Al Franken Successful At Stealing Election in Minnesota

2 Comments

Why did Coleman lose ?

Why is the focus on Franken winning instead of why did Coleman lose ?

Why is no one asking why did 63,209 McCain supporters decide that they did not want Coleman to have a second term ? Apparently many outside of Minnesota did not know that Coleman voted for TARP which sealed his fate with many fiscal conservatives ... after supporting SCHIP, immigration, and climate change legislation ... plus opposing drilling in ANWR.

There was an acknowledgment by some MN-GOP conservatives that Franken would be no worse than RINO Coleman.

Franken was a flawed candidate, but Coleman lost because he did not hold McCain voters.

BTW, Coleman's attorneys have stated that there was no fraud. Virtually all the rulings from the State Canvassing Board, Election Contest Court and MN Supreme Court was unanimous. Knowledgeable people who are familiar with what happened ... such as Vin Weber ... are on the record stating this was not a stolen election.

You're right,

"He is a small, unfunny fool."

But he won because Coleman didn't stand for conservative principles, and the third party came in and took votes from his right. (Mac has great points. Of course, it isn't because McCain was so great, he didn't win Minnesota either.)

And then, there is the whole issue of how those who handle the ballots kept finding more "Unfunny Franken" ballots every time they recounted. When it is a close race, the integrity (or lack thereof) of the ballot counters determine the result.

The moral crisis in our nation is growing to epidemic proportions.
