The Minnesota Supreme Court ruled today that Democrat Al Franken won the U.S. Senate election and said he was entitled to an election certificate that would lead to him being seated in the Senate. "Affirmed," wrote the Supreme Court, unanimously rejecting Republican Norm Coleman's claims that inconsistent practices by local elections officials and wrong decisions by a lower court had denied him victory.

What the He** MN. Is this really the best you can do??? First a washed up wrestler for Governor and now a freaky looking comedian for your senator. Are you brains frozen up there???

You don't have to worry too much about Franken.
His grasp of the legislative process, and witty sense of discourse in actual debate
will probably be too far over your head.

If the election were held today, Franken-stein would only get about 10% of the vote. Yah, you betcha! For sure!

You just won 10% Unemployment and disrespect from the whole world!!! Yeah!!

Suddenly world respect is important? That's not what you guys were saying from 2001-2008.

Your scoreboard shows the socialists to be winning.
Vietnam Veteran
WeWon - Just what did win? Name me one good thing about either the proposed Health Care or Energy policy. Look at your pay stub a year from now, if you still have a job, and tell me what you won.

To Vietnam Veteran:
One good thing is lower costs for health care. Even Republicans are admitting that a public option will be cheaper than private insurance. It's interesting that they say Government Insurance is doomed to fail, yet it is also so competitive that private companies can't keep up.
Anyway, cheaper insurance? universal coverage? These lead to more check-ups and less ER visits. (An ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure thing).
Will my taxes go toward other citizens getting coverage, you bet. We are a society. We are in this together. My taxes (yours too) go to pay for roads, schools, tunnels, etc. that neither of us will ever drive on. Is that redistribution of the wealth? Our taxes pay for medical coverage of our servicemen and vets, surely you are aware of that.
The military provide a service to this country, defense. But we all provide a service to this country: teachers, bricklayers, etc. We all better this country in our own way.
If my tax dollars go to making someone's life better, so be it. I can sleep well at night.

Unemployment 76% CONSIDER IT DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of a legitimate news site calls a United States Senator "Stuart Smalley?"
You have lost all credibility. Imagine how bunched up all your panties would get if MSNBC did that to a GOP member.
And you laugh at your own immaturity. The blind leading the blind.
Aj
You just go right ahead and keep watching PBS. Its why you people are politically ignorant.
Mike
Good observation.
Vietnam Veteran
cricket - You need to get a life. I can remember MS-NBC referring to Bush as "Alfred E Neuman". I bet your idea about a legitimate news site is MS-NBC.
Patriot in Atlanta
To Vietnam Veteran:
I have done internet searches with "MSNBC" with "Alfred E Neuman" and "Alfred E Newman." I've never known what the correct spelling is.
Anyway. I haven't seen any examples of when the News Organization itself compared Bush to the Mad Magazine character. There have been bloggers on MSNBC sites who did, to be sure, but not the official site.
Could you provide an example?
Anyo
So bizarre, it would be funny if it was another nation.

I never thought I would live to see the day when elections in our great nation could be so tampered. They steal our national heritage with impunity.

or...or...there's just a majority of Americans who think differently than you do.

You're right, D.A. Bush stealing the election in 2000 was shameful.
MN Valley
The Supreme Court decided the 2000 election NOT the Electoral College...
Vietnam Veteran
andy - This is a no spin zone, check your facts. After a full recount of the entire state of Florida in 2000, Bush was the undisputed winner. But you probably never heard that on MS-NBC.

A zombie is nothing more than a body deprived of its conscious powers of cerebration; for the O’bot, there is no fate more desirable. In Democratic Voodoo, the zombie astral (ti-bon-ange) is seized by the Ob@ma, forcing the body and soul of the dead head into his service. The zombie can refuse no task and is often used solely for physical labor at ACORN, as a slave. Although portrayed as violent tax and spend elitist snobs, if one were to encounter a zombie, they would find them to be vacant, enslaved pitiful creatures without the ability to harm anyone unless commanded to vote three or more times by their Dim masta’s.

It's all just more of the same.

Why, if the health care insurance is sooo efficient, would they fear a little competition from a big old inefficient government plan.

Droped posts, word processor is so slow it won't keep up with your typing. Several minute lag time.
Word processor freezes up.
Have to leave site and come back in to post more than one post.
Very frustrating web site. Non existent support. No info about moderators that are deciding who is posted or not posted.
No link to them, etc.
Anyone ??
