The making of Sen. Blutarsky
Waterbury Republican-American ^ | July 3, 2009 | Editorial

Posted on 07/03/2009 8:43:49 AM PDT by Graybeard58

After all the votes were tallied Nov. 4, incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman of Minnesota led socialist Democrat Al Franken by 725 votes. The mandatory recount reduced the margin to 215. And then the lawyers took over.

They won rule changes in the middle of the game that allowed election officials to add previously disqualified votes to Mr. Franken's total and subtract valid votes from Sen. Coleman's. They unearthed thousands of heretofore missing absentee ballots, all from counties that had gone overwhelmingly for Mr. Franken, and suddenly their boy was up by 312.

Then the lawyers got the courts to stop the counting and declare Mr. Franken the winner. (This was how the 2000 presidential election was supposed to turn out for the Democrats.) The election now stolen, U.S. Sen. Al Franken, as ridiculous as that may sound, now heads for Capitol Hill to join all the other unfunny clowns infesting "the world's most deliberative body."

You know what, no. I will not have you besmirching the memory of a great American comedian by comparing him to Al Franken.

Al Franken is a pimple on the hemorrhoid of a butt-plug abused sphincter if I ever could believe such a thing exists

Mark Dayton was an assclown who made Minnesota the laughingstock of the nation by holding the honor of the dumbest senator with a penis. Al Franken will make Mark Dayton look intelligent.

This article is so true as well, and thanks once again for the ping Graybeard.

The amazing thing is the lack of any apparent movement to counter the theft, the fraud, the illegalities so blatantly forged by the Leftistsphere.

They cannot win by honest voting events on anything, therefore the are compelled to win by fraudulent means. That in itself tells us something about them, as well about us that they do win.

Thanks for the ping, FRiend. Is that the entire article above, or is it excerpted? (I went to the Waterbury Republican-American site and couldn’t find the article.) Thanks...

Hey , this in Minne-so-cold. Their brains are frozen.
Don't forget they voted in Mark Dayton to the Senate and Jesse Ventura as governor.
Now 0bama has his filibuster proof Senate to go along with his superduper majority in the House of unRepresenatives. Once he/they gets a majority on the Supreme Court, it is over.

That’s the entire thing. At the link there are three short articles, it’s the one in the middle.

I'm with you, but I'm a transplant to this wacked out state. Nonetheless, the Senator and I are going to become very close. I am going to let him know what the 60% of the people who didn't vote for him are thinking about at all times.

Yup. Franken is disgusting little worm. Brother Blutto was just plain awesome. Zero point zero.

Barbara Boxer holds the honor of the dumbest senator who wishes she had one.

...and of course dumbest period.

My attitude on this sort of thing is changing. I now believe that if a Republican is not smart enough to see this sort of thing coming and nip it in the bud then he's not smart enough to hold the office. Correct me if I am wrong, but AFAIK Tom McClintock is the only Republican to outmaneuver a Democrat recount scam. Studying the management his last election campaign for Congress could prove salutary for many Republicans.

Excluding the mother of all attempted democrat recount scams - The presidential election of 2000.
