Oh You Are Gooddamn Right We Should Delay Seating That Mutherfucker

[Beetwasher]

For as long as legally possible should he pull off a win. You bet yr sweet ass we should. And fuck anyone who whines differently.

[Ian David]

1. We should seat him as quickly and painlessly as they allowed us to seat Al Franken. n/t

[Roland99]

6. +60

;)

[lame54]

116. I think you mean +59

:evilgrin:

[cali]

9. right. if its as close as that race was.

[Robb]

46. Yep. nt

[Democrat_in_Houston]

67. She already conceded!

No way can it be delayed.

This is a clusterf_ck anyway you look at it.

[iceman66]

2. After what they did to Al Franken, it is hard to argue with this.

[dflprincess]

96. Everything they "did to" Franken was in the bounds of Minnesota election law

and, if the situation had been reversed, I would have wanted Franken to fight it down the bitter end.

Delaying seating Brown without a really good reason is just stupid and will only hurt the party more in the long run.

[Raven]

3. Please, tell us what you really think! I donno, it may take years to

seat the centerfold. :-)

[RedCloud]

68. Yes. A special provision to keep centerfolds from flashing the Senate.

That could take years.

[Dinger]

4. I Bet Al Franken Thought It Was Worth The Wait (nt)

[Ilsa]

5. Alfranken Brown!!! (If he wins). nt

[cali]

7. so if the guy pulls off decisive win, we should delay seating him? Stupid as dog shit

and just as stinky.

[Beetwasher]

10. If You Think It's Stupid

I must be on to something. Thnx for the support, sweet cheeks.

Voting irregularities nullify any perceived "decisiveness"

[cali]

13. lol. from dumb to dumber, lambchop.

think about it for a minute: brown wins by say 7 points and the dems decide to not seat him for months. way to destroy any dem chances in November, my fuzzy little einstein.

[Beetwasher]

16. Voting Irregularities, My Lil Sugar Plum

[cali]

20. lol. voting irregularities will not account for a big win by brown- if it happens

dumpling dearie.

[Beetwasher]

25. Really? Well, Only An Investigation Can Determine That For Sure

My sweet sweet poochy puss. I guess yr omniscience has already determined that though.

[perro azul]

18. Probably, but it sure will ensure DU's continuing existence!

haha

:D

[shawcomm]

34. Sweet cheeks?

Condescension and sexism, besides the dumb idea of delaying seating.

:wtf:

[cali]

36. nah, he's only tearing a page out of my book.

[shawcomm]

38. ahh, k.

really respect you and took it too seriously

[Beetwasher]

40. Your Book????

Please. I wrote my own book on how to be an asshole, thank you very much! I'll give you credit for some fine work, but please don't take credit for my accomplishments in the art.

[Robb]

47. Hey, let's call it a draw.

:D

[Beetwasher]

59. Just What We Need

A dingbat chiming in. ;)

[Fire1]

44. Both of you need to stop. You're making me hungry,

i.e., sugar plum, lambchops, etc.

[OregonBi]

61. good idea!

i'm heading to B.K. for a bag of those $1.00 double cheeseburgers.
Yummy...
I would order beets but they make me and my partner puke!

[Beetwasher]

39. LOL!

Are you offended? Oh well.

[bbinacan]

43. Is that you Hugo? n/t

[Beetwasher]

45. Norm?

Whiner?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

48. That's the same thing Coleman said.

[Beetwasher]

52. No It's Not

Where?

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

78. Coleman's complaint was about irregularities in absentee ballots.

[Beetwasher]

84. It Was An Automatic Recount

Yes, he challenged how it was conducted, but that's different than allegations of fraud.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

89. Coakley has conceded. The point is moot.

[Beetwasher]

92. My Point Will Never Be Mute!

Moot perhaps, but I'll shout it at the top of my lungs!

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

100. Good luck with that.

[Beetwasher]

101. Luck?

Fuck luck. I got pipes baby.

[Codeine]

104. Are you drunk? nt

[Beetwasher]

111. On Love, Baby

You're not?

[Joanne98]

8. YES!

[SchoolBoy]

11. Brown is going to win by just a couple of hunred votes?

The MN race was very close. If the MA race isn't close, the loser shouldn't contest it.

Sour grapes blocking Brown now will lose votes this November.

