21. Sickening.

Dec 2017

I am just sick about this. There is not one person other than Al Franken, who recently has been accused of sexual misbehavior, that I would defend. Not Charlie Rose, not Harvey Weinstein, Not Anthony Weiner, Not John Conyers, and especially not Roy Moore or Donald Trump. There is a BIG difference between driving a 14 yr old girl behind the dumpster of a restaurant and pushing her head down between your crotch, or grabbing women by the p--sy, and being a bit overzealous with a kiss. Al Franken is NOT a predator! More than I can say about that a-hole sitting in the White House or that pedophile running for Senator is Alabama. Makes me want to give up on the Democratic Party altogether. If they are hell bent on sabotaging the party, why in the hell should I continue to support them? Tell me...

And by the way, this is one reason that I do not support "Emily's List". Just because you are a woman, and I am talking to you, Senators Gillibrand and Harris, doesn't mean you always are doing the right thing and are worthy of my support!
