		<description>stand by my comments

So your implying a Democratic party assault on liberty and capitalism?  Your implying Obama will attack the constitution?  Those are the comments your standing by?  Your use of &quot;Obamanation&quot; paints you in a very bad light.  You might want to retract that one.  Also, you might want to provide some evidence, beyond your toolishness, for the whole &quot;attack on liberty and capitalism&quot; thing.  On second thought, don&#039;t bother.  Illogical and simplistic thinking has been the core of the fascist wing of the GOP for 30 years and finally, it&#039;s been shown to be wrong.</description>

		<description>I believe Obama is thoughtful and intelligent
I believe Franken is a great humorist and also a smart man
I think El Tinklenberg has had an outstanding career of public service and is a good man
I believe Ashwin Madia should be respected for his service to our country and I admire his ambition

I&#039;m not saying I hate these people -- I have no reason to.  I&#039;m sure they are all fine men.  I just strongly disagree with their view as the role of government in our lives.  

And I stand by my comments on Franken being unable to be a good, consistent voice who can work across the aisle.  When you have made your living (and a good one) writing books that generalize and attack the people you&#039;ll be working with in DC, how effective are you really going to be?

Again, I don&#039;t hate Al Franken.  Why would I?  Seems like a nice guy 1-on-1.  I just don&#039;t think he can do the job of a Senator well.</description>

		<description>The allegations come from a lifelong Republican from Houston - Paul McKim, so whines of &quot;11th hour&quot; fall flat. In a culture of self-serving politicians, Norm manages to stand out as especially lacking in integrity. This is the story of the campaign and so far all local media is burying it. Truth will out, whether it&#039;s before or after the election. Bye Norm!</description>

		<description>Either way, it doesn’t look pretty for Liberty and capitalism.

5 days until Obamanation of the constitution.

DtM, I know it&#039;s getting tough for the fascist wing of the GOP, but you really should try and review your posts before hitting the &quot;Submit&quot; button.  Equating the Democratic party with a notion that they will attack liberty and capitalism is as old and stale a tactic as they get.  I won&#039;t ask you to try and defend this ridiculousness because I&#039;m not really interested in the twisted and convoluted logic that it would take.  Also, using the phrase, &quot;Obamanation&quot;, reveals in you a complete disregard for the truth.  That phrase, is of course, from the hit piece by the douche bag Corsi.  And the douche bag label isn&#039;t just my opinion, he is considered a douche bag by nearly the entire planet.  His douche baggery has reached epic proportions but that&#039;s another post.  If you &quot;google&quot; Obamanation, you get hits to the most vile, hate spewing, white supremacy sites on the web.  Nice DtM, good references for knowing what kind of human being you are.   It&#039;s over for your philosophy.  History will regard the last 30 years in the US as our experiment with fascism.  Started by Reagan, we embarked on a course that led to our near collapse.  Reagan is dead and his ideas are thankfully dead as well.  As a good friend of mine often hollers at his ankle biting little mutt, &quot;Shut up and go lay down by your dish.&quot;</description>

		<description>&quot;You got money you can buy New York Norm like a cheap political whore&quot;.
I think that&#039;s over the line.
$100,000 is a lot of money.</description>

		<description>&quot;Franken is to liberals what Bachmann is to conservatives.&quot;

I don&#039;t recall Franken calling for an investigation of Congresspeople to see who is American or not. Please find me a political statement the man has made that even approximates that.

But, of course, you&#039;re not actually trying to make a case, are you? You&#039;re just playing a game of political equivalence. If one conservative is a shrill lunatic, then one liberal must be as well.

Well, go ahead. Prove your point. Back it up.</description>

		<description>It amazes me how Republicans gin up these outrageous bullshit caricatures of people and then expect voters to believe them. &quot;Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes&quot; they spout as Obama shows himself to be thoughtful and intelligent. Al Franken is calm family man with an interest in representing the vast majority of Minnesotans with dignity and humor. If we do not send him to the Senate we will be missing out on great potential... much like Wellstone.

You have a disreputable opportunist who never met a government paycheck he didn&#039;t take in Norm Coleman and all these Republicans acting like his greed was a patriotic thing. The disgusting carpetbagger represents no one but himself and never has since his days dealing drugs at Hofstra University.

You got money you can buy New York Norm like a cheap political whore. He has proven that over and over again in his career. Norm Coleman is the worst kind of politician, one that won&#039;t even stay bought as you can see from his history. What values and precepts does he represent? He represents nothing but a handout and a glad hand for the highest bidder... today. Next week he needs more money and will follow any master. He is a great soulful symbol of what is wrong with the Republican party, just like Larry Craig and George Bush.

A vote for Norm Coleman proves the citizen was either drunk or duped or both.</description>
