thoughts on Franken

[Carl in Michigan]

He should resign if for no other reason than to once again show Americans the difference between liberals and conservatives.

Yes! All liberals should resign to prove that point!

Been watching this scandal Franken is in closely. He is, unfortunately, my Senator. When I moved to MN one of the first things I did was register to vote specifically to vote against his reelection. I find him to be a disgusting vile man.

So when the scandal broke i wasn't surprised. It's not like we were ignorant of what kind of man he was before he was elected.

What did surprise me was how fast he apologized. I've been wrestling with whether to support calling for him to resign. That surprises me too. When he apologized I was immediately impressed with the conversation Jesus had with Peter. "How oft should I forgive? Seventy times seven."

Forgiveness is an act of healing. It became clear that the Lord wanted me to forgive him. But I wrestled with what that means. Does that mean I shouldn't call for him to resign? I mean what he did was still horrendous.

Last night I happened to randomly be reading Luke 6. Jesus was exhorting his disciples to love their enemies. A point that struck me was when He mentions that the Father loves even the ungrateful and evil.

I also thought how our nation needs healing. I think we should forgive him. I think we should let him face whatever the Senate ethics panel deems appropriate.

Now I'm sure there will be many who say he will get away with this. Yeah, perhaps. But the world knows now. He can't hide that. I plan on voting against him next time still. Heck, I may run against him if I absolutely have to.

But i think right now, we need to heal. We need to be a people who will take the better path. We need to be filled with the same love God has and that means doing what He would do in this situation. If we can be a people who can love and forgive Franken, I have hope for this nation no matter who is in office.

Great, we can forgive Franken as soon as he resigns.

Somebody rapes your wife or daughter.

Once CAUGHT, he apologizes.

You say, "I forgive you."

Should he not go to prison because he "apologized" (ONLY AFTER CAUGHT)?

You "forgave" him. Are you naive enough to leave your wife or daughter alone with him?

the leftists are ok with that as long as it is leftist making the apology

had he been from the right

not only is he never forgiven the whole party and anyone on the right is as well guilty

go figure

 

[Desperado]

He should retire just for this pic alone- Can't believe that people were stupid enough to elect him

Fallacy of false equivalency.

There is a difference between rape and touching. Grow up.

Well, they actually elected Norm Coleman, but as a wimpy rino Republican, he gave up and let Franken steal the seat.

 

[Bush92]

Meh, beside the religious angle let' look at what he did. A big nothing.

Franken fell on the sword too hard and shouldn' apologized and kept it moving. Looking for a fair investigation from Republicans is like jumping in the lion cage and hoping the tiger is friendly.

Franken is a piece of shit.

 

[Bush92]

Al Franken supports Somali and Ethiopian terrorists.

 

[Chuz Life]

Franken ran his big fat hypocrite mouth about other men sexually harassing women, now his chickens have come home to roost.

Nailed it.

Franken found himself a big fat dose of Karma!

Really? Groping a sleeping woman when you know she isn't into you is a big nothing?

And what is there to investigate? She told her side. Showed the picture of him groping her. He admits it and has apologized. It's open and shut

Yeah taking a funny picture is groping. In fact he was looking right at the camera as a show that it was attempted rape! Not.

Yes it is open and shut he took a silly picture and she got more kiss than she expected. Big whoop.

So grabbing a woman's chest is alright if you do it as a joke?

Btw aren't jokes supposed to be funny?

Oh because you don't find it funny him looking right at the Camera means it was attempted rape. Riiight.

I' not trying to convince you of anything I just want people to stop overstating shit like bitches. Pretending to honk a chicks tits have always been funny. Idgaf if you're trying to make this some PC quest or not.

Did anyone claim he raped her??

 

[Bush92]

Hebrew it big time.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

This EXCUSE is NOT an apology:

I don't remember doing anything wrong but, hey, if I did, I'm a comedian. It might have have been a bad joke -- but it was a joke

All the more reason to forgive him. He isn't worth hating

Yup, guessing Franken isn't laughing.

Forgiveness is not consequence free.

He also seems to be apologizing for getting caught. The apology had limits, ie. I did not remember parts of it like she did. Obviously Franken feels he is in trouble.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

You mean EXCUSE him and not hold him ACCOUNTABLE.

Who said anything "hate." Why so eager to keep him in the Senate? You could do better -- or can't you?
