Now, I disagree with your opinion on the Minnesota Senate election, but do you feel this way about Bush in 2000 as well?

Of course not silly!

Bush was a good Republican.

Franken is an eeeeevil librul!!!

But alright...I don't want to argue about Florida in 2000.

What leads you to believe that the case in which the Republican won was legitimate, but where the liberal Democrat wins it's a "selection"?

They applied different standards in different counties for counting or throwing out ballots, there was no uniformity, so hence, there was some voter disenfranchisement.

Eight Minnesota judges in two different courts disagreed with that assesment.
None accepted it.

Can anyone please explain what makes Franken's victory illegitimate and why Coleman is clearly the real winner? (Please note that this question has absolutely nothing to do with the 2000 election so don't mention it in your reply.)

Because Franken is a librul comedian whose presence will darken a chamber that otherwise can boast for the presence of such distinguished statesmen like David Vitter, James Inhoffe, Tom Coburn, Jeff Sessions and Jim Bunning.

Many of us also argue that there was some funny business going on in LBJ's Texas also.  Wink

The rabid, talking point hacks only mention Illinois though.

It's Texas. Funny business is kind of a state tradition.
