		<description>Uh, Luis... please check your facts. The Supreme Court shut down the election, Gore did not cede. And many have believed that Gore acted extremely immature and lacked professionalism during the first few months of President Bush&#039;s Presidency making comments such as the election was stolen etc. Here&#039;s a quote from Yahoo regarding Justice Souters retirement: Souter became a reliable liberal vote on the court and was one of the four dissenters in the 2000 decision in Bush v. Gore that sealed the presidential election for George W. Bush. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_scotus_souter_retiring</description>

		<description>Hi Sergio,
Thanks for enforcig my point above about respectful dialogue by name calling. Look in the mirror Sergio... You are the face of your party. Full of hate filled rhetoric buoyed by false accusations rather than facts.
Have a great weekend Sergio. Maybe go out to a nice cafe&#039;, have a latte or something, take in some deep breaths, look up in the sky and thank the Lord that you&#039;re sitting there free, rather in some despotic hellhole.</description>

		<description>&quot;As for the article above, Coleman has the right to appeal. As I’ve mentioned in here before, had the tables been turned and Franken was in Colemans spot, Liberals would be imploring him to take it to the S.C. as did Mr. Gore in 2000.&quot;

Actually, it was Bush who took it to the SC in 2000 to stop the Florida recount.
At the time, McConnell had this comment about Gore: 

(...) There are a number of Democrats who are privately very concerned that this is continuing now well into a month. Al Gore, at this rate, is going to become -- will be remembered as the Tonya Harding of American presidential history, unwilling to accept the results after we&#039;ve had a count, a recount, and a selected hand recount in overwhelmingly Democratic areas.
The American people are saying through the surveys: It&#039;s time to bring it to a conclusion.&quot;

I guess that makes Coleman the Tonya Harding of the Senate History.</description>

		<description>You know Bryce, you give me reason to read. You are a standout amongst your peers. I&#039;m Conservative and I can honestly say that I hardly talk to Liberals at all because of people like Karen. The blind hatred and animosity that I experience from people such as her is simply put, pathetic. It&#039;s ok to disagree, but be civil. So thank you very much for your comments. It shows me there is some civility left in our country. BTW, I&#039;d like to invite you to check out http://talkspot.ktlkfm.com/ It&#039;s 100.3&#039;s discussion board, so it&#039;s about 60/30/10 repub/demo/ind but I think most would value you&#039;re opinion there. Look, I&#039;m in here aren&#039;t I!
As for the article above, Coleman has the right to appeal. As I&#039;ve mentioned in here before, had the tables been turned and Franken was in Colemans spot, Liberals would be imploring him to take it to the S.C. as did Mr. Gore in 2000.
As for the thoughts part of the article, I&#039;d like to ad my 2 cents.

Quote &quot;Is he going to be doing more events? I guess so. Sure.&quot;  
OK, see you at the State Cap Sat May 2nd 11am for the annual Tax Cut Rally then. www.TaxCutRally.com

Quote: &quot;His thoughts on the “senator-elect” title with which he was introduced?
I suspect that if people want to introduce me that way, they will. I’m not going to stop them.&quot;
Uh, cute, but untrue. You are not officially &quot;elected&quot; yet. Had Mr. Franken be more concerned about the facts, he would correct these people using the misnomer of &quot;senator-elect&quot;. 

Quote: &quot;Going to Washington, D.C., anytime soon? We don’t have any immediate plans. We were thinking of going next week but I think there’s going to be some real heavy lifting by the Senate so it might not be the best time. But we’ll go soon.&quot;
To do what? Sightsee?

Have a great day everyone!</description>

		<description>Karen,

These court processes do not cost the state any money besides the salaries of the judges. All of the court fees must be paid by Norm and his friends. Also, if you would like to be taken seriously, please refrain from typing things in capital letters if they are not acronyms. Proper formatting and grammar, and spelling would also be appreciated.

Being a liberal myself, I think it&#039;s safe to say that you give liberals a bad name.

Thanks for your time and ill thought-out, rude opinions.

		<description>SUPREMES: do your jobs! THROW THE BUMB(s) out &amp; MAKE EM PAY every cent they COST THIS STATE!

Why is this integrity-challenged knee jerk GOP jerk still drawing Minnesota air? My Good heavens (LAND SAKES! as my dear departed mother used to say)...

WHY DOESN&#039;T OUR revered State Supreme&#039;s DEMAND that COLEMAN &amp; HIS GOP CABAL pay in ADVANCE before his case is EVER HEARD for everything he&#039;s cost us taxpayers with all his shenanigans KEEPING our God=fearing duly elected SENATOR from being seated AND REPRESENTING We the People who every elected servant is SUPPOSED TO BE serving)?&quot;

THE SHAM that Coleman cares about all 4000 votes that were rejected FOR improper procedures ... DIED A SLOW death long ago. START SANCTIONING THIS self-AND GOP-serving FLUNKY == CONFIRM our duly elected SENATOR -- and LET&#039;S BE DONE with this.

Coleman could care LESS about this State --he&#039;s the GOP lap dog --

LET&#039;S SEND them a message that PEOPLE OF MINNESOTA aren&#039;t cow-towing OR STUPID hicks ... WE CAN INSURE we never vote REPUBLICAN again.(THAT they will take seriously)</description>
