Going after Franken on flimsy evidence and anonymous accusations makes the Democrats look weak. When you won't protect your own and demand due process while the other gets away with murder you will never ever win. We are in an era when moral high ground means nothing when you see Moore even running.
If as a veteran in Vietnam I followed the mantra of "not being like them" I would not shoot back at the enemy because I would be like them. You can see how stupid that idea is if applied to its logical conclusion in its pure form.

And he has already apologized. Can't say that for any rethug. They go after the victims.
Franken has no reason to resign. Fuck those who call for his resignation!

(99,710 posts)Well, if Democrats are committed to that alone it would be reason enough to vote for them over those who aren't.

(50,957 posts)like the "destroying our own" aspect of those going after Franken, I suggest you don't engage in your own "destroying our own" behavior.
I want Franken to stay. If Franken goes, I will STILL vote for EVERY Democrat I can, and will STILL never vote for a republican as long as I live.
