Franken: Senate Victory 'Incredibly Humbling'

[djsliptide]

Hey look!

Nobody agrees with anybody else!

I love the internet!

[joeasmythe]

franken got out of the nut house ?? Can't recognize him without his clown suit. WTF, how did this POS ever get elected?

[KMAN6000]

I would have preferred Dean Barkley

[Wrbhoover]

I would love to have Senator Franken as my senator. He is a great American who will speak the truth.

[almetcalf]

It's not over till it's over. This guy is a lying scumbag. Go here, a CNN article which is hardly a bastion of conservatism and see how Franken stole this election. Is this what we really want in a politician? (WorldWideWeb) cnn (dot)com/2009/POLITICS/01/27/c­astellanos (dot)minnesota/index(dot)html?­iref=mpstoryview

[digitalcntrl]

Give me a break your article is authored by a republican strategist.

[almetcalf]

Yea, well, Google it and see that it is all true. Look, I think a lot of conservatives are liars too, (I'm a constitutionalist so both sides suck as far as I am concerned but i do not want one party that close to filibuster proof, it would be a disaster) but you liberals just can't deal with reality when it comes to your guys no matter how screwed up they are. I mean, Franken, come on. Are you guys serious. He is in left field just way out there man.

[digitalcntrl]

Whoever said I was a liberal? I am not a fan of Franken, though Coleman is no better in my view. I am just sick of Coleman perpetually dragging out this confrontation for some longshot, at least Al Gore had the decency to throw in the towel to let the country move on. Coleman seems to have no problem screwing his supposed constiuents because of his ego.

[Zumzammim]

He will follow the TALMUD and bankrupt Minnesota and support Israel in every matter while America burns!

[digitalcntrl]

And Norm Coleman won't?? They are both equally supportive of Israel.

[wojiwodj]

good luck, third way guy's

[rsouthan]

Don't know how Franken will be as a "leader," but he's certainly a boring public speaker. What a bland, cliched acceptance speech! Franken bobs back and forth like a robot; he looks like he's putting himself to sleep.

[flyboymd82]

Over 25 precients up there now have more votes counted in them than they have registered voters.

Democrats = corruption to the core.

[yargdpirate]

wow youre dumb to think that was all/mostly democrats. For all you know, the first vote count could have been corrupted by republicans and fixed with this recount. you're such a typical knee-jerk, first-emotional response Republican.

[flyboymd82]

Am I?? Its "You're" dumbass! You call ME 'dumb'?? LOL!

Tell me what you know about the recount genius. I'd like to hear it. YOU'RE the dumbass libtard liar who, quite clearly has no idea what he/she's talking about!

Go face east and pray to Obama. He'll save you.

[yargdpirate]

This has nothing to do with Obama. The issue is that you assume that one side is corrupt. I admittedly don't know too many facts about the recount, but I doubt you do. I doubt you have evidence that definetly finds corruption by the democrats in the recount. Not LIKELY, but DEFINETLY. Unless the evidence shows beyond a shade of a doubt corruption came from the democrats you just can't assume that . What you did, obviously, was hear some circumstantial evidence and blamed it on liberals,as usual

[Nightbane12]

Republicans are not corrupted....democrats are not corrupted...but politicians....politicians are pretty much all corrupted, there are just a few who hide it better than others.

[antoniusalta]

I know, I know, I know, everybody thinks of Al from the 1990s as a comic writer on Saturday Night Live (SNL). But Al has chutzpah! He may (God-willing) follow in the steps of his predecessors Hubert Humphrey and Paul Wellstone. He will never fill their shoes, but Senator Franken will also not be a schmuck like turncoats Norm Coleman and Joe Lieberman. FRANKEN IS A LIBERAL, PURE!

[churchillcompany]

Liberals cheated? Oh, you mean by counting all the votes and such. Take a knee loser.