[Beetwasher]

14. Voting Irregularities Taint Any Win

Regardless of the margin.

[me b zola]

42. Recess is over Charlie Brown

Run along back to class, now. :hi:

[blondeatlast]

53. Yout concern is duly noted. nt

[Richard D]

12. I'd love to see that happen . . .

. . . but I won't hold my breath. Bipartisanship and all that nonsense will likely prevail.

[Exultant Democracy]

19. We need to Pull a Norm Coleman if he wins. Let the pos wait till next summer.

[spanone]

21. IF he wins

[librechik]

22. One day less than the wait Al Franken suffered would be just

probably not going to happen, though

[Codeine]

23. I think Mass law requires he be seated

in a fairly quick period of time.

[Beetwasher]

27. What Does It Say About Investigating Voting Irregularities?

[Codeine]

29. Which voting irregularities?

The ones Coakley brougt up in a press release dated yesterday?

Honest mistake probably, but it looks baaaaad.

[Beetwasher]

31. Doesn't Matter

What's the law say? Mistake or not I assume there could be a challenge.

[jacksondem]

24. Insanity

Delaying his seating will not help. Getting perceived as whining cheaters trying to game the system, particularly in light of Ed Schultz's saying he would stuff a ballot box will hurt us in every close election in Nov. This gets dragged out it will be like picking at stitches on your arm instead of letting it heal. Reopen the wound get it infected and watch a minor injury become a major one

[Beetwasher]

26. Pffft!

Whine.

[Stinky The Clown]

28. Not arguing what I assume is your central point ..... but we also refuse to seat Coakley?

[Beetwasher]

30. If There Is A Challnge, Yes

The Dems delayed seating Franken, I assume they would delay Coakley too. FYI delaying Coakly wouldn't change the math on HCR but delaying Brown could.

[LLStarks]

32. You can't delay if it's a blowout. If it's narrow, tell him to piss off until Summer comes aroun. nt

[Beetwasher]

33. Voting Irregularities Would Need To Be Investigated

As long as legally allowed.

[BlueJac]

35. They don't have the nut sack for it.........

just like everything else!!! That's why it happened.

[shawcomm]

37. How about follow the damn rules.

If there are irregularities, make sure Mass deals with it. But to not seat him as some sort of response to Franken's delay is ridiculous. I understand the desire to get the repukes back, but let's not stoop to their level. Especially let's not stoop to the level of calling each other names here.

[Beetwasher]

41. Did I Suggest Otherwise?

[LaydeeBug]

49. It's like I've found a kindred spirit, and I had no idea how thirsty my soul was. nt

[Beetwasher]

57. Heh. Drink The Sweet, Viscous Nectar Of My Throbbing

Intellect.

[Nye Bevan]

50. YES! The whinging, whiny-ass sore loser routine!

That will work *wonders* to revive Democratic fortunes! So much better than a dignified, honorable concession, sober reflection, and learning our lessons for next time around!

[Beetwasher]

55. Please Point To The Blowback The Repubs Have Suffered Using These Tactics

I'll wait.

[Nye Bevan]

60. It cost Norm Coleman the Governorship of Minnesota, for one thing

His pathetic, prolonged and undignified sore loser act destroyed his chances of winning the gubernatorial election.

[Beetwasher]

94. That's Not The Repubs Though

That's merely Norm. I'd gladly sacrifice Coakley's future prospects for HCR.

[OregonBi]

51. So we should tell the will of the people to just "Fuck Off"?

So YOU are happy?
What if the situation was turned around?

Thank you for a stupidity that could ensure Democrat losses for the next three years.
If you could sell that stupidity you WOULD make a mint in the REDneck states.

[Beetwasher]

56. Stupidity Is Allowing Allegations Of Irregularities To Go Uninvestigated

Nothing is more stupid or shortsighted.

This situation HAS been turned around. Many times. Apparently you've learned nothing from the times the Repubs have done this and received no blowback whatsoever. None. In fact, one was installed President via lawsuit. Remember? I see the Repubs delaying Franken have had real blowback for them as well. On your planet maybe, but not earth.

[OregonBi]

64. 2000 is OVER

the majority of short-term memory Americans don't care about 2K anymore!
The reason Coakely LOST BY OVER SEVEN POINTS NOW, is because the Independents were abandoned!
Now you want to tell them to fuck-off, stomp your little immature child feet, and tell them they don't matter?
Your asinine immaturity will KILL the Progressive agenda and hurt President Obama for the next seven years!

