What policies of Franken's make you want to puke?
The Almighty
Because he is yet another over the top moron, just like O'Reilly, Hannity etc...
To be clear, yes I would agree that he has a good capacity for intellect, he just doesn't exercise it. He acts like a petulent moron instead.

They use mean annual and five year means in trend analysis. Don't tell me I have to explain the difference to you. "

Oh so it has nothing to do with what he will do as a legislator just that you don't like him?

LMAO... wrong Desh, they used optical scanners in MN. They simply made an 'error' when reporting Frankens numbers.... oddly, they made the EXACT same 'error' for Obama. Also, if I recall correctly, this is a town that favored Dems and was run by them. If that is correct, I seriously doubt they tried to shaft both Franken and Obama.

Given that he has never held public office, I do not KNOW what he will do as a legislator. It would be the same if O'Reilly was elected. I know which side of the fence they both sit on, but I have know idea how either would react to the DC environment. So yes, it is an opinion based on what I have heard from the two idiots.

They didn't follow directions, now it is up to lawyers and judges to try to interpret the meaning of two marks in two different bubbles for the same election. They should just get thrown out. They had their chance to vote.

I always hate the psychic determination inherent in hand counting. As people challenge and argue trying to divine the exact intent of some idiot who voted for both candidates or who didn't vote for Senator but voted the rest of the ballot.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.

Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

If I am not mistaken, and I may be, Franken is not a fan of private gun ownership. That is a big issue for me.
I also think he is behind Gore on the Global Warming issue. If he is behind it based on actual accurate info, then I am fine with that. If he is backing Gore on this issue and using the bogus numbers we have seen, or ignoring the data that disagrees with the Gore models, I have a problem with that.
Other than that, I am fine with Franken. He dislikes O'Reilly, so he obviously has some taste.
The Almighty
If there aren't any marks for Senator then the only obvious choice is a no-vote for that race. I left the Presidential slot blank intentionally as I did not want to vote for any of the candidates. If some idiot came back and determined that I 'intended' to vote for someone I would be pissed.
granted we had electronic voting machines that did not have paper ballots so who knows... maybe I did vote for someone.... right Desh?

Hey SF, can we agree to just wait until the recount of St. Louis county is complete before throwing out these allegations of fraud? Please. I'm growing very tired of you repeating this canard.