[proxiepox]

He cheated by recounting 50 times in order to get 1 instance where he was ahead so he could claim victory. It is a horrible molestation of the democratic process.

[winthiswar]

Liberals cheat again :/

[ournewthing]

Franken will do well. I'm a democrat, and just know that in close elections requring a recount, Republicans are always fucked.

That's the way it is.

[antoniusalta]

This election was painstakingly recounted, unlike the Florida presidential result of 2000. Remember what happened? Bush's brother Jeb (then-Gov of FL) suppressed recounting, and eventually what happened was suspension of counting the evidence, when the GOP-packed U.S. Supreme Court simply was bought off. THINK WHAT HAPPENEED TO AMERICA AFTER THAT! 3 TRILLION DOLLARS BURNED IN IRAQ! Wasted! Economic collapse. The Bush family owes our Nation a huge huge debt!

[P3rf3ctStorm]

I'd rather have Bill Murray as Senator...

[tbonealaska]

Your good enough, your smart enough, but not everybody likes you. I don't really like your politics, but I think you are an alright guy. Please don't forget about those you encouraged back when you were on SNL. Peace and blessings to you and your family.

[FugitiveCon]

OMG!! This is so wrong on so many levels!

All Conservatives will get the last laugh as we watch the big platform of lies implode. It is the Conservatives turn to ride democrats at every turn & ankle bite & second guess every move.

Pull up a chair, get your popcorn b/c a show about change is about to begin.

HOLY CRAP!!

[GnomesAmok]

a show about change? pull up your chair and popcorn? either youre fucking around, or youre trying to prove how witless republicans are

[FugitiveCon]

It wasn't meant to be witty, DORK!!

[GnomesAmok]

HOLY CRAP!! DORK!!!

what are you even babbling about chairs and popcorn and the "Change" show and platforms of lies and levels and ankle biting if youre not trying to insert some amount of wit into your intellectually void diatribe

[FugitiveCon]

It was a comment I made, and held more exasperation for me than wit, DORK!!

[GnomesAmok]

im wondering if in your day to day interactions with people, when someone rebukes some bullshit youve had to say, your only recourse is to shout "DORK!!" at them

the depressing part is your probably perfectly comfortable with being such a brainless twit

[FugitiveCon]

Well, maybe when "someone" rebukes what I have to say rather than debate me my reply containing WIT, I might come up with something other than dork, DORK!!

[FugitiveCon]

Do you actually think you rebuked my comment by judging it's wit?

LMAO!!

[GnomesAmok]

i was rebuking all the little nuances you lined your comment with, not the comment itself, though ill get to that in a moment. you see, finishing every sentence with a capitalized word and saying stuff like "us conservatives shall have the last laugh as the ship of lies sinks into the depths of the deception ocean!" does nothing to puncuate your argument, and actually goes to show how you know so little about what youre talking about that you pad every comment with filler dialogue.

[FugitiveCon]

Who are you quoting because that wasn't what I said.

Are you taking your medications?

All Conservatives will get the last laugh as we watch the big platform of lies implode. It is the Conservatives turn to ride Obama at every turn & ankle bite & second guess Obama's every move & make his time in the White House as miserable as the left did to Bush.

Pull up a chair, get your popcorn b/c a show about change is about to begin.

[GnomesAmok]

i was quoting you, but making you look like an idiot at the same time. see how "us conservatives shall have the last laugh as the ship of lies sinks into the depths of the deception ocean" sounds just as retarded as "All Conservatives will get the last laugh as we watch the big platform of lies implode"? whether its a lie platform, a ship of lies, or a bottle of lie-sauce, the point is you come up with stupid phrases about the lies instead of defining to all of us just exactly what those lies ar

[FugitiveCon]

Congratulations! That is the dumbest response I have ever gotten on YouTube!!

Obama's entire platform of CHANGE is LIES!!

