By voting against making drugs more affordable, one could make the relatively short leap to the conclusion that Norm Coleman “Opposed Prescription Drugs for Seniors.”
Why does our senator of 6 years spend so much time attacking his opponent rather than running on his record? If Coleman won’t talk about what he’s done over the past six years, he doesn’t deserve another six.
His whole post is brief but straight to the point. It’s serious when bloggers that don’t blog about politics primarily start chiming in about how dishonest Coleman’s campaign has become.
Thanks for the mention, Aaron.
I find it disappointing that my senator, Norm Coleman, spends so much time and money obsessing over his opponent rather than discussing what he’s done for us in the past and what he plans to do for us in the future.
The few examples Norm has shown are based on one-off work for individuals such as helping someone adopt a child from Guatemala. Those are great fell-good stories, but I need to hear how the Senator’s voting record and bills have helped Minnesota as a whole.
I like to believe that Norm is a better man than his political campaign’s tactics make him out to be. It shocks me what he’ll put his name on in an attempt to get re-elected.
Norm’s not desperate, he just hasn’t actually done anything for Minnesota in the last 6 years in office. Or as he was quoted as saying “It’s hard out there for a pimp.”
And what has Franken done for Minnesotans, except move to NY and stay away for 30+ years until he thought there were enough suckers (er, Far Leftie Dems) to vote for a foul-mouthed, tax-dodging, unfunny porn writer?
Ed, does it shock you what has acutally come from the mouth, mind, and keyboard of Al Franken? Or are you a hypocrite?
Really?, I agree 100%,
Your comment insults, ridicules, and mocks people who disagree with you. That is the way we Republicans win elections. We Republicans know how to win hearts and minds, as we have soundly proven for 8 years.
Everyone knows anyone who supports Franken is a sucker, Al Franken is a liar because he is angry, and anyone who believes otherwise is too stupid or lazy to realize it.
That is why we Republicans are best suited to reach out and work with people who disagree with us, because we ridicule, insult, and mock them. We are right and you far-leftists (everyone who disagrees with Republican bloggers) are wrong.
You are either for Norm Coleman, or against us, you porn writer supporting tax evading far leftists marxist socialist fascist communist ist-ists!
Great Job Minnesota Republican blogger Really?
“Really?” I don’t find it offensive that people are offended by the direction the country is heading.
For Norm Coleman to suggest that Al Franken doesn’t want old people to have prescription drugs is much more offensive than a comedian that swears in my book.
Voting for a bill that makes it illegal for the government to negotiate cheaper drug prices for seniors is more offensive than a comedian swearing in my book.
Typical Frightened Right Wing Guy, do you think we’re better off as a country than we were eight years ago? We’ve lost thousands of soldiers, spent hundreds of billions on a war that didn’t need to be fought, and are more in debt as a country. How is that a good thing?
Ed Kohler, we are better off now than we were 8 years ago because we are even closer to our sought after permanent Republican majority. Its definately within reach.
1 or 2 more Supremes should do the trick.
That does not mean an end to the permanent election campaign, though. That campaign will be more powerful than ever.
Every Republican pundit, talk show host, and blogger will have an even louder voice dictating the direction of our country. Everyone knows America will be a better place when that happens.
The permanent election campaign will never, never end until everyone who disagrees with Republicans either goes away or shuts up!
This Senate campaign has gone in the toilet ON BOTH SIDES. Now that the national committees are involved in ads, it is particularly pathetic.
I’m loving this campaign season overall, but ready for the particular race to be over with.
I am also sick of senate ads from both sides with 6 long weeks to go. The most annoying is the angry Franken swearing one, it almost brings back my longstanding dislike for Al. But Coleman’s lies/misrepresentations of many issues, including his own voting record disturb me more. I’m just going to keep the remote handy through early Nov. I wish dem candidates in CD2 and CD6 had some money for ads, at least Madia has enough support to air some ads.
DtM You are obviously a blind partisan. At least Franken and the DSCC have stayed issues-focused. Norm is scared shiftless, and his negative ads betray his terrible position in this race. Sucks to be an incumbent under 50% in the polls with greater negative than positive approval rating.
@ Really?
Minnesotans should be offended by the state of the economy, and the situation in Iraq. Thousands of Americans killed, tens of thousands wounded, and a trillion dollars in debt that will be paid by our kids and grand-kids.
Oh, but franken dropped the f-bomb. That’s OBVIOUSLY more important. (BTW, porn involves images…literary work is called erotica)
lojasmo -
I maintain that this campaign has gone in the toilet on both sides. If an objective person were to review all the ads, especially those coming out now with teh RSCC and DSCC, they would easily say the entire race has taken a big step downward. Even when it is about issue, it has been spin-doctored so badly that it hardly gives the voter any reliable info to based a decision on.
We agree on one thing, though. This IS about the trillions that our kids and grandkids will have to pay someday. And the debt being accumulated by our grandkids is WAY bigger than the issue of Iraq. It is about commitments our next Senator will make on their behalf. We agree on that being a major issue.
Really? How long as Al Franken served in the US Senate? An incumbent should expect to have his record scrutinized.
What has truly gone in the toilet is the Republican Party. What an incredible bunch of incompetents they are! Norm can’t run on his record, because his record is that of the GOP, and they have ran our country into the toilet. Our election process too. I find their inability to govern or even tell the truth to be the most disgusting and offensive, and Normie’s a posterchild for this type of government.
I don’t think Coleman is the desperate one. Did you catch Al Franken’s “satire” on SNL tonight? What’s that saying about “A
WeaselLeopard Can’t Change His Spots”? This fits in so perfectly with the ads Coleman has been running about angry Al’s out-of-control outbursts. Stuart Smalley - the gift that keeps on giving!It certainly looks like Franken has been reading the tea leaves. He’s decided not to quit his day job so he can make a fast exit to Hollywood when Coleman wins the election.
Any bets on whether Franken will report the extra income from this SNL hit piece to the IRS and state authorities?
jbenson2, I agree 100%,
Keep up the great work repeating the things these Liberals have heard over and over and over and over and over again. You’re winning hearts and minds, that’s for sure.
There are some people who say they might be stunned to discover you are a grown man. They are just people who disagree with you on issues, and they lie and are stupid, so I wouldn’t worry about them.
jbenson2, don’t stop repeating. Keep commenting like you are saying these truths for the first time. That is the only way we Minnesota Republican bloggers can win elections.
Hatred of our fellow Americans who disagree with us is our only hope. We must continue to assume they are idiots, and treat them like they deserve nothing but ridicule.
Divide and conquer America. The American people will all celebrate our victory….well the only AMericans that matter will.
