    The DNC types use tax dollars to bribe their victims into silence. As much as 15 million. Total pass from the collective.

    Pretty sure the RNC does the same dirt as well. I don't trust either one.

    :roflol:If exposing the sex bribes hurt Republicans, we'd all know about it and who was involved. The fact that we don't and it's being hidden means most of the people it's protecting are Democrats.

    I still don't get it. Franken what, needs the money? Did he not already free health care for life once he was seated? Why do you suppose he feels so entitled to his seat? How can this guy justify himself on the national stage after he so aggressively went after Moore? Schumer should have already counseled Franken to leave. Schumer should have been working to get this boob out of his chair as soon as the reports started coming in. Hey Ho, Franken has got to go... Hey hey....

    They are not. Most of them have been assimilated into the collective. They are just Democrats that lie, say they are republicans to get elected in red states and control red seats. If this scandal hurt Trump types, we'd know all about it and who was involved.

    It's hard for the democratic party to continue to represent themselves as the party of women when they so actively protect those who abuse them...

    I think he'll stay. Don't expect the party of the "Clinton Pass" to suddenly start holding pervs accountable.

    I certainly expect him to fight to stay. And of course, it's awesome publicity for those who demand the world respect them for their feminism as a party. It's truly fun to watch.

    Good point. It is hard to imagine the NYT covering up the sex crimes of any Republican.

    “But I had the facts, and this was the Times. Right?

    Wrong. The story was stripped of any reference to sexual favors or coercion and buried on the inside of the Culture section, an obscure story about Miramax firing an Italian executive. Who cared?”

    And who would that be? Trump hasn't endorsed moore, he has pointed out that there shouldn't be a democrat from AL. I know, you can't see the difference, but there is one, none the less. So many of the other Republican leadership have actually asked Moore to step away, as I have. Next?

    Great lyrics, Bob Dylan.... I'm guessing he feels entitled to his seat because he was elected there by the people of Minnesota and nothing has happened since then to change that... Strange phenomenon called Democracy....

    And, to try and turn the page to an obviously deaf ear, the RNC should have been working to get THAT boob out of the election as soon as THOSE reports started coming in...

    Franken could choose to resign, but I do not like to see elections nullified by Washington insiders. It is always better to wait and let the voters decide.

    That’s commendable.....party before morality. Those who have asked Moore to step aside are Indeed praiseworthy

    LOL.... The active, purposeful deflection. Amazing to watch. But hey, you can defend the guy all you want. And do. So, your theory is that the democratic process must then always be respected until the democratic process can remediate their failures? So, completely ignore the law, and litigation? Fascinating...

    The charges remain unproved and suspicious. The voters in AL are likely to elect Moore in reaction to what appears to be another "October surprise" contrived to rig an election. That would be a good thing - Jeff Bezos should not be allowed to use his drones to tamper with the Congress.

    Totally agree. WAPO is nothing more than a marketing tool for that tool.... Personally, I don't care, AL will elect whom they want. Likely, there should be a huge write in for someone else. Moore represents that legacy that is the residual democratic conservatives being washed away, finally from the south.

    The fact that Moore is despised by the bipartisan DC ruling political establishment is a compelling reason for AL voters to elect Moore. He would hit the Senate like a wrecking ball - IOW, the perfect candidate. ;-)