[GnomesAmok]

okay, again with the platform of lies, but need to try for a little specifitivity. you have to elaborate on what exactly you think is a lie, otherwise youre just shouting nonsense.

example; 'Obama is a liar! These are all the things he lied about! There was this thing, and this thing, and that thing! And we know they were all lies because blahdy blah did an investigation to show blah blah blah, and heres my valid source of information to prove it!"

see how much your response is missing?

[FugitiveCon]

You want me to write a dissertation on Youtube??

[GnomesAmok]

it doesnt require a dissertation. if you are going to call someone a liar, you have to have some information supporting your claim, or at the very least a few examples. simple as that. but you and i both know nothing youve said about Obama has any basis in factual evidence, and thats why you can't provide any.

[FugitiveCon]

Obama says, "Selma March Got Me Born" - NOT EXACTLY, his parents felt safe enough to have him in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google'Obama Selma ' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

[FugitiveCon]

He says he'll be tough on terrorism...Obama missed the Iran Resolution vote on terrorism and his good friend Ali Abunimah supports the destruction off Israel.

[FugitiveCon]

The University of Chicago Law School provided him with a fellowship and an office to work on his book. The book took him a lot longer

than expected and at the end it devolved into, guess what?

His own autobiography! Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self.

He entitled the book "Dreams from My Father."

He is the most narcissistic president-elect I have ever seen!

[FugitiveCon]

Obama's lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month. A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii , and who has raised nearly a half billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother. Why? His brother cannot be used for his ascent to power. A narcissist cares

for no one but himself.

[GnomesAmok]

lol listen to yourself, even if any of that nonsense were true (which its not) you said Obama's platform was lies, not narcissim. even if he was full of himself, which im positive hes not, that wouldnt make him a liar

now lets try again

you maintain Obama's "platform" is made of lies. a platform entails political positions like health care, monetary policy and national security. youve sniped at his personal life enough, now try some substance, where are the lies??

[FugitiveCon]

Did you not look up "Selma March got me born?" That was a lie.

Him being tough on terrorism is a lie. We will all be waiting and will all see the big platform of lies IMPLODE: for ex., healthcare (not going to happen).

Voting "present" instead of having convictions on something is cowardly and narcissistic.

I hope you are the first one to sign up for the Civilian National Security Force and the mandatory national Civil Service that Rahm talked about.

[FugitiveCon]

you maintain Obama's "platform" is made of "lies. a platform entails political positions like health care, monetary policy and national security. youve sniped at his personal life enough, now try some substance, where are the lies??"

That's where watching the platform of lies implode means....he hasn't taken office and the many political positions will not come about b/c they were LIES!!

[GnomesAmok]

im going to lay this out for you in one last comment

political positions do not "come about"

an example of Obama lying about something would be if he said there would be no new taxes, and then came out with a new tax plan. or if he promised social security reform, and then planned to increae the social services budget instead.

sweetheart, you should probably just admit youre out of your element here and leave it at that. the more nonsense you regurgetate, the sillier you look.

[FugitiveCon]

I'm going to lay this out for you in one last comment: I NEVER said that political positions "come about." OK, let me go really slow, read this twice if you have to b/c you are having a really hard time grasping this...

We conservatives will have the last laugh WHEN the platform of lies IMPLODE (in the future).....See, we all heard his campaign rhetoric and now dems control it all and we will enjoy watching those "promises" FAIL!!

[2528997]

Those promises will "fail" because people like you will help it fail.

[FugitiveCon]

Puulease!!

The democrats control it all and nothing it's all them now!

[GnomesAmok]

dumb cunt

[FugitiveCon]

You are so articulate!

[GnomesAmok]

im aware, you witless fuck. but thnx anyways

[FugitiveCon]

Do yourself a favor and purchase a dictionary and a thesaurus and educate yourself on how to better express yourself and expand your very limited vocabulary.

[flyboymd82]

LOL! Good job making a fool out of Gnomes Fugitive!

They always end the debate with nasty name calling don't they??

