COLEMAN FOR SENATE STATEMENT ON TODAY’S SUPREME COURT RULING
By Ryan Flynn | January 5, 2009
ST. PAUL – Coleman for Senate Counsel Fritz Knaak today issued the following statement regarding the Minnesota Supreme Court’s ruling today.
“Given our campaign’s unwavering commitment to ensuring that the vote of no Minnesotan is disenfranchised, today’s ruling by the Minnesota Supreme Court is both disappointing and disheartening. The fact that the Franken campaign now rejects the notion of every valid vote being counted so they can attempt to declare victory on the basis of a broken process, and an artificial lead built on double counting of votes should concern all Minnesotans. Today’s ruling, which effectively disregards the votes of hundreds of Minnesotans, ensures that an election contest is now inevitable. The Coleman campaign has consistently and continually fought to have every validly cast vote counted, and for the integrity of Minnesota’s election system, we will not stop now. The Minnesota Supreme Court has made sure that an election contest will need to be filed quickly in order to ensure that an accurate and valid recount can be achieved.â€

Your conservative guy, the Chief Justice, said the following:
“Everything’s been looked at and looked at carefully,†Minnesota Supreme Court Justice and State Canvassing Board Member Eric Magnuson tells Forum Communications this morning. “If there were any nits to be picked, they’ve been picked.â€
Is your guy a corrupt liberal now?
Also, Coleman was against counting absentees before he was for them.
The facts are that Franken was for counting every single improperly rejected absentee as determined by non-partisan county election officials. Those officials, not Franken, decided which ballots were improperly rejected.

Michael – your “braintrust” has lost every (cheney)in’ case they filed – and in one of ‘em, the Good Judge ruled that Coleman is indeed the fourth most corrupt Senator.
Never in Minnesota history has a campaign had such inept legal counsel.
Of course, Minnesota has never had a Senator as corrupt as Norm Coleman, either.

I just love liberals defending the idea of not counting every vote.

“”The Coleman campaign has consistently and continually fought to have every validly cast vote counted”"
For a bright lawyer, you’d think he knew what the word ‘consistently’ means. They only cared about rejected absentee ballots once it became inevitable it was their only hope. I saw count all the rejected absentee ballots, or county all those determined to be improperly rejected by the county boards. I think the only real gaff the Supreme Court has made was allowing the campaigns to veto ballots.
Senator Coleman is at a fork in the road, he can take the high road or the low road, I believe both roads lead to the same destination, a Senator Al Franken.

“Michael – your “braintrust†has lost every (cheney)in’ case they filed..”
Thus spake the SuperAmerica Snow Plow Guy!
HAHAHAHahahaHAHAHA!
“Senator Coleman is at a fork in the road, he can take the high road or the low road, I believe…”
And thus spake a guy that describes stealing from kids “perfectly legal”…
And people are shocked that the Fresh Prince of Bill Ayers got elected.
Pfffft.
If you’re wondering just how low the Democrat party can go, stay tuned….the Obamanation of America will break all records for indictments and scandals.
Thus spake the obvious.

“Never in Minnesota history has a campaign had such inept legal counsel.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahaAHAHAHAHAHaaaa!
Say, Cheeto boy? Did you get your JD from the same place you got your Expert Snowplow Guy Certificate?
What.an.idiot! You really need to put a tin can out here Cheeto boy. I swear I’d be dropping quarters in every time you poke your head up out of moms basement.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
January 5th, 2009 at 12:40 pm
“…the Obamanation of America will break all records for indictments and scandals.”
WOW!!!
After the misAdministration of Boy Blunder And The Plunderers, that’s quite a record they’ll have to break!!!
January 5th, 2009 at 12:42 pm
Oh, and Scrotee? Save your quarters; you’ll need ‘em for your dates with Larry Craig.
January 5th, 2009 at 12:55 pm
“”describes stealing from kids “perfectly legalâ€â€¦”"
Prove it, you can’t/haven’t/won’t prove anyone even stole anything, let alone from kids. See, Tom, in the real world we deal with facts and stuff, we don’t generally make stuff up out of thin air. Come join us some time, it is quite liberating.

No, Flush.
I’m not going to play your little asshat game. Franken’s part in the pillaging of the Gloria Wise childrens charity is well known by all, including you.
We also know that the party of Scrubs teaches it’s minions that if you don’t get caught, or don’t go to jail if you do, anything is acceptable. So I’ll just save the time you’d like to spend re-defining the meaning of “is”, again.
Franken is a scumbag. He pocketed money he knew had been taken from a childrens charity in a scam…that is the guy you support. End of story.
Say, Cheeto boy? You just can’t get Larry Craig off your mind, can you?
You could start by removing all of those pictures of Larry you’ve got taped all over the dash of your plow truck.
HAHA!
January 5th, 2009 at 1:20 pm
“misAdministration”
Huh?
Say, Cheeto boy? Is that a word they taught you in plowtruck law school?
Pffft.
You.are.an.idiot.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
You know, reliance on ad hominem attacks is generally considered the refuge of idiots and scoundrels. Given that Swiftee has never attempted an argument that was not, in fact, an ad hominem attack, one can only wonder which of those he falls into.
As for the ruling — go for it, Norm. Seriously, bring the pain. I dare you.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:26 pm
Flash, republiCons – such as Scrotee – don’t care if something “is” true; they only care that voters “think” it’s true.
That’s why they make stuff up, and keep repeating it over and Over and OVER.
Boy Blunder even bragged about it:
Today’s republiCons simply cannot be trusted to tell the truth.
January 5th, 2009 at 1:56 pm
Norm Coleman’s part in the abuse and rape of children and the elderly is well known by all, including you. (Since facts are not required in Swiftee’s posts, I am trying out the format).
We also know that the party of Shrubs teaches it’s minions that if you don’t get caught, or don’t go to jail if you do, anything is acceptable. So I’ll just save the time you’d like to spend re-defining the meaning of “public bathroomâ€, again.
Coleman is a scumbag. He pocketed money he knew had been given to his wife by an Iranian businessman in violation of federal election law…that is the guy you support. End of story.
Say, Swiftee? You just can’t get Cheetos and gay porn off your mind, can you?
You could start by removing all of those pictures of Karl Rove you’ve got taped all over the Clay Aiken posters on the ceiling above your bed.
HAHA!

