Lies And The Lying Liars... An Autobiography
Al Franken, the once-funny comedian and never-funny radio host of yore, is running for the U.S. Senate in Minnesota. In an embarrassing confusion of celebrity and credibility, Franken's ego has been seduced by the satirical theme of his book, "Why Not Me," in which he becomes President.
Of course, running for a high office invites scrutiny and investigation. And it didn't take long to discover that Franken's closet was filled to capacity. Apparently, Franken has announced that he owes $70,000 in back taxes and penalties in 17 states, arising from his tax evasion and illegal failure to purchase workers' compensation insurance. Ironically, the late Minnesota Senator Paul Wellstone, who Franken likened a friend and role-model, also failed to provide insurance to employees (including those who perished alongside the Senator when their plane crashed).
Franken is a lewd, untempered and, apparently, corrupt personality. His ascension in the Democratic ranks should be a source of shame and regret for grown-ups in the Democratic rank-and-file. Franken no doubt assumes that he can tell a couple of jokes and sway the unthinking masses - but if he is correct, there's no doubt who the joke is truly on.

OBAMA HAS BASED HIS ENTIRE CAMPAIGN ON LIES!
OBAMA REFUSES TO DEBATE IN INDIANA AND NC. HE HAS TO READ HIS PRETTY SPEECHES FROM A SCRIPT. HE IS A WIMP! NO WAY CAN HE LEAD OUR COUNTRY!
I VOTE FOR WHAT I KNOW.
I KNOW that America prospered during the Clinton Administration. Everyone was doing well, gas prices were low, stock market was good, no war, people could afford their homes, good life, we had a surplus...
I KNOW that Hillary is an intelligent, strong, resilient and powerful candidate who can stand up for America AND fight to defend us from our enemies.
I also KNOW that MUSLIMS and ANTI-AMERICAN RADICALS have never served our country and are against our Constitution, our Christian faith and our American way of life. I will never put a radical person who doesn't know who or what he is in our White House. Obama still has not explained himself.
GOD BLESS HILLARY
AND GOD BLESS AMERICA.

Maybe Al Franken can help Obama find his inflatable pig... it too has "lost it's way"
Inflatable pig lost after Roger Waters' Coachella set

INDIO, Calif. (AP) - Have you seen this pig? It's huge, inflatable, features the word "Obama" and it has lost its way in the California desert.
Organizers for the Coachella music festival announced that the gigantic blowup swine, released into the night sky during Roger Waters' headlining set Sunday, was still out there - and they want it back.
The festival is offering a $10,000 reward plus four Coachella tickets for life for the safe return of the pig, according to spokeswoman Marcee Rondan.
As tall as a two-story house and as wide as two school buses, the pig was led from lines held on the ground Sunday as Waters played a version of Pink Floyd's "Pigs" from the 1977 album "Animals." Then it just floated away.
"It wasn't really supposed to happen that way. I don't have the details," Rondan told The Associated Press.
CAROLINA7:07PMApr 30th 2008
If the media had told the truth months ago --- the Senator from Illinois would have been out of the Democratic race months ago.
He's outspent Hillary 4 to 1 and still can't stop her. He can't possibly lead our country.
Just study Obama's tax plan that will hurt the Middle Class and retirees and you will change your mind---otherwise, open your pockets. Don't forget the never- ending closed doors and Obama's actions pertaining to NAFTA and pulling out of Iraq. Obama lied and started saying that he had no control of his campaign committeem --- now known as the 'Obama mafia'.
His entire campaign has been run on lies.
TOO MANY LIES --- TOO MANY TIES TO TERRORISTS AND ANTI-AMERICANS.
THINKABOUTIT7:33PMApr 30th 2008
MICHELLE NEEDS MORE “WHITE” PEOPLE --- OBAMA NEEDS MORE “DUMB” PEOPLE!
THIS JUST IN: “WE NEED MORE DUMB PEOPLE”
Obama is forming the backdrop for his November aspirations: 5 yellow people, 4 brown people, 20 white people, 1 black person, 4 green people, 20 purple people and 55 “million” dumb people required.
The Obama committee will move people around from where they were sitting to have more “dumb” people in the front row, sitting directly behind Obama, to cheer him on.
Obama, Michelle, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, Kennedy, Kerry, bomber Ayers and GD America Jeremiah Wright are stuck on stupid! THEY THINK WE HAVE 48 STATES --- NOT 50!
DON’T YOU JUST LOVE IT!
HILLARY 2008!
CONCERNED8:01PMApr 30th 2008
WHY IS O’REILLY PROTECTING OBAMA — THE CANDIDATE WE DON’T KNOW?
THE QUESTION IS: WHO IS BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA?
THE ANSWER IS: NOBODY KNOWS.
BILL SHOULD NOT INTERVIEW HILLARY TONIGHT AND ASK HARD QUESTIONS UNLESS HE DOES THE SAME TO OBAMA.
INDIANA AND NORTH CAROLINA HAVE NOT VOTED YET.
OBAMA WON'T GO ON O'REILLY UNTIL AFTER MORE STATES VOTE. HE IS A LYING "CHICKEN". ARE ALL THE CHICKENS COMING HOME TO ROOST?
THIS IS NOT FAIR AND BALANCED.

