A true American in courage, comedian and Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) resigns, in face of allegations

Menendez got lucky with the mistrial wrote:

If the people of Alabama vote in Moore, it is a clear indication that the allegations of sexual misconduct

are not true.

Seriously?!? GOP has become the Grand Old Pedophiles.

Just like Slick Willy who flew the Lolita Express. Dems are no better.

This was the guy who won in the 2008 (re-)recount, and provided the 60th Obamacare vote.

It seems like I hear that every Democrat provided the 60th vote...

And why is the 60th vote any more important than the first vote? It is like saying the last TD in the game is more important than the first TD when it comes to winning (not necessarily for those betting in which case it can make a difference).

Al Franken resigned because the allegations are true.

Roy Moore is staying in the race because the allegations are false.

Franken is a quitter. Moore is a fighter. American people want the fighters to lead their country.

Ha! Thanks for the laugh.

Donald Trump, Roy Moore (if you throw pedophilia into the mix)

Roy Moore was a democrat during the time at which his misconduct was alleged. No credible accusations have arisen against Trump.

Moore might well have been a Democrat considering the time. Some younger and less knowledgeable folks might not realize that the South was once a Democratic strong hold mainly because the GOP was seen as the party of Lincoln--the man who freed the slaves and the Democrats largely allowed slavery and had folks like Woodrow Wilson who re-instituted segregation into the government (it had been loosened considerably under Republican presidents).

I would say give the benefit of the doubt to the women accusing Trump. It does not help Trumps case that he is on tape bragging about groping women.

Back to Moore for a moment: he is a guy who has a strong connection to trial lawyers which is not a good thing either. The trial lawyers have backed his campaigns before. Trial lawyers love judges and elected officials who will create work for them.

Pope, Donald, Roy

The dems still cover up for Menendez. The NJ Senator who flew for free on private jets to the Dominican Republic and used underage call girls. Not a peep for him to step down.

Ever heard of Donald Trump?

More interesting is that the accusers of democrats are nearly all republicans.

Its the other way around. In Moores case you have 5 out of 5 accusers who have worked on the campaign staff of Democrats. What are the chances? Also, you have liberal mudraker Gloria Allred representing one with a forged yearbook signing from Moore. 1) She wouldn't answer a direct question about the forgery. 2) She won't submit the yearbook for handwriting analysis and ink forensics.

Then there are actual facts... wrote:

Other than Leeann Tweeden, who published the now-infamous photograph of Franken groping her breasts while she slept, almost all of his other accusers are fellow-leftists who met Franken at various political events, including a Media Matters party celebrating former-President Obama’s 2009 inauguration and, of all places, the Minnesota Women’s Political Caucus.

Incorrect. Tweeden is a diehard conservative and republican. She has been on Fox news many times.

"Tweeden has described herself as “fiscally conservative,” told one interviewer she voted twice for President George W. Bush and appeared semi-regularly on Fox News’s Sean Hannity Show in 2011 and 2012."

Trump is a wide open target, having been in the news for over 40 yerars. Not even once have anyone come forward. A flamboyant billionaire, he would have been an easy target from aggressive lawyers. It was only when he ran for president did the cockroaches come out from the crevices. All of them have connection to the Democratic Industrial Complex.

Gloria Allred is a libtarrrrd, attention seeking media whore.

Al Frankenstein is a total loser. He is part of the fake news crowd who has been very mean to me. I am going to appoint former Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura to take over his seat asap.

When Roy Moore wins, I am going to personally rescind the bans against him attending the mall, YMCA and other locations. Executive orders.

False. Or to use your position: Fake News.

How many Miss Universe contestants have come out and accused Trump of sexual harassment? What if Franken owned that franchise instead- I bet hundreds would have accused him.

Amazing to me people actually think Moore or Trump are innocent in terms of sexual misconduct. Trump's on video saying what over 10 women accused him of. Moore changes his story based upon the time of day, while artifacts showing him courting teenagers pile up. Takes a pretty damn conspiratorial, paranoid world view to believe it's all fake, but I guess ideology does a number on people's reason.

Good riddance to Franken and Conyers, in any event.

Well, it seems that the accusers number at least eight, and at least some are Republicans.

But this whole discussion, which ultimately seems to boil down to he said/she said (okay, he said/THEY said--a LOT of them), illustrates why the topic simply is not very accessible in assessing Moore's suitability as a Senator.

Instead, let's focus on what is NOT in dispute: Roy Moore was removed from his judgeship, twice, because he refused to follow the Constitution and the rule of law.

And THAT is why he should not be elected Senator.

But Moore is a new and changed man now that he is a republican.

Congrats for winning the stupidest post of the day.

QFT.

Franken says his accusers are lying and a fair investigation would exonerate him...and in the next breath says he quits. What a chump!

This doesn't make the Democratic Party any stronger. If anything, it shows (for the millionth time) that they're not really serious about winning.
