9 responses to “Franken takes lead in Minnesota Senate recount”

  They only had to recount the ballots 375 times- I knew if they kept recounting, and if they kept looking (in trunks of cars, under rocks, in tree houses) they’d come up with enough ballots for this clown to win.

  No shenanigans here– I’m confident this is completely honest.

  I do think it’s absurd that it’s December 20 and this is still not solved and I would agree with Nick that the fix is probably at least in Democratic areas of Minnesota. Both sides are certainly doing their best to steal votes and Minnestory has a republican governor which should have advantages the GOP to do their part to steal votes but maybe the Demos in Minnesota are simply more clever.

  I accept that if Franken wins, he will owe his victory to dirty tricks, but I also think if you accept that it happened in Minnesota, you have to accept that it happened in Florida in 2000. And if you think about the implication of Bush stealing the vote in Florida it is pretty staggering. Had Gore won in 2000 we would not be entering an economic depression right now and thousands of innocent American soldiers and Iraqi civilians would not have been murdered.

  Further September 11 would never have happened because, unlike Bush, Gore was a professional who would not have ignored the strong intelligence that US Government had.

  So I agree with Nick, stealing elections in Minnesota is bad, as we witnessed what happened to the world after Bush stole Florida

  I would like to know, JP- from your perspective, how Bush “stole” that election. Any way you counted those votes Bush won– even the NYT confirmed that- but that’s an old argument.

  The US is ripe for an uprising– corruption in the government is not limited to the Dems–these are dark and corrupt times and not what the founders envisioned for our great country and I don’t see a solution any time soon– certainly not in Obama.

  Bush stole Florida the same way Franken is stealing Minnesota now.

  You accept openly and agree with me that Franken is stealling Minnesota, but you think Bush won Florida fair and square.

  Just another example of the fact that as wonderful a person as you are, politically, you are a right wing extremist with fascist tendencies.

  Here is an article that reveals that Bush is largely to blame for our looming economic depression.

  More proof that the stealing of the 2000 election by massive voter fraud and lawbreaking led by Jeb Bush’s henchmen, is responsible for the devastation of America that we see today.

  You’d be better served to broaden you reading material- the nyt is a notorious anti-Bush rag that’s had many many problems with honest reporting in the past, especially the off-the- reservation editorial nut-jobs. As far as I’m concerned it has less that 0 credibility.

  For a bit of balance, I suggest reading this in rebuttal to the nausiating nyt:

  I love how the Bush White House wrote a 500 word rebuttal to the NY Times article. The article obvioulsy hit a sore spot because it is the truth. The truth hurts and Bush is obessing about it as his reign of horror comes to an end. The NY Times is the most pretigious newspaper in the USA, I trust it much more than some blog.

  In any case, Bush should hope that the worst he gets accused of is ruining the American economy. A lot of us on the left feel that President Obama has a moral obligation to the world community to prosecute Bush for his war crimes. Obama may not do so for political reasons, but I hope he has the courage to lock Bush up and throw away the keys.

  ….and Let’s pray that America can recover from the Bush Depression.

  “The NY Times is the most prestigious newspaper in the USA”- that has to be the funniest thing you’ve ever put up here.

  That article was a hit piece- pure and simple– no balance, no mention of the Community Reinvestment Act, no mention of the Clinton admin piling on the CRA, no mention of Franke or Dodd–nothing– just a garbage jumble of words hammering Bush- that’s your definition of “prestige?”

  What’s comforting is the turd that is the NYT is going down the shitter as we speak–

  Irrespective of what’s going on politically- I hope you have a fantastic Christmas in the old country and a wonderful 2009! Seriously!
