DFL Clains Senate Seat Belongs To Wellstone

August 14th, 2008 | by Sqotty |

Democrats have a way of asserting things that are absolutely false. To wit, I ran across a piece on the faltering Al Franken Senatorial Campaign in the New York Sun. Sorting through all the usual reasons leading up to the probable demise of the Frankenfurter’s Senate bid, there is the following statement by a hard-line DFLer:

A DFL spokesman said the party endorsed Mr. Franken “by acclamation” and fully expected him to win. “We’re putting every resource into helping him beat Norm Coleman and take back Paul Wellstone’s seat in November,” the spokesman, John Stiles, said.

Will someone please tell these Moonbats running the DFL that there is not now, nor has there ever been, a seat in the U.S. Senate that belonged to Paul Wellstone or any other senator! Elected office is at the will of the people. The “seats”, or office, belong to the people as a whole. Sometimes tragic things happen in elections. But just because Wellstone died before the election does not mean that there is a U.S. Senate seat that belonged to him.

This is right up there with the Loony-Left’s call “to take back our country!” They sound as if they have an absolute right to power in this country. It’s our country. It does not belong to one party or one ideology, but to all of the People who make up the U.S.A. As in “We the People…”

Oh, and park that d@mn bus while your at it.
