What is a joker doing running for the US Senate in Minnesota? It is a state that has some very odd views if their elected officials are any indication (Jesse Ventura). A state comprised until the 1990s of German/Dutch laborers who raised families and worked hard to move up socio-economically - it is still quite odd that a joker like Franken could be considered a possible Senator from the Democratic party.
Looking at the demographics, Republicans would be the odd man out, but still - Franken? You would think that people in Minnesota would have tired of the odd.
Franken, who attempts to malign Norm Coleman every chance he gets - connections to Bush, Cheney, lies someone told at some time, his support for the war in Iraq, his ties to Haliburton, his support for big oil, his voting for the destruction of the planet, and Satan ... all part of the attack pattern. You can't trust Coleman because of: [insert one of the above].
It's easy using the bogeymen of the left: Bush, Cheney, Haliburton, Iraq, lies, oil. Throw them at someone and watch them duck, but what if they have no connection to anything in particular, how should Coleman respond? Pretty much how he does respond, but the lack of an answer only fuels Franken's attack and becomes proof he is in bed with evil.
I love the methodology. So 1950s. In fact, it was during the Cold War that the Supreme Court, in a decision on communist spies/sympathizers said something to the effect that - the fact there is no evidence IS EVIDENCE that there is a conspiracy. However much Franken would like to distance himself from that method of attack, for it was the liberal base that argued, rightly at times, that the logic was deeply mistaken - HE IS USING THE SAME ATTACK against Coleman.
Yet, confront Franken about issues: his failure to pay worker's compensation or carry worker's compensation insurance, and then ignore the twelve letters sent to him regarding a $25,000 fine .... Franken failed to answer.
Franken responds to that issue by saying he had moved from New York and had not known about the letters. Here is a hint at the truth: Find out how many people had control over the letters: Al, his wife, and two assistants. 4 people and two were married to each other. Does his wife not speak to him about $25,000 fines? Is that something so insignificant an amount that they routinely ignore requests to pay? That is what they expect people in Minnesota to believe. OR another theory Franken offers - the two assistants took the mail and destroyed all twelve letters, while his wife was off getting her nails done or doing something more important!! That is exactly the way businesses all work - an assistant controls the business and the owner/proprietor knows nothing about the issue.
Doesn't work this way unless they are so incompetent as to have no control of their money or property. He is passing the buck and ignoring responsibility YET he wants the people of Minnesota to send him to Washington to play with your money and take responsibility - two things he has shown he cannot do.
The people of Minnesota deserve better than Jesse Ventura and Al Franken. Norm Coleman may be a member of the retardican party, but he is not as irresponsible and hateful as Al Franken, and he will not pass the buck.
