“…one of the GOP’s most vulnerable incumbents.”
Man, I LIKE the sound of that!!!
April 24th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
Ditto!!

All the stars are aligned againsts Coleman AND HE’S STILL WELL BEHIND!
It says something about Angry Al. With the wind at his back, he can’t win.
April 24th, 2008 at 11:28 AM
I bet you do puddles, yet you are still afraid of taking the posting bet because you know all about Angry Al’s negatives.
I say Angry Al loses by ten points in the general!
Why even the kids over at MN Pooplius are in total damage control to try and help keep Frankenfrauds tax problems off the radar.
Why puddles, knowing how you like to point out thing such as “I know my candidate did but what about your?”
I find it rather funny you also will not address Angry Al’s tax evading problems.

“I find it rather funny you also will not address Angry Al’s tax evading problems.”
Try to pay attention, will ya?
It’s Al’s company; it’s Al’s problem. He manned up on the New York deal; I expect him to man up on California, too.
Boy Blunder, however, has NEVER manned up, and you bootlickers have always given him a pass.
I don’t point out Boy Blunder as an excuse; I point out Boy Blunder as just another example of the hypocrisy of republiCons.
Do try to keep up, won’t you?

Enjoy it while you have it, because it as close as you will come to living it…

Eight Putt:
I’m surprised. On another thread you had claimed he had already manned up to California. Guess you can’t keep your fiction writing straight!
Part of your problem is that what you think is blunders aren’t blunders. But one thing is for sure Norm has shown he’s more qualified to be a US Senator than that swearing jerk who tries not to pay his taxes.

“I’m surprised. On another thread you had claimed he had already manned up to California.”
No, Walter – I didn’t.
I did notice you thought that I had; but then again you think all kinds of stupid stuff!!!
For instance, you actually think that ol’ RINO Norm is a Republican!!!!
April 24th, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Yes idiot, you did:

Two Putt:
OK, so Al and Pres. W. Bush are like minded. Is that your argument?
And second, what did Pres Bush do that was comparable to Al filing for a tax return even though he “wasn’t doing business anymore�

At least Franken manned up and said it’s his problem; Boy Blunder never did that – all Boy Blunder ever did was point fingers.
================
You can’t even keep your own BS straight any more can you, dolt?
April 24th, 2008 at 12:31 PM
Morons like Franken and 2punk “man up” the same way…bent over a table.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:34 PM
OK, I (cheney)ed up – wasn’t watchin’ closely, and missed “tax returns” as a clear signal for California. And, it was clear; I missed it.
Yep – ya got me, Swiftee. Fair ‘n square – ya nailed me. I man up and admit it.
But, the record is clear; Franken has indeed manned up on New York.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:35 PM
NotSoSwiftly, if anyone shouldn’t talk about ‘bendin’ over’, it’s a toe-tapper like you.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:42 PM
Hey Eight Putt:
I did say California!!!! How dare you call me a liar!!! You had said Franken had manned up to his tax problems on a thread where Franken was being attacked for attacking the person who they said created the mess instead of Franken.
Now last time I looked Norm Coleman has asked for and gotten two endorsements to run as the Republican candidate for state wide office. He has dealt with the fact that he was a Democrat at one time. Keep in mind just like Ronald Reagan what caused the switch was that Democrat party left Norm Coleman!
There are some issues where I would like Norm to be more conservative (ANWAR for starters), but on most issues Norm does behave like a Repbulican. Not like a communist liberal Democrat like Al Franken, Obama, etc.
Of course you live in your dream universe where what you write is what you think is the truth.

2punk, your entire life has been one big “Cheney up” after another, hasn’t it?
I’ve got no doubt that Franken “manned up” plenty in New York, but he never took responsibility for anything he’s ever done.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:52 PM
“…but on most issues Norm does behave like a Repbulican.”
You keep believin’ that, Walter. I listened to ol’ Smokescreen’s speech, when he announced he’s running again, and I heard a Democrat. Ol’ Smokescreen’s goin’ back to his roots. Next thing ya know, he’ll grow his hair long again, and get another megaphone.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:53 PM
That’s a mighty wide-stance you got there, NotSoSwiftly.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:57 PM
Hey dolt. Whenever you’re ready to man up.
April 24th, 2008 at 12:59 PM
You got a mighty big head, dolt.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:00 PM
Which is a waste, considering it’s empty space…
April 24th, 2008 at 1:04 PM
You’re a sick man, NotSoSwiftly.
Seek help.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:06 PM
Man up, dolt.
April 24th, 2008 at 1:08 PM
Careful Swiftee, he is bent over a table hoping….
Puddles, caught in yet another lie.
While we are at it can we clear up that military record of yours?
“Wide stance”… Puddles, I am getting the feeling you are upset that you have to squat to pee?
April 24th, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Okay eightputt:
ANWAR he behaves like a democrat!
Immigration he flirts like a Democrat!
He likes to say he is an independent voice which isn’t good.
What specific things does Norm Coleman do that makes him behave like a Democrat instead of a Republican? You’re the one who calls him a RINO. If this RINO had been in the state house instead of one of the true six RINO’s in the state house he would’ve voted to uphold the governor’s veto.
Come on eight putt you’ve called him the RINO so where is he a RINO? You nust have a long list where he behaves like a Democrat since you think I’m dreaming and I’m nuts.

“You’re the one who calls him a RINO.”
No, Walter – it’s your conservative breteren that’s callin’ him that.
I’m just helpin’ ‘em spread the word!!!
April 24th, 2008 at 1:54 PM
Eight Putt:
You know when you’re in trouble is when you start having to attack the other candidate totally. I’ve given you several opprotunties hear for you to show how Al is supperior to Norm. You haven’t done it which means spread the word Tommy thinks Norm Coleman is better than Al Franken! Welecome aboard the Norm Coleman team eight putt.

The problem with Franken is that most people don’t like him. Those that aren’t sure, haven’t met him yet.
April 24th, 2008 at 3:29 PM
Chstnut, only in your world.
Al’s actually a great guy, and folk that meet him usually end up liking him – ’cause he’s a good and decent guy.
Kinda like ol’ Smokescreen – ya might not like his politics nor his flip-floppin’, but he’s a decent guy.
T-Paw is too. T-Paw is actually a very, Very, VERY funny guy. It’d be a blast to play 18 with T-Paw.
April 24th, 2008 at 5:58 PM
Eight putt:
I’m sure the people in the tax departments of New York and California will disagree with you.
And all the people who he’s insulted with horrible language (something that you only seem to insult Dick Cheny for) don’t like him.
There’s a college student who he treated like a total jerk.
So you just told a whopper of a lie there. He’s great at annoying people and using swear language, but those aren’t qualifications to be a US Senator.
So why don’t you name just one good qualification for Al Franken eight putt?