54. It's what the Repukes would do given the reverse situation

...but we're supposedly better than them.


But in this case, I agree with you.

[OregonBi]

58. good fucking job!

Coakley just conceded and your stupidity shows Americans that SOME OF US are telling Americans that they can fuck off and only the Progressives matter. WE MUST HAVE THE INDEPENDENTS TO WIN ANYTHING IN THIS NATION. Especially HCR and Cap and Trade.

Scurry your Pinochet ass to MA and APOLOGIZE!

[Beetwasher]

62. So? I Stand By What I Say

WTF does that have to do w/ anything? It sucks and she conceded, doesn't change a thing about my OP. What the fuck should I apologize for, jeenyus? My opinion? :rofl: Oh boy, welcome to the internets, Chester.

[OregonBi]

65. your opinion *IS* the stupidity I speak of!

You will waste your time dancing around the meat of your "opinion": That a small number people on the left are saying "FUCK YOU, WE _WILL_ HAVE OUR WAY EVEN IF IT MEANS BEING IMMORAL OR DISHONEST OR BREAKING THE LAW!!!111"
Progressives are NONE of those and for ANYONE (YOU) to advance such an asinine "opinion" only shows how out of touch with the Democrat party and Progressives you are.
Me thinks we have a long term, cultured, repuke-groomed troll here.

[Beetwasher]

69. Holy Crap, Where Did I Say Break The Law???

Stop masturbating while you post and read, Jeenyus.

Methinks you've got issues, Chester. Get laid (if you can, which I doubt), it'll do you good.

"Oh You Are Gooddamn Right We Should Delay Seating That Mutherfucker

For as long as legally possible should he pull off a win. You bet yr sweet ass we should. And fuck anyone who whines differently."

Are you really a fucking moron or do you just play one on the internets?

[OregonBi]

73. projecting your sexual inadequacies in a public forum?

While telling Americans to "fuck off!!!"

WOW!

You picked a pathetic manner to dance around your stupidity.

What is next? Blaming your genital warts on me too?

Psssttt: (in a very hushed voice), you just told Americans their will does NOT matter and to plainly just fuck off.

I am out for now my small minded troll. I have a big fucking drunk to go to now since I have just most likely watched HRC die and my partner's chances at stem cell treatment die along with it. I am confident though that with short-sighted asinine trolls like you telling Americans to "FUCK-OFF" happy days are on the horizon.

[Beetwasher]

75. No, The Genital Warts Are From

Your mother. (Yes, I went there it was just too wide open).

I didn't realize that" all Americans" voted in this election. Or that anyone suggested that Brown never be seated.

As for your err, partner (god bless his/her/it's soul, Rosy Palm, anyone?), umm, if Brown is delayed in his seating, HCR just might pass you fucking moron.

[Odin2005]

63. Payback time for the BS Franken had to put up with.

[DutchLiberal]

66. Ain't democracy great?

[Fading Captain]

70. LOL. Did you mean to imply you are a whiner?

LOL
What's the point?

72. Martha apparently didn't get your memo

she has conceded the race.

[Beetwasher]

76. Indeed, Sadly That's True

Alas. Not many have the Beetwasher asshole syndrome . YMMV.

[varelse]

90. Oh, I've got it in spades

but there's nothing to work with here. The margin was too high, the votes were (apparently) counted, and our candidate has conceded.

[Beetwasher]

91. Actually, There Is Something To Work With

At the very least they should take the maximum allowable time to certify. No reason to rush and they'd be perfectly legally entitled to do this. Dot all the "i's". In the meantime, if HCR is passed, oh well. Them's the breaks. Whiners will whine regardless.

[theothersnippywshrub]

77. Please don't refer to "Curling Iron" Brown as a mutherfucker. n/t

[npk]

79. Way to make Limbaugh look like a genius

This is all he has been saying for weeks. If the Dems lose the senate race they will delay seating Brown till after the Health Care bill is passed. This would make the dems look very petty. Worse than that it would validate what Rush Limbaugh has been saying, and would actually give him more credibility and effectiveness in spewing his hate all over the airwaves.

