Wow obamanut2012 Tuesday #42

If they're so determined to vote for a rapist, they can write him in Orrex Tuesday #59

No, Platner is making the decision. He's the candidate, and he's taking stock of the situation. He can best weigh WhiskeyGrinder Tuesday #8

His decision is not without pressure... kentuck Tuesday #12

Yes, pressure is an integral part of being a politician and it's important to know how to deal with it. WhiskeyGrinder Tuesday #14

Perhaps when the people voted for him they did not have all the facts Grim Chieftain Tuesday #25

Then, we would assume, they will vote against him in the general? kentuck Tuesday #27

It's not unusual for victims to speak out when they see the perpetrator about to get more influence or power. WhiskeyGrinder Tuesday #33

I am really appalled at teh victim blaming on DU right now obamanut2012 Tuesday #43

Questioning the veracity or timing of an accuser ("victim" to you) in this situation is not "victim blaming." sop Tuesday #52

I would argue the problem is we aren't clear enough abusers have no place in our party EdmondDantes_ Tuesday #29

I do not think anyone is wrong with their opinion on this matter... kentuck Tuesday #30

"The reality of politics is not a black and white world." What do you mean by that? WhiskeyGrinder Tuesday #32

No Democrat should be forced to drop out or resign unless convicted of a felony. dalton99a Tuesday #31

Yeah, the problem are the rape apologists. demmiblue Tuesday #34

Was he convicted of rape? kentuck Tuesday #36

The vast majority of rapists do not have a conviction and in fact are never charged or even reported in the first place. WhiskeyGrinder Tuesday #37

They know this, it's just excuse-making. n/t demmiblue Tuesday #39

And there it is. n/t demmiblue Tuesday #38

The accusations are very credible, esp the newest one, and DU s not a court of law obamanut2012 Tuesday #45

Is this really the message you want to send to victims? You do know children are victims of these types of chowder66 Tuesday #57
