GOP Leaders' New Web Video: Please Send Money To Norm
The GOP leadership is stepping up their public appeals for everyone to help Norm Coleman keep this trial going. The Coleman camp has posted this YouTube, featuring prominent Capitol Hill Republicans asking for donations:
"I'm proud of Norm and his perseverance," says Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who is currently the head of the NRSC. "I'm proud that he is willing to continue to fight hard to represent the people of Minnesota, and to make sure that their votes count. And we want him back."
Keep in mind that this lawsuit has made sure that not only is Norm Coleman not representing the people of Minnesota -- but nobody is, because the Republicans have blocked any idea of seating Al Franken provisionally. And as a result, the voters of Minnesota don't count as much as other states in the Senate.

Can you imagine a bigger waste of money?
This is about as productive at this point as donating to Roland Burris.

From the Republican perspective, it's a great return on a relatively small investment. It's like buying a Senate seat (or more accurately, a vacancy in the opposing party, which amounts to the same thing).

Damn, I forgot how cynical they are.

Hey TMP. Put up a video response with some Coleman garbage on it like his corruption charges and stuff.

What happens to these folks if Norm Coleman is indicted and eventually lands in the pokey? Wouldn't these vids look great in a Dem opponent ad?

"please send us money to help subvert the will of voters, and prevent the people of minnesota from being fully represented." yeah that sounds pretty standard for the GOP.

Isn't this Socialism? (Even if it really doesn't meet the definition, isn't it *really* just Socialism?)
Sorry, Norm. I'm broke. You know, the bad economy and all.
