Both Booted? You don't believe in democracy? Are you unpatriotic? At last count Franken was ahead by 312 votes... The three panal judge stated that Franken had won. Coleman has the right to appeal but the last I read is that his latest appeal that to the Minnesota Supreme Court will be his last and all probability the Supreme Court will declare Franken the winner like it or not. Pawlenty will then have no choice but to certify and therefore Franken wll be seated. I look for this to happen within 4 weeks or less.

I agree - why do you choose to be that way?

So which is it? You claimed 0.6% black. Now you claim there are none. Confused much?

I'll scream at "ignorant racist rednecks" whenever I want. You included. Where I live has no bearing.

Seriously - what is your problem?

I don't sound pathetic at all. franken doesn't bother me, he entertains me. wasington is a joke, and the joke isn't partisan.
Are you in freaking 5th grade on recess?
Why would you assume that because Idahogie lives in Idaho Falls that he does not have any knowledge about race relations? Maybe he has a few friends of color and/or he's done some homework and/or has lived in other places with more diversity before. All you need is one or two friends to hang with and that may enlighten you.
This post got me fired up since it's mindless right wing crap that I see on here way too much.

We do indeed. Unfortunately, they stay well hidden because of insane conservative policies regarding immigration. They essentially live in squatter's camps with no protections or oversight. The huge agri-giant corporations who profit from the situation make sure that they stay undiscovered.

It truly is sad that these corporate ag giants use these poor folks for their bottom line. I can imagine the type of living conditions these farm laborers live in, probably squalor? Kind of like Walmart supporting sweat shops overseas, same thing...

More than five months after losing the election, they continue to stall.

In 2000, Bush was certified about six weeks after that disputed election, in which he lost the popular vote, but was seated by a 5-4 supreme court decision.

I wonder why the Democrats didn't stall that one for 5+ months with appeals and legal wrangling. Yet it's Republicans who often gripe about "lawyers getting in the way"...

Stick a fork in him. Coleman's done.

why are you using republican examples? I am a borderline anarchist. I hate the republicans, but right now, they aren't in power.
