Norm still had training wheels. This story is about Norm's conversion to the right side of this issue.

Today, Senator Norm Coleman stands against those who threaten the sanctity of open elections and the secret ballot, an honored tradition which stands at the very root of our democracy.

It's no surprise that trade labor thugs are willing to trample workers rights to maintain their control, but I have to ask again.

Why does Al "Porn-O-Rama" Franken and the Democrat party hate democracy, Paul?

Nice try, tjpffft. From the WCCO story:

"As the Republican Mayor of St. Paul, Coleman signed a unanimous city council resolution asking businesses to stay out of union elections and allow unions to form by signing union cards."

But then, facts and this asshat have been perfect strangers for years.

Coleman used to be a Democrat. So it stands to reason that he's done plenty of things I'm sure he's ashamed of today.

What is important is that as Senator Coleman prepares to start his next term of office, he has realized that supporting union thuggery is wrong, and has come out in strong support of the sanctity of the secret ballot...you remember the secret ballot, don't you, Paul? Our country was founded on it and stands upon it today.

Why does the Democrat party hate Democracy, Paul?
