		<description>The claim is that Franken was praising Peterson&#039;s speech as a &quot;home run&quot;. If you read his book, the speech was given at a &quot;United We Stand America&quot; convention, a convention of the supporters of Ross Perot. A more accurate claim would be that Peterson&#039;s speech was a &quot;Home Run&quot; with Ross Perot&#039;s supporters, not with Al Franken. One reason that the speech was such a hit could be that Peterson &quot;was the first speaker&quot; (at the conference) &quot;to make use of charts&quot;. Those Perot supporters always loved those charts.</description>

		<description>You know, FiercelyIgnorant, those hippies were just like every other stinking Democrap I&#039;ve ever run across. They&#039;re happy to talk smack, but when Swiftee is standing right in front of them, they somehow lose all their steam.

And, in another way you are just like all of your stinking ilk too. You don&#039;t see any problem with stealing from kids. Real nice, asshole. Real nice.

You scumbags deserve Franken.</description>

		<description>Swift, your candidate is no better than Franken.  And you are just as extreme on your side, as the leftist tree huggers are on theirs.  It&#039;s too bad the hippies didn&#039;t throw a bucket of crap on you - not that anyone would notice.</description>

Even Porn-O-Rama doesn&#039;t deny it exists, he just wants us to believe he signed it without reading a word...you want to read it, find it yourself asshole.

Where is the document?  Y&#039;all swear up and down that it exists, and yet none of you seem capable of finding it.  

In related news, I saw a letter that Norm Coleman once wrote to Osama Bin laden offering to sell the United States to Al Queda.</description>

		<description>&quot;define what a lie is, and then hold your own candidates to the same standard. I dare ya!&quot;

A simple lie is saying something that is patently and demonstrably false. 

A stinking, lowlife, scumbag Democrat lie is stealing money from kids and then telling everyone that you didn&#039;t know a thing about it....even while a paper with your signature on it, documenting the whole rotten scheme is waved under your nose.

I don&#039;t vote for lying, stinking, lowlife, scumbag Democrats that steal money from kids, and I wouldn&#039;t waste a minute of my time trying to hold them to any standard that rises above the rim of a toilet bowl.

Problem solved. 

Next question. *grin*</description>

		<description>&quot;Ya know, people ask me, Why do I tend to support DFL candidates when my ideology more closely aligns witht he conservitives. And I tell them aboout close minded long winded people like â€˜Hi-Ten&#039;&quot;

Wow. Just Wow.


Flash, the closer we get to election time, the batshit crazier you get. Really.

Listen you poor boob; admitting that you vote Democrat because your a moron is a far better choice than telling everyone that you make your choices based upon what other people write in comment threads.

Stick with the truth, Flash.</description>

		<description>Anybody that claims they can &quot;preserve&quot; Social Security is lying, or stupid, or both.  A vote to preserve Social Security is a vote to destroy Social Security and break the promises that have been made.  A vote to reform Social Security is the only vote that can save it.</description>

		<description>If it is a lie, why won&#039;t Norm say as much?  

It is really easy to say that you didn&#039;t break the law, if, indeed, you didn&#039;t break the law. 

Where I worry is when something gets this much momentum, and Norm isn&#039;t willing to publicly put it to rest.  Makes me think there is fire under all the smoke.</description>

		<description>Here&#039;s another: 

Q:  Did Nasser Kazeminy buy Norm Coleman suits and other gifts in violation of the federal congressional gift ban? 

Coleman:  Yes.  

Pretty simple indeed.</description>

		<description>Flash, if you want to know what a lie is, read Biden&#039;s transcript from the last VP debate. 

It&#039;s chock full of lies... well, lies, gaffs and spectacular displays of ignorance.</description>

		<description>GOP Dictionary  

lie - When someones says something I don&#039;t want to hear or inconsistent with what I believe.

Here&#039;s a challenge for ya, define what a lie is, and then hold your own candidates to the same standard. I dare ya! Lets start with Who buys Norms suits *grin* Or Who Pays Norm&#039;s Utility bills. Or who . . . or you get the picture. In order to create a standard so low and beign to not include your own, the Dems will look like saints!

My politically agnostic wife, whenever she feels I am fibbing says &quot;What is this, you turned into a Republican now&quot; Even she knows *laughing*</description>

		<description>&quot;Franken has evidence of being 100% behind social security. Paulson has the opposite.&quot;

Huh. I didn&#039;t realize Franken and Paulsen were opponents this year. 

I hope Paulsen cleans Frnaken&#039;s clock, and dismantles morally and financially bankrupt social security administration once and for all.</description>

		<description>&quot;Cutting Social Security is a Republican move!&quot;

And a damned good one too. That stupid, bankrupt system does nothing but steal good money from hard working people. 

Ever since Democrats moved the social security money into the general fund and started spending it like wild, drunken idiots, the the whole program has been on a road to ruin. 

Cutting social security is the best way to save America.</description>

		<description>&quot;Anyone that has ever heard Al Franken speak about Social Security will remember him telling the story of his wifeâ€™s family.&quot;

Yep, and so long as Al Franken obstructs any and every true solution to fixing the failing, bankrupt Social Security system, he&#039;s doing his part to ensure that NO FUTURE family EVER is able to have the same experience his wife had. 

