Al Franken "Conned" us!

That's the finding of an 18-month study conducted by Minnesota Majority, a conservative watchdog group

A conservative group did this, eh? There's objectivity, I tells ya.



I've got a group of foxes that did a study to find out who was killing chickens on the farm and they found that it wasn't foxes. Would you trust their results?

Mark, both parties have their watch dogs. Im not pluging for any party. Never pulled a straight ticket.

James Carville's poll says 55% think Obama is Socialist.....



You're right Mark, that number is way too low...I see your point!!!:bwahaha:

What's with the Fox websites? Everytime I visit a Fox site, no matter what computer I'm on and no matter how fast the connection, it takes a long time for the page to load and longer for it to be "scrollable".

And who conned us, the party that got elected, or the idiots that let the convicted felons vote?

just a thought...

Felons can't vote & they can't be called to jury duty (although they would be the actual peers).



Kinda makes you want to...no wait, I just remembered there is the big downside, a big guy named Bubba who becomes your valentine in prison :cheeky:...nevermind.

 

[EddieS'04]

they can't be called to jury duty

True but my county has been running past records. They have been finding felons that sat on juries. Now they have a mess of mistrials.

Just keep saying to yourself:

"I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!"

Minnesota Majority conned us...

"We received about 480 names from Minnesota Majority," Ramsey County's lead prosecutor Phil Carruthers told KARE Wednesday, "About 270 were clearly inaccurate and were rejected right from the get-go."



He said a quick review revealed the names and birthdates didn't match, or that the felons in question were no longer barred from voting.



"They were ruled out usually because they had the wrong identity of a person," Carruthers explained, "Or because the person no longer was on probation, and thus their civil rights had been restored."



In Hennepin County the pattern has been much the same. Of 451 names submitted by Minnesota Majority, 235 have been ruled out for prosecution while 216 are under review. Proving such cases is a time-intensive effort, according to Pat Diamond, a deputy county attorney.



"Because we also have to prove that the Joe Johnson who has a felony, whose rights weren't restored, is the same Joe Johnson who showed up at some precinct and voted," Diamond told KARE Wednesday.



He said just because someone's name appears on a list of felons and a list of voters doesn't prove they they voted illegally. In Minnesota many felons are granted an early end to their probation, and their rights are restored.



"The voter records as they appear on a computer screen say Joe has 5 years probation," Diamond explained, "But then when you talk to Joe's probation officer he says, 'No, we released Joe after 2 years, or after 3 years.' Well, then Joe can vote."

Minnesota sounds a lot like Chicago, vote early and vote often. Do all of us a favor, the next time you elect someone that hasn't been successful at anything he does, keep him local. That way the rest of us don't have to clean up your mess.

 

[Mark K 2]

I'm from Wisconsin, but I like how Franken's been doing his job so far.

 

[Bill V]

As a Minnesotan, I apologize for the mess and attrocious job one of our elected representatives has been doing on the national level. It's been an absolute embarrassment.



But that's a bit off subject, as I'm not talking about Al Franken. The embarrassment has come at the hands (or rather, from the mouth) of Michelle Bachmann.

 

[Mark K 2]

Michele Bachmann. Good God...

 

[Bud Williams]

Bachmann is AWESOME, are you guys nuts?!?:cheeky:

Al Franken did not "Con" me. I did not vote for him, but then I live in Texas so he was not on our ballat down here...:bwahaha:



I have always wondered if the candidate actually knows what the people running his campaign are really doing to get him elected?? Perhaps Al Franken knew that his campaign staff were stuffing the ballat box, or perhaps he did not really know what was going on.



In the end, we can't seem to come up with a fool-proof method of weeding out felons and dead people so that they cannot vote. I guess the neither the Democrats or Republicans want to loose such a large group of voters, even if they are voting illegally. And rest assured that both parties have been accused of stuffing the ballat box.
