Help Get Rid of Senator Norm Coleman, Top Bush Supporter
Edited on Mon Oct-13-08 08:45 AM by pathansen
Minnesotans, here is a simple idea. Print out the following and then make copies for literature drops.

NORM COLEMAN: MINNESOTA’S “EXTREME MAKEOVER” CANDIDATE

This is an inspiring true story of a Senator from Minnesota trying to transform his image from one of the biggest supporters of George Bush to an "Independent."

What is Norm Coleman hiding in his closet?
Visit: http://www.candidatemakeover.com/doors.html to find out. Here is a preview:

1. TOP BUSH BUDDY -. AS PRINCIPAL CHEERLEADER FOR THE BUSH-CHENEY ADMINISTRATION, Coleman backed Bush on every major issue from the economy to Bush’s failed Iraq War strategy. In some recent years, Coleman voted with Bush 98% of the time. Called George Bush “Part of God’s Answer.” Coleman was designated as one of Karl Rove’s “Principal Defenders” in Congress.

2. ECONOMY - Together Bush and Coleman increased our national debt to over 9 Trillion Dollars. Coleman voted to give 40 billion to companies sending our jobs overseas and 300 billion to the drug companies. Also wants to spend another trillion to privatize social security!

3. IS NOW LYING ABOUT BEING AN ENVIRONMENTALIST- Coleman is now claiming to be an an environmentalist to get re-elected. Coleman has sided with Big Oil time after time, and has taken nearly $265,000 from oil and gas interests. He strongly supported the Bush-Cheney plan to give billions in tax giveaways to oil and gas companies and even voted against renewable energy sources. Voted Against Reducing Dangerous Greenhouse Gases. Drafted Plan To Strip Control of Carbon Dioxide Emissions; Carbon Dioxide Would Not Be Considered A Pollutant Under Coleman’s Idea.

4. FAILED TO INVESTIGATE WAR PROFITEERING - Norm Coleman held zero hearings as chairman of a Senate Committee on Investigations. Coleman failed to hold contractors like Halliburton accountable for overcharging in Iraq. Instead, he had the committee look into music downloading on the Internet, while over $13 Billion Meant for Reconstruction was Wasted or Stolen.

5. MORE - Norm Coleman is not on our side. (a) He voted against $65 billion to help veterans. (b) Coleman Ranked 2nd In Senate For Privately Financed Trips. (c) Health insurance - He has accepted $575,000 from the insurance industry and has voted against measures that would have covered more uninsured Americans, including children.

Remember when Coleman originally pretended to be a Democrat to get into Minnesota politics?
LETS NOT BE FOOLED AGAIN WITH HIS LIES!
