I'll be right behind you doing the same thing.

Now I realize that Merc isn't the fringe, Merc is where the fringe is stitched onto the jacket.

Ever since the Republican party imploded, Merc has lost a few stitches. When the last few pop loose, it will be interesting to see where he lands.;)
I guess if I was a Republican it would make a difference for me, but since I haven't voted a straight party ticket for over 10 years you can't count me in that club. I haven't lost any stitches, in fact I've gained stitches much closer to the middle. :D

It would be more fun if it wasnt so easy...debunking your "facts" is like taking candy from a baby.

Wait..I dont think I have ever seen you post a fact with a cite.

LOL. Ok. Whatever you want to believe.

OK, in the three years since this story "broke", have there been any further investigations, new information, any arrests or convictions?

Nope. But like I said it is about his integrity and refusal to discuss the issue. Personally I am waiting for his first stab at telling jokes in front of the Senate and having them in the Congressional Record. It should be good.

On the other hand, its not clear if Coleman is currently under investigation by the FBI...or if he would be subject to a Senate ethics investigation if by some miracle, he could legally create those 250+ votes he needs to return to the Senate.

Quote:
While Coleman's legal team prepares their appeal to the Minnesota Supreme Court, a case involving Coleman's buddy Nasser Kazeminy in Texas continues to take too much time to begin. Kazeminy is accused of trying to funnel $100,000 to Coleman's family through his wife's workplace.

Both sides of the case are asking for another 30-day extension to prepare. That would be on top of the Feb. 3 delay of 60 days.

Coleman is not a party in the case, but could be under investigation by the FBI for possible violations as a U.S. Senator if he did receive the money and failed to report it. Kazeminy and Coleman have been denied any of these allegations.

I thought you had a problem with using blogs as a source of citation.

Anyway if Coleman is guilty of fabricating votes he should be brought up on charges by the FBI.

That is why I said it "was not clear" that Coleman is under investigation by the FBI as part of a case involving a friend/contributor in Texas.

Yea, I sort of said the same thing when I discussed "enough red flags" concerning Franken. But I see where you are setting your bar for citations.

No...you said there were "plenty of facts" to support the allegations about Franken's role in fraudulent loans.

I'll make a deal with you.

I wont cite blogs and editorials if you don't. :)

But then what would you have for most of your baseless posts?

I would fall back on your process of falling back on blogs as citations when you lack similar facts. Pretty obvious.

Fact is Al Franken was up to his neck and the citations posted show that clearly.

The fact is that Franken is not up to his neck in anything except in the eyes of the wing nuts who, after it is all over, will still be screaming about Franken stealing the election in a state with a republican governor, republican majority election commission and republican majority supreme court.

I wont cite blogs and editorials in the future if you don't.

Deal?
