[...] Sen. Jim DeMint: On what basis does the [Obama] Administration demand [ousted Honduran President] Zelaya’s reinstatement? His removal from office was no more a coup than was Gerald Ford’s ascendence to the Oval Office or our newest colleague Al Franken’s election to the Senate. [...]

Thanks, Senator – I forgot all about the troops who seized Norm Coleman by force and kicked him out of the country to install Al Franken.

This comment comes from the guy who supported Mark Sanford for Governor because he was the “moral” candidate….

Clearly, Sen. DeMint has no idea what the word ‘coup’ means. He also has no idea whatsoever as to the election laws of Minnesota. I would say that Sen. DeMint should probably go back to High School and finish up the World History and Civics classes he obviously skipped out on.

When talking of deficits why compare parties? And I would like to see what kind of jobs are available in Texas. If you call what happened in Honduras an example of democracy then either I or you have a warped sense of what democracy is.

By the way Amuesinc, if you like Republican states, you can move to Texas where they have more employment growth than other states. Otherwise, you might like California or New York with their billion dollar deficits. Democrats do have a pretty good track record with deficits even on the $1.8 trillion national level.

I suppose if carrying out a Supreme Court decision is a coup, then Honduras was a coup…

Another person that knows nothing about Minnesota or how we run our state yet wants us to become a cold South Carolina. I wish the Minnesota Republicans could get a taste of what life is like in Republican run states with their bad education system, no public services, toll roads and a state government that looks out only for big business.

Just one more piece of the “Republicans are Douche-Bags” puzzle…

If you can’t figure out what DeMint is saying it’s not worth my time explaining it to you.

2+2=4

Can you figure that out?
