Evidence that Al Franken now believes!

Here at his statement, http://blog.alfranken.com/2008/11/05/a-statement-from-al-franken/ is an interesting line,

Let me be clear: This race is too close to call, and we do not yet know who won. We are lucky enough to live in a state with built-in protections to ensure that in close elections like these, the will of the people is accurately reflected in the outcome.

"lucky enough to live in a state with built-in protections"

sounds like he is now a believer. :fistbump:

He needs to apologize to/for the people he dissed about Election Dysfunction!

If he does make it to the Senate, he can be an informed advocate on voting rights and reform. We need to hold his feet to the fire on the issue.

We must hold ALL their feet to the fire about everything!

:hi:

Better late than never, Al!

who were screaming election fraud in 00, 02 and 04?

It is a funny thing, when a comedian denies that something is possible. :silly:

I donated to Franken, but I thought his "conservative" stance (not political conservative, but smoking gun, innocent until proven guilty conservative stance) about the Ohio 2004 election / Diebold voting machines wasn't a good idea at the time.

Even Bill Maher was taken back at the numbers that were run after 2004 in Ohio, and he's Maher's not necessarily a Democrat.

But to follow up my subject, I STILL point the finger at Al Franken (again, I donated to his campaign) for having Mike Malloy fired from AAR.

Here's my reasoning:

Al was the AAR 'star' making 1 MILLION a year to Malloy's 100,000. But the DAY AFTER Malloy had a 9/11 conspiracy show, with no notice, he was given the boot for "budgetary reasons". Yeah, right. But who would have CARED enough to have him fired?

I remain convinced that Franken got wind of that show and realized that his future Senate bid which he was 'exploring' at the time, and which he left AAR to pursue, would be crippled for the guilt-by-association that may have resulted from his working 'side by side' with a '9/11 kook'.

I've since quit AAR and am now a NovaM subscriber.

Al's a politician now. Politicians do that kind of shit. As always though, the progressive liberal ranting into the darkness at midnight is vindicated.

It was March 2003. There were no WMD's in spite of them "knowing" where they were. I had to find someone out there to listen to and Thom Hartmann and Mike Malloy brought me in... To them I owe them my thanks.

I wish Sam Seder would move to NovaM...

The content and style is just incredibly addictive. I dropped off when Randi left, but Maron vs. Seder brought me back.

and the whole recount? I've heard Randi's venom-laced comments, but I don't know that I have heard Malloy on the issue.

Started being kinder to the "election was stolen" crowd.

But when we initially needed him, he was down on us.

Period.

Florida (in 2000) and Ohio (in 2004) obviously didn't know how to conduct a legal recount.

In Florida, some counties didn't even recount their ballots!

In Ohio, the 1% recount in some "punch-card" counties was tampered with.


Minnesota has same-day registration and consistently the highest voter turnout in the nation.

just sabotaged both of them.

he will be a strong advocate for election integrity.
