Felons voting was the LEAST of the problems.
1) Secretary of State Mark Ritchie (dem) was asked to investigate serious problems with the registration rolls, including 261,000 duplicates and 63,000 voters who had listed non-existent addresses.
2) Some 17,000 more ballots were counted in the Minnesota Senate election than there were recorded voters.
3) Outside investigators also found that 1,400 convicted felons had voted illegally.
The dems had tens of thousands of fraudulent votes and they still needed to “find” votes after the election to put Franken on top.
It tells me that the Republican Party of Minnesota is WORTHLESS!
I live in Michelle Bachmann’s district. Al Franken got whooped hard here. Too bad the rest of the state sucks.
the real reason Freak won was as I states...nearly 450,000 voteres decided to vote third party...constitutional party?...anyway you slice it, a large number of those third party voters were supposed conservative or libertarian leaning...they should have voted Coleman and they didn't givng the statist leftist Freak and his minions endless power.....
but maybe I'm deluding myself..maybe MInn. are just stupid....plain and simple...
I will take your comments as sarcasm...
if you think it is not by design.. look at the
pioneer depressed today:Buisnesses and Unions send
2.5 million to PACS
the article goes on to bash the supreme court ruling-
(it does mention the money that Mark Dayton and Family
are contrbuting) but, leaves out-
1. how much the Teachers union has been conributing Ten$$
of millions for years.
2. Leaves out AFSCME- TEN$$ of millions for years.
the article is written to show outrage in one direction-
the supreme court ruling created this new money/mess
Teachers unions and the Democrats: joined at the hip.
“Education Minnesota teachers union’s political action committee raised $832,173 for the year, according to spokesman Lonnie Hartley.
Education Minnesota spent $528,955 and ended the year with $333,458 in cash on hand.
The union started 2009 with $30,240 in the bank.”
Guess which party’s candidates got — and will get —virtually all of that money.

No, I expect him to interfere as the chief executive officer of his state who sees an egregious act of thievery taking place. This wasn't conducted in private behind closed doors, it was conducted on a very public theater with lots of media coverage so that there was no dispute about what was happening.
Timmy claims to be a conservative and believes that he is presidential material. What he did was, effectively, see a bank robbery in progress and do nothing about it because he's not a cop.
He could have called one, though, and he chose to do nothing at all. That's not leadership, in my book, that's cowardice - and the GOP has too many cowards as it is.
