Great news.Getting Limbaugh will be the cherry on top.Go crushers go.
We are doomed.
Congratulations Senator Frnaken!
Ok Democrats. You now have NO excuse for not "fixing" this country. Let's see how you do. You now own everything that comes out of congress and the White House, so put you money where your mouth is. Stop name-calling for a "change" and actually do something. If your policies work, great. If not, then 2010 will be a bad year for Democrats. Just remember, the American people have little patience and demand results, not speeches.
Cliff Richards had more number one hits than the Beatles. But they belong to Cliff. An English man...
No matter what happens, we are very lucky to be American! I'm an expat who cannot wait to return to the U.S. (my awesome home)!!!!
Just imagine yourself in Iran right now......Franken and the rest are pure blessings (irrespective of political party).
I'd still worry if I were you Bijou... Inbreeding will still be illegal in Minnesota... your parents are probably not going to like to hear that!
I want to congratulate Al Franken for this victory. I am a democrat who believe in the two-party system. We, the democrats, should not view the 60 votes as winner takes all (as the republican did when they had majority), instead we should engage the republicans in healthy debate of ideas to arrive at the best solutions to problems confronting all of us. To the republicans, keep an open mind and dont just say no or condemn every proposals the democrats come up with. Propose your own ideas and explain to the nation why your ideas are better.
I believe that solutions that result from vigorous debate ( not name calling) will be accepted by most and is likely to be sucessful.
