Big Al, the kiddies pal!

 

 

 

"A friend from another state asked me how we were so dumb to elect a guy like Al. I responded that we even might be even dumber if we re-elect him..."

 

 

 

You have got to be kidding me. A recent local poll shows Al Franken still ahead of Mike McFadden by double digits. And the reason for that really escapes me. Now we all remember the very shaky election which happened six years ago. John Fund of the Wall Street Journal has written about that election more than once when addressing voter fraud. Big Al, the comic from SNL, beat out a very experienced Senator by a handful of votes. And many of those votes, as well as how they were counted, remain suspect today.

 

After the election was over and Al was getting ready to be sworn in, one of the TV stations was doing "man (or woman) on the street" interviews to find out why people voted for Big Al. In Minneapolis, some of the more common answers were "he is cool", or 'he is funny", or "I didn't know he was from Minnesota - that is so awesome!" This was a fine example of careful vetting by the low information crowd.

 

So now here he is, using his acting classes in order to look very senatorial, telling us all the good things he has done for us during the past six years. Let me will tell you what he has done for the people of Minnesota - he has voted with the President 97% of the time. Yes, our "Big Al" has shown himself to be nothing but a mind numbed robot.

 

He may have become rich due to his comedy royalties, but the people in Minnesota have not. Many have seen their average income drop 6% from 2007 to the end of 2013. Yet many costs continue to go up. Call me a fool, but what I expect Senators from Minnesota tell the people they represent is very simple. Yes, jobs are being created, but they are not the same jobs as the ones which were lost. They have lower hours, pay lower wages, and offer lower benefits. Just because the President can't tell the truth, does not mean our Senators need to obfuscate.

 

As far as ObamaCare is concerned, due in large part to voter fraud, Big Al was the 60th vote. This is just plain a fact folks. If not for Big Al getting in, we would not be suffering with this train wreck called the ACA. By the way, people from all areas of the political spectrum are finding out the "Affordable" word in the healthcare title is the greatest misnomer ever created. It is not affordable. It is bad and getting worse. Just wait a week or two in Minnesota when the new rates are disclosed. When that happens, remember that Al Franken's fingerprints are all over this mess.

 

We have an excellent and a quality candidate ready to take Al's Senate seat early next year. Some on the Left have said Mike is not qualified. Oh contraire, I say. Mike is ten times more qualified than Al was when he was sworn in. Mike McFadden understands Minnesota. Mike understands business. Mike understands what it takes to create real jobs and give people a good living. Al on the other hand, understands only Comedy Central.

 

This November lets reverse the mistake we made six years ago. We need to let Al go back to the comedy clubs in California. We really need Mike in the Senate. This is an immutable fact. We don't need 6 more years of someone voting 97% of the time for socialist programs.
