Six months after the election ended with court after court after court all declaring Al Franken the winner Republicans continue to deliberately block democracy and prevent the winner from taking his rightful seat in the Senate. Their strategy is clear. They know they lost but they want to keep the Senate seat vacant for as long as possible so they can continue with their obstructionist practices. As far as the Republicans are concerned to hell with the people of Minnesota and their constitutional right to be represented in the US Senate. I'd ask if the Republicans have no shame but we all already know the answer to that question.

He lost in Florida....Twice!
He then requested manual recounts but strangely enough he only requested they be done in historically Democrat counties.

He didn't drag it out for half a year long after it was abundantly clear he had lost. This makes four successive courts who all have agreed Franken one but Republicans are still trying to block democracy simply to obstruct. It needs to stop.

With the Courts upholding the vote of the citizens of Minnesota....the Repubs attempt to block the doorways to prevent full representation .... should be drawing to a close. They need to get out of the doorways and clear out of the people's halls.

Franken is as big a stooge as Obama; MN has been a Commie state for decades (have you ever actually had the displeasure of meeting anyone from Minnesota?), so what else would you expect from the people who post these kinds of absurd threads?

Shouldn't you be worrying about California's MANY problems instead of Minnesota's?

How long will Coleman "drag it out?". . . as long as possible. As for the "democracy" bit. . . any result that falls within the "margain of error" is unltimatly unreliable, but all the counting and re-counting, and protesting and further re-counting has been done, in a bi-partisan manner, and the results are in. This was NOT a stolen election, like many of us believe happened in Florida, 2000. . . it is time for Franken to be seated!

The gameplan in MN is the same as the one in Florida: Try to to somehow steal it by a Supreme Court ruling, like the neocons did in 2000. It was revealed yesterday that one of the MN Supreme Court justices donated to the Coleman campaign (twice)

Further proof that the Republican Party will do whatever it takes to steal elections. The people who vote Republican these days dont care about Democracy anyway, and their Republican officials they elect know this.

Keep it up GOP, you are further revealed to voters everyday you continue this.
