Let's DU Normie Coleman's poll on extending the tax cuts
Do you support extending the President’s tax relief, which has helped create almost 1.7 million new jobs this past year and has reduced the tax burden on nearly 1.9 million Minnesota taxpayers?

http://coleman.senate.gov

When I checked it, it was 70% no.

2. Done and thanks
My fiance ran into this little POS in our neighborhood grocery store in St. Paul not too long ago and confronted him. "Norm, he said, "I think you should remember that your job is to represent the people of Minnesota". "I keep that in mind at all times," he replied. "Well, you know, Norm, it just doesn't feel like it. It just doesn't feel like it at all." Norm just stood there, dumbstruck. Had not ONE DAMN THING to say to defend himself.

Little snake. Let's trash his so-called political career. Let's make it a special MISSION of DU.

3. Done. Take that, Norm, you slimy weasel.
What a sucky, slanted question. Obviously 70% of the people taking the poll saw through it. Have I ever mentioned that I think Norm Coleman is an opportunistic, unprincipled lump of pig snot who isn't worthy to wash Paul Wellstone's socks, and who ought to be tied down naked on an anthill? I really want to see his ass handed to him in '08.

6. Wasn't sure how to answer it...
Because I don't know what tax relief he's talking about. Bush passed a tax lending bill that slammed us into a recession and shifted the tax burden from the rich to the poor, crippling small business in favor of lower-wage paying big business. But that wasn't tax relief, since Bush also increased spending and ran up the largest deficit since Reagan, which means we all have to pay the money back, with interest.

So where is this tax relief package Bush passed? Did he shift the tax burden back to the wealthy to make them pay their fair share, and use the proceeds to pay off the deficit? I missed it, if he did.

1.7 million new jobs, paying half of what the ones everyone lost paid. Norm's job may be secure for another four years, but none of ours are.

I hate Republicans. I have lost the ability to look on them as misguided, tantrum throwing mongoloids, and thus give them a degree of patient tolerance. Now I just hate them.

8. I voted!
Kick
Had the opportunity to protest Norman when he came to Rochester the day prior to the election. He hid on his bus until a bunch of security came to protect him from our vicious assaults. Ha
I screamed, "Norman Go Home!" Admittedly not one of my proudest moments but I really detest that man! I will certainly work to be sure he is fired in 4 years!

24. Everybody's favorite meat puppet senator!
Total of "no"s is up to 80% now :).

I think someone should send an email to him claiming they represent the Republican party and tell him he needs to hold a press conference to tell Minnesotans "I smell like feet." I got $10 says he does it.

28. Thanks, I love to throw cold water in his face whenever possible
Noam can use lies like big job creation and tax relief. What an ass.
Darn school in my hometown is in danger and taxes on the locals will have to be raised. There seemed to be no end to the funds a few years back. Noamie should take a little trip around the state. Some will still vote repuke no matter what shut's down.

Edited on Wed Nov-17-04 01:39 PM by trevize1138
He's still not getting the carefully-scripted answers he'd hoped for:

Which issue do you believe is most important that the 109th Congress deals with?

Tax Reform: 20%
Social Security Reform: 9%
Class Action Reform: 2%
All of the above: 5%
Other: 64%

33. I went out and voted "other" then for fun I checked past poll results
The final tally on his tax reform poll was

Yes 48%
No 52%
Undecided 1%
19,200 total votes

I'm assuming that the 101% this adds up to has something to do with his site not showing the decimals in the percent and not Republican fuzzy math.

Though I still smell a rat (or a weasel) in these final results.

I think we have to make sure we keep an eye on Normie's site so that we can hit his polls whenever he puts one up.

31. I just entered "Tuna Sandwich" in the sites' search engine.
Shame on me. I feel so naughty. Good thing I didn't enter something like "Norm Coleman Douche bag".
