Does anyone Norm supporter want to buy me?

I'm all dried out now. And don't smell much.

President Bush is on his way out, and the Iraq war is winding down, these are no longer things that matter. Let's stop crying over spilled milk, because we're there now. And America didn't become great by pussying out when times got hard.

[MooseOfReason]

If you don't watch the Senators, they spend hundreds of billions of dollars on a war in Iraq.

Norm, you think this is abusive spending? Come on. Save me money - bring the troops home. Those postal workers deserve a nice steak dinner - more than members of KBR and Halliburton.

What are you talking about Ronald Reagan junior? 

Government CAN solve problems, really it can. Government WASTE is another issue. Like a War that has cost $500 Billion with a "B"

Now that's WASTE!

Johnman, I am newly married middle-class student trying to make ends meet, but I want freedom, not government regulation and intrusion into my life. You have this idea that "only the rich are republicans" that is simply not true. Many people in America are waking up and seeing what the liberals and socialists in this country are doing and want a stop to it!

[tshavlik]

I have personally talked with Norm; he listens. I am not rich by any stretch of the imagination. I am a low income student who is not buying into all the BIG government propaganda that is out there touting the glories of government solutions. We need to take responsibility and think for ourselves.

[JohnMan59]

You have GOT to be kidding, right?

97%. He agreed with this failed President

AN AVERAGE of 92%! 97% his first year.

They could NOT be more closely connected-except for his flacid attempts in the last year to look "independent"

Have you seen the picture of BUSH KISSING HIM?

ColemanBUSH are one in the same.

Listens to Minnesotans?

You MUST be a millionaire.

He did not listen to US when we BEGGED to have our family stay out of Iraq for the 3rd time! Coleman is a LIAR!

[tshavlik]

Franken, on the other hand, is a Hollywood elitist & has no experience in Politics. Al has said in the past that he is indecisive & it seems that his temper and fowl mouth will get him into trouble. Entertainers often make bad politicians. It appears that all that Franken is running on is hate for Bush. Wake up and talk about your candidate; don't trash talk about your hatred for a president that is on his way out. Let's disagree with civility & make this about current issues that really matter.

[tshavlik]

Don't incorrectly connect Coleman with Bush. They don't see eye to eye on many issues. Coleman's record shows that he thinks for himself and listens to Minnesotans.

[JohnMan59]

Then we shall cancel your votes out. If you think that he is saving the U.S. money....you need to compare ANY waste found by Coleman to the 500 BILLION spent in this HORRID war.

That is why I AM voting for AL FRANKEN as our dozens of my friends.....

How ironic....."Millions become Billions" said Coleman....He OUTTA KNOW!

Call it what IT is....ColemanBUSH!

Why won't he take care of the VETS, and those NOT on the same payroll as HE IS!

Fake as his teeth, that's why! ColemanBUSH!
