Al Franken in 2016?

[Badger]

Al Franken would cause me to vote for the Republican, even if it were Huckabee or Palin.

Dude, Franken is a New Dealer!

Of course if lucky Franken would run against one of the 30 pro-gang rape GOP senators.

That's right, I said: "Pro-gang rape". Read and watch

If you want to make a fully informed decision, take 6 minutes of your life and listen to Franken presenting his amendment on the senate floor. I'll be damned if the comedian hasn't come into his own.

And do yourself a favor and see Jon Stewart's take on the "debate" over rape.

Cornyn just lost my vote when he is up for re-election. I dont like Franken but it is hypocritical to defund ACORN which was right to do but then vote this down.

Good for you. I'd probably vote against cutting off or seriously reducing ACORN funding too (gasp! liberal apostasy!). For all the right made them a straw man and wrongly claimed it was actually registering fraudulent voters (as opposed to hiring schmoes who would falsely fill in the registration forms with Mickey Mouse or the Dallas Cowboys lineup and thus rip ACORN off for a quick buck), ACORN has proven it simply can't manage itself right now and SERIOUSLY needs to clean house.

For all the undeniable good work ACORN's done in the past for lower income Americans, there are many other well run nonprofits out there with the same goals and the added bonus of actually having their s%it together who currently deserve that funding much more.
