So he's basically crashing and burning in his bid. Did anybody NOT see that coming a mile away?

Gahhh. What a douche.

Wait...I mean, what kind of Freeper assh*le submitted this...aw, dammit. We hate him, too.

/kinda liked the Stuart Smalley movie, though
/or was it the "It's Pat!" movie--gets them confused

Oh yes Al should be shaking in his shoes that Veterans (a very conservative group) dont want to come out to hear the views of a very liberal candidate. Next I bet Fox News will be gloating that Obama's attempt to get the Klan vote is poorly attended.

I haven't read the article yet, but since it's the St. Cloud Times and someone in the thread mentioned veterans, was it my dad that showed up?

franken doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of actually winning anything in this senate race. he's just another liberal wackjob that thinks that just because he prints books and was a writer on a humorous show a looong time ago, thart anyone actually cares what he has to say. franken, frankly, has lost all relevance in this day and age, and is really just a sad man desperately seeking attention. come to think about it, this could be just one grand way of promoting his failing books. you disgust me al franken, good day sir.

Seriously. The good people of Minnesota know what they want out of a person running for public office. If you weren't in "Predator" or at the very least the WWF, they want nothing to do with you.

There are veterans who are conservative and veterans who are liberal. But doubt that veterans as a group are "very conservative".

Actually, there are many candidates that I bet would have just blown it off if it was one guy at a cafe, maybe just stay 5 minutes just to not look bad or whatever. He stayed a full hour and gave the guy his full attention. How is that not cool?

I really have no idea if Franken deserves to be Senator, but I think it's telling that no one carping on him is talking about how great Coleman is and how much he's done for MN.

So he's basically crashing and burning in his bid.

WOW, you're ignorant.

7/23 (latest poll I can find) -
Franken leads Coleman 49-46% when leaners are included. Without leaners it is Coleman by 1 point, 44-43%

Franken's support has stayed between 43% and 45% in five straight polls. Coleman's support had been in the 46% to 50% range for five straight polls conducted from February through June. However, his support has been lower in a pair of July polls.

- Rasmussen (^)

I love that "1proudneocon's" link goes to the wiikipedia page about Oscars--not about "Trading Places." Yes, it's true--Oscars actually exist!

Further research reveals the Oscar it was nominated--"Best Score." Which means someone besides con liked...the score.

Hard to believe he's a republican, eh?

Lengthy? Two farking sentences? Did you read the comic book versions of great classic novels as a kid and complain about it?

My link did not prove that what I liked was good. It proved that others liked what I liked.

You obviously have chosen to accept the caricature of liberals created by conservative radio talk show hosts, rather than actually engage in discussion with actual liberals.

It is the easier route, after all.

no, actually i know a good many liberals personally. And although they are different, the think in a similar manner. I think you all missed the point of my sarcasm.

Not surprised at all actually. Why would I take offense to that and what gave you the idea that I'm surprised that you think i'm a douche? Liberals don't like my position on issues. So what? Some liberals react to me by providing robust, stimulating debate, proving that even though we differ idealogically, can converse in a mature manner, others call me a douche. This is nothing new.

*sigh* I'm being sarcastic about the fact that you judged my by my name, saying that because of it, you would do the exact opposite of whatever I said. I simply pointed out that that was neither a tolerant nor accepting view of sombody who is different than you, a quality that is a cornerstone of those with a liberal mindset.

You don't understand politics as well as you would like to think then. Seasons change. The democrat party was voted out of the majority of congress in the 90's, and now they controll congress again. I could easily have said back then that nobody is ever gonna think that way again, so just drop your beliefs and become a republican. That didn't happen, the democrats stuck to their guns and are now back in power. The same will happen again one day for the conservative movement. However if it doesn't, I will still hold my core values and will not be swayed. And I'll have something intelligent to say to sombody who disagrees with me, instead of simply calling him/her a douche.
