Yeah, I am coming to the realization most political aware people are not simply ignorant, but are WILLFULLY so. I keep hearing this argument to equate Moore to Franken, but Franken (and others) did this WHILE they were in Senate. Moore whatever he did was as a private citizen.

But McConnell takes the cake - already trumpeting that he intends to take Moore before an ethics committee. If that happens then ANYONE can be taken before the committee - for anything, even say a shoplifting charge from when they were 12 years old.

I can't believe McConnell can be so ignorant or at least so venomous to go for this.

Not to mention the fact there is photographic evidence of Franken grabbing some woman’s boobs.

Incorrect. He’s only been a senator for 8 years. He was first elected in 2008.

Yes, just the lack of critical thinking that is employed. Franken = photo evidence. Moore = 40 year old accusations.

The only reason he resigned is because there is more photos.

It’s almost as if someone got all of Hillary’s files the way these flies are getting smacked.

Franken hasn’t resigned as of yet. When Moore wins the AL senator election
next Tuesday it will become a media frenzy and who knows what will be said
in the Senate as Moore is takes the oath.

It’s been the game all along. Weinstein, Franken, a few news guys...

All to the big buildup of God knows what women coming out against Trump.

But the dems forgot one thing.

No one really cares. They didn’t care under clinton when REAL crimes were committed and they won’t care about the nonsense that is thrown at Trump.

They will look at their 401k or their raise or their paycheck from their new job.

Al didn’t resign today. He said he would resign in the future.

Then he said he wasn’t guilty of doing anything wrong. Implication is all of his accusers are liars. He said he’d be cleared by the Ethics Comittee.

Rush thinks Franken might change his mind. Listen to the pathetic speech today and Al certainly kept the door open.

Msm spin was predictable. Change the subject to Moore and Trump.

We need that full list of the $17m payoffs to come out. Give us another dozen Democrats and RINOs to purge.

We need the notes the Village Voice reporter secretly made of Matt Lauer’s un-televized roast and the $17M payoff list. And we need for Hillary to get the death sentence, preferably by beheading. Or maybe somebody could just accidentally throw water on her and we can watch her melt.

Yep....he’s touting himself, tooting his own horn...while asking how a man who has been taped saying things about women can sit in the oval office...

Sheesh! "Trump said things! All I did was grope women." Liberal logic at its best.

Yep, Fauxahontus has a pimp bill to pay, so she remains saddled with keeping her yap shut.”

I was wondering what I missed on Fauxahontus, maybe you should take your meds.>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Here’s what you missed on Fauxahontus:

*****************************************************

“But the tone of her telling, recounted on NBC’S ‘Meet the Press,’ appears to be inconsistent with the reportedly more lighthearted manner in which she described the same incident two decades after it occurred, during the memorial service for the senior University of Houston faculty member she accused of pursuing her around his office.

“During the service after his death in 1997, Warren spoke fondly of law professor Eugene Smith and told the gathered mourners she was laughing as Smith chased her around his desk, according to a colleague’s memoir. The writer of the memoir, however, now says he might have treated the incident too lightly.”

Maybe so, but either way, one version of the story is clearly not true. And to make the latest iteration even less plausible, the Globe noted that Warren failed to mention on “Meet The Press” that Smith had polio.

So this sex-crazed faculty member — who’d had “many falls in his life due to polio,” according to his obituary on FindaGrave.com — chased a “panicked” Warren around his desk?

Yes, cue the hate indeed. Cue the hate for the idea that someone could try to take something that was sparked out of solidarity for women who had actually been abused and turn it into just another stepping stone for her inclusion into something that was clearly not about her.

Considering Warren is a widely talked about candidate for the Democrat presidential nomination in 2020, the whole affair seems a little too suspect.

She should be ashamed for trying to take away from the true experiences of women who really were harassed and abused. Just another liberal trying to jump on the bandwagon.

I have not seen Lieawatha’s name on the list of female Rat senators calling for Franken’s resignation, have you?>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

She has shut up, has her own problem explaining how her polio ridden harasser could chase her around the desk. She has consequentially shut up. A rare thing, LOL.
