You know that you're a tool, right? The conservative movement knows that they can spew lies, and tools like you will spread them around without thinking too much.

Gore has one house. It is large, because it's also a business. He has a staff of a dozen or so. And he uses carbon offsets to help decrease his footprint. Gore has never claimed that a person can have zero carbon footprint, or must live in a cave. So that's an asinine straw man argument.

Please try and learn - rather than just mouth hatred that you've been taught.

Provide a link. All the news I saw during the election was that ACORN was turning over questionable registrations to the authorities, just as they were supposed to do. And dumb-as-rocks wingnuts were jumping up and down like monkeys shouting "ACORN is registering martians!" I also saw a zillion wingnut blog posts about it, spreading the same stupid lies. So no, I won't Google it - you made the claim - you back it up.

This is what makes the wingnut such a fun little animal to play with. They can write a paragraph like the above without even realizing just how idiotic they sound - making fun of Franken for being from out-of-state, when Norm Coleman is also from out-of-state. It's amazing how they can spew the most asinine stuff without realizing it!

I'm sure you're right. Individual workers. Probably turned in by ACORN. But even if they weren't, your comments about ACORN are as stupid as saying that every member of a company is guilty because the stockboy is stealing office supplies.

Educate yourself. Stop being blinded by the dumbest talking points. I'm pretty sure that you are smarter than that.

I don't care anything about Dem or Repubs. Coleman is a loser, and a complete jerk on a very personal basis. He takes after his father who was arrested at age 80+ for receiving oral sex in a parking lot. I worked with Coleman - and, believe me, he takes after his father, not to mention that he will do anything (as he is very well presently demonstrating) to win. That's OK. He's hanging himself royally.

It would be just as fair to give Coleman (if he really had less votes than Franken) the seat as to what has happened to Stevens...

Stevens was cleared on a technicality, not because he was innocent.

Also, it took a Democrat to recognize that the law had not been followed during Steven's trial.

Coleman is ruining whatever might have been left of his political career because he is not man enough to concede and he is taking Pawlenty down with him.
