You and McGoo need to practice your verb tenses.

The Iraq troop level has NOT fallen below pre surge levels, as claimed by McCain.

Norm's seat is up in NOVEMBER.  That is in the FUTURE.</description>

		<description>PLEASE!  PLEASE!

PLEASE do NOT scrutinize NORMY!!!!!!!

He's not a strong boy. He could crumble.
He doesn't have a firm constitution. PLEASE don't pick on poor Normy.
Isn't it enough that his hero, George will soon be gone???

Normy's been trotting along with what has left us in a fiscal crunch,
what threatens the lifestyle in this state. NOW you want him to be honest in his positions too?

He's NOT an independent thinker.
He'll give you change - to more of the SAME.</description>

and some people don't understand the role it has.

The right wing trolls can have all the fake outrage they want here.
Doesn't make them smart.</description>

		<description>Sean2, I agree 100%,

There is no such thing as the United Nations. There is only the international community, which can only be led by the only remaining superpower, which is the United States.

Why don't these moonbats understand that? Norm Coleman certainly does.

The Republicans know there is no fixing or reaching out to the UN. Everyone knows the only way to deal with the U.N. is to not discuss anything with them.

They will come to us when it is in their best interests, I'm sure, but everything should be on the table when they do.

Great Job!</description>

		<description>"Coleman’s peace through strength philosophy includes not utilizing the UN or diplomacy and instead is based on continuation of sanctions which have proven unsuccessful."

Umm, you're kidding right? Where is the winning track record of the UN and diplomacy? You mean Iran's nulear proliferation? Or North Korea's nulear enrichment, boto of which came due to incredibly weak UN resolutions and pointless negotiations between the US and rogue nations who have no intent on yielding to the US.

Sanctions may not have proved phenomonally successful. But the UN as a possible alternative? A joke, I presume?</description>

		<description>Good start, but you missed a few.

#1. Coleman announced Mission Accomplished concerning the Farm Bill.  I am not sure which version of MA this is since he has proclaimed this so often.  In Coleman's world, legislation is MA when he approves it ... unfortunately, Bush has vetoed it.  At least he acknowledged that the &lt;i&gt;Conquering Childhood Cancer Bill&lt;/i&gt; “has a long way to go to become law.”  BTW, this stunt of bringing a six year boy fighting cancer up on stage was the ultimate in political theater.

#2. In Coleman's “eight-point action plan” is to win the global economic competition.  Yet, he has continued to fail in opening markets for Minnesotans to Cuba as he advocated in 2002.

#3. Coleman's peace through strength philosophy includes not utilizing the UN or diplomacy and instead is based on continuation of sanctions which have proven unsuccessful.

#4. Coleman praised McCain for his fight against Washington's wasteful spending but then proceeded to stress the number of Minnesota projects that he has gotten funding.

#5. Coleman may desire to "End our addiction to foreign oil" but his endorsement of the Bush Tax Cuts has lead to an increase in the national debt and a weakened USDollar ... making foreign nations demanding more for a barrel of oil.  Oh and by the way, isn't Canada still our leading supplier of foreign oil? And, didn't Reagan in the '80s want to prop up Saudi Arabia's economy by continuing to import oil driving the price of a barrel below the $20 rate that made US drilling economically nonviable?

#6.  In all of Coleman's accomplishments, is it fair to ask, would Paul Wellstone (or Fritz Mondale) been able to accomplish the same thing?  Would Wellstone work to continue Guatemala adoptions and to continue to allow Minnesota fishermen to get all the minnows they want ... I think so.

All that said, let's acknowledge one thing that Coleman said that was accurate ... Hubert Humphrey was a Great Minnesotan ... funny how he praised HHH but GWB didn't get the same attention.</description>

		<description>I agree 100% Sean2,

Whatever Coleman did or did not do while serving the people of Minnesota has absolutely nothing to do with Al Franken, so it doesn't matter to anyone.

Eveyone knows all that matters in this campaign is what Al Franken did. The impeccable, bold, strong, steady Bush-era policies endorsed by Norm Coleman have made America a better place for those of us who matter, namely Republicans and their supporters.

Why don't these moonbats understand?

Great Job as usual, Sean2.</description>