[Beetwasher]

81. Who Care's What Rush Listeners Think

:shrug:

Seriously. Delaying his seating the maximum allowable time (what? A few weeks compared to how long they delayed Franken?), would be nothing and have NO blowback whatsoever except for the whiners. And who cares about those dipshits?

Sadly, it looks like it probably won't happen anyway. Oh well.

[npk]

85. Things like this have a way of spreading

It's not just Limbaugh listeners. Petty politics has a way of going viral very quickly. Even people who don't listen to politics on a daily basis are still very aware that the Democrats are struggling to get health care bill passed in the senate. If the Democrats were to make a political issue out of Brown's victory and refuse to seat him this could cary over into the mid-term elections and even into the next presidential election. Not a good thing at all.

[Beetwasher]

87. Nahh, Franken Is Too Fresh

No way around that. A totally legit period of time before seating, like a few weeks, would be just too inconsequential. Yeah, there would be a bit of noise and whining. IMO, of course.

[OregonBi]

122. Exactly!

Apparently critical thinking is an ability beyond the intellectual grasp of some. Especially those that express their "intellectual superiority" by yelling "FUCK YOU" at fellow Americans when stating their (ahem) opinions.

Oh and do not forget the "Your Mother" thang!

"Hey everybody!!!111 Look how brilliant I am, I just made a vile sexual innuendo laced comment about your mother!"
"If you do not agree with me then YOU are DaaayUmm!!!111"

[cherokeeprogressive]

80. Tap Tap Tap... Is this thing on? COAKLEY CONCEDED.

Or did you not know that? Nothing else matters now. She conceded the race.

Now, what would you use as an excuse to keep from seating him? Al Franken? That MIGHT work, had Norm Coleman conced THAT race.

[Beetwasher]

82. Umm, So?

I'm entitled to my opinion regardless. :shrug:

What's your point?

[cherokeeprogressive]

83. None you'd understand I guess.

[Beetwasher]

86. Understanding The Unintelligable Is Best Left Up

[uponit7771]

88. AMEN!!

[Rapanui1]

93. Coakley is not only inept but stupid too

Coakley to me seems like stupider than Sarah Palin. She not only lost but relented too. Atleast as a courtesy of running a sorry ass like her she could have atleast thrown in some legal hurdles againt brown. To me she appears like a candidate from RNC. I won't be surprised if she runs as a NEOCON in 2012

[uponit7771]

95. You never know,...

[Beetwasher]

97. Different Topic

For a different day. Let's just say that I think you and Sarah Palin probably had the same English teacher and for some reason I doubt your sincerity.

[greatscott15]

98. Seated by end of week

Write it down.

Margin too large. Coakley already thrown in the towel. Prescedent already set, when Teddy was seated within a day of his special election.

[Beetwasher]

99. I Hope Yr Wrong

But I'm certainly not disputing it's possible.

[lonestarnot]

102. Milk that bitch like bushitler milks stud horses!

[Beetwasher]

117. I Did

I just fucking said it.

[WilliamPitt]

105. Why?

He won. By a lot.

It is what it is.

[Beetwasher]

106. Because There's No Reason To Do It Any Sooner Than Law And Senate Rules Allow

Just because the Repubs will whine.

If they've got 2 weeks to certify, take that long. No need to rush. If HCR passes in the interim. Oh well, thems the breaks.

[WilliamPitt]

107. MA law says 15 days

They'll do it tomorrow.

He won. By a lot.

[Beetwasher]

109. I Say Take 15 Days Then

But then again, I'm an asshole. But I also want what's best for the country, and that means getting the best HCR passed that we can. If that means some whining by the Repubs because we're not seating their guy quick enough, just remind them of Al Franken and tell them to go sit on a stick. That's the the game.

No one listens to me though. And probably with good reason.

[wisteria]

112. The race wasn't even close. There is no reason he should not be seated in a timely manner.

Unfortunately.

[Beetwasher]

113. Heh, Timely Is A Matter Of Opinion, If They Got 15 Days

Take 'em. If HCR is passed in the meantime, them's the breaks. That's the game. Just ask Al Franken .

[eShirl]

120. I think we all know what would happen if the situation were reversed.

They would wait until the last minute of the last hour of the last day allowed by law.

[Beetwasher]

121. Yup

And they'd be smart to do so.

[lonestarnot]

115. kick

Then this wouldn't be an issue?
