If Al Franken resigns.......I, well, i dont know what im going to do

quit the party, quit donating to the party. Oh damn it, I don’t know what i’m going to do. I’m so pissed off right now..... I really wondered how many false claims it would take, I guess 7 was the lucky number.

I encouraged the OP to do three things, one of which was build a better party. The OP seems to have issues with the party and/or its candidates.

And this is not to condone Franken or Conyers. But we seem (as always) to be operating two different systems and standards here.

There is certainly a message to this madness, that's for sure.

I have missed him for years!

Or - he has the right to tell us all to kiss his ass and enjoy his retirement!

Either way - politics has become such a joke and is so full of people with not one scant iota of integrity, he would be doing himself a service in restoring his good name!!!

I hope it will be LtGov Tina Smith of the Farm/Labor Party. Wouldn't that be cool to have someone in the senate who belongs to a party other than the Dem Repub Party
