Yeah, I would certainly vote for a serial killer because clearly his values would line up with my belief in tolerance and non violence. I think you would vote for Ted Bundy as long as it said (R-colorado) behind his name. As long as he claimed everybody to the left of him as a “communist” and “terrorist”

el presidente: That is somewhat strange in that I did not write you a question.

D: “When Coleman was a mayor, he ran with out a D or R behind his name on the ballot.”

el presidente: I think that he also “ran” from serving in the U. S. military during the time of the Vietnam War. From your earlier posts you seem to have been somewhat irked by the fact that U. S. military personnel are sometimes not the shining examples of VIRTUE that they are sometimes portrayed to be.

As one used to hear one of the higher-ranking military personnel state, “I’ve got a couple of things to say to you. Grow up.”

When Coleman was a mayor, he ran with out a D or R behind his name on the ballot. When he ran for senator, he had a party designation.

All this goes to show you is that the idiots that live in the cesspool of St. Paul vote first for a party and not for what the candidate stands for. The DFL is populated by mind-numb robots. Period.

For as long as I spent in the environment, I’m sorry to say that my vocabulary is almost close to nil, or is nil.

However, the experience that I had was and still is priceless.

Enough with this Al Franken stuff already!

I’m nearly in tears I’m laughing so hard. Damned Leroy, you should publish those jokes.

The Clinton economy was a facade. It blew up. It was in recession before Clinton left office.

Good one. You’re a funny, but incredibly stupid, person.

Norm rode the good fortune of Clinton’s economy and when things started to go south, he sought employment elsewhere, lest the people figure out that it is easy to govern when the economy is on track.

Let’s see.

Under Norm Coleman, Saint Paul enjoyed 8 years of no tax increases, a thriving business climate and many successful projects (such as the Excel).

Now, under Chris Coleman those same citizens are enjoying:

23% tax increases in two years and the promise of more to come.

Snivelling like a bitch for more state aid every legislative season.

Closed businesses.

Empty office buildings.

Potholes in the spring and unmowed boulevards in the summer.

All topped off with a nice, big expansion of a government that is already bleeding red ink.

Which one of those are you suggesting that the rest of the state wants, Nick?

If Norm truly was a popular mayor, why did he fail to carry a single precinct in the city six years ago? NOT ONE.

In this country, when we dislike a politician, we vote against them. St. Paul hated Norm, and made it known. Now he has represented the whole state. You know what that means…

Yes, most of his “points” are non sequitur…

So, el presidente’s “point” is a non sequitur. And Yoni’s suggestion is a bit daft because Senators actually have a defined role to play in our government.

He certainly could talk about it a lot if he thought that would be effective, or instead he could take his opponents tack on the subject and make a joke of it. I, for one, would rather he say nothing on this subject rather than joke about it. If I’m not mistaken, el presidente and Yoni think differently.

yeah, i went overboard, it won’t happen again. I do appreciate the warning it was terribly generous of you. (totally serious)

So then the 2003 pattern would seem to be that generally the wealthier women [EAGAN residents] would have a lower incidence of being raped than the less wealthy women [ST. PAUL residents].

Betty McCollum, 4th District, United States Congressional District Representative, and Kieth Ellison, 5th District, United States Congressional District Representative, would then probably have a greater percentage, and a greater number of rapes in their Districts based on the demographics provided on the Office of Justice Programs, Statistical Analysis Sheet.

“From 1960 to 1993, Minnesota’s rape rate was lower than the nation’s. Since 1993, Minnesota’s rape rate has been higher than the national average.”

“National Surveys suggest that household income is negatively related to sexual assault/rape victimization rates, families with the lowest incomes (less than $7,500) have the highest victimization rates and families with incomes of $75,000 and over have the lowest victimization rates.”

First, thanks for listing the sites. I knew the info was there from my conversations with military families and my contact with military personnel and FORMER MILITARY RECRUITERS.

Second, thanks for the syntax “dead on.” It reminded me that I was doing something with MBB’s “dead tired,” [I think] my “dead ringer,” and someone else’s “dead __?___.”

I can’t recall the context in which I was using it. Perhaps you can recall the context.

Rape. The Iraqi Government uses rape and sexual assault of women to achieve the following goals: to extract information and forced confessions from detained family members; to intimidate Iraqi oppositionists by sending videotapes showing the rape of female family members; and to blackmail Iraqi men into future cooperation with the regime. Some Iraqi authorities even carry personnel cards identifying their official “activity” as the “violation of women’s honor.” (U.S. Department of State, Country Reports on Human Rights Practices-2001, March 2002; Iraq Research and Documentation Project, Harvard University)

Torture. The Iraqi Government routinely tortures and kills female dissidents and the female relatives of Iraqi oppositionists and defectors. Victims include Safiyah Hassan, the mother of two Iraqi defectors, who was killed after publicly criticizing the Iraqi Government for killing her sons after their return to Iraq. Women in Saddam’s jails are subjected to the following forms of torture: brutal beatings, systematic rape, electrical shocks, and branding. (U.S. Department of State, Country Reports on Human Rights Practices-2001, March 2002; U.S. Department of State, Iraq: A Population Silenced, December 2002)

Is Norm’s “over site” position in a helocopter, fixed wing aircraft or baloon?

How long have you guessed your thoughts were actions?

Can you answer the question I posed to Leroy? It seems he’s been put down for a nap and it looks like “el p” is going to think it over for a few days.

you are dead on with your analysis:

I guess my thoughts are actions speak louder than words, instead of spending all of these resources on someone who made a joke about rape, why can’t Norm in his over site position actually do something about this festering problem amongst our women soldiers serving in Iraq?

the issues or past voting records are not considered fair game on MDE. This is purely a smear website.

Great idea “el p”, you should send that one in to Obama. Keep those Democrat ideas coming.

That is why, in part, I think that national military service might help prevent some things as being so shocking to some people.

Nope. You’re all a bunch of rapists, on the prowl for your next victim. This view brought to you by the Democrat Party. Sleep well.

We should be thankful that he (and his pals, dolts #1 through 4) is spending his time here amusing us with his amphigory instead of sending pipe bomb care packages for our guys and gals in harm’s way.

Just remember that one when you hear Obama the Mesiah or any other Democrat mouth words about supporting our troops. You’re all just a bunch of rapists in their eyes.

Even hinting that ANY of our soldiers want to rape their fellow soldiers is THE MOST DESPICABLE POSTS EVER WRITTEN. PERIOD.

As senator, he’s not my favorite cup-of-tea, but he has been helpful in:

Express-passage of the 35W bridge funding
Federal road dollars
Flood response money for SE Minnesota

Angry Al, on the other hand, has nothing to so for his time in Minnesota. NOTHING. Show me ONE issue he has successfully lobbied in St. Paul or Washington for. ONE! All Angry Al has is his bitter sarcasm. And hatred of women.

Which was the most painful Democrat initiation rite…was it when they stuck a straw in your ear and sucked out the half a brain you were born with or when they replaced it with sh*t?

Seriously, we’d all like to know.

~We support the WAR in IRAQ.

~We turn a deaf ear to the RAPES in Iraq.

~We turn a deaf ear to the USA female soldiers in Iraq who are terrified of being RAPED by USA soldiers and/or USA civilians working for private USA firms.

Bush’s War In Iraq: SICK, SICK, SICK

Oh wait…

I don’t understand how you can simply ignore this. Is politics that important to you that you are willing to cast aside all decency and compassion?

Rape isn’t funny you Neanderthal.

Setting aside all of the other reasons not to vote for Franken, making light of drugging and raping woman should give pause to all but the most partisan of partisan Liberal women in this state.
