I want to know how all these Republican elected officials can be so confident in the existence of voter fraud when five Minnesota Supreme Court Justices (Republican appointees included) and former Senator Coleman’s own election attorney (also a Republican) so clearly state that there was no fraud involved. Only two options seem plausible. Either these elected officials are simply stupid whiners (in most cases, this is not likely), or they are trying to rile up an uninformed and ignorant donor base in an attempt to fill their re-election war chests. Either way I am tired of the whole thing and I think the MN GOP and Minnesota as a whole would be better served looking towards 2010 as opposed to crying over 2008.

I wondered why an openly gay man could run as a Republican. Now I get it. He has a bad case of conservative paranoia.

And Normie’s lawyers are ON THE RECORD that there was no fraud. They stated this publicly. There was no fraud. But don’t let that stop you…………………………

Oh, and by the way, in order for Norm Coleman to “have a case” the rulings would have had to given something (like a dissenting opinion!) to hang the hat on. But at every stage of the process, Coleman got nothin’–zip, zed, badaboom nothin’. Not one judge threw as much as a crumb Coleman’s way. Now, I had no problem with Coleman pursuing the recount appeal, but think the system for judicial appeals of the recount results worked far better than the absentee ballot voting process does. Now the time has come to fix the latter, and move on.

Anyone who still believes there was fraud in this election after eight independent judges ruled UNANIMOUSLY there wasn’t is not a thinking human being but a party ideologue robot.

“I FEEL there was some fraud going on” (emphasis mine).

Well Mr. Koering, I guess if you FEEL it (as opposed to, say, citing specific evidence) then you are a true Republican. Facts are to Republicans as sunlight is to vampires, they just can’t be around it.

And Sarah Janacek tried to stick a line in there about fraud, too. Read: http://tinyurl.com/m36qvm (PIM)

Don’t you think we’d have heard about fraud in the case? Do you mean to tell me the Republican lawyers didn’t expose fraud if it was there? C’mon. “Uncle” already.
