Democrats Want To Seat Not-Yet-Elected Al Franken, But Don’t Want To Seat Legally-Appionted Burris

• January 3, 2009

Hypocrisy.

ST. PAUL, Minn. – A top Senate Republican said Friday his caucus would block any attempt to seat the winner of Minnesota’s close election until an anticipated court case is finished and an official election certificate is issued. Pending the counting of hundreds of unopened absentee ballots, Democrat Al Franken holds a 49-vote lead over incumbent Republican Sen. Norm Coleman, whose term expires at noon EST Saturday.
Minnesota’s other senator, Democrat Amy Klobuchar, has said the man with the most votes after the recount concludes should be seated while legal matters play out. Franken hasn’t discussed his intentions.
The new Congress convenes Tuesday. A court challenge and possible appeals could keep the Franken-Coleman contest unsettled for several months. Hundreds of uncounted absentee ballots are due to be opened and examined Saturday, and the Canvassing Board had hoped to wrap up its work by Tuesday.

Whether or not Franken is, in fact, the junior Senator from Minnesota is yet to be seen. There are ballots yet to be counted, and legal challenges yet to be settled. Yet Democrats see no problem with seating him early.
The Democrats, however, are actually threatening to meet Rod Blagojevich’s perfectly legal (if ethically repugnant) appointment to the Senate with armed guards who would deny him his seat.
Just goes to show you how Democrats only follow the law when it’s politically expedient.

I am so disgusted with the voters of Minnesota. Franken should have only received a few votes. (family) But nothing will surprise me after they elected JESSE the BODY to govern our great state.

She said after the votes are counted. Which means to me that they would seat the man who has the most votes while the appeals process plays out that could take a very long time. She also didn’t say that they should seat Franken, but the man with the most votes. It could be Coleman.

Reading comprehension?

Bull, it’s worse than that.

I can understand how a dirty-faced coal miner could get could up in the working class us-versus them Communist rhetoric.

Snark has alluded to working in hard science, something that might involve physics. You would think that with a hard-science background the training would include training the mind to observe, assess and process the data and then come to a reasoned conclusion.

Somehow the continuing and spectacular failures of socialism worldwide, again and again, and the blood that it has spilled from the first time the blade of a guillotine fell across the neck of a Class Enemy, have completely escaped the observation of Snark and people like him.

Lack of education cannot be an excuse in that case.

I can only conclude that it is a massive case of self-deception. The erection of perceptual filters. A perceptual osmotic membrane, if you will… a cognitive Gore-Tex(tm) that only allows the Party Line in and filters out everything that challenges Core Dogma.

Thus, they cannot be sane, not in the accepted meaning of the term. Orwell explained this dementia and called it DoubleThink — the ability to believe two contradictory concepts at the same time. Others, such as psychologists have explored this mental disorder in greater depth.

like most people who have substituted the habit of delusion for reality, they became hysterical whenever the root of their delusion was touched, and reacted with a violence that completely belied the openness of mind which they prescribed for others.

For instance, they constantly harp on perceived wrongs and oppressions committed by a monolithic, patriarchal, Western society and / or government. They turn a blind eye to the good that has been produced in our somewhat chaotic free society, and more importantly are fiercely self-blinded to the very real and bloody, and indeed, ongoing oppressions committed by the Free World’s enemies.

- Before WWII, they constantly sided with the Bolsheviks. They continued to side with Lenin and then Stalin, and still later, any dictator who’d managed to shimmy to the top of the greased flagpole of the Kremlin. So much so, that these home-grown traitors gave the Soviets the plans to the Hyrdogen bomb and many, many other vital Western secrets (Rosenberg, Greenglass and Chambers, etc…)

Norwood, a lifelong devotee of Soviet-style communism, said that her late husband Hilary, a teacher, had not approved of her actions. As she turned to go indoors, she was asked if she had any regrets and she replied: “No, no, no“.

- During Vietnam, when the South Vietnamese, the Cambodians and Laotians were fighting — literally — for their lives, the Liberals sided with those who would later slaughter them in great numbers and oppress the survivors — the Soviets and the Red Chinese Communists, as well as Uncle Ho (Chi Mihn)

- In Southern Africa, Kennedy, Jackson and all other Leftards sided with those, again, would be mass murderers, the ZANU, ZAPU, SWAPO and other Marxist-backed terrorist movements.

- In Central America, they sided with Castro, Che, and every other Leftist murderer who waived a Red Star or Hammer and Sickle.

- In the Middle East, they continue to side with the likes of Saddam Hussein and the PLO.

And yet, they consider themselves to represent freedom and peace and love???? All the while, consistently taking the side of violent, murdering dictators. Yet they consider themselves as morally superior — enlightened, in their parlance — to Conservatives, whom they deem to be evil.

So you see, if I worked security where Snark worked, I would watch him very closely and ensure that he had nothing greater than a FOUO (For Official Use Only) clearance.

While he might have a capability of working a mathematical equation, his written thoughts show that he is capable of treason, in the same manner numerous spies betrayed the West before him.

seriously, why is this taking so f’ing long?

Simple; The Libs involved with the process must wait for orders from the DNC, plus you can’t just hide fake ballots and then “find” them, you have to give them time to acquire the illusion of having been “lost” in the first place. Then there’s the Coleman campaign, too little too late trying to figure out what happened to them and in the grand tradition of the Republican party, take it in the ass for lack of the balls to fight for the seat…

The illusion of aboveboard doesn’t create itself overnight, ya know…

Sparkie needs to demand a refund, Hooked on Phonics apparently didn’t work for him.

Doesn’t he claim he went to college?

Zig, I noticed long ago that for a wannabe intellectual Sparkie’s not quite measuring up. He really should avoid words with more than 1 or 2 syllables. His moronism shows when he uses anything bigger than that.

Maybe if he stuck to simple grunting noises, with an occasional gesture…nah, he’d still figure some way to end up looking like a moron. He’s beyond hopeless and too stupid to realize it.

Here’s a sample of his idea of how an intellectual writes:

This is my basic position. Our ability to structure the past into narratives, however basic, has to do with time. Time is a sort of basic narrative. They are both related to causation, or progression, or flow, or whathaveyou. But there sure is some flow. Why we should place emphasis on certain portions of this is interesting. We need to discriminate a portion, an individual… be it a second, a minute, or a â€˜trip to the grocery store’. So how do we come to chop it up? Light dark light dark… winter summer, and so on. These individuals, so to speak, are arbitrary, no? The intuition is that they are natural. Animals â€˜set their clock’ to them.

Here’s the catch for me. We, somewhat like time, somewhat unlike it, are individuals… perhaps with arbitrary boundaries… which also must be â€˜cut out’ from this flow. The things we perceive must be TAKEN AS some sort of individual too. We treat things as particles, or waves…. but particles plus temporality are some sort of â€˜tube’ thing. What we can figure out has to do with the numbers we put into our equations, but it also has to be the relational forms and schemas we devise to put the numbers into. This latter part, pre number, is important… and inherently related to the numbers and how they work. One half of that reciprocity is ignored often.

Yesiree, there sure is some of that there flow going on, or whathaveyou…

Too f’n funny!

Intellectual, my ass. He’s barely able to tie his own shoes if that drivel is any sign of his mental ability.

So much for ‘self-proclaimed’ intellectuals…

Hey Bull,

You’ll have to cut Snarky a huss.

All that use of recreational narcotics, to include some of the stuff folks aren’t supposed to inhale, readily available under the average kitchen sink, have resulted in his apparent inability to objectively process and understand the world around him.

At this point, he can’t help himself.
