Sen. Franken Delivers Speech on Proposed Senate Abortion Amendment

[iFarbs]

i wish this dumbass republican idiot would just get off of this video and go masturbate to sarah palin.

[hoz49]

The data shows making abortion illegal increases crime in 15-18 years. The "un-aborted" children as a rule, have less education, less opportunities and are raised in unloving homes. The odds are, grow up to become criminals.

On the whole a woman knows if she is capable of raising a child. Women should have the choice, not governments.

[SeanT228]

@hoz49 thanks, we got the ghee whiz from freaknomics. I dont need a religion or government to know that an assault on a pregnant woman is worse than if she wasnt. Ur right that gov shouldnt be choosing individual choices, but gov should do is protect individuals' rights, unfortunately the supreme ct has interpreted "person" as a being outside of a woman's womb, thereby preventing the extention of 14th Amd rights to the unborn; I thnk the unborn have rights, & I dont need a JD 2 know that either

Simpleton Franken

What were you thinking Minnesota ?

[mstaff657]

Simpleton Al  Franken

that title fits much better that Senator !

[killgoretrout81]

i must say that i find it funny that if someone had said that about a republican senator... then you'd demand the respect due the office. Al Franken is certainly not a simpleton. he has a tendency to be very astute and can cleverly turn a phrase. but of course you don't see that, because you take yoiur cues from Bill O'Reilly, Glenn Beck, Sean Hannity, and the rest of the fox coterie of friends. how about you cite a specific reason why you personally feel Al Franken is a simpleton. A real reason

[mstaff657]

Pathetic Liberal

Internet - 2 minutes I could find 10 pages of factual lies and or closet skeletons on just about any human on the planet. Y / T watch?v=h0-FYyuvrRk

Minnesota Public Radio's Y/T acct.

watch the dog and pony show Mr. Simpleton gives.

Even the music is juvenile.

[killgoretrout81]

@mstaff657 clever argument you've put forth there. considering the average American can't name every state, let alone capitals, and can only find the us on the map. this is impressive. and the music is an homage to the lessons on something like sesame street. but let's put your clever rebuttal video aside.

you say 2 minutes... 10 pages of factual errors. how about you go take 6 minutes of your life and do a check on your fox news favorites. in a year when you finish the 30 pages, we'll talk.

[mstaff657]

Ignorant Pathetic Liberal

I will lob rocks at you when I "drive by"

I know you are an idiot.

I won't spend any time proving to you.

You know who and what you are an idiot looking for a free ride.

[killgoretrout81]

you call me pathetic liberal... i say you exude class.

in order to lob rocks when you drive by... you would need to first find Canada on the map.

I'm assuming you "know" I'm an idiot, just like you "know" the bible is true.

you obviously have no notion of syntax, as your statement about proving is missing a qualifier.

and i can assure you. i work every day, and am not looking for a free ride.

you just keep being classy mstaff... youtube sees you as a bright shining star. keep up the good work

[mstaff657]

Oh you are one of Canada's elite ?

my mistake - why are you worried about the American health care system ?

Americans do not give a shit about Canadian politics.

Why is it that Liberals must lie about their origins ?

They are Pathetic Parasites, looking for a Free Ride.

[killgoretrout81]

the same old refrain... how many times have you put the words pathetic and parasite together ???

and you're wrong about americans not caring about canadian politics... ignorant americans dont care... intelligent people understand how interconnected the world is.

we are the untited states number one trading partner... supplying your country with raw natural resource... oil, minerals, lumber, and food... while we provide a place for you to sell your goods.

[killgoretrout81]

we have been a major stop for EVERY american president... because close ties with canada means a healthy economy for the united states.

when Americans go to war... there are Canadians standing by their sides... during every major conflict of the last hundred years Canadians have died beside Americans fighting for the exact same causes. we are the only real friend the united states has.

you are obviously insane... and offer nothing in the way of intelligent discourse. you sir... are a moron.

[killgoretrout81]

@mstaff657 and i would like to point out that you still haven't actually given a reason why you think al franken is a simpleton. you just bandy around the words simpleton and idiot.

so how about it. one reason. cite one specific instance where the senator has acted as a simpleton. then explain why he acted like a simpleton.

im actually curious if you feel theres any real foundation to the statements you make... or if you just mash random words together and press enter.

[mstaff657]

Poor Pathetic ignorant Liberal

when will learn ?

May you live forever !

[killgoretrout81]

asserting that I'm pathetic... doesn't make it so.

and judging by what I've read on your profile... you lack the credibility to call anyone else ignorant.

you make assertions as to everyone else's intelligence... but provide no proof of your own. again i ask. state a specific instance where the senator has acted as a simpleton, and explain why you feel it's so. you made the remark unprompted... the least you could do is explain yourself.

