The question is where does satire belong in the world of advancing political thought? It has a place, but it doesn’t offer solutions. For someone to be offering ideas and rationale for a certain viewpoint only to have someone else come in and take an unproductive satirical view of the issue doesn’t get us any further. It happens on these boards, and it has happened with Franken.

The easy part is pointing out what is wrong with your adversaries’ viewpoints. The hard part is offering up a better alternative of your own.

I saw Ave Q, a musical and there is a song called, Everyone is a Little Bit Racist. It completely mocked our culture and was a huge satire of our opinions towards race and it is incredibly offensive but towards the end, the lyrics go, if we all could just admit, that we are racist a little bit, and everyone stop being so pc, maybe we could live in harmony. Sometimes the message isnt as blatant as that but usually, within satire, if you dont just take it a face value you can gain some insight. Unfortunately, Republicans appear unable to do that with Franken because they’d rather just see dick jokes instead of thought and intelligence. (Although, we shouldnt say all of Franken’s stuff is that way)

These moonbats that we take down are such idiots, they would consider running Brian Herron, whom everyone knows is guilty of taking bribes. These dummocrats WOULD pick someone JUST LIKE THEM.

It’s a good thing the Republican party has not only shown the American people what honest government looks like, they’ve shown America what it is like to share success amongst it’s people. America’s success and prosperity has been permanently branded with the Republican seal.

Who would be stupid enough to vote against that?

Great Job, Swiftee!!

Keep taking down moonbats so very very well!

I’m guessing the Democrat party is going to have to dig pretty deep into the barrel to outdo Al Franken.

Maybe Brian Herron will be available by then.

Pawlenty will not be McCain’s Veep candidate (McCain will lose, regardless), and will not run for re-election — he will maintain his

The most meaningful question will be — which young, charismatic Minnesotan will get the national push in 2012?

Kelliher is a better candidate then Franken. Fact.

Don’t know why that would be the case - they are even today. Bush will be less of an issue because he isn’t running. Add to that the fact that Franken has plenty of negatives (and the potential for creating more) and it’s shaping up to be a very close race either way.

But then again, the rock in my back yard has a better chance of winning then Franken.
