Minnesota's GOP ‘ad nauseaum sore head - sour grape losers’ continue to attack Minnesota’s SOS Mark Ritchie with lying claims that would make a fairy godmother blush with shame. MinnPost has a nice write up with details but really it comes down to this: The GOP are gunning for Minnesota’s SOS Ritchie. Since they have no factual claims to bring him down, they are willing to go with a ‘swift boat’ campaign. (sigh, I guess they still haven't figured out Minnesotans are tired of the 'Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them' ). The GOP want the public to believe the fairytale of “he fixed the election/recount”.

And what I worry could happen is the left will just quit." - Hmmm so Rahm will take the fight to us but not the healthcare lobbyist? Well I’ve got news for him…As a card-carrying member of .the left, I WON”T QUIT! I will find another way even if that means abandoning Democrats like Rahm who can’t seem to understand the basic human necessity of healthcare. FINALLY A GOOD WORD: Senator Al Franken OH SO WEIRD: Sigh, wish the media would report on those things that affect Americans more like the war, economy, healthcare and international issues,,,,half as much as they do on Michael Jackson….sigh… OH SO WEIRD AND WONDERFUL: You really have to go that extra step to beat Michael Jackson off the media…Governor Palin managed to do that. One of my favorite TV shows is ‘Trailer Boys’ but even it can’t compare to Palin’s insanity. I look f...
