BTW he is not in congress he is in the Senate and on two committees of importance within the Senate and everyone on those committees say he has worked really hard since he has been there...
But I personally have no idea why they are asking him to resign for forcing kisses on to adult women..... I can not tell you how many men have tried to kiss me, that should not have even thought for a nano second of trying to.....
but I certainly would never in a million years have thought of asking for the resignation of that person....AS LONG AS they did not try to do such again and they were clear on where I stood.
Though let me say, I haven't had a chance to read about all of the different women's complaints so I retract him not resigning until I get a chance to read them....
I am well aware of that Misterbeale
but taking a picture with a woman who asked for one with her husband taking the picture and him grabbing her butt right when the flash was going off seemed to be a part of his comedy act...? Am I wrong? I still think it was way wrong of him....but I don't see the sexual harassment of an employee by someone in power kind of thing that others are resigning for?
Not in one instance yet has there been a woman that worked under him where he could affect their career unless they slept with him or put up with some kind of continual abuse???
Yes, us women should not have to worry about these kind of things happening to us....but some comedian simply trying to cop a kiss? A kiss with no sexual expectation at all, nor in a setting where anything sexual could have possibly happen?
In yesteryear, at least in the movies, an unwanted kiss or pinch on the butt was handled by the woman..... by her slapping the face of the man.....?
I am glad things are changing and men are now thinking twice about plopping a kiss on a coworker or subordinate...but there is a difference in my humble opinion between a Harvy Weinstein, who used his money and power to mend or end careers if sexual relations/intercourse with him did not happen....
or a Bill Cosby who did the same with women only he also drugged them for the sex....
I don't think all of these cases should be lumped together as some one size fits all...cuz in my opinion, it is not a one size fits all, each person is an individual case and should be treated as such...
God gave us "reason" and logic for a ''reason'', and also demanded in the Bible that we treat EACH CRIME for what the crime entailed and how bad it is....or the evil intent of it.....
An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.... etc.
I'm sorry. . . it's just too difficult to read your stuff when you come across as not knowing basic things educated folks know.
In fact, I did not read much past the first paragraph as it appears you do not have much of an education past the sixth grade.
Here, let me educate you with some sixth grade resources.
Al Franken IS indeed part of congress. You see, congress is composed of TWO parts, the House, and the Senate.
This is pretty basic stuff for someone posting on a political forum. Go back to grade school.
"The Congress of the United States, the nation's lawmaking body, is made up of two houses, the House of Representatives and the Senate."
