Coleman on recount: ‘I’ve done everything I can do … Life goes on’

Just let the liberals have their power. They need it so badly. Let them count all the ballots they need to get their liberal from New York to go to Washington via Minnesota canvassing board. Liberals are so thirsty for power. Let them have it. They will count and cry until they are given their power. And CNN and the AP and the Star Trib are NOT going to take anything less than Franken. It simply will not be allowed.

Is that all that’s left from the right-wing noise machine? It’s gone from 4 declarations of victory by Coleman to “let the babies have their bottle”?

I guess I’ll take it. At least they’ve gone from trying to undermine our electoral process to just being ordinary sore losers.

Stolen election! Stolen election! Stuart Smalley, ha ha ha! Franken wasn’t funny on SNL! Franken asked for the recount because he was a sore loser! Ballots found in the trunk of a car! Somalis!!!!!!!! People voting twice with “duplicate ballots”! ACORN! Franken wants to count invalid absentee ballots! Minnesota sucks! Worse than Chicago! Communists!

There seems to be a real tug of war going on with our electoral process.

It should be more then make every vote count. Instead it should be make every legitimate i.e. legal vote count. More then that the counting should be done fairly, and it is easy enough to see that it isn’t. The ballots as well as the way the board has decided are on the web. If the process isn’t done fairly it undermines the electoral process as much as not counting legitimate votes.

The behavior of the Democrats, in this specific case, has been reprehensible. Votes for Franken or Coleman should be decided the same. The Democrat’s are undermining the vote in this case.

Just let the conservatives have their power. They need it so badly. Let them count all the ballots they need to get their conservative from New York to go to Washington via Minnesota canvassing board. Conservatives are so thirsty for power. Let them have it. They will count and cry until they are given their power. And Fox and the PiPress and the Star Trib are NOT going to take anything less than Coleman. It simply will not be allowed.

Too easy.

wm brown, Everything you say is exactly…wrong. The problem with your argument is that people around the world were able to witness the process and see that it was done fairly. Thanks for playing though.

Good for Minnesota

Franken will make a great Senator.

And for the “know nothing’s” his Minnesota connection is a lot stronger than Coleman’s…He grew up in Minnesota….Coleman after college blew in from Brooklyn to intern at the Attorneys Office and never went home.

The big pity is that what has happened in Minnesota did not happen in 2000 (all the votes should have been counted) Bush would not have won, and how much better off would be all today…we might have missed all the mismanagement, the hypocrisy and the lies.

I am a Republican in the fiscal conservative, social progressive tradition of Barry Goldwater and William Buckley. Maybe now we can re-take our party and get rid of the shallow liars that hijacked it.

Congratulations to Al Franken no hard feelings here, and I think all thinking Republicans will feel as I do.

Thanks for your comments, Michael.

I have family members who are Republicans. I think they are slowly coming to the realization that Bush and his enablers have done some serious damage to our country. You are correct that a faction of the GOP have hijacked the Republican party. Bush is just a figure-head. They have used lies, character smears, and subterfuge to push their agenda. The mass media have covered their movements and swayed public opinion. They’ve used propaganda and every means possible to advance their plans. Now we see the fruits of their work.

There is much bitterness between the parties. Many still believe the lies (especially those whose sole means of ‘news’ is FOX and Rush/Hannity). I hope we can come together as a nation to solve our problems. There is so much greed and money on all sides of the equation that needs a serious push back. The goal is to elect people who will listen and do the right thing. I do believe Al Franken is one who will listen. And, I believe he will call a spade a spade, too. (I know some people cringed when he called Norm out on his “Sugar Daddy” but I loved it.)

All the best!

Uhhh, hey anonymous….the Star Trib will have nothing less than Franken? Then why did they endorse Coleman??

jmy9595, we really can’t ask that someone as obviously ignorant as the first anonymous to actually pay attention to what is going on in politics.

this idiot is a blind, republican shill…politics is like a football game to him/her. Liberals/Democrats=bad…no matter what. Absolute thinking of the simple minded.

Time to replace that head of elections of Minneapolis, the one that repeatedly stopped students
from voting in Dinkytown in 2006 and 2008 and claimed that the lost 133 votes from Dinkytown
were double counts (they were not, she later changed that story.) She is blocking the
implementation of voting reform passed by initiative in Mpls. She is a stumbling block to
voter participation in Minneapolis. Her name is Cindy Reichert. Time to replace this person.

Very pleased with the recounts so far. To tell you the truth I actually doubted that the recount would even sway this way. This just goes to show the difference between a recount in Minnesota versus a recount in Florida.
