You keep saying Greed Over Principles, but isn’t it the Franken campaign who is excluding 654 wrongly rejected absentee ballots in Anoka County? The only principle people like you care about is winning at any cost and to hell with doing the right thing. Yeah, hope and change indeed.

You need psychological help. I surely hope you don’t talk to your family and co-workers like this.

All you ever do is call people names. You’ve never argued a single point people are making. It’s completely valid to question the SOS outsourcing the proceedings to a partisan blog. But instead of actually sticking to the point, you call names, disparage people and engage in flame wars. It’s great to know that hope and change has already done so much to change the tone of politics in our country.

Sure, there are crooked Democrats – there’s bad apples in every barrel. But you don’t see Dmocrats running as “Holier Than Thou” the way you hypocritical bastards do.

Well, maybe YOU do; like a typical republiCon you just make shit up and believe that stinkin’ pile of crap even though reasonable people recognize that stinkin’ pile of crap as the typical republiCon stinkin’ pile of crap.

But in your world – “Planet Denial” – that stinkin’ pile of crap is yours, so it smells just fine.

Your party has the likes of Rod Blagojevich, Charlie Rangel, William Jefferson, et al. and you have the chutzpah to call Republicans greedy? LMAO!

The truth is that the official proceedings of the State Canvassing Board should be streamed live on the House Web Site and not on a partisan hack site.

Oh, and to say that you’re a conservative Democrat is choice considering you’re calling everyone else a lying liar. You should add honesty to your list of New Year’s Resolutions.

If the truth isn’t out there, lying liars in the GreedOverPrinciples party get away with the spin.

But, just to let you know exactly what’s got me still pissed off, I’ll tell you: the greedy bastard crooks in the GreedOverPrinciples Party haven’t been PerpWalked – yet.

But ol’ Smokescreen will be…..

If it’s okay for Ritchie to broadcast the official Canvassing Board proceedings through the Uptake, why not just do it through Al Franken’s website or the DFL’s? It’s the same difference.

It’s amazing that you and your party control everything: the White House, Congress, the MN Legislature, the Secretary of State, etc. and you’re still as rabid, angry and pissed off as ever. Perhaps it’s because you’re the shameless dick. But happy new year nonetheless.

Aren’t you shameless dicks always claiming “anything government can do, private industry can do better”??!?

Yet here you are, lickin’ the boots, trying to follow the lame excuse government should be doing what The Uptake is doing on their own.

You (cheney)in’ morons constantly prove that the GreedOverPrinciples party is consistently inconsistent.

As a conservative Republican, I think you’re either a moron or a wanker. There is no way in hell you can make a credible argument that it’s better for an opinion-based website to stream the official legal proceedings for the public than it would be for the House of Representatives who have cameras, microphones and a webcast page on their website.

I’m sorry but if you think it’s small government to outsource the proceedings to an equivalent to MoveOn.org, you’re either misguided or a moron. The public has a right to know without having to wade through the slant of someone else’s opinion.

Purportedly “independent” Paulson assisted by ultra partisan right wing media tool!

Sound the Alarm!

All I know is that people were able to watch the meeting from UpTake free of charge or attend the meeting in person–so it’s not an “access to government” problem. Your anger seems utterly misdirected.

I merely commented upon our good friend Jeffy the Wingnut slayer’s recent acquisition of an honorary unit and the fashionable visage he presents while modeling it.

I’m going to assume that you’re a Democrat assbag, so I’ll be sure to use small, easy to digest words.

I wouldn’t discuss anything seriously with a Democrat any more than I would a nine month old infant.

Instead, as I would with an infant, I simply enjoy their complete absence of any congnative ability and the funny sounds they make.

Once in awhile, I’ll remind them to wipe their chins, too.

Now, you were saying?

“What did you expect from lefty’s, joe?

Try posting a dissenting comment on any lefty website…..their empty skulls are too fragile to endure the ringing that results from cognitive dissonance.

Facts? Lefty’s do-not-want.”

Yeah, real fact-laden post there…try posting a dissenting comment with well-thought-out and well-written arguments, and drop the childish and insulting (to the reader) crap like “MiniSoros”, “scAmerica”, “tcdailymoron”, and did you just call someone a uterus?

If this is what your posts over on a news-oriented website look like, then yes they’re going to be censored. They would be on a conservative news site as well. But if you wrote up some thoughtful commentary that dropped that editorial junk, it’d get through the UpTake’s moderation.

On second thought, keep that garbage up. It’s much easier to win an argument when one side has to resort to these tactics in their attempt to “win” rather than actually intelligently discuss the topic at hand.

Either way, The UpTake has been providing streaming video of the entire process, and without commentary on the video stream itself. If you choose to, you can read their articles too. But you aren’t required to if all you want is that video stream. And you can see their video stream here on Mogulus as well if their website is really that offensive to you.

I see when you’re not busy assing up teh interwebs over at tcdailymoron, you have been taking lessons from Feckless Jeffy on how to keep your man happy.

You two morons should really set up shop together; word on the street is that Feckless looks quite fetching in his new honorary uterus…and who knows? Maybe you two can spawn a whole new species of lefty idiots!

Bwahahaha!

Senator Coleman can try to win his seat back in 2020. Ritchie will have moved past SOS by then, and the GOP can romp.

Whoever provides these streams, on the other hand, cannot claim the same. Room 15 repeatedly and consistently, until now I guess, broadcasts non-legislative meetings and events. Whether it takes one person or ten, they should be there doing their job. Long hours, irregular schedules are part of life. If they don’t like it, maybe they can find a job in the private sector.

Loris, since when is it the Minnesota Senate Media Service’s responsibility to cover a state elections meeting? Those folks will be working non-stop for the next several months when session starts. I say they should be able to spend time with their families before their schedules fill up with Senate hearings and floor sessions.

Why did you not complain about Brodkorp posting on MDE when HE should be at his TAXPAYER-FUNDED job?

Gld, if you’re not allowed to post comments at The UpTake, why did I see you mouthing off on their blog because of a temporary glitch in their video?

That’s quite an assumption to make. I never said anything about disenting (and neither did they).

My guess, they attempt to moderate SPAM. That is not unusual and I would assume that even this site does the same.

You are correct. I just asked them (on their live blog) and they indeed confirmed it. That’s a shame.

I still appreciate that they stream the content.

They review each and every comment prior to posting and filter out most dissenting comments.

“The Uptake is seriously limiting any dissenting opinions and posts on their live blog.”

How so? It looks like anyone can enter any comments they wish.

Just curious why you claim this….

Plus, isn’t Room 15 outfitted with cameras already? There should be no need to have an outside website come in and film it.

But, I’m sure what you are really trying to say is that because Ritchie is allowing the Uptake to provide the public video of the meeting it must be the case that Ritchie is stealing the election for Franken.

Thanks for posting comments in support of The Uptake as well as those opposed. It shows your commitment to fairness and openness.

The Uptake is seriously limiting any dissenting opinions and posts on their live blog.

It’s hard to argue that they’re not hyper-partisan when they won’t allow dissenting opinions to be heard.

The site is a joke and clearly cannot get enough site visits on their own and need to rely on Ritchie’s office to do the work for them.

If you haven’t noticed their collaboration with MiniSoros Independent, or if you have, but are too dense to make the connection, be sure to join Mike McIntee when he sits in for Mark Heney on Air scAmerica radio.

And if you still don’t get it, report to DFL headquarters to pick up your special prize.

I’d hate to see you lose any of your hard earned credibility by being defamatory.

Since state workers are on vacation, there is no video feed from the Capitol. The UpTake is doing everyone a huge service.