How typical of a frustrated and beatdown libtard!

[FugitiveCon]

I take it that you are following my instructions and reading that last comment really slow.

I hope you understand that conservatives laughter will come in the FUTURE..

In the meantime, don't get too crunk on that Kool-aid!! LOL!!

[FugitiveCon]

If an issue was raised in the Senate did not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it. The "Present" vote is a safe vote; he used the "Present" all the time as a member of the Illinois legislature. No one can criticize him if things go wrong. Why should he implicate himself in issues that may become controversial when they don't help him personally? Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are

not about him.

[GnomesAmok]

lol not only did you complete skate the question i asked and go into this whole narcisism bit, you didnt have the dignity to think of it yourself. 'sources' does not equate to copying editorials word for word

i took the liberty of running this paragraph and the other two through a google search,

and low and behold, you ripped every word from 20 different websites containing the exact same paragraphs.

if you had any knowledge of Obamas politics, you wouldnt go Googling for answers

[FugitiveCon]

What I copied about the narcissism was written by a LEADING psychologist, and it is true...

Once again, how can I give you sources about his political positions when he isn't in office yet? That's where watching the platform of lies implode means....he hasn't taken office and the many political positions will not come about b/c they were LIES!!

[FugitiveCon]

You wanted facts, I can't give you facts from the future, but once again I revert to my original comment that you felt the need to debate it's wittiness with me:

CONTINUED...

[FugitiveCon]

Dumbocrats control it all soon. CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT!

All Conservatives will get the last laugh as we watch the big platform of lies implode. It is the Conservatives turn to ride Obama at every turn & ankle bite & second guess Obama's every move & make his time in the White House as miserable as the left did to Bush.

Pull up a chair, get your popcorn b/c a show about change is about to begin.

[FugitiveCon]

WOW!! Low and behold, I just put your comment from another thread in the goggle search and guess what??

WORD FOR WORD!!

You wrote this one another thread:

"A Minnesota board has certified results showing Democrat Al Franken winning the state's U.S. Senate recount over Republican Norm Coleman, whose lawyer promises a legal challenge that could keep the race in limbo for months."

WORD FOR WORD COPY!!!!

[FugitiveCon]

You want footnotes as well?

[furloph]

Wait....why was this man elected?

[cdltpx]

He has been certified what more do you want him to sacrifice his first born on an alter to prove he is ready to do the job?

[flyboymd82]

Another Democrat liar, thief, cheat, tax evader, lowlife scumbag in our Congress, Yehaaa!!

Time to start a revolution and take this Country back. The Democrats are out of fucking CONTROL!! This needs to be taken to the Supreme Court! This is ELECTION FRAUD plain and clear! So was Obama's election.

[GnomesAmok]

Oh please with 'revolution' when YOUR party is the one in the pockets of all the really powerful people, we are the ones who need to 'take this country' back from fascists like you!

and Obama's election a fraud? you should refrain from such stupid statements, but i appreciate an obvious tell to let me know how full of shit you are.

ugh, how could anyone take you nutjobs seriously. this kind of shit is why Obama won LEGITMATELY, this country is tired of you fuckers!

[flyboymd82]

You got to be kidding me?? You call US "fascists"?? LOL! OMG I guess you think you have the market cornered on Psychology too huh??

Yeah Obama won legit huh?? The freaking media HID everything about his shady past while making up absolute LIES about McCain/Palin. He recieved over 200Million in illegal overseas donations which were untraceable. He didn't disclose his College records, medical records, tax records, selective service records or birth certificate!

Dems are corrupt to the core!

[GnomesAmok]

all those question marks really lends credence to your rhetoric, right??? not quite. even if all that bullshit about illegal records and the media "hiding" stuff were true, thats stuff that influenced his win that you think did so illegally, which files under spin doctoring not election fraud you brainless fuck.

which is beside the point anyway, since all that stuff is bullshit that you havnt a shred of evidence to back up. come with sources before you shell out the rhetoric, idiot

[flyboymd82]

Rhetoric??? No, FACTS! Disprove anything I said you stupid brainwashed fool!

