Minnistota sends loon to congress. (Franken seated)

What's the difference when the sk@nk Pelosi and the criminal Reid don't let our elected representatives read any bills. Piss on Pelosi, Reid, Franken and every other criminal in Congress!!!They all deserve prison!

Now if they just work on getting rid of Michelle Bachmann in the House of Representatives! Annie

That would do it.

Peavey, if you don't like it you can move to Minnesota and vote him out of office. Don't you just love a country where we vote for our leaders instead of appointing them?

Now, what's that supposed to mean? That I don't have a right to an opinion? I don't have to be able to vote for or against a person to have an opinion about it. For instance, Pelosi and Reid are criminal idiots in my opinion, so I have to move all around the country just so I can say so?

Peavey, I didn't say that you don't have a right to say this, I'm just pointing out the fact that if you don't like this you can move to this state and vote him out. But, don't you think that the people of Minnesota have the right to choose who represents them? Or, should they have to get YOUR approval? I didn't approve off Bush, so I didn't vote for him, I didn't just complain about the people that voted for him, I did my best to make sure he didn't get elected again. Like I said: If it bothers you this much, than you can move their and vote him out of office.

That reminds me...wasn't Florida the center of voting issues in the two elections that elected Bush? I think that voting standards should be universal across the country...our problem is that our constitution was written for thirteen states, not fifty! Hopefully someone in Washington will realize that one day and think about making a change for the better! Let's streamline and unify our country!

The criminal, Harry Reid needs to be reminded that the officials of the state of Minnisota don't work for him. For that matter, he needs to be reminded that no Senator works for him either.

That scumbag Reid was actually trying to have him seated even before the recount was complete and constantly demanded the governor and secretary of state certify him in direct violation of their constitution.

Now let's see... If I recall Franken won even after the recount. Bush stole the presidency and the republican Supreme Court appointed him president not the people whose vote wasn't counted. I would have brought this up until you made such a filthy comment Ted.

That was Minnesota, but in all fairness Jesse Ventura had 4 years as a mayor and six years of military experience under his belt before he was elected as governor of Minnesota. He wasn't some moron without a clue like Franken.

[b]Piasabird AND Taskr--AMEN TO BOTH OF YOU! I still doubt whether he actually won. Think "ACORN".... Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

How about some sanity in the Parliament?

Jon Stewart? You can have him! Deal! He'd make a good Prime Minister, don't cha think? Personally, I don't think he's funny anyway. Now, Steven Colbert is hilarious!

yup that would be good as well. but we don't get people like franken standing for it so not like we can elect him here. John Stewart for president anyone

While there at it they can have Chicago, let's make it a package deal!

Nope - we all ready have Quebec. But maybe we could trade - you take Quebec and we take Minnesota.

Yes, you do have a right to express your opinion as do I. Frankly, I don't think I need to worry about other state senators OR congresspeople because what they chose to vote for on an individual basis most likely won't affect me. And if I felt that it DID affect me, I'd make sure I'd go out and try to make a difference in MY way. By the way, I happened to use Arnold as an example of a general nature. I feel very strongly about allowing stem cell research, and vote accordingly. That was the deciding factor in selecting my vote in the Bush/Kerry battle--both were equally bad candidates, but Kerry was for stem cell research whereas Bush is against it. I only corrected your spelling because it makes YOU look ignorant and uneducated; the simple fact that you understand how our government is structured does not mean that you're the most intelligent person in the room. People DO judge you by your grammar and spelling, and I'd suggest taking a moment to spell check your comments beforehand. But obviously I touched a nerve...that's also part of life. Toughen your skin and continue fighting for what YOU believe in! Give the guy the briefest of chances...didn't he just get seated?

You couldn't have at least pointed it out in a private email instead of in public forum? It came across not as constructive critisism, but as a personal attack and an attempt to draw attention away from the larger point, in short, it had the appearence of being petty. It wasn't an issue of thick skin, on a personal level, it wasn't such a big deal, it takes a lot more than that to bother me. As to more of your original post. You have no idea how much work I already do in making a difference. I head up a state's rights group in my state and am a member of two other active groups. I communicate regularly with state legislators, in many cases, face to face meetings. I have submitted suggestions for legislation. I attend committee meetings and hearings. I am currently writing a state ballot initiative that would ammend our state constitution and nullify a number of federal actions. I am also already considering a run for state represenative in my district. I do far more than complain, I assure you.

It might as well be annie, this is going to make it virtualy impossible for a challenge now annie.

Piasbird......ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

Until I see a picture of her wearing an adult diaper, bunny ears and hugging a teddy bear, I'll still think of Franken as being the biggest loon!

"He couldn't be worse than Bush" I have to admit, you make a tough argument there...... Yes, they did in fact vote him in, it is their perogative to send who ever the deem to congress, no one is denying that.

Yes, I don't know what they're going to do when they have no one to blame but themselves when things go terribly wrong.

maezee, You pointed out the same thing I did...this goof couldn't even spell Minnesota OR buffoon! You responded in a noninflammatory way (my answer is below, and obviously I'm not heeding your sage advice, but I didn't get it in time!). There seems to be a lot of folks who are extremely angry about the politics in this country, and I'd say it's a safe bet to say that the vast majority didn't even VOTE!

Wow, you two...no, I didn't post this to start a fight but you couldn't wait to start swinging could you? And as if the tone of your posts are not bad enough, you have to attack my typing skills and spelling as well? Why didn't you just call my kids names too while you were at it? "I think it was a decision of the "lesser of two evils" That is nothing more than a BS moral compromise and dereliction of civic reponsability to one's state, there is no such thing as the lesser of two evils, but hey, it's your state, do what you wish in it. Nothing more to say here. Thanks for the responses.
