As you probably know, Air America Liberal idiot Al Franken is running against incumbent Senator Norm Coleman (R-Minn.) in Minnesota. Well, the Coleman campaign is ready. Via Hot Air, originally at Captain’s Quarters. Ed outlines the main inaccuracies:
“We have to start a withdrawal, I believe, and have a timeline.” (10/5/07)
“I’m not sure we should set a timetable myself. I may actually, oddly enough, agree with Bush here.” (6/16/06)
“I neither spoke out advocating the war or against the war.” (8/21/07)
“Well, first of all, I never spoke out in favor of this war.” (9/30/07)
“No one spoke out louder about this war than I did, and more consistently.” (9/30/07)
“We’ll cut funds is the bluntest instrument, where you are undercutting our troops in the field, no one is going to do that.” (11/29/06)
“I think you make the President cutoff funding for the troops.” (614/07)
“I’m not for cutting off funding for the troops, and neither is the President” (10/10/07)
Ed notes that Coleman hasn’t exactly been rock solid on the war (originally opposing the surge), but his overall support has been steady and consistent.