Funny you say that about question marks then use three of them yourself, as if it means anything.

What 'sources' would you like smart guy?? I'd be happy to prove everything I said. Your a lot like Obama, talk a lot yet say NOTHING!

I have facts on my side. You have nothing but BULLSHIT on your side.

BTW genius, your supposed to capitalize the first letter of the first word of a sentence.

[GnomesAmok]

lol disprove? you think that debate is you saying whatever inane claims you wish and then the burden is on everyone else to prove you wrong, instead of you proving yourself right? thats not how it works dumbass. if you say Obama lied about his records, or that the media lied about him or anyone else, you have to prove that they did, i dont have to prove that they didnt. get it now?

but since youre so happy to prove everything, then why dont you just shut up and do it. out with your 'sources'

[FugitiveCon]

You are a freakin' idiot. Can you say anything intellegent? I do not think that debate is you saying whatever inane claims you wish and then the burden is on everyone else to prove you wrong, instead of you proving yourself right...the only thing you commented on was it's wit, or lack thereof.

Why did you BLOCK flyboymd82?

[GnomesAmok]

i never block anyone, and in an attempt to get flyboy to answer the question and not get side tracked, im going to just pretend you didnt take something i said to someone else and imagine i said it you

[FugitiveCon]

"im going to just pretend you didnt take something i said to someone else and imagine i said it you"

Whatever gave you the impression that I thought the comment was directed to me. THAT IS WHY I mentioned flyboy.

You are one unintellegent 27 year old!!

[GnomesAmok]

"Whatever gave you the impression that I thought the comment was directed to me"

maybe i got the impression you thought i directed something to you when you explicitly stated that i did

"I do not think that debate is you saying whatever inane claims you wish and then the burden is on everyone else to prove you wrong, instead of you proving yourself right..."

i didnt say you did, fuckwit, i was talking to Flyboy

p.s., its spelled 'intelligent'

[FugitiveCon]

I was just joining in and I KNEW it was to Flyboy, which is why I asked you why you blocked him!!

This is YouTube and if I spelled a word incorrectly, oh well. You want to debate grammar and spelling now genius?

I's are ALWAYS capitalized, as well as the the frist letters in words that begin a sentence.

"i was quoting you, but making you look like an idiot at the same time." - a comma doesn't go after you in this case because what you follow with is not a complete sentence.

[GnomesAmok]

the point is i didnt block anyone, and Flyboy isnt responding to this anymore because he said he could prove all his bullshit claims and he knows he cant.

and i was only pointing out the irony in you calling me unintelligent yet not being able to spell the word intelligent

[FugitiveCon]

Do you really think that it was my inability to spell the word correctly?

Why are you even replying to me about minute details?

[fladeacon]

It's amazing how ALL the recount decisions went Franken's in the recount process. With many districts now reporting more votes cast than they have registered voters, how come no major media is reporting on the irregularities. I guess if you're a democrap then your crap doesn't stink, does it? I know I'm not smelling roses here...

[Gina2NYC]

Remember this year. This is the year free democracy and the media died.

[rx7mansh]

The antichrist will do anything to get into power

[GnomesAmok]

youre a looney!

[biggerflexible]

Don't buy the plane ticket to D.C. yet.

[gungagin]

Congrats Al Franken! I wish you the best of luck!

[flybirdgo]

tool

[Treha1da]

what content in this video or what he said makes him a tool?

[ninanwk69]

LMAO AL Franken...a comedian and a democrap. Hmm, whats missing?...ahh yes, the circus tent!

[Squirelbutt]

Theres a circus tent its called congress.

[ninanwk69]

I thought they were the animals who do tricks

[GnomesAmok]

'ninawk69's' wit is an embarassing failure
