In the movie "Friday," Smokey (played by Chris Tucker) and Craig (played by rapper Ice Cube) are routinely harassed by Debo (played by Tommy Lister, Jr.) Debo takes their jewelry and their money throughout the movie, before Craig finally stands up to him and kicks his behind.
There are parallels to the movie and to today's Republican Party, but unfortunately there won't be a heroic ending, just a never-ending loop of bumbling Republicans bending over and doing whatever the Dems want, sort of like a Laurel and Hardy short. Here we have in Minnesota, Norm Coleman is getting the rug completely pulled out from under him, and not a peep from Coleman, the MN GOP, conservative blogs & activists, or from the RNC.
WHERE IS THE F OUTRAGE?
Is the Republican Party really going to let a half-twit, not funny, former SNL flunky who used to call himself Stuart Smalley steal a United States Senate seat?
Folks, we're talking about a Senate seat here. As a Senator, Franken would be making important votes that not only would affect MN, but would impact the nation as well. Is the Republican Party really going to roll over and die for this clown? This is arguably the most brazenly stolen election in American history. It is the equivalent of bank robbers stealing money with armed police officers solemnly looking on.
But let's get back to Coleman. Does he even want to be Senator anymore? Has he made any angry statements denouncing Franken, ACORN, and the post-election tactics used? Where is Coleman at anyway? Probably yukking it up with Mitt Romney and other country club Republicans who talk about liberals not like some terminal illness that they are, but rather mere inconveniences with whom we have to work with, as the blue-bloods casually shrug their shoulders. Oh, Coleman is probably standing by, holding his head up, "confidently" believing that the recount will somehow go his way. All for the sake of bipartisanship, you know. The man is getting his job stolen from him and he wants to display bipartisanship and be "above the fray." What a bunch of vomit inducing crock if I don't kill myself first from the dry heaves. This is the same disgusting, milquetoast, compassionate conservatism crapola that has caused the Republican Party to lose 2 consecutive elections. The GOP has no spinal cord, no testicles, it has all the leadership of a caboose. Folks, if Franken is allowed to steal this seat, and it appears that he will, then EVERYBODY from homeless bums to illegal alien murderers will run for Senate in the future.
>Is the Republican Party really going to roll over and die for this clown?
F***ing A, it will.
Hence, my tagline
I hear Coleman is going to court on this. The time for him to attack Franken was during the election campaign, but Coleman insisted on ‘no personal attacks’.
Your tagline hits it right on the head! I didn’t donate a dime to Captain Queeg, and I wont write a check to the GOP until I see a Republican with the guts to stand up to the Muslim Marxist, Botox Pelosi, Dingy Harry, and their allies in the press.
>and I wont write a check to the GOP until I see a Republican with the guts to stand up ...
You and me both, brother. You and me both.
A limousine liberal who has a ton of expensive schooling but still can't manage to say anything more meaningful than, "you know" and remind everyone her daddy was once President is about to become a U.S. Senator.
A man whose single best credential is the color of his skin has been appointed to a U.S. Senator.
This should be the plot of a bad soap opera, not the people running our nation.
Coleman's problem - and it's a reason why Gordon Smith & Jim Talent lost their races - is that they bragged about how they worked with Democrats and that they were "bipartisan." Yeah, that bipartisanship is really working out well for you right Coleman.
Even when they were in the majority, Republicans were focused on getting along with Democrats. Even when Republicans were tied with the advantage of the VP vote, they agreed to share power with Demcrats.

The Senate is not meaningless. Right now, it's the last line of defense for our Republic. Why do you think Palin campaigned for Chambliss. By re-electing Chambliss, it sent a message to the GOP that they needed to stand up to Obama's socialist agenda. Now with Franken stealing the seat, that may not give the Dems the magic 60 seat majority but the GOP's fecklessness have completely given cover to the other RINOs (Specter, McCain, Snowe) to help the Dems. That's why I'm angry that Coleman isn't screaming his head off over this.
I wonder how different the Republican party would have been if Nixon decided not to pursue evidence of voter fraud in Chicago in the 1960 election.
I am on their list because I made a donation to McCain/Palin (only because Palin was on the ticket). I politely ended call by saying I am only supporting local conservative candidates that I know personally (or hear good things about on this site).
I think you forget McAmnesty and the other RINO layabouts who will side with the ‘Rats.
Me too. I simply told them that they needed to fight, as I said I wouldn’t contribute.
Coleman needs to get those 600 additional absentee ballots to be counted by the Supreme Court which I doubt will happen.
Thank the 15,000+ people who voted for the Libertarian and Constitution party candidates.
Why don't you educate us on YOUR bravery, investment, contribution and investment?
What have you accomplished in YOUR LIFE to have ANY standing whatsoever???
In my short time here, I know that there is no prospect for chronic whiners to man up when challenged..
ditto.
another example of
“bipartisanship”.

Sane Democrats that would’ve voted for Coleman went with Dean Barkley. Barkley was the real problem, but the vote count is still odious and I believe Coleman won, however narrowly.
