New Low For Al Franken Campaign... Recount: The Movie

>In case anyone is unclear, these people
>are referring to absentee ballots that
>were legally and duly rejected on grounds
>established by the State of Minnesota.

Surprise, surprise, Caleb is the one who's being "unclear," if not deliberately obfuscatory. Two of the ballots in question were evidently rejected on grounds *not* established by the State of Minnesota, and thus were *not* "legally and duly rejected." The rest were supposedly rejected for lack of registration, but the voters in question display their registrations in the video, so the rejections, even though "on grounds established by the State of Minnesota," were evidently in error.

Caleb, what do you have against governments correcting their errors? Or citizens asking their government to do so? If your state charged you too much in taxes, and said they were doing were doing it "legally and duly," "on grounds established by the State," would you want them to keep the money?

Alternatively, what do you have against counting votes that were "legally and duly" cast, according to procedures "established by the State of Minnesota"?

Al Franken Recount: The Movie. A straight-to-video release, I'm sure!

the cripplingly liberal?

Boy, I think that meadow muffin diet done give ya the mad cow..

Since like most baby geese and many closed headwound victims right wing snotlings of your vintage appear to wake up in a brand new world every day, here's a little package of tidbits to help you get oriented whenever you finally come to each day.

Try taping it to your morning six pack of white man's marijuana so you won't miss it once the Blue kicks in:

Day in the Life of Joe Middle-Class Republican

****************

Joe gets up at 6:00am to prepare his morning coffee. He fills his pot full of good
clean drinking water because some liberal fought for minimum water quality standards.
He takes his daily medication with his first swallow of coffee. His medications are safe
to take because some liberal fought to insure their safety and work as advertised.
All but $10.00 of his medications are paid for by his employers medical plan because
some liberal union workers fought the ir employers for paid medical insurance, now Joe
gets it too. He prepares his morning breakfast, bacon and eggs this day. Joe’s bacon is
safe to eat because some liberal fought for laws to regulate the meat packing
industry.
Joe takes his morning shower reaching for his shampoo; His bottle is properly labeled
with every ingredient and the amount of its contents because some liberal fought for his
right to know what he was putting on his body and how much it contained. Joe dresses,
walks outside and takes a deep breath. The air he breathes is clean because some tree
hugging liberal fought for laws to stop industries from polluting our air. He walks to the
subway station for his government subsidized ride to work; it saves him considerable
money in parking and transportation fees. You see, some liberal fought for affordable
public transportation, which gives everyone the opportunity to be a contributor.
Joe begins his work day; he has a good job with excellent pay, medicals benefits,
retirement, paid holidays and vacation because some liberal union members fought and
died for these working standards. Joe’s employer pays these standards because Joe’s
employer doesn’t want his employees to call the union. If Joe is hurt on the job or
becomes unemployed he’ll get a worker compensation or unemployment check
because some liberal didn’t think he should loose his home because of his temporary
misfortune.
Its noon time, Joe needs to make a Bank Deposit so he can pay some bills. Joe’s deposit
is federally insured by the FSLIC because some liberal wanted to protect Joe’s
money from unscrupulous bankers who ruined the banking system before the
depression.
Joe has to pay his Fannie Mae underwritten Mortgage and his below market federal
student loan because some stupid liberal decided that Joe and the government
would be better off if he was educated and earned more money over his life-time.
Joe is home from work, he plans to visit his father this evening at his farm home in the
country. He gets in his car for the drive to dads; his car is among the safest in the world
because some liberal fought for car safety standards. He arrives at his boyhood home. He
was the third generation to live in the house financed by Farmers Home Administration
because bankers didn’t want to make rural loans. The house didn’t have electric until
some big government liberal stuck his nose where it didn’t belong and demanded
rural electrification. (Those rural Republican’s would still be sitting in the dark)
He is happy to see his dad who is now retired. His dad lives on Social Security and his
union pension because some liberal made sure he could take care of himself so Joe
wouldn’t have to. After his visit with dad he gets back in his car for the ride home.
He turns on a radio talk show, the host’s keeps saying that liberals are bad and
conservatives are good. (He doesn’t tell Joe that his beloved Republicans have fought
against every protection and benefit Joe enjoys throughout his day) Joe agrees, “We
don’t need those big government liberals ruining our lives; after all, I’m a self made man
who believes everyone should take care of themselves, just like I have”.

That's cute clif. Like the book what's the matter with Kansas you attempt to argue virtue by handout. All these government boons you brag about indicate your burning desire for a government that handles you with care, providing for all your needs and none of your wants, from cradle to grave. As utterly typical as it is uncompelling. Nice try.
----------------------------------------------------------
So Caleb, why not tell us of your perfect utopia? It seems you don't 'need' clean air, clean water, affordable and safe health care, affordable housing, or a living wage. I am opened to the world where we don't 'need that', just show me the blueprints.

Caleb- Through your name calling your bias is showing. After Florida in 2000 and Ohio in 2004 I am open to the republicans trying to steal this election. Let the boards and courts sort out whether mistakes were made and declare a true winner. Your commentary is neither accurate nor helpful.

Also Caleb, your response to Cliff tells me one thing. You are the Man of the century. . . The 19th Century. Modern society is interconnected. Globally interconnected. A house is foreclosed in Las Vegas causing a detroit auto worker to lose his/her job. To think that we are cowboys on the range affected by only those around us is not in keeping with modern society.

