		<description>Senator Franken

I have great respect for anyone who sticks to his guns when the easiest route is to turn tail—like so many of the Democrats have done in the past 8 years. But you, sir, have not!  But your tribulations are just beginning.  Dirty politics will continue, hitting you with every thing they have; right, left and below the belt.  I have placed faith on many politicians, especially, the Democrats.  They have betrayed their duties and the promises they made to reverse the criminal acts and actions of the Bush administration.  This included President Obama.  But you are different.  You stood your ground while other Democrats would have found an excuse to quit, to get paid off or hop over to the other side.  Your long battle is not over, sir.  It&#039;s just beginning.  To come to the aid of the common man, the ordinary guy and gal, who work hard for their daily bread, means you&#039;ll be giving rub burns to the corporate/industrial/financial monsters , the pro conservative power structure of this nation.  They don&#039;t give up, they don&#039;t play fair and they don’t forget or forgive.  Be prepare, Mr. Franken.  The most dangerous opponents you will be facing will be your &quot;liberal&quot; cohorts, beginning with the President.  They will try to discredit you for your “attempt” to right the wrongs what this Congress have visited upon this nation. In other words, trying to upset their ill-gotten apple carts. 
     Again, my whole hardiness and congratulation on your senatorial success.  

Forever your follower,

Franken is not unqualified. Being a politician your whole life isnt the only way to be qualified. That is why we VOTE. Franken got a degree in Polic Sci from Harvard and has had his fingers in politics since he was IN Harvard. Anyone who thinks, and several here have pointed out it is naive to do so, that Dems will vote lockstep is fooling themselves. Franken is a smart, strong progressive voice and THAT is why I sent him money even though I live in Arizona. That and Coleman was a weasel</description>

		<description>&lt;em&gt;It is also scary when your primary reason seems to be to get to the magic number 60 to stop republicans. then you say the republicans are the party of no (when the democrats stopped Bush from making any progress on welfare, health care reform, etc.)&lt;/em&gt;

Stop republicans from obstructing democratic initiatives?  Only a conservative could assert such a loopy, muddled view.  Drinking too much wine, made from those fermented sour grapes will clearly cause some deluded thinking.  Get some therapy, before the hate totally consumes you.</description>

		<description>Congress needs intelligent people who are quick studies. People who understand what a theory is and so forth, and are capable of doing research as a regular part of their decision making process. Congress needs people who can deliberate. Congress needs people who &lt;em&gt;want&lt;/em&gt; to serve the people. I&#039;ll bet Franken is all of those things, plus he is comfortable in the lime-light and media savvy.</description>

First, if you look at the Senate, a good number of them are from non-political pasts.  Be it &quot;heck of a job Brownie&quot; or Michele Bachman, being qualified isn&#039;t always a genuine seal of approval (which is the point I think you&#039;re making about Reagan).</description>

		<description>It is sacry as an independent to hear your glee in getting Al Franken, an unqualified individual seated in the senate. Especially since I have read your criticism of Reagan for being an actor turned politician. At least Reagan had experience in politics, with his work as president of screen actors guild in the era of black listing, then as governor of California. It is also scary when your primary reason seems to be to get to the magic number 60 to stop republicans. then you say the republicans are the party of no (when the democrats stopped Bush from making any progress on welfare, health care reform, etc.) Doesn&#039;t it seem hypocritical to cricize the republicans for being sheep that follow their leader, when you you celebrate that all 60 democrats would vote the same way? Doesn&#039;t it bother you that you sound exactly like the republicans, who you hate?</description>
