1. Well shit add mine

Fuck you Franken. Work for the people, not the corporations or go back to your sad comedy routine.

2. Are you a Minnesota voter?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

5. I am, and I'm very disappointed in Al Franken.

I didn't send him any "mean" tweets, although I did post a polite and respectful expression of disagreement with his endorsement on his Facebook page.

17. I am and I worked for Al to get elected - but I agree with #1.

3. Fuck Every stupid corporate owned asshole in Congress

[Nyan]

4. Is this some kind of effort to make her likable?

I think they're underestimating how many people can't stand her.
Go to YouTube page. This video has 857 likes vs 4631 dislikes. And they're not even allowing to comment on it.

6. 858 Likes

858 Likes ... just added mine.

[Nyan]

7. I don't think you get my point.

People don't like her because she's not on their side.
Lloyd Blankfein and Alice Walton are on her side -and they're the Super Predators against we the people.

8. 4632 dislikes

Since I just added mine.

[Enthusiast]

9. I'm sorry I ever sent Al Franken those meager donations.

Never again.

10. What happened to Franken...seriously?

I'd love to know the process by which they turn Wellstone liberals into corporate toadies.

I mean...what in the hell happens?

Blackmail? Mind-control smoothies served on the Senate floor? Or it just simply that people are human and want to be liked by the popular crowd?

I don't get it.

How does someone like that get assimilated into the Borg?

[Nyan]

14. How many of them do we have left now?

Howard Dean has thoroughly sold out. He's gone through the Washington revolving door.
Alan Grayson, not so reliable anymore.
At this rate, I'm not even sure we can count on Warren to not sell out.

[Enthusiast]

15. I don't get it either.

Maybe he just isn't giving the important issues much consideration. He might simply be taking the easy road rather than the road less traveled. Either way it is a great disappointment to me.

[Plucketeer]

19. That IS the mystifying question, ain't it?

We manage to recruit willing warriors and send them to fight for us - and the ultimate result is that their resolve turns to mush. Howard Dean is the latest example to make us groan. All we can conclude is that the tide of money makes heroin look like child's play.

"Here ya go, dupe. Here's a nice little deposit to ease life along for you and yours. Take it, enjoy it and be mindful of the things I'd rather you quit saying henceforth. And don't forget - there's MORE where that came from!"

21. Franken was DLC before he was a senator

I used to watch him on Dave Letterman's show. Back then I was surprised at his conservativish answers to Dave.

When he ran, I was not excited. He is not a progressive. He may show signs on a few issues, but basically is a Third Way dem.

11. Isn't "mean tweets" Jimmy Kimmel's schtick? n/t

[Bluenorthwest]

12. Al has buried his sense of humor and rarely uses it against Republicans and now he seems to think

that smirking at other Democratic voters suitable comportment. 'I don't always punch, but when I do I punch down.'

Al got what he has by making fun of everything he's become.

13. K&R!

[MrMickeysMom]

16. This is where the comedian part of the resume comes in handy...

It worked well on SNL, but here, not so much.

[YOHABLO]

18. I am really surprised he's not a Sanders supporter.

I guess once you get inducted into the club...

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

20. Well it looks like Al Franken has been thrown under the Bernie bus

Truth is I feel Sanders is a good guy. Franken says as much.

It just seems many of Bernie Sanders' supporters are lacking in social skills. They sure as hell aren't doing him or his campaign any favors.
