6. It is all politics now. I would be surprised if Al was able to stand up against this pressure.

10. Yep. I think it's at the point where it's dangerous not to.

This is a shameful day for the Dems.

2. HMMMM

3. oh why not

the republicans piss in our faces and we thank them for it.

4. These 11 women have staffs, advisers and experience that I do not.

I just decided that I am not going to freak out about Franken and trust they know what they are doing. I respect Harris and Warren as much as I have ever respected Franken, so I choose to assume they know what they are doing. What other option do we have at this point?

I have to believe these are women of character if I want to remain a Democrat. If they are all 11 just running for political cover, and not thinking of what is best for the future, than the Party is pretty much screwed anyway.

5. I think most of it is because of political cover

7. I'm just accepting we can't win and evil is going to triumph.

Seems to be the way things are going. Republicans are untouchable, while Democrats destroy ourselves.

[question everything]

8. What happened to presumption of innocence until proven guilty? (nt)

[mythology]

9. This isn't a criminal trial

[question everything]

12. Should still hold (nt)

16. BS.....the burden of PROOF is on the accuser

"if it involves unwanted touching, physical intimidation, or even some extreme forms of coercion, it can quickly turn into sexual assault, which is a serious crime."

Isn't that what all of these women claim? So the burden of PROOF is squarely on THEM,not Franken.

11. thanks liz

13. That just makes me sad

I expected better from her than to join a stupid angry mob.

[lunamagica]

15. She showed who she was after her comments on the Brazile book

17. nothing like giving the man

an investigation to let him have his say, this is disgusting. Senator Franken was truly set up.

Oh by the way Senator Warren you have nothing to say or a very short memory when McConnell shut you down on the Senate floor why don't you go after him???? do you think he was treating you fairly by shutting you down? Damn.

You think with all the support and calls being made to support Sen Franken he would say I would like to be investigated and not asked to resign by the wishes of the American people.
