Louis N. Minneapolis, MN, choice of words do not make a man. If you can sit there and blame everything that went wrong during the Bush administration onto GW Bush you are a sad individual. GW Bush has faults, this I agree, but I have enough intelligence to know Congress makes laws and budgets, not the President. I place more blame on 535 other indiviuals from both parties. Fearful is not even close to what we as a nation will go through for the next two years with the wolves guarding the deer herd.

Z, what will you do when you run out of fingers? bob, I accepted long ago
that Bush became president, what I was fearful of at the time was the disaster
that occurred over those eight years. You then agree then that Pawlenty became
Governor by default. I always did and still do sleep well at night, but I have renewed
Confidence in my government.

louis n. Minneapolis, MN, no I will not agree Bush was appointed, as per laws in place he won against Gore by Electoral votes. Pawlenty won by to quote you, the most votes. Biggest difference here is I will not lay wake each night crying because we now have a Senator in MN named Franken, verses liberals still crying about 2000 election.

Good bob w, we've finally got your attention. You are right, Al did not get a majority, just the most votes. Now I am sure you will agree that Pawlenty became governor "by default" as well as Bush in 2004, but Bush did not even get the most votes in 2000, so I am sure that you would agree that Bush was appointed once and won by default once.

To somewhat quote the liberals, he didn't get the majority of the people to vote for him, so he is not the choice of the majority, Franken just happens to get to be the Senator from MN by default. Now Moderator, can we find something new to complain about, please!

Z, the majority agree with me, it would appear the real silent majority"
is liberal. Dan, you have the strangest defintion of "common sense" I have
encountered, the fact that your "internet searches" always turn up question-
able conservative results defies your claim. Besides, all too often your sources
turn out to be bogus and your positions illogical.

When anyone who is not a democrat or a liberal succeeds at anything, a liberal will tell you it's because they cheated.

Again Dan you didn't read my full statement, no use pointing that out to you though. I do think the last election kind of settles the majority thing for now. Your response, of course, ignores the main points I brought up about your "common sense". Maybe, Dan, you can explain what is "common sense" about your failure to accept that Al Franken won and that the supreme court did NOT "give" him the election?

The majority of who, Louis? You and Jim? The rest of the trees out in the woods?