Memo to the DNC --- End the Drama - Pull the Plug on Obama!!!!
Obama is unelectable. The whole point is that Obama cant just give a 'speech' again, that will just contradict every speeches he gave before. Obama calls him my "UNCLE" and soul "MENTOR" when things go right. OBAMA now saying he is not my PASTOR anymore? His "UNCLE" and soul "MENTOR" for over 20 years. Like Wright said, OBAMA will say things as a politician and these are one of them.
Wright has been consistent. He is the same guy he was on those tapes 7 years ago. 10 years ago. 20 years ago. He was the same guy all along. Obama suggesting he is OUTRAGED only now, but not over the last 20 years is literally impossible.
There are liberal media who still thinks he will be the next president, and I can tell you nowhere near as many people today think he will be as they did last week or 6 weeks ago. They will STILL try to spin it for Obama.
Now we know why all the Obama supporters tried to FORCE Clinton out after Ohio and Texas, when they were SURE Obama would win those states and knock her out. Well, he lost there and then he lost big in PA after calling the HARD WORKING BLUE COLLAR AMERICANS "BITTER" so they cling to GUNS, RELIGION and ANTIPATHY? How stupid OBAMA can get assuming we will easily forget about his "BITTER" comments? He does not share my views and millions of hard working BLUE COLLARS in AMERICA and we will never forget and never vote for him.
The Wright situation will NOT go away.
The bomber Ayers situation will not disappear.
The "Bitter" comment had damaged his relationship with BLUE COLLAR WORKERS forever.
The Unpatriotic and Plagiarism issues will always be an issue.
The rank 1st Liberal Senator will always be his picture that every Conservatives wouldn't want to see
His involvement with indicted businessman REZKO will hunt him down a month or few from now.
THERE ARE SO MANY MORE GUNS THE REPUBLICANS CAN USE AGAINST OBAMA!
MOST OF ALL, He sat in the pew for 20 years. You can’t wish 20 years of your personal life away with a “pretty” speech.
HILLARY OR McCAIN IN 2008!
BITTERRURALAMERICAN8:43PMApr 30th 2008
Sorry Obama supporters...I firmly believe you are making a MAJOR mistake.
I would never consider voting for a man who did not stand up for America in his church, or to a hate-spewing, America-damning, so-called "spiritual” mentor-"pastor".
If Obama could not stand up for America there, in his church, with that man (OVER A 20-YEAR PERIOD), I do not expect him to stand up for America when it counts!!!
NOW THAT HIS POLL NUMBERS ARE DROPPING --- HE DENOUNCES WRIGHT --- TOO LITTLE --- TOO LATE!
HILLARY 2008!

Ah, come on, Justin, lighten up - isn't Minnesota the state that gave us Jesse Ventura as Governor?
At least Al is entertaining in comparison to milquetoast Norm Coleman.
