Sounds like they didn’t get the voter intent worked in to the Gore election and they are going to try their damndest in this one.

[EagleUSA]

The filthy libs cannot handle losing in a legitimate election and even worse, then cannot stand losing A RIGGED ELECTION.

[Dr. Ursus]

What action will the people of Minn. take if Reid appoints
Franken? 49.9% of them voted for Franken!

[BellStar]

“sounds like an extortion attempt to push state officials into a particular decision that would violate the law in order to produce a specific partisan result.”

This would be a very bad and damaging precedent to/for all who take part in it. I think it will not come to this.

[EQAndyBuzz]

I think Reid doing something would be great for the nation.

Then the American people file a lawsuit against Obama becoming President. Cite ACORN operations in states that would normally vote Republican but voted Democrat as evidence of fraud. Use the same “intent” strategy as Franken is using.

The intent was to vote Republican but ACORN fraud disenfranchised voters.

Demand a new election.

It boils down to Chambliss. If he loses, then the democrats will steal MN at any cost including invalidating the election and seating franken in order to get to 60 votes.

[coloradan]

It is absolutely vital to the vigor of a democracy that every single vote is counted. So long as it’s a vote for Franken, that is. The other votes don’t really matter.

Sincerely, the mass media.

Perhaps this is the esteemed Mr. Franken’s greatest joke.

[Gary Johnson in 2012]

Al Franken-Gore.

[SteamShovel]

Gone are the days when the loser of a close election would have the class to accept a tough loss and wish the winner well.

Republicans accept a tough loss all the time with class and tact. This is sometime (actually almost always) despite real issues with RAT cheating and voter fraud.

[conservative_cyclist]

The reason the Dems are sore losers, is because they think they have it in the bag, from bribes and shananigans they put in place to ensure a win. Then when they come out the loser, they cannot except it. I don’t believe for one minute that 49% of Minnesotans really voted for him from their heart.

...Its very likely, nothing...."Red Messiah" Obambi, Wills It.

[centurion316]

Like many things emitting from Harry Reid’s mouth, these are empty words. He won’t seat Franken once the election is certified for Coleman and he knows it, he’s just trying to placate his base. I think that it would actually be a good thing if he did it, and even better if he succeeded.

The American public and Republicans, in particular, need some more wake up calls to bring them to grips with what the Democrat Party has become and exactly what sort of people are running it.

[hinckley buzzard]

Expect Minnesotans to take action if Reid pursues that path.

Why. It was Minnesotans who gave this joker a dead heat finish in the first place. Maybe they can appoint some washed up professional wrestler to take his place.

[Emperor Palpatine]

Like Robert Shaw says in "The Sting" after getting beat at his own braced card game with Paul Newman...

"What the hell am I supposed to do? Accuse him of cheating better than I did?"

[hinckley buzzard]

I don't think the Senate can appoint someone but they can refuse to seat him. If Reid refused to seat Coleman I guess it would be up to Minnesota to either send the secondplace finisher Franken, or hold a new election. Either way I would hope the Minnesotans would have the selfrespect not to send up a tainted polluted 'rat.

[Dr. Ursus]

Yes,I think you right.Thanks

Perfect quote!
