Republican Party Response To Tedisco's Defeat: "Dems Trying To Steal Election-- Send Us Money"

>

Are ALL Republicans sore losers?

Yesterday GOP hopes to keep Al Franken from being seated in the Senate took another blow as another Minnesota court ruled against Norm Coleman's Republican Party-funded frivolous law suit. Coleman's sore loser posture is starting to grate... big time. And while this was happening, the GOP was losing another close election (in upstate New York)-- and vowing to use the same obstructionist tactics.
National Republicans are warning prospective donors that Democrats are trying to “pull a Franken” and “steal” Tuesday's special election in upstate New York.

Republicans made the charges in a fundraising email sent out early Wednesday morning after a too-close-to-call finish in the New York House race between Democrat Scott Murphy and Republican Jim Tedisco.

Murphy leads by 65 votes with all precincts reporting, but thousands of absentee ballots remain uncounted. Final results may not be known for weeks.

The GOP e-mail highlights Minnesota Democrat Al Franken, who appears likely to win a Senate seat after a state court gave him an important legal victory on Tuesday over Republican Norm Coleman.

“Democrats have almost succeeded in stealing the election in Minnesota and seating Al Franken,” wrote Guy Harrison, the National Republican Congressional Committee's executive director. “We cannot allow them to manipulate electoral results to seat another tax-troubled liberal.”

The email indicates Republicans are gearing up for a legal fight over the election results, and suggests the party will pursue a more aggressive legal than in Minnesota. In that contest, Coleman was initially up after Election Day but Franken was able to usurp his lead in the recount and legal process.

What's left of the NY State Republican Party is running off to every court they can find screaming for injunctions. While recreating the exact same thing they did in Minnesota, they claim they're trying to prevent another Minnesota. By state law all absentee ballots should be counted by April 13, unless the GOP starts with the obstructionist law suits again.

Tipos are the root of all evil but I think that's a spoonerism.

John Hanson (1715-1783) was the first president (1780-1783) of the United States under the Confederation before the Oligarchs took power with the Constitution which allowed Bush to be president and the ownership of guns. Hanson was an Oldenburg Moor, a black nobleman, and like Elijah-Moses-Enoch-Baptist-Mahdi-Elvis, went to space on a fiery alien ship and never died. Hanson has returned as Obama to end the evil Oligarchy! This is why they could never find Obama's birth certificate! Danny Lazare is right to want to change this NRA chad Oligarch Constitution which allows the angry white talk radio males to object to Obama's berth certificate! We must impeach Scalia to disable the southern oligarchs of Calhoun, Corker, & Shelby and their demented Constitution. They have this evil bill of rights with rights for hate speech, guns, lobbyist blogging, campaign bribery, states, property, bonuses, and other oligarchic thievery that needs to end! Such euphemism, like when they call you boy as if they ever intend to call you man when you "grow"! This is why we must oppose oligarch-serving superstition by supporting one-state solutions in India-Packistain, Palestain-Isreal, Turkey-Grease, Armeania-Asbyjean and Zahir-Condo. Then we can abolish greed and superstition across the globe with free psychiatric healthcare.
