8. You can bet republicans are getting away with paying off their accusers. RWNJ

women that were harassed would be much more inclined to take money to keep quiet rather than take down Congressmen on their side. As with everything else, they won't give a shit about other victims as long as they get their payoff.

3. The problem is that we might have inadvertently set a standard

that will mean Democrats who have had anonymous claims of trivial actions may now be replaced by people named by Republican Governors.

Just because Franken's replacement will be named by a Democratic governor doesn't mean they all will be.

4. If 95% of them are republicans,

they will just yawn and point at the 5% democrats that may have stared too long at an intern.

5. Its a new bar and one Im not upset to see.

It’s going to greatly increase the number of accusers.

It’s about time the guys who briefly grab women’s breasts and excuses it by saying they were laughing and having a good time get called to account. It’s one of the most common forms of sexual assault and more often than not women are EXPECTED to tolerate it.

I’m simply not disappointed to see it happening.

7. Please oh please let there be a bunch of family values GOP with live boys

not that I want to wish sexual abuse on LGBT...but thats what it might take to get them to resign.

9. If they are Republicans

It won't matter. Nothing will come of it.

10. It doesn't matter

if they are from the Grand Old Groper party. Grand Old Gropers get away with everything! They are not held to the same standard.

Jan 24, 2016 - "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose voters," Trump said. And it's true. He could probably rape somebody on 5th Avenue and not lose votes.

It makes me sick to my stomach. I'm so ashamed of our country right now.
