Franken Must Resign

[protectionist]

It looks like there has been Democrat $dirty tricks$ going on with the "accusers" .
That has tainted the whole situation.

Let's hear more about that. Got any links ?

 

[mudwhistle]

that would be up to him and his constituents.

Isn't it always???

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

Dems won’t let go of a Senate seat. They are rallying behind Frankengroper.

The governor is a Dem, he'd replace him with another Dem.
Of course that appointment would only last until Nov 2018 elections.

 

[Pogo]

Franken must resign. Conyers resigning. San Diego Mayor Bob Filner resigned. Representative Tim Murphy resigned. Nevada Representative Ruben Kihuen was ordered to resign by House Representative Nancy Pelosi, the Democratic leader. Lauer is out. Rose got the boot.

Not fair to them if Franken stays.

Don't know half those people but why don't you catch us up on how they're all similar.

Moreover how the friggety **** are TV talking heads related here? Is a TV interviewer a "mayor"?

Btw Nancy Pelosi doesn't have the jurisdiction to "order" anybody to resign. At most she might get her party to disassociate but Reps and Senators work for constituents, not a political party.. And mayors work for the citizens of their city, not a political party. Nobody works for a political party by virtue of getting elected to office.

Back in 1954 the state Democratic Party kicked Strom Thurmond off the ballot when he wanted a Senate run, which they could do. But they couldn't stop the state from electing him as a write-in. Because the state hires its Senator --- not a political party.

So in Franken's case, to return to your title, that entity would be the voters of the state of Minnesota.

Roy Moore's lawyer casts doubt on accuser

 

[Pogo]

Why must he do that before the Ethics Committee investigation, which has already begun, is finished? That's like sending someone to prison before the trial is over.
The people who resigned did so "voluntarily." Franken has the right to hang in there, as has Moore. Lauer and Rose were booted by private companies, which is a different ball of wax.

Investigations are things are are done to find out what is not known. Franken's misdeeds (crimes) are AlREADY known.

Having an investigation over what is already confessed to (with photographic evidence to boot) is a FARCE, and is obviously being pursued only to keep Franken's Senate seat Democrat. Shameful. Around the world, they must be shaking their heads. Disgrace to America.

And no, the politicians did NOT all resign voluntarily. Murphy was prodded by Paul Ryan, with Kihuen, Pelosi demanded his resignation, and some others paid out hush money (ex. Blake Farenthold - R-TX)

"Photographic evidence" of a joke in bad taste, during a time he was a comedian before being in the Senate?

That's the bar you want to hang your hat on is it?

`
To be fair then, Roy Moore must first resign from politics.

That's not fair though because Franken and others were sitting senators. Moore is not.

Franken was a sitting comedian, Pinky. He hadn't run for Senate yet.

As opposed to some guy mouthing off about his "success" with women on an audio tape long before any serious consideration of seeking public office?

"Opposed"? Not really opposed, no. Actually they look somewhat similar.

What's your point?

 

[LoneLaugher]

Check out these nutbags giving Franken the benefit of the doubt. That is solely because they want to support a child molester.

They don't "look" similar at all. One is a picture and absolutely and actually happened. I don't recall you defending Trump's comments

Did Franken molest children too?

Really? I think we have proof of Franken's sexual harassment. Moore? None.

Better yet, Franken HIMSELF >> AKA >> resign

No. His confessions are.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

FALSE! Roy Moore is an entirely different category. No one knows if Moore did anything wrong. He has denied accusations, and his accusers are less then credible. Franken, on the other hand has admitted his guilt, and photographs confirm.

`
I'm sorry you feel that way and have to defend pedophiles. Moore is unfit as a human, to sit in any capacity of representative government.

Again, where is your evidence that he is a pedophile?

There simply isn't any!

It's all accusations.

 

[RealDave]

Franken should resign. He can wait for the report, but he should resign.

All those in Congress or the administration who did similar things should resign.

All those who did this stuff at work should be fired.

Only then will people learn that it is nit acceptable. Anytime, anywhere.

Hard to argue with this. Franken's so-called apology is a joke. A self-serving act designed for the benefit of the apologizer. Franken doesn't seem to care about anything here, other then himself. He;s not even worried about his image or self-respect.

 

[DarkFury]

that would be up to him and his constituents.

Shouldn't be up to him or them.. He should get the boot, same as Lauer, Rose, Kihuen, etc.

Since when is punishment up to the perpetrator ?

If there was a single shred of decency in the DNC they would boot him out of the party!
