The Democrats threw Franken under the bus in order to have a clean shot at Moore. That picture of Franken pretending to grab boob was no more than a comedic stunt, but it would have been plastered all over Alabama by the Moore camp had Franken been allowed to stay, and it would have been effective.
Of all these cases coming to light recently, none are quite as egregious as the case of President Trump who has been credibly accused of assaulting women in exactly the same manner as he bragged that he did.
I have to admit I think it's all a crock of dung. I'm no fan of Franken but if he's not guilty he should stay. Next thing you know some wimp will be calling for this guy to be charged with sexual assault for grabbing an unknown female and kissing her.
Maybe because Al Franken didn't really resign??!
I'll believe he's gone when he walk out of the Senate building for the last time. If Moore wins you can bet even if McConnell investigates him then Senator Smalley will throw one of his patented hissy fits and take back his resignation.
The senior Senator from Alabama, Richard Shelby, said he DID NOT vote for Moore. He stated that the republican party can do better.
Ok, now I'll wait for the RW'ers to say he's a RINO.
Who cares, Kav? It's Alabama. I live in New York and have no say in it. You live in Minnesota and have no say in it, though you will get to vote in the special election, right?
I don't live in Minnesota, I live in Missouri, Spike.
I find it interesting that the senior Senator from Alabama, a republican, didn't vote for a fellow republican. Sorry that you don't see the irony in this.
I lived in Minnesota for 25 years, does that count?
It counts as having lived there, but not that you are a resident of the state now. I also lived there for 18 years, but I'm not a resident there currently.
Hello fellow Minnesotan!
Boozhoo CCM
Knew it was one of those M states. My ex lives there-steer clear, she's nothing but trouble.
He'd kinda have to be the senior senator, don't you think, as he's one and the other seat is up for grabs? And in this day and age, not voting the party line? I htink that's the wave of the future.
Actually no, Shelby was the senior senator before this special election. Sessions was the previous senator and Shelby was senior to him by a number of years.
It would be good if we as a country voted for the best candidate no matter the party.
LOL, I'll be sure to avoid her.
Oh no, don't start a war here on NT...LOL
About to filet o' Fish with a comment like that.