“The Coleman campaign clearly misjudged the politics here, and the apparent willingness of a partisan like Mr. Ritchie to help his preferred candidate, Mr. Franken. If the Canvassing Board certifies Mr. Franken as the winner based on the current count, it will be anointing a tainted and undeserving Senator.”

more than 25 precincts now have more ballots than voters who signed in to vote.
No way this is not going to court.
January 5th, 2009 at 2:13 pm
Every Minnesotan should want a court challenge. The fact is that the election system is broken in Minnesota. The only reason we now know this to be true is that this election was so close. No one really has any confidence in the result. Human beings trying to discern “intent” is a flawed process. The margin of error is probably 1000 votes, one way or the other. When an election is that close, the only fair way is to flip a coin. Having the S of State and the CB try to wade through this process cannot yield a proper result. Too bad, Mn again becomes a laughingstock nationally.

“Given that Swiftee has never attempted an argument that was not, in fact, an ad hominem attack, one can only wonder which of those he falls into.”
Now, now Feckless…there you go again.
You know that the last time I took the time to tear your pathetic arguments to shreds you got all emotional and rushed around looking for a razor blade to put an end to your worthless life.
We really don’t want to have to call those nice men again…do we? Of course not.
See, I’m sticking to merely mocking you for your own good, Feckless…I know you’re feeling strong, and invincible with your honorary uterus and all, but underneath the proud woman you’ve become, I can still see the quivering, brainless kid that refused to wear his hockey helmet on the short bus so he could lick the windows.

“Flash, republiCons – such as Scrotee – don’t care if something “is†true; they only care that voters “think†it’s true.”
Kind of like your “wounded combat vet” status, right, Cheeto boy? Right?
Pffft.
Pay attention to the parking lot you’re plowing and don’t hit the trash cans again, dolt.

“Norm Coleman’s part in the abuse and rape of children….”
Uh, oh….projection. Looks like Leroy is having a flashback from his childhood again.
Your daddy said he was sorry, Leroy…get over it.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
First, I believe “Leroy” is partial to gay porn and is defending Tommy most likely because they are “buddies”. How come you lost that job in Appleton Leroy?
Second, Gov. Richardson is the first of many Obama people to fall by the wayside over the next four years. I can’t wait to see how the left defends this guy who apparently in big trouble for selling favors for campaign contributions.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Pete-
I’ve worked in Appleton as many days as you have been right on who was going to win the 20A house seat.
ZERO.
I have drank plenty of nights at the Paddle Bar, and have had some good times at the Hunting Club, but never have I lived, or worked, in Appleton. Even had breakfast yesterday with the outgoing and incoming DEMOCRATS in that district. We probably should have invited your two-time loser friend Bredeck as well.
January 5th, 2009 at 3:46 pm
You been lookin’ at kiddie porn on the job again, Leroy?
Shame on you, boy.
You save that crap for your breakfast meetings with your Democrat buddies..ya hear?
January 5th, 2009 at 3:50 pm
“I have drank plenty of nights at the Paddle Bar..”
Oh, you have drank?
Public school, eh, Leroy? Ahh well. We need snow plow guys and there is certainly nothing wrong with operating a shovel either.
Maybe you and Cheeto boy should go into business…between the two of you, you could probably swing that 1978 1 ton Cheeto Boy has been drooling over!
(I don’t even want to think about what goes on at the “Paddle Bar”, but I’m guessing you have Cheeto boy’s full attention)…*LMAO@U*
January 5th, 2009 at 6:34 pm
“Leroy”, I hope Andrew Falk didn’t get another DUI after the party.
I see then that you have worked in Appleton. I predicted that Aaron Peterson would win in 2004 when he ran against Jeff Moen.
Nice to see you are finally ready to “man up” there “Leroy”.
Not surprised that you had breakfast with these guys. Busy night with the “boys”?
Was Aaron there? He hasn’t been heard of in this district since the last session. Collecting pay checks and doing nothing – but thats nothing new for Aaron.
Speaking of not being seen, where has Andrew Falk been hiding? No meetings in the district. Nothing. I guess he is going to St Paul to represent that trial lawyer/wind energy investor friend of his – and only him.
To bad they, and you, had to run such a negative campaign in order to win. You must be so proud – but since you are a Democrat we would expect no less. At least the Bredeck campaign can hold their heads high while Andrew has his head in his masters lap.
January 5th, 2009 at 7:30 pm
Interesting. How come when Franken offered to count all improperly rejected absentee ballots, Team Coleman said “no way.” But now Coleman is saying not all the votes were counted and blaming Franken? Idiots. Everyone in the state can see through this. I would LOVE for the Pioneer Press or the Strib or Pat Kessler at WCCO to do a timeline illustrating who said what when and who did what when. The flip-flops on Coleman’s side are staggering.
