In reply to the discussion: When you are silencing MY voice, I have a right to know your name (thoughts on Franken) [View all]Behind the Aegis
(53,950 posts)29. Thank you!!
The disgusting behavior, without question, is that of the democratic senators demanding he resign. NO! That is why there is an ethics committee! Democrats need to stand for JUSTICE and TRUTH, not SPECULATION and INNUENDO! Let the Ethics committee meet and adjudicate the situation, then if found in violation, they should call for Franken's resignation. These calls for him to leave the senate simply demonstrate the weakness of the Democratic party. People have to be asking themselves; "If they can't stand up for one of their own, how can they stand for us? If they only demand blood from their own, but not of those in the opposing party who have done the same, or, in many cases, WORSE, how can we believe they will fight for us!"
An investigation MUST take place! If he is guilty, then he MUST resign. If he is not, and this is, as I and many suspect, a set-up, then JUSTICE must still be done!

I know these aren't litigations, but what happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?

It was obvious from the git-go that Tweeden was lying, and continues to lie . . .

Anonymous allegations are on their face NOT credible, to me. And not this "He tried to kiss me."
