Gotta wonder about these votes they found for Franken. Especially if you consider they found more votes than there are registered voters in certain areas. Statistically it is a huge imposibility that the newly discovered votes, after the first count, would break for Franken the way they did. This thing smells more fishy than the Dutch haring fleet.
This is worse than stupid... it's unfounded.
They have not found more votes than voters.
Statistically, anyone who understands elections will tell you that only an imbecile asks for a recount if they are republican. There are more democrats than republicans and more independents lean democrat than republican. Those whose votes are most likely to be missed are overwhelmingly democratic voters due to reasons of income and education.
Ergo... ALL recounts discover uncounted votes, but all recounts, overall, find more democratic votes than republican votes. The larger the sample, the larger the skew toward democratic votes.
This is why Bush's handlers had the cunning to do everything in their power to STOP the recount in Florida... Statistics PROVE that, had the recount progressed, Al Gore would have won by several thousand votes.
Regardless, Franken a senator, even if he won legit (which I don't believe for a nano-second), is a joke. Now B. Hussein Obama will have a 60-40 filibuster proof senate. I'm sure the libs are celebrating, but having lived under socialism, having studied history, I am afraid this could be the end of America and its founding principles.
What an imbecile. It takes BRAINS to be a comic. A quick wit. Its why Coulter always ended up looking like a dipshit when up against Franken.
Franken has nearly 50 IQ points on Bush... and god knows how many over Reagan, Gingrich and the most recent republican to embarrass himself with his "promisekeepers" hypocrisy.
Further- you have not studied history if you think the US is in any danger of turning to "socialism"... either that, or you haven't the slightest idea what the fuck socialism is.
The Conservatives spend like drunken sailors when it comes to sailors... army, air force and the like...
Guess what nimrod? The Military is SOCIALISM at work.
Bet you will be standing in line with your fucking hand out for your Social security check when the time comes, too... And you bet your sweet ass when you turn 65 and no private insurer will cover you that you will be demanding lower prescription prices thru medicare... which is a socialized medical system. But which we have because private insurers simply will not cover the people who might need care.
I am sick to death of you republican doofi talking out both sides of your faces.
The members of the legislature, the supreme court and the executive branch get SOCIALIZED health care, for life, without ANY limitations. ANd they have a separate socialized pension plan that is NEVER in danger of underfunding, because they just keep voting it whatever funds it needs...
15 of the 16 zip codes with the LONGEST life span in the US are affluent suburbs of Washington DC... You think that's a fluke?
Grow up and wise up... the Republicans have sold you on a bunch of hogwash they themselves are not even stupid enough to believe.
They are robbing you blind while they make noise about socialism... why? because they are being PAID to.
I never thought this country could bring forth enough whiners and losers who want, nay, expect, the government to take care of them, and actually believe they'll be better off in the process. Now we all will get the same quality healthcare as the VA provides for veterans.
STFU. I know veterans. They actually have gotten good care until the Republicans came to power...
Now we will get to pay taxes through the nose, because no government program ever stays on budget (nor does it ever accomplish what it is supposed to for that matter). Obama, Pelosi, and Reid believe you can keep taxing people who make the economy going. No country in the world has ever taxed and spent itself into prosperity!
You are a moron. We are already paying for healthcare... the only difference is that a large group of greedy fucks who have nothing whatsoever to do with your care are making themselves rich by bribing US politician to back a a huge corporate monopoly.
The government taking over healthcare will actually cost us LESS- because EVERYONE will pay, and because the middlemen taking unwarranted profits will be eliminated.
For example- you would have to be a class A moron to imagine that having Fed Ex or UPS take over mail delivery would result in LOWER postage costs...
Thus far, all the competition in the world has not enabled ANY alternate carrier to beat the USPS at 42 cents per letter.
Know why? Cause the government isn't charging you a profit on mail delivery.
Only a idiot would think Blackwater could perform military operations for less than the Army.
There's a reason we don't let private companies provide you with water, sewer and other essential services... because when you HAVE to buy... like with medical care- competition does not drive pricing lower... when you have to buy, free markets only result in price fixing.
Here's the reason the notion of free markets is only believed by the reason impaired...
In a truly free market the very first thing that happens is that the wealthy use their money to BUY favor and influence and skew the markets to their own benefit.
Which means that the first thing to happen in a free market is market manipulation. Ergo... no free market...
Of course the guys with money back free markets... because THEY understand it means THEY get the power to manipulate the markets and you don't.
Just ask Madoff... the guys at Enron, the guys on Wall Street...
Sure they destroyed the world economy... but man, this past 12 years they have made a KILLING doing so...
ALL those Trillions of dollars that were "lost"- where do you think they went?
Into private accounts of the guys who had all the pull with the republicans...
