever find all the lies and deceptions in this Franken shoplighting caper, the truth is this: following the state’s so-called “fair and accurate” recount, we now have 25 Minnesota counties that have recounted vote totals that exceed the actual number of people who signed in to vote on election night.
And we’re to believe this was a “fair and accurate” recount?
Only by ACORN standards.
Franken declared Minnesota’s first fake Senator
In a case of election fraud so obvious it would make Algore wonder where he went wrong in Florida eight years ago, ACORN Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and his canvassing board declared Saturday Night Live comic and failed liberal talk-radio host and all-around blowhard Al Franken “the winner” of the U.S. Senate seat in Minnesota previously held by Norm Coleman.
Despite a series of one-sided decisions by Minnesota courts to deny all of Coleman’s claims and grant all of Franken’s wishes, the closest election in recent Minnesota memory saw voter fraud so wide-spread in heavily Democratic precincts that many reported recount totals far higher than the number of total ballots cast on election night.
The effort was successful in claiming a vote total turnaround that, on election eve, favored Coleman by over 700 votes, to a post-recount total that favors Franken by 225 votes.
Of course, Franken, Ritchie and company shut off the faucets as soon as Franken was comfortably ahead, even though there are still plenty of uncounted absentee votes that may or may not favor Coleman and turn the tide again.
Can’t have that, can we? After all, as far as the mainstream Minnesota media is concern, they “right” person finally succeeded; now all those fine words about counting every vote are about as worthless as Franken’s election certification.
Franken just barely ahead in US Senate fraud-recount
Determined to continue counting until they can manufacture the healthy margin they wan Al Franken to win by, the Minnesota Recount group announced that, for the first time, Franken had pulled ahead of Norm Coleman in the recount by about 46 votes.
Yet it’s not enough for Minnesota Acorn Secretary of State Mark Ritchie and his band of election fraud workers, so the recount is continuing even though the numbers have always broken Franken’s way since recounting began; at one point, Coleman had won re-election by as much as over 750 votes. That means about 800 votes have broken Franken’s way so far, with no Coleman shift to even balance it out.
Forget the Hydroxycut reviews, the real weight-loss is going on with Coleman’s vote totals as Minnesota DFLers continue to count and to count and to count until thay have Franken up by a couple hundred thousand or so.
Amazing how we can be watching election fraud right before our eyes but no one can stop it.
Coleman still leads by 292
No one is sending out any wedding invitations just yet, but with 86 percent of the mandatory recount completed, incumbent Minnesota Republican Senator Norm Coleman still leads DFL challenger Al Franken by a gap of 292 votes.
While the last 14 percent of votes are still to be recounted and endless court challenges are planned, what most folks don’t like to admit is that at no point has Franken taken the lead in any final vote totals. Determined to turn this Senate election into another Florida Recount mess, we can count on Franken whining and appealing and recounting throughout Coleman’s six-year term.
But at this point, it’s hard to imagine a scenario that legitimately swings the election in Franken’s favor.
Coleman-Franken: The ACORN Recount
Just hearing political pornographer Al Franken speak is enough to make a person run away and burn some fat, even if it’s not the best fat burner. But in a recount upon which could ride the potential of a filibuster-proof Democratic US Senate, there’s plenty of nauseating dialogs to be found.
The troubles with the Coleman-Franken recount are numerous. First and foremost is ACORN’s involvement in voter fraud over the past two election cycles. While folks like Secretary of State Mark Ritchie (DFL) would prefer claim ACORN’s not a problem in Minnesota, that’s just too much of a stretch to be believed, considering the group’s been charged with voter fraud in 15 states and rising in the past couple of election cycles or so.
Of course, that’s another problem: Ritchie, a DFL loyalist, worked with ACORN before achieving public office and is not the most neutral of judges on their campaign ethics. Ritchie won the secretary of state’s office by being part of a MoveOn.org effort called The Secretary Of State Project, designed to place radical liberals in those offices to help “massage” election results in favor of the donkeys.
Finally, the ONLY candidate benefiting from late “vote finds” is Franken, which is statistically just about impossible. Pretty soon we’ll be able to change our state motto to, “Minnesota: Land of 10,000 Lakes and 10,000 election fraud votes for Al Franken.”
Tax hike supporter Franken taxed by taxes
If he were a certain type of celebrity, Al Franken, hoping to secure the DFL endorsement to run against GOP Senator Norm Coleman, could blame this oversight on a stint in drug rehab. But Franken has no such convenient excuse to fall back on.
As the next socialist hoping to be elected from the state of Minnesota, Al Franken, who supports taxing the rich into an early grave, and then taxing the remainder out of their heirs, has fallen afoul of his own pet policy, taxes.
The PioneerPress is reporting that Franken owes over $70,000 in back taxes, penalties and interest; apparently amorphous Al attempted to pay taxes only in the state where he primarily worked and not in all the states in which he earned money. This interstate-taxation scheme, dreamed up by socialist tax-n-spenders like Franken himself, has finally nipped one if its proponents in the rear.
Franken has said he will pay off the $70,000; it will be interesting to see if he still says rich people like him are not paying, “their fair share.”
