SEN. JOHN CORNYN: “MINNESOTA, NOT D.C., SHOULD CHOOSE SENATOR”
By Ryan Flynn | January 12, 2009
From Roll Call:
Last week we saw the official swearing-in of Members of the 111th Congress, and in just over a week, the entire nation will watch history be made as Barack Obama is sworn in as the 44th president of the United States. Obama, and just about every Member who will represent the citizens of our 50 states, campaigned and won on a pledge to put aside the partisanship that has waylaid important work in the past and to work together for the good of this country. We have every hope and expectation that they will live up to that promise.
But recent comments by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) regarding the Minnesota Senate seat still at play threaten that promise from being realized and threaten the very trust and confidence of the American people. Reid recently stated, “Norm Coleman will never ever serve [again] in the Senate. He lost the election. He can stall things, but he’ll never serve in the Senate.â€
…
As newspapers across Minnesota have written on their editorial pages of recent, Coleman has every right to file an election contest, the Minnesota Supreme Court and the Minnesota state canvassing board have directed certain issues to be brought up in an election contest, and things are proceeding appropriately.
Reid should respect the voters of Minnesota enough to keep his partisanship out of the statutory business of their state, and he should be careful that his political aspirations don’t threaten the critical legislative work that needs to be done by Members of both sides of the aisle. (Source, Roll Call, January 12, 2009).

…that his(Reid’s) political aspirations…
ROFLMAO!!!
What “political aspirations” could Reid possibly have??!?
There is NO WAY he’d EVER get elected to national office.
January 12th, 2009 at 12:00 PM
I have to agree…Reid is a pathetic worm and is lucky to have his CURRENT job.
January 12th, 2009 at 12:02 PM
Do the left-wing commenters on this blog dislike Reid because he is pro-life or is there another reason or reasons?
January 12th, 2009 at 12:18 PM
He’s spineless.
Very time the GOP merely speculates they might – MIGHT – filibuster, he caves.
He should go get ‘em cots and a pot to piss in, turn the mic up, and let ‘em rant to their heart’s content. That’s what a filibuster is.
And Reid is what spineless is.

You’ve got to love America.
Where else can a bloated, semi-literate buffoon throw a snow plow onto a battered pickup truck and call himself an “entrepreneur”?
And, where else could that self-same snow plowing buffoon publicly pontificate on subjects he can’t even spell, and about people who’s shoes he’s not fit to shine?
Yeah, you have to love America…pffft.
January 12th, 2009 at 12:57 PM
Why do you hate America, Scrotee? Is it because when you post links to full frontal male nudity, like you did here on MDE, those links get taken down?
Or is it because the electorate rejects moonbat-chasing sickos like you?

Reid saying Norm will never be in the Senate again is the best news I’ve heard yet based on Reid’s track record of predictions.
Where do we keep finding these clowns?

Re vote, re vote, re vote. The only sure way to not steal an election, and everyone knows it.

I have repeatedly challenged the republicans on here to provide one example of a democrat suggesting that Al will be seated before he is granted an election certificate. No one seems up to this challenge.
So, while the threat of Reid seating Franken is rampant, I believe it is safe to say that it remains that way due entirely to republican paranoia and nothing else.
And it must really frost your anal beads that Mark Ritchie today said that he would not sign an election certificate until the lawsuit is finalized. Hard to paint him as the big bad election thief when he is being so damn non-partisan.

danbrome has down so repeatedly “Leroy”. He is a self proclaimed Democrat.
I see you are still into the “anal” thing as well Scott, er I mean Leroy.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:05 PM
done, not down. Well, all things considered maybe “down” is more appropriate.
January 12th, 2009 at 3:55 PM
“one example of a democrat suggesting that Al will be seated before he is granted an election certificate. ”
here goes
“If the Canvassing Board declares a winner, that should be our senator,” said the Minnesota Democrat. Even if a court challenge were to follow, she added, “[The Senate] could seat a senator pending the litigation.” — Amy Klobuchar
What do I win?
January 12th, 2009 at 4:23 PM
Yeah, Leroy…Ritchie is FOR ONCE following the law and not making crap up as he goes along.
Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn sometimes.

Tommy, earlier today you attacked Ryan for “ripping” Ellison and McCollum in not supporting Israel. You then came out with your own position supporting Israel.
Now you’re crapping of the DFL poster boy, Harry Reid!
Getting tired of Democrats are you Twoputt?

There was a post linking to a nude male? No wonder danbrome frequents this site.

Sorry, Sen. Cornhole, go back to Texass. The voters of Minnesota already have elected Senator Al Franken. They’re damn sure not going to let Sen. Cornhole from Texass elect our next senator.
Meanwhile, out on the roadways, an officer makes a stop…
Hey Mr. Swift! Can you please walk this white line for me please? After that, touch your nose with your left hand, now your right. OK, now please blow on this. No, not THAT, get your hand off my zipper. Blow on this Breathylizer. OK, Mr. Swift, let’s go downtown–again.

Master of None-
I had missed that quote.
Your prize is me publicly admitting that Klobuchar’s statement is an embarrassment.
January 12th, 2009 at 8:36 PM
Pete..
You say..
“danbrome has down so repeatedly “Leroyâ€. He is a self proclaimed Democrat.”
I AM a proud moderate Democrat, but if I didn’t done so once, then how could I have done so repeatedly?
Can you explain that, you pompous ass?
January 12th, 2009 at 8:39 PM
chili..
“There was a post linking to a nude male? No wonder danbrome frequents this site.”
Can you explain this slanderous remark to the group? What are you getting at?
January 12th, 2009 at 8:52 PM
“Klobuchar’s statement is an embarrassment.”
For her and you.

You know, when you read Tommy Johnson and “swifteeboatee’s” constant obsessing over homoerotic fantasies, and Mr. danbroome’s over the top lunacy I sometimes wonder if MDE hasn’t attracted the attentions of a clic from the Democrat home for gay nutcases.
What is wrong with you people?
January 12th, 2009 at 10:00 PM
I find Two Putz’ whining about dingy Harry to be ironic and hilarious. How many times did Democrats in Congress filibuster President Bush’s judicial nominees and other appointees (like Ambassador to the U.N.)? And how many times did Democrats have to lay on cots and scream for hours on end (a “real” filibuster)?
Harry Reid will be defeated in two years just like Tom Daschle was.

Joe..
With all due respect, I’m not sure we have met. Do you have a problem you would like to discuss with me?
January 13th, 2009 at 7:10 AM
danbrome, dishes it out but can’t take it. What a pussy.
Quit crying you baby. You come on this site and attack eveything and everyone conservative and then whine when you get it back?
danbrome, a perfect example that a degree in rithmetic can be wasted.
January 13th, 2009 at 8:29 AM
danbrome can’t be that stupid. He’s managed to make another thread all about him. When he’s the center of attention he feels like Liza Minnelli.
danbrome is also very trainable. Ashwin Madia was able to get danbrome to all sorts of tricks. Sit, lay down, rollover, beg, play moderate. Also, danbrome is almost house-trained!

Mr. danbrome I respectfully suggest your time would be much better spent discussing problems with a skilled mental health professional.
January 13th, 2009 at 11:33 PM
Joe..
Don’t I deserve to know why you have also chosen to throw bombs my way?
What’s your beef?
January 14th, 2009 at 2:41 PM
danbrome, isn’t it obvious? You, being a good liberal troll, come here to throw bombs at everthing and everyone conservative.
Are you really that dumb to wonder why?
Probably…
