Dan H....ummmm sure. I have yet to read a single post that you have made that shows any "common sense," "curiousness" or "fairness." You haven't contributed anything except to stick up for conservative radio's "high ratings" and stumped for Norm because he has lived here for 30 years. Anyway, enough of that...if you want to show me how fair, curious and "common sensed" you are, you can start by telling me what you think about the Supreme Court's decision, instead of constantly pushing conservative ideologies and stumping for conservative candidates.

Hey Dan, if you don't or haven't listened to or read any of those conservative sources how can you say that you "operate with as much information from all sides before making a decision." It seems that you have contradicted yourself.

Jim, I listened to Rush Limbaugh's radio show a few times back in the early 1990s. Haven't listened to it since. I've never read any of the many books written by Ann Coulter. I don't watch Sean Hannity's show or listen to his radio show. I am, however, burdened with common sense and a brain that likes to operate with as much information from all sides before making a decision. That doesn't make me right-wing, conservative or ignorant. Just curious and fair before I make a decision or reach a conclusion or form an opinion about something. I realize people like you and Louis see the world in black-and-white and liberal vs. conservative, but I don't.

Thanks, Jim, you are right and I do know that nothing I say will change anything about them, but I am somewhat compelled to counter their misconceptions. Oh, I am persistent though and not much affected by their attacks.

Louis N...I applaud your attempts to try and inform the ignorant, right-wing folks who like to frequent this site, but unfortunately your work is probably in vain. Most of the people you are speaking to, likely never leave their homes and get most of their "news and information" from conservative radio celebrities like Rush and Ann Coulter. My advice to you is to keep trying...but don't be disenheartened when your intelligent and informed thoughts do not sink into the ignorant minds who post here. I have tried, but unfortunately most of these folks are too uninterested in hearing the truth. Instead they would prefer to continue on in their lives where they feel they know all the answers...but really don't know much at all. Kudos to you Louis!

william, you are sadly mistaken. We have suffered the incompetence of the republicans for far too long, the democrats are most certainly NOT the ignorant ones, it is the republicans who are simply deluding themselves.

It's sad that we have a person that is inept handling the affairs of this state but even more sad that he will be a lacky to the far left and the ignorant democrats who don't understand what is really going on. The sadest of all is we have to wait six years befor he implodes. william S. St Paul

marilyn h, There is NO such thing as "partial birth abortion", that is an inflammatory euphemism for a procedure that is medically called intact dilation and extraction. All election procedures were thoroughly vetted and even the republicans agreed that there was no problem with the error by the poll judge, the votes were tracked and found to be unaltered and valid. The DFL has not "lied to anyone, it is only your refusal to accept truth. BTW when was the last DFL governor in office? And how many years did the repugs mismanage the House. marilyn h, your whining is getting to be an embarrassment, and your statements crude.

I said it before, I'll say it again. Coleman deserved to lose, Franken didn't deserve to win. How any poster from either camp can justify either of these two dandies is beyond comprehension. I prefer a do-over with Mike Cirisi-DFL and Rod Grams-GOP as candidates.
