On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron." - H.L. Mencken (1880-1956) "Nixon was a professional politician, and I despised everything he stood for ” but if he were running for president this year against the evil Bush-Cheney gang, I would happily vote for him." - Hunter S. Thompson "I know a little about a lot of things, and a lot about a few things, but I'm highly ignorant about everything." - Moose

Thank you for the long list of left wing talking points. Hey, you shut up Coyote about liberal talking points!!!
There was a clown in office and we want him to stand trial for war crimes!!!
I love the comedic images, what can I say? Edited by Hyroglyphx, : No reason given. "Fix reason firmly in her seat, and call to her tribunal every fact, every opinion. Question with boldness even the existence of a God; because, if there be one, he must more approve of the homage of reason, than that of blindfolded fear." Thomas Jefferson

Nice speech, with the choicest part being:

Oh! If this happens, I promise I will reconsider if God exists!
Oh please, oh please, oh please!!!If we long for our planet to be important, there is something we can do about it. We make our world significant by the courage of our questions and by the depth of our answers. --Carl Sagan

I'm not sure she'll make it in Congress long enough to challenge Al.

Found via Al Franken's final punchline | Salon.com which included:

quote: "nationally RESPECTED politician"? With humorless irony like that, it's no wonder clueless americans keep voting in clowns. Al Franken supports the NSA surveillance program against americans: he voted AGAINST the Amash NSA Amendment (ends the indiscriminate collection of phone and email records) on Wednesday. Besides Democrats Minority Leader Pelosi and Minority Whip Hoyer, and of course Bush Jr. II (Obama), Franken has gone on record AGAINST the fourth amendment:

Your train of thought seems to have missed the switch. Franken was a clown before he was elected. He may have become a nut or a fascist or something else but none of those positions make him a clown. ... it's no wonder clueless americans keep voting in clowns.

And it's even permissible to take a position against parts of the Constitution. It isn't carved in stone.

Oxymoron. (And IMO, "treason" is an obsolete term that belongs to the feudal system.)

"Supporting the Constitution" doesn't preclude criticizing it.

That's why you also have the power to un-elect them.

RingO writes: "Supporting the Constitution" doesn't preclude criticizing it. One cannot support the constitution (as Franken's stated in his oath) and attack it at the same time.
RingO writes: And you definitely should be aware that anybody you elect may change his/her stance on any issue. Yep, Republican Representative Richard L. Hanna of New York went against his constituent's wishes when he voted FOR Same-Sex Marriage in New York. Boy, his base was mad at him. So, yes, when the change is evolutionary progressive as Hanna's change was, that is good. And when the stance changes to support de-evolutionary, pro-police state, fascism, constitution rejectionism, anti-liberty, attacking of right's . . . then it is bad. [Unless you are Adolf Hitler, which it then is good. Cue Crashfrog's relativist counter-arguments trumping people's inalienable rights and liberties] RingO writes: That's why you also have the power to un-elect them. Like the destruction of some environmental habitats, once something is utterly destroyed, it is nearly impossible to bring it back. Once you drive over a cliff (oh no, please Tempe, no more cliff analogies), stepping on the brakes doesn't have much an effect . . . The NSA is contracting hundreds of companies to employ tens of thousands of employees like Snowden. Just like funding the industrial military complex, once its presence is enmeshed in the budget, it will be nearly impossible to reduce. There will be too much money/power to reduce it. I am fond of paraphrasing the following saying in my many crusades on the forum, "I am trying to prevent the epidemic, while Franken is driving the infected monkey to the airport." . . . It's imperative to fight the attacks on our liberties now, not the next election cycle. My freedom-hating NY Senator Dem Charles E. Schumer, along with Franken, Pelosi, and Obama support a police state and attack my rights and liberties. The clueless voters keep voting them in. What can I do?