[killgoretrout81]

you seem to have some pretty open disdain for the entirety of government... have some odd conspiracy theories about the Kennedy family. you seem to be in love with green energy, more because it's cost effective than the green aspect.

but one thing rings true through all your posts... you're not very bright. in fact... it's like you just cut and paste the same comments everywhere. be it clinton... kennedy... obama... or franken. verbatim arguments against all. a real sign of intelligence friend

[mstaff657]

Liberal Loser

Green energy is not cost effective nor is it green, it is a way for Gore to fleece his pathetic foolowers.

[killgoretrout81]

man... mstaff... you're right... you can find a lot of things out about people from the internet.

did you really say "Barrack Hussein Obama is not an American.He is a Muslim. The Fat Young Turk is just another loser raised by a single mother (MaMa's boy) "

because... 1... thats not nice... and 2... when your dad died 3 years ago... didn't that make your mom a single mom ???

you seem to have an odd fascination with videos about engineering disasters as well.

[mstaff657]

10 years before you were shitn diapers - I was working in the real world - not burger king, but a large open pit uranium mine.

Find my quick analogies irritating do ya ?

Look who you are using to bolster your Lib Lies - Clinton, Kennedy, Obama and Al Franken. That is one big list of handicaps and retards - of whom not one, would you be allowed to dine in the same room with,

yet you would crawl over a mile of broken glass to sniff their feet.

Did I uncover that crummy life you are leading.

[killgoretrout81]

crummy life ??? im an academic in canada... and you're a miner in the US... i'll keep mine... you keep yours... no really... i dont mind.

[mstaff657]

crummy life is exactly what you described Canadian.

I have not been in a mine for 30 years

[mstaff657]

smokes buddy

that is funny - I must have rubbed a sore spot.

spending any time on a human you consider to be "not very bright".

more likely your feeble mind finds me to be a threat.

In any case you are right - "that's not nice" lets see ya do something about it -

[jonesaljones]

Oooops, wrong button.

I was just going to say maybe we could embarrass them, but some seem to have no shame. Keep up the good work.

[jonesaljones]

Mr. Franken! Yes! Thank you for going to bat for the weakest and disadvantaged Americans. Thank you for injecting some intelligence into the debates that you engage in. I am pleased with your stances on health care and health insurance reform. Hoping we can get some of the military dollars back into domestic programs that benefit the citizens is probably asking too much? It seems so unbalanced, entrenched and full of waste and fraud. Since we can't legislate against greed, we can

[mstaff657]

Al Franken

one pathetic parasite

[PimpingWolfwood]

Again, man... You're semi-retarded.

[mstaff657]

Really,

I not the one holding a title PimpingWolfwood

[PimpingWolfwood]

@mstaff657

What are you talking about, Epsilon?

[mstaff657]

I will not visit the state of Minnesota until Al Franken is voted out of public office.

[dgangler]

Oh no! Not THAT! Anything but THAT!

[tully40]

@mstaff657 You again. Why don't you find something to do besides troll on youtube.

[gumpydoood]

Hahaha. Good. They don't want your ignorant ass. Franken will be senator for a long, long time, bucko. Go make yourself a big cup of SOUR GRAPE TEA and have a good cry. You had eight years of bible thumpin village idiot George Bush. Theis is a democracy & your side LOST. Now go shut the fuck up and let the adults clean up the mess.

[mstaff657]

nice speech Al listen to your speech

Hussein Obama uses a teleprompter

Al Franken should use the teleprompter.

how pathetic

[MacerXGP]

The Senate doesn't use teleprompters, dipshit.

Who gives a shit that Obama uses one. At least this guy has an idea of what the consequences of the legislation are.

Fuck you and your issues with arbitrary details.

[kevmarkpat]

Bravo ! Al definately has gonads !

[omahatmbgfan]

Great Speech. Please correct the info. The amendment is from Nelson (D-NEB)

[killgoretrout81]

it's important that we tolerate abuses to the system so as to not limit access for those that are legitimately in need... and the right to decide is a fundamental right... limiting the ability to exercise that right is appallingly wrong.

[DreadedWalrus]

I like how the woman sitting near him looks at Franken all starry-eyed almost as though she idolises him. :)

[TheGiantRobot]

She looks sleepy to me, maybe a hard working intern. She's cute and probably a good person if she's working for Franken.

[dgangler]

To me it just looked like she was being attentive and trying not make any stupid faces. And she IS cute.
