(17,235 posts)I have lost my respect for many of them as they seem to want to "take the easy way out" instead of fighting for what is right. I hope Al Franken continues the fight to clear his name. I am afraid there are some of these so-called sexually harassed women that are total frauds.

But when I last checked, we should have a thing called due process. Nothing Franken has done nor anything these senators could possibly have dreamed up could have curtailed his right to that.

(9,426 posts)pedophiles, but the dems. ostracize Franken? If Roy Moore can dig his heels in to get elected, why can't Franken dig in his heels to KEEP THE JOB he was elected to do? Franken should declare that he will resign (if proven guilty of something) as soon as tRump resigns when his charges are proven.

(6,829 posts)republics do entrapment and personal destruction. because it works. witness o'keefe's most recent bogus moore accuser washington post "sting". well, that didnt work out so well, but he did the deed destroying acorn.
doesn't leannes association with hannity and stone seem exactly like an o'keefe plan? the same entrapment over and over.....And isn't there a pot of corrupt cash waiting to reward leanne, like the way o'keefe gets fucking millions of dollars donated to his non-profit?
why do not the senate dems calling for his head practice basic principles of democracy - like due process? get the investigation going. put leanne under oath.
its like senate dems believe in burning witches or human sacrifice? stoning on the town green. it's like the dems are content with being only 20% less cruel and despicable than republics!
dems, you fools, you cant negotiate with republics. they have no sense of basic human decency!
