GOP Group In Panic Over Possible Franken Win
December 22, 2008 02:27 PM


The possible, perhaps, impending victory of Al Franken to the Senate has sent GOP officials into a paranoid tizzy.

In an "urgent message" to supporters, the Republican National Lawyer Association accuses Franken and his "liberal allies" of "working feverishingly {sic} to steal the Minnesota Senate election."

"As you may know, the precinct recount phase of the Minnesota Senate race was won by Sen. Norm Coleman on Election Day," reads the petition. "But Al Franken still won't concede. Instead, Franken raised millions of dollars from liberals in New York and Hollywood to fight a "legal" battle to undo the will of the voters. He even got the Minnesota Supreme Court to order canvassing boards to consider about 1600 previously rejected and questionable ballots. Now, Republican Norm Coleman has until December 31st to fight against Franken's liberal legal team to keep his Senate seat. RNLA and Norm Coleman are fighting for every vote -- literally!"

From there, the RNLA asks readers to donate money so that it can uphold the sanctity of the Minnesota election and prevent Franken from "stealing" the Senate seat.

1. Oh my!

Funny how things look from the other side, huh?

:P

[Lerkfish]

2. "feverishingly"? LOL, what a moran!

you know, if it weren't for their inability to spell, they'd have no entertaining value at all.

[Lex]

8. I'm going to have to remember that one.

It has a ring to it.

[Auggie]

3. Panic? I want them in gut-wrenching pain...

[shraby]

4. That's odd, I thought it was Coleman who petitioned

the supremes in Minnesota.

[Creideiki]

5. Why? Until there are 60 votes, it's just obedience training for Reid:

Republican Handler: Sit! Stay! Roll over! ("We don't like that legislation because it doesn't cater to our right-wing hatreds and might think about a filibuster if you put it up.") Shake! ("Come on, boy, reach across the aisle!")

[BOSSHOG]

6. The conservative message machine is so precious

Uphold the sanctity of stuff. They are just so cute. Sadly powered by the cumulative ignorance of so many of our fellow americans.

7. "liberals in New York and Hollywood"--that's republicon for

"Jews"

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. Donate money? For what, RNLA junkets to the Carribean?

Give often and freely, you deep pocketed GOP s-u-c-k-e-r-s.

10. Oh dear. Now where did I put my...I thought I had it...ah, here it is!

:nopity:

[McCamy Taylor]

11. They must really need Coleman for their filibusters. I better count them up.

[malaise]

12. Block up their mail boxes with questions about

Mike Connell. Then they'll have a reason to panic.

[McCamy Taylor]

13. Ha ha! They only have 41 GOPers and 2 of them are Collins and Snowe. No fillbusters of economic

and health care agenda for the GOP with only 39 who will be willing to see people starve and go homeless.

That is why they will demand a special election in Illinois.

[ChickMagic]

14. Poor widdle babies...

[groovedaddy]

15. "working feverishingly {sic} to steal the Minnesota Senate election."

They do know a thing or two about stealing elections! They probably have it on their resumes.
