Al Franken decalred Winner, page 3

Well I was generalizing I suppose, I can not presume to speak for all farmers or how they voted or why. I do know that while I was there in Minnesota the Coleman ads against Fanken seemed to be aimed at the farmers, whom I believe are likely to vote DFL if not given a reason not to. And I believe Coleman was targeting them, and others like Christians, with his ad campaign about Al's old jokes. I hope I said I thought the ads were ridiculous, using a comedians jokes against him is like using a fumble against an ex football player or something aint it???

Anyways no hard feelings, but I am a Minnesotan and of that I aint sure how to feel! LOL

Once again we hear that people must be against someone you like just because they are ignorant. Well .. at least in this case you didn't trot out the 'racist' rhetoric.

Just like BH ... we all must be idiots or ignorant, or simply look at what party he is and decide that way. How sad.. I thought you were smarter than that. Grow up indeed.

Al Franken Issues
More Al Franken Issues

- He refuses to take a stand on abortion. - an issue that's important to me.

- He refuses to take a stand on gun control - an issue that's important to me.

- He says the US failed when it didn't sign Kyoto. WRONG.

- He is VERY lax on border control. He only gets it 1/2 right. Punish employers yes... but we still need better border control. A lot of illegals come here, not to work legitimately, but for nefarious reasons. Wide open borders for terrorists is NOT good Homeland Security. Wide open borders for gangs and criminals to come through is ignorant and costs this country millions upon millions. The police in California have their hands full due to Mexican gangs and their drug and murder trafficing.

- Calls illegal aliens 'undocumented workers'. That's myopic and just left wing rhetoric phrasing.

- He complained about Americans refusing to stop looting in the aftermath of Iraq invasion, the firing of the Iraqi Army, and he complained about 'republican congress' refusal to give any oversight to the war'. damned stupid.

etc etc etc

Flyersfan, I would never lump you in with those that do not know, or do not care about the issues....you are one of the few that seems to be able to debate like an adult. My complaint is to those that have nothing to say other than..

He made a bad movie, how can you vote for him
He looked silly in this sketch, therefore he must be a bad politician
etc
etc

Kudos to you, as always.
