I’m a feminist. I study rape culture. And I don’t want Al Franken to resign.

I’m skeptical about anyone who micro-manages an issue......as you did.

It comes down to this....SHE SAID SHE FELT SEXUALLY HARASSED.......that’s all that matters.

Your tortured opinion is worth zilch.....

The woman who is the victim of Franken gets to frame the issue.

Not you.

I am a Feminist: The Left’s Agenda comes before the rule of law. A feminist will vote for a known rapist as long as he votes the right way.

Hmm, someone should ask her how she feels about Franken’s proposed “skit” about raping Lesley Stahl or his comments about homosexuals? Nah... he’s one of her guys.

The US is turning tribal. It doesn’t matter what someone does if he or she is a member of the right tribe. It doesn’t bode well for the future of the republic.

Too understand the thinking of Democrats is to understand why they must be defeated at the polls. This is truly a cultural civil war, they understand it and most Republicans don’t.

The double standard is clearly stated.

“....In other words, if we set this precedent in the interest of demonstrating our party’s solidarity with harassed and abused women, we’re only going to drain the swamp of people who, however flawed, still regularly vote to protect women’s rights and freedoms.......”

LOL! Harding, you’re not a feminist. You’re a fraud and one who promotes perversion.

May I suggest to you that you have fallen deeply into a liberal trap here with that position…. what you are saying is that the only thing that matters is ‘one’s feelings’, not facts. You need to exercise some thinking power with this, not feeling power. Have a read through this article written by a law professor who gave a recent speech to first year students to find out what it means to take a reasoned approach to an issue….http://newbostonpost.com/2017/11/09/undoing-the-dis-education-of-millennials/

You forgot that this rule only applies when Republicans are accused. When a Democrat is accused, any and all defenses are available and must be accepted without any questioning. The number one rule of Washington media is that Democrats are innocent until proven guilty beyond any level of doubt and Republicans are guilty when accused and cannot be proven innocent.

The left has now succeeded in politicizing groping.

If you voted for Trump, no gropes for you!

Keep in mind....when Billybooboo got lewinskied, his own wife....the ambitious feminist Hillary..... put on a full court press defense.

Lewinsky was tarred as a stalker.

Hillary said it never happened....it was the VRWC’s fault.

Her political ambitions came first.....Hillary inveigled her right hand man George Stephanopoulos into the Bimbo Eruption Team.

George has never been confronted to explain his anti-woman actions as a ranking member of Hillary’s Bimbo Eruptions team.

I’m with you Liz.

Not sure where the commenter to whom you respond is coming from but it’s lame, lame, lame.

Franken forced his slimy tongue down her throat and now, for all the world to see, forever and ever, the man has his hands hovering above her private parts AS SHE SLEEPS.

It’s ugly and to defend it in any way is teeny, tiny.

>> Will the Republicans ever figure it out? <<

The GOPe figured it out. That is why they went from the Party of Reagon to the Washington Generals.

I don’t want him to resign, either. And I think he is a scumbag. These revelations provide PLENTY of time for an opponent to him to emerge. And he’ll have one. His obnoxious (and now proven) conduct pre-dated his Senate service. This means that, according to the rules, the Ethics committee has no dog in this fight.

Judge Moore’s conduct (unproven) is while he is simply a candidate. He was chosen by the GOP voters in Alabama; the people who know him best. Let them decide, national GOP. Again, the Ethics committee has no dog in this fight.

There are some dangerous precedents folks are trying to set here, and I’m having none of it.

Mitch thinks it’s okay to tamper/overturn an election, perhaps because the apparatus is controlled by the GOP and he can sway them or bribe with national money. I’ve got a news flash for Mitch:

You try to pull this, buster, and it is simply a matter of time before a Dem senate majority leader, will try to do this to an incoming GOP senator, when the Dems control the “so called” Ethics committee. Don’t doubt me on this: you set the predicate.

Moreover, once we start reaching back in decades of time to use past wrongdoing (proven or unproven) in order to remove a duly elected official or candidate, it’s a slippery slope.

And one that will be attempted on DJT.

Count me out of this circus.

Kate is by definition Ameritrash. Her opinions have no validity in the real world of thoughts and ideas

"Gloria Steinem gave Bill Clinton the “one free grope rule” and more."

In a March 22, 1998 Op/Ed piece in the New York Times, Gloria Steinem effectively gave support to the notion that a man may: (1) uninvited, open-mouth kiss a woman; (2) uninvited, fondle a woman’s breast; and (3) uninvited, take a woman’s hand and place it on the man’s genitals; and as long as the man retreats once the woman says “no” that this does not constitute sexual harassment. This has become known in the popular culture as the “One Free Grope” Theory. The Op/Ed piece was written in an attempt to defend then President Clinton against allegations of sexual impropriety that had been made by White House volunteer Kathleen Willey."

I’m with you Liz.

Wonderful....You too have just identified yourself as one who believes that the only thing that matters is ‘one’s feelings’, not facts. You need to learn how to think.... and not just jump on to some misdirected bandwagon because it looks like it serve some stupid political advantage. Leave that approach to the DemonRats!
