Voters will draw a distinction, and reward Dems for taking moral stance on Franken, abuse

[BannonsLiver]

Nah, I don't believe that shit either.

[Chasstev365]

1. You had me at first!

Spot on!,

[flamingdem]

2. They're idiots if they think this will help us

All it shows is WEAKNESS and we're dealing with bullies.

I hope Schumer and Pelosi stick up for him.

[Bettie]

20. Yep, there's a line of kids

waiting to give up their lunch money figuring that giving in will stop it.

Yeah, not so much.

[smirkymonkey]

32. This!

No wonder we always lose.

[HughBeaumont]

3. PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT.

I'll bet 62 million they don't.

[standingtall]

4. Voters will punish Democrats for this

bank on it. Democrats are about to gift wrap a social wedge issue for repukes to exploit in up coming elections.

[BannonsLiver]

5. Yes, more than likely. It shows great weakness IMO.

[Demsrule86]

6. Nope...we are looking at their playbook for 18 and 20.

[Autumn]

7. This should be on the greatest so I put it there. Best OP on DU.

[niyad]

8. I nearly spit out my coffee

[Yavin4]

9. American voters? Red state voters?

May be some voters some where else in the world, but not here.

[lunamagica]

10. You got ne there for a minute. Biggest joke of the day

I'm sorry I can't laugh

[Turn CO Blue]

11. Ha, got me! Some days I feel like we are fighting on war on a dozen fronts.

[NBachers]

12. You saved me the trouble of a scathing response.

[BannonsLiver]

16. Well there are plenty of other posts advocating Dems lie down like lambs

So a few moralizing folks around here can tick their boxes and feel better about themselves.

[LS_Editor]

13. Agreed. Voters don't give a shit.

[dalton99a]

14. Lesson: If Republicans accuse you of something, it's prima facie evidence that you're guilty

[PubliusEnigma]

15. No, they will say Roy Moore is okay because Democrats are just as bad.

[dalton99a]

24. That's the plan

[tazkcmo]

27. And they'll be wrong

This is nothing new. For the past 40 years the GOPee has flat out lied to the faces of their constituents backed up by right-wing radio and Faux Newz. We need not concern ourselves with the moral judgments coming from the 35% of the population that believes everything goes as long as the Democrat loses. They voted for Trump and always will support him no matter what. The other 65% of our country is smart enough to recognize it's not a black-and-white issue, the cases are different, Republicans have a track record of the deceit and lies and aren't falling for their b*******.

[ffr]

17. Ain't that the truth!

[WoonTars]

18. You got me too!!!

[beaglelover]

19. Yeah, right! LOL!!!

[mountain grammy]

21. I'm furious that Al Franken would resign..

I'm furious at Democrats who are demanding that he does. They are wrong and out of touch.

[workinclasszero]

22. I was like "sure they will!" :sarcasm:

They go lower than whale shit and win...we go high and lose, lose, lose!

[NRaleighLiberal]

23. If we've not learned the folly of this by now, there is no hope.

[dalton99a]

25. +1

[ananda]

26. OK, if that were the case ..

.. every Dem would be going after 45 and all
Moore supporters nonstop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Docreed2003]

28. A big beautiful moral victory...SMDH.

Dems always seem to find their spines when it comes to circular firing squads on their own, but to take a stand DEMANDING action against Republican hypocrisy, well a couple of news cycles and we know how that ends. But we got that moral victory!

[orangecrush]

29. allow me to join you...

[Ferrets are Cool]

30. Great post

[ancianita]

31. Democratic women of the Senate are catching constituent hell for this announcement.

[Amaryllis]

38. How do you know that? I would love for that to be true. Source?

[ancianita]

39. My reading social media all day. Something Awful, Facebook.

[Cosmocat]

33. BULL$ ... OH, you're right

[vkkv]

34. CALL! CALL! CALL! CALL!

[COLGATE4]

35. Yeah, they'll reward us by

electing the craziest, slimiest, crookedest Repub dirtbag they can.

[lark]

36. Oh, you got me.

I was about to fire off and ask you what in the world was wrong with you and instead I got a laugh.

Dems are total idiots if they remove Franken while drumpf is still in the WH. I'm already trying to convince my husband that we need to move out of the USA and get away from the looming tsunami of destruction.

[liberalmuse]

37. I work with the public.

A lot of people are willfully stupid, and these stupid people tend to vote Republican. You can’t be perceived as taking the moral high ground by people who are woefully deficient in morality or ethics. Who are we impressing here? Other Dems. By all means, let’s continue to shoot ourselves in the foot so we can be smugly satisfied for being better than people who revel in being utterly horrible.

Thanks for this post, OP.

[BannonsLiver]

41. Well said. Thank you.

[RandomAccess]

40. Right. They're more likely to

climb all over them for not defending their own. Or at LEAST waiting for a proper investigation. Sheesh.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. I'm In!

We keep taking a pillow to a sword fight!
I'm sick of it!!!!
