Al Franken is the sort of person we need in Congress. He is worth a dozen Norm Colemen.
I have seen no proof that Al Franken cheated.He was clearly the best candidate.
The latest revelations that illegal votes may have given Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) his 312-vote margin of victory in his 2008 Senate race—out of the nearly 3 million votes cast—gives one pause. The fact that 243 people have already been convicted or are awaiting trial on voter fraud underscores a persistent concern that, despite their small share of the vote, ineligible ballots can actually swing results.
"Who's Counting?", a new book by conservative journalist John Fund and former Bush Justice Department official Hans von Spakovsky. Although the authors cover the whole range of voter fraud issues, their chapter on Minnesota is enough to convince any skeptic that there are times when voter fraud not only exists but can be critical to the outcome of a critical race....................................Fund and von Spakovsky report, 177 people have been convicted -- not just accused, but convicted -- of voting fraudulently in the Senate race. Another 66 are awaiting trial. "The numbers aren't greater," the authors say, "because the standard for convicting someone of voter fraud in Minnesota is that they must have been both ineligible, and 'knowingly' voted unlawfully." The accused can get off by claiming not to have known they did anything wrong. Still, that's a total of 243 people either convicted of voter fraud or awaiting trial in an election that was decided by 312 votes. With 1,099 examples identified by Minnesota Majority, and with evidence suggesting that felons, when they do vote, strongly favor Democrats, it doesn't require a leap to suggest there might one day be proof that Al Franken was elected on the strength of voter fraud. And that's just the question of voting by felons. Minnesota Majority also found all sorts of other irregularities that cast further doubt on the Senate results........................
If their enemys were dead or sufficiently crippled , they would not need a lot of aid. That is the cheap out for the US.===================================================The US will not exterminate 77 million Iranians.When Japan finally surrendered in 1945, there were very few males between 15 and 70. But we still had to occupy the country and set up a government and spend a lot of money.A war with Iran would be worse for the US than an Iran with nukes.
No one is going to lay down their arms.
If we confiscated everyone's guns, no one would ever get shot.
How about that for a context?
