In the Minnesota Independent’s coverage of former Sen. Norm Coleman’s latest push for a “do-over” election, they also point to our recent coverage of GOP chair Michael Steele’s obnoxious and absurd fund raising email to GOP members:
Well, that’s a good point, isn’t it? With Steele, the Republican Senatorial Campaign Committee, the Republican National Lawyer’s Association, and all of their affiliated wingnuts claiming over and over that Franken is “stealing” the election (as we detailed and linked in our report), why aren’t the Republicanists calling for criminal charges to be brought against him?
It does seem rather gracious of them to allow Franken to compete in a “do-over” for a U.S. Senate seat which they claim to have evidence of him trying to “steal” in the first place, no?
Are the wingnuts just nice that way? Or are they just full of shit? Hmmm, tough call.
(BTW, with all of those charges by the Republicanists, before the election, of ACORN committing massive “voter fraud,” shouldn’t Coleman and the Republicanists have brought forward their evidence for that during this important election contest trial, since they seem to have lost by only about 250 votes? Especially in MN, where ACORN helped to register more than 42,000 new voters prior to last year’s election? With all of those fraudulent ACORN voters, and with Coleman’s team having gone over every single vote cast with a fine-tooth comb, you’d think the GOP could have offered evidence of at least one case of “voter fraud” committed by ACORN in MN, no? Apparently not.)
So, currently Minnesota only has one Senator? All of the children are above average? Franken wrote a couple of books with academic foot notes in connection with Harvard. What has Coleman published? I can only assume that Minnesota is “below averageâ€.
The Senate should simply seat Franken. Let the Republicans sue, I agree wholeheartedly. Everyday that Minnesota is without one of its Senators, the state is damaged. I suspect that Minnesotans are so disgusted by now, Franken might win by a landslide. Who would vote for the losers?
I disagree with Larry Linn in this one way: the only thing in Minnesota that is “below average” is Coleman.

After state election law has run its course.
Yes! … at the federal level.
Careful, that way lies the excuses used for
Bush v. Gore… let state election law run its course.
Republicans?
Well, his legal team has also been way below average… and they’re in MN right now 🙂
Right oh Brad. I mean I was for a full legal recount and FOLLOWING STATE LAW, but ENOUGH! SEATED FAIR AND SQUARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The cry babies should now go home and reflect on their shared infamy.
The arrogant, mendacity of these R people are flabbergasting. And what’s also mind-blowing is the base that mindlessly agree. This is a case of useful co-dependence for the R politicians, and the obliging Replican-Republican-Roboticans that actually parrot and vote for them. Repulsive!
Zapkitty, I agree completely, A quick fix only works for Coleman. I did run across an interesting and hopeful analysis of some language in the latest MI Supreme Court ruling though:

Good news for Al?
As I have noted: the Republicans are doing one heck of a job keeping a Democrat out of the US Senate for as long as they can. Not bad for a minority party, eh?
Hey Brad! Team Coleman did present evidence of at least one case of voter fraud! Oh wait, that was a Coleman voter. Sorry. Carry on. Nothing to see here. Carry on.
Oh yea! It’s our liberal turn now to get them back ! Folks this is all just divide and conquer tactics. Keep you busy putting out all these small fires while the real issues, banking usury, zero military financial accounting, zero education funding, factual news suppression in the mainstream media, etc. Everything you type here is used as one big focus group to package and sell you the next lie. We have a rare opportunity to all focus on ONE thing and push it through right now – Closing the Federal Reserve and stopping usury. Dedicate your efforts to that and most if not all of the worlds ills will dissipate.
