    Then you didn't listen to her. I caught the last half of McIntyre's original broadcast on radio this morning, and listened again when the entire segment was rebroadcast at 9am PST.

    Are you inventing that you heard it from her own lips now?

    Franken only expects a reprimand, like a spoiled momma's boy getting a short time-out.

    He was caught "boob-handed" on film. Any Democrat that has complained about Moore, must demand that Franken be booted from the Senate. Otherwise, we should laugh in their faces.

    Funny how a Mob mentality works in regards to Dimocrats.
    Dems adore it when playing God,Judge and Jury.
    But when the tables are turned,they instantly go into
    spin mode and political expediency. Circling their wagons and
    acting { Insisting } much ado about nothing.
    Which also explains very clearly why the Democrat Party,
    seldom has any Solutions to many of this country's urgent
    needs.They are,as a group,too focused on how to play the
    blame game.There just isn't enough time in the day to
    both go after their Oppostion and also actually fix what
    needs fixing { Like a stagnant Economy,More and better jobs and
    a vibrant Middle Class }.The dems opposition wants and strives for a
    vikb rant Middle Class.The Dems want the Poor and the Middle class
    to be totally beholdin' to them.As if Drug Lords.

    Clearly it's molestation.

    You should take a class on sexual harassment if you don't any better.

    6. Prove otherwise. Until you can prove his innocence, he is guilty of molesting children. I'm just applying the "progressive" rule of law. How do you like it?

    What does " if you don't any better " mean.?
    I mean,unless one is practicing to be some axe-wielding
    murderer like Lizzie Borden.But then Lizzie Borden would make
    Paul Bunyon look like a Beauty pageant contestant.Face-wise.

    Which seems to be the Liberals Kool-aid test.
    Which they roundly and quickly adjust in the event they get stuck
    in their own hypocrisy.

    Guess that means you cannot answer the question; typical conservative response; deflect and hide.

    Absolutely; Franken needs to resign and Moore needs to drop out of the race now.

    Moore is in denial and I suspect he won't drop out under any circumstances; it's his character makeup. If the people of Alabama want to elect a child molester so be it.

    How great is it that just yesterday Franken was grilling a guy about his behavior. That smug lefty is going down in disgrace. Melanie Morgan is now claiming she had to threaten to call police to get franken to stop harrassing her. Hes done.

    Just giving you your own medicine. You assume people are guilty based on an accusation, no facts required. You want Roy Moore to drop out of the senate race based on nothing.

    Don't be a hypocrite. There is photo evidence of Franken abusing a woman. He is guilty. You must demand he resign from Congress or you are a total hypocrite.

    Probably makes no difference now whether or not he drops out of the race; his democratic challenger is ahead by 6 points. Maybe the people of Alabama are finally seeing the light. That being said, if you'd spend sometime reading the posts in here, you'd have seen where I've called for Franken to resign.

    The question is...why didnt Elizabeth Warren demand his resignation. Does she really think her fake outrage without a demand for resignation is going to work? The dem plan is to investigate this for 12 months and wait for it to blow over. Just shows you how full of it these dems are. Sorry but dems better get their asses in gear and demand he step down or we will never let the dems talk about sexual offenses ever again. They will be proven to be using one standard for them and one for everyone else.

    Since I don't have any direct contact with Senator Warren I cannot answer that question. Even if your opinion that the dems are going to investigate and wait for it to blow over occurs, how are you going to stop the dems from talking about sexual offenses. Remember we still have the 1st amendment in this country and I think you'd be hard pressed to censor free speech. In the mean time like I said, Probably makes no difference now whether or not Moore drops out of the race; his democratic challenger is ahead by 6 points. They most likely are getting fed up with all of the conservative hysterics being projected at them.

    oh they can talk but it will be weightless, meaningless, containing no gravitas at all. Is that what you want?

    After the person the GOP elected as President... I'm more apt to think your comment applies most readily to Republicans.

    Maybe true. And certainly we don't see any swamps being drained.

    Franken admitted kissing this woman. He has contritely apologized and spoke highly of his accuser. As far as we know this was the only incident of it's kind involving Franken. Should more show up his resignation will be demanded

    Moore has not admitted nor apologized. He has not only N OT spoken well of his accuser...he has attacked her. And SHE was 24 years old at the time. Not only that but Moore was BANNED from a mall because of his continual stalking of young girls

    Republicans (including the Alabama Governor) have said they don't care if the accusations are true. They will support Moore because they want a Republican in that seat.

    I doubt you see the difference but there are many and they are HUGE