Way to go Al Franken. Thanks for the status quo. And keep your goddam hands off my private retirement programs. They work just fine. It&#039;s the Democrat SS debacle that&#039;s fucked up.</description>

		<description>This entire election cycle has gotten to be so &quot;low-brow&quot; and meaningless.

It won&#039;t matter who wins in November; Somebody is going to Washington to embarrass MN for 6 years.

The McCain / Obama and Madia / Paulsen  campaigns are equally absurd.

As a 30-year old voter who works in and loves politics, I have to tell you folks here that this is the most pitiful election I have seen since I can remember.

Every candidate I have to choose from is horribly flawed, with some that don&#039;t belong anywhere near a ballot for a chance at securing an elected office.

Pathetic &amp; Pitiful---just another day in Minnesota&#039;s political scene.</description>

		<description>Cutting Social Security is a Republican move!

Paulson supported it in the state legislature and refused to sign on with other politicians in the Third CD who were against dismantling social security. He let us know where he stood in August of 2005 when the campaign came to the Bloomington, Ednia, Shorewood and Brooklyn Park. Of course those campaigns were actually Ramstad Town Hall meetings were he was told to his face that Social Security shoudl not be touched and Iraq was not making us safer.
He and Paulson were on the wrong side of those issues.

Franken has evidence of being 100% behind social security. Paulson has the opposite. I bet he wished he didn&#039;t go on record with that, and he did. I was one of the funders of that effort in the Third and Sixth Congressional Districts.

You guys are desperate and forgetful.</description>

		<description>When are we going to start hearing plans or more like goals they ALL want to do in Washington. We all know that it takes more than just 1 person to get things done. I believe that David Dillon can and will do a better job. I believe that David knows how to reach across lines and negotiate what is needed. Paulsen, great guy for a Majority Leader. He let our government shut down in 2005. Do you want that kind of guy working for us? I don&#039;t. Madia? He is running on his Military Leadership. How ever that is a great thing to be and wish I could have been able to do such a thing is not proven enough to me. Madia hasn&#039;t shown that he has been active in activities of the community. What has he done? What kind of community acitvism has he done in the 3rd District. I believe that he is just looking for a job. Why quit the one you have now for a job that you are trying to get and may not get? Doesn&#039;t make sense. There is something more going on. I understand that people will say back to me that he could get a job anywhere and he is doing this out of &quot;civic duty.&quot; Give me a break. Dillon has a record of doing something in the 3rd District and the community. He owns a business in this district. He has lived in this district for around 20 years if not a little more and didn&#039;t just move here to get into this race. Hmmm, like someone we know that did the same? Who could that be? Hilary Clinton? Al Franken? Ashwin Madia? 
Dillon in &#039;08, has my vote!!</description>

Ya know, people ask me, Why do I tend to support DFL candidates when my ideology more closely aligns witht he conservitives. And I tell them aboout close minded long winded people like &#039;Hi-Ten&#039;

Thanks for proving my point! ( I did catch the Morton Downey, Jr &#039;pablum puking,&#039; reference, tho. Nice touch!)

&quot;&quot;Using an out of context one sentence quote from a book, in an attempt to deceive people into believing that Al Franken supports cutting social security benefits: shameless&quot;&quot;

Why, Shameless is Mike&#039;s middle name, he just spells it with a &#039;B&#039; *grin*

		<description>Anyone that has ever heard Al Franken speak about Social Security will remember him telling the story of his wife&#039;s family.  Franni Frankenâ€™s father died when she was 17 months old, widowing her mother at age 29 with five kids. Their family made it through thanks to Social Security Survivor benefits, and all five kids grew up to become productive members of society.

		<description>All Franken posts should include the latest RepublicinMussen poll from your favorite Right Leaning Pollster:

http://tinyurl.com/63r2y9

&quot;&quot;The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Franken with 43% of the vote, Coleman with 37%, and Barkley with 17%. This is the largest advantage Franken has enjoyed all year. A month ago, Coleman was up by a point.

Franken leads by fourteen points among women but trails by a single point among men. &quot;&quot;

37% . . . you mean a Right leaning pollster can&#039;t muster more than 37% for an incumbent Repub in a &#039;purple&#039; state. They must have oversampled DEMs again *grin*

MDE, electing DFLers one smear at a time! For that, we thank you!

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All Franken posts should include the latest RepublicinMussen poll from your favorite Right Leaning Pollster:</p>
<p><a href="http://tinyurl.com/63r2y9" rel="nofollow">http://tinyurl.com/63r2y9</a></p>
<p>&#8220;&#8221;The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows Franken with 43% of the vote, Coleman with 37%, and Barkley with 17%. This is the largest advantage Franken has enjoyed all year. A month ago, Coleman was up by a point.</p>
<p>Franken leads by fourteen points among women but trails by a single point among men. &#8220;&#8221;</p>
<p>37% . . . you mean a Right leaning pollster can&#8217;t muster more than 37% for an incumbent Repub in a &#8216;purple&#8217; state. They must have oversampled DEMs again *grin*</p>
<p>MDE, electing DFLers one smear at a time! For that, we thank you!</p>

		<description>&quot;It will be interesting to see how this story of Frankenâ€™s hypocrisy will be covered by the Minnesota press.&quot;

Here&#039;s a hint:  they won&#039;t, because this is dumb.</description>