Boons and handouts indeed. My guess is that you are one of those that would be the first to complain or sue if you were denied the benefits of modern society. Thank a liberal each time you eat a piece of bread that doesn't have sawdust in it. Thank a liberal each time you drink clean water. Thank a liberal for your government guaranteed student or home loan. What can we thank conservatives for? Nothing comes to mind.

Caleb,

You are obviously a Rush Limbaugh "ditto head" dimwit.
You Republican SCUM are FINISHED! You are all going to have to figure out how to WORK and make an honest living instead of stealing, torturing, and lying constantly to the American People. You make me want to vomit.

Caleb,
Still waiting on those blueprints.

Caleb,

I'm waiting for your reply...wait! I think your hero Rush is on the radio now. Do you have a shrine to him in your house along with your drugs? Do you actually have a job of some kind, or do you just spend all your time writing nitwit neo-nazi crap and posting it.

That sort of reference gives me a good idea of what experience you have had and have not had. You should actually read that post, Caleb, but more on that below.

you're a product of the same government, caleb. Your denial of that constant these past 200 plus years is why I said you wake up in a new world every day.

May I assume you cuss the farmer with your mouth full too?

Since your Jesus Christ argues 'virtue by handout' and your Preamble specifically mentions promotion of the general welfare, establishing domestic tranquility and securing the blessings of liberty to posterity, I regard it as a duty of citizenship in light of Public Policy.

But Mussolini and Gentile are on your side. Look what THEY say about liberalism:

" Fascism is definitely and absolutely opposed to the doctrines of liberalism, both in the political and the economic sphere. The importance of liberalism in the XIXth century should not be exaggerated for present day polemical purposes, nor should we make of one of the many doctrines which flourished in that century a religion for mankind for the present and for all time to come."

Not knowing that, and this delusion that first you don't owe your very existence to liberalism and second, that the type of government you seem to favor is a lot more Italian than anything American is what makes your column seem superficial.

Statesmanship is an adult undertaking, caleb. Politics can be as low as you want to go, but you color yourself with your columns, not your enemies. This first because your 'enemies' are American Patriots, and second because so far you lack depth, or as I said it, you wake up in a new world every day.

You need to reflect on that if you intend on making this your business. You ought not to settle for sucking at it and so far, you're extremely superficial. If you get to be my age, you may regret the missed opportunity. Ankle biting will probably get pretty old.

Again, you ought to actually read that post instead of going into automatic defense mode. It makes sense, and your continued attempt to portray complex adult events in crayola primaries does not.

Lighten up, folks. Let's not forget that, first and foremost, Al Franken is a comedian. It's easy enough to figure out what happened here. Al wrote the script for a SNL skit. One of his staff thought it was serious and taped it for play as a political ad. No need for people to get snarky. Everything will work out. After all, Obama will be in the White House, no matter what. "God's in his heaven, all's right with the world". I'm sure Franken will find some sort of employment after he loses this election.

Caleb

Understandably, I support your position. It's interesting to see the libs rally to the cause of Al Franken. Not with any intellectual honesty, but because a Franken win would represent a larger Republican defeat in the 2008 election. No substance, no respect for the rule of law, simply a whine with wine and brie party. And, of course, they would then be encouraged to look for other “irregularities” in Georgia. After all, the magic #60 is, and always was, the end game.

These are the same folks who would still be supporting the 2000 election “hanging chad” buffoonery, had not the US Supreme Court put an end to it. Al Gore, and his shadow government, would be putting the finishing touches on their gala event to ceremoniously turn over the “legitimate” presidency to Barack Obama, on January 20, 2009.

We’ve seen it all before. It’s only an honest outcome when their side succeeds. Otherwise, there was obviously some Republican chicanery. Funny, these guardians of the Constitution don’t support the rule of law for the California Prop. 8 vote. Because, in that instance, “bigotry” caused good people to go bad.

Answer them, if you must. But, at the end of the day, you will only satisfy them when you agree with them.

WELL I GUESS AL FRANKEN COULD HAVE TAKEN A PAGE OUT OF THE REPUBLICAN PLAYBOOK AND BUSSED IN GANGS OF THUGS TO INTIMIDATE THE ELECTION BOARD ALA BUSH 2000..

Gosh John Gray, its a good thing we have government or you wouldn't be able to do make it. The governent has to wake you up, give you drugs, give you a government ride to your government job, tell you when you can go home, where you can live, how much you can earn, what and how much you can eat, what you can keep, how old you can be, when you can retire, what you can own, what you can leave to your children and finally they will even help you when you die. Thanks Mr. Liberal for all of the freedoms we've lost, couldn't have done it without you.

Al Franken is a comedian

and first and foremost ronald reagan was a sidekick for a chimp in a B movie. He was great as the host of death valley days but he sucked at politics. He practically destroyed the nation.

sayyy, are you Sun Myung Moon? If not, you sure missed a good chance!

I can't believe you people would accept someone so disgusting, foolish and arrogant as Al Franken just because he's a democrat. Al Franken is a blight on the democratic name, he's a buffoon an enigma. Al Franken doesn't have a brain in his little head, he's rabid, chances of having any type of non-partisanship with Franken in the Senate is null and void. Franken is just the type of person we don't need in Washington, rich, arrogant and uncompromising. Why would any party want this fool represent them? Come on what's happened to the once proud Democratic Party?

Hey;

Where was your outrage at the lowest low of them all when Bush was selected in 2000 by the Supremes. To refer to Al's ad as a low is actually rather quaint. The implication strikes me as the lunatic ravings of a Limbo druggie mind set....Enjoy your stay at the farm.
