“No man is entitled to the blessings of freedom unless he be vigilant in its preservation.”
- General Douglas MacArthur

Like I said before Tommy, you can believe anything you want, but it’s not me.

You, Pat, are a liar.

Army, you; hubby a marine; yada yada yada. It all adds up.

Your reasoning is faulty. First, the majority, 50%, of this tranporations tax hike is going to MASS TRANSIT, which doesn’t do jack for roads or wear and tear on vehicles. 25% of this tax hike is going to pedestrian and bicycle paths, again it does NOTHING to help the wear and tear on vehicles. Of the remaining 25%, 62% is going to outstate roads. That leaves, of the total, a whopping 9.5% that goes to metro area roads. Yet the metro is paying the lions share.

Also, when people voted in 2006, they were voting for people who said they would be fiscally conservative and not raise taxes. Yet, that’s the first thing they did, and they aren’t done yet. In otherwords, people voted for massive liars. ANd the people aren’t about to forget that either.

Tommy, that’s not me, but thanks for thining it is.

Here’s Neil Peterson’s take, on why he voted to override the veto:

Hey – nice picture, in the Eden Prairie Magazine.

And gas taxes hurt the common person. Every product we buy will have an increased cost now too. Businesses aren’t going to eat that increased gas cost, they’ll pass it onto the consumer. So again, I askm what was good about taxing people into the poor house?

Bikes don’t use much, so don’t worry.

This is just too funny. Angry Al, the man who doesn’t follow the rules.

And you said that so soon after Siefert inflicted party discipline…..you don’t get the irony, do ya?

Then, once you show them the video proof, then it will be because some Republican made him do it or maybe be like twopudd and just try to divert the attention elsewhere.

With democrats it is about the party, not what is actually best for the country.

Read the NY laws

Who is Covered?
Workers in all employments conducted for profit. Part-time employees, borrowed employees, leased employees, family members and volunteers are also included under the workers’ compensation law.

Do you work in a “for profit” soup kitchen?

Amazing I have never had to fill out any paperwork to volunteer in such a way. It seems Michael’s exposse has just scratched the surface. I bet most charitable organizations in the state are in violation, and should be shut down immediatley as the investigative net widens.

Good work!

By the end of the summer, Andy and I went to New York and sort of the last few weeks as we were working on the book, I think we were putting in something like 70 hours.

You guys need to read a little.

70 hours, no money, and no workman’s compensation insurance. Yet Franken made millions.

The soup continues to thin…

I’ve shown you proof of both of these facts.

You’d think that somebody who wants a job writing laws would know how to follow them.

Franken made millions off of their labor, and couldn’t be bothered to write a check for $25K as required by law.

***”Some conservative critics have criticized Harvard for allowing Harvard students to participate in a study group with Al Franken. David Horowitz called the study group an example of Harvard being a “national educational disgrace.” Was it inappropriate for Harvard to allow a study group with Franken? “***

Why can’t you guys keep your story straight?

“It’s a study group – no, it’s a job. Hey, the government says it’s a job, and us conservatives ALWAYS take the government’s decision over a business!!!”

No wonder folks overwhelmingly voting DFL – you simply cannot trust a conservative to tell the truth.

What does this have to do with the topic at hand?

Show me that they were on his payroll AND that he didn’t provide workers comp, and you may be able to pull this argument from the ditch and steer it back closer to the road.

But I bet you don’t have that, because it wasn’t provided on spinsanity.org…

You mental midgets can find the rest. (hint. Look inside the book)

You all have theories, but the reason no MSM will pick this up is because the allegations are no doubt sexier than the facts.

But thanks for trying.

These are the 14 people who were cheated out of workers compensation while Franken made millions from the book.

Do you want the names of the 14 grad students? ‘Cause I’ve got them.

That a business would never pay a fine, because it’s cheaper to pay, than fight?

Is that what you’re saying?

Because by simply providing a link to the state, and saying that’s de facto proof Franken was wrong, you’re saying you’ll always take the side of the government.

“Right”?

Now get back to your bottle.

There are very limited situations where businesses are exempt from providing workers’ compensation coverage, including:

the business is owned by one individual with no employees, leased employees, borrowed employees, part-time employees or unpaid volunteers (including family members) and is not a corporation.;

Obviously, he was fined, so he was not exempt, so he had employees or unpaid volunteers.

Really?

Can you provide a link to that, or are you just makin’ that one up?

Personally, I think it’s shameful to make stuff up, don’t you?

‘Cause I went back and checked each and every link Michael provided, and there’s NOTHING that says ANTYHTING about ANY employees.

So, link or apology – your choice.

If we were down south, I’d suggest you were a regular at The Waffle House….

Are you disputing that?

This is extremely serious. It would be a serious problem regardless of the candidate or employer, but it is worse because Franken would like us all to believe that he is the candidate of labor, and the “little guy.”

But when the little guy needs coverage by a Franken corporation, he doesn’t provide it.

Shameful.

Really?

Link, please?

Or you just makin’ that one up?

I love the fact that they’re doing it because just like Entenza, Franken is trying to cover up the truth with another lie. And once he’s caught in this lie, he’ll try another, and then another.

Pretty soon the lies are going to catch up with gay-bashing Al and he’ll be toast.

“My Mikey can write stuff on the internet that is close enough to factual that some news blogs will pick it up for a few hours before it is debunked and the links have to be removed.” – Mrs. Brodkorb

The fact remains, if you could prove that he failed to provide workers comp to ANYONE BUT HIMSELF you would have done so by now.

But you can’t. So you will tell half a story and hope people don’t look behind the curtain.
