It's the blueprint for "winning" elections. They are doing exactly what they did in the 2004 governor's race in Washington State. Why do you think the democrats here in Washington sent in their "recount" specialists to Minnesota?

You couple that with their ability to "find and interpret ballots" and with the 'rats running the election offices, dominating the canvassing boards and when it ultimately ends up in the courts, they got it wrapped up there too.

It ends up that you have just about no chance of winning an election.

How long do you think it will be before Al throws his first punch at another senator?

“This is what happens when conservatives stay home.”

Or vote for a Barkley because Coleman just wasn’t up to conservative purity standards.

From an ‘atlas shrugged-esque point-of-view’ only when society has fully been ground to a hault due to the libs will there be any hope of true reform.

The real issue is this is another case of a third party candidate causing mayhem... did it in GA, too... thank goodness there it went to a re vote instead of a recount.

The rats running the SoS offices is part of the Soros plan to take over all 50 states.

“So we count until the Democrats win. What the F*CK is that?”

It’s called in-your-face CHEATING, and Republicans seem too busy finding new ways to stick their heads up their butts to complain much about it.

Gees...I forgot about him. How long was he governor before he got the boot? As far as I know, Ellison is still in office, isn’t he?

Time to go underground against the socialists, throwing sand in the gears of the system when no-one is looking.

“Those who cast the votes decide nothing. Those who count the votes decide everything.” —Josef Stalin (attributed)

The problem with aiming for a comeback in 2010 or 2012 is that the Democrats have ACORN, Project Vote, the MSM, Soros financing and a blank check to violate every campaign law they care to. The gutless GOP isn’t going to do or say anything about it. I am not even sure they disagree with the Democrats that much any more.

The GOP, when not actively assisting the Democrats (cue John McCain), are playing by the Marquess of Queensberry rules while the Democrats are playing with a set of rule considerably more ruthless. So how does a dispirited GOP who are rightly held in contempt by a lot of conservatives win an election against corrupted state officials and election tampering?

Answer? Bearing in mind a 5% shift in the vote moves victory from one party to the other, I don’t think they do win!

Franken should not have been even close enough for a recount. It would seem that the Socialist propaganda has won out in the North East. The State of MN will now be represented or not by a complete idiot. Elections have
consequences.

It’s not over. Don’t surrender prematurely.
