You're 100% right. I'm worried that this issue really doesn't have any political boundaries and that's super scary. I've been thinking about this for days.

I mean, it's just as hypocritical when a gallant feminist male politician behaves this way, as it is when a "family values," religious right politician behaves this way. If it's just one single incident in a long good life, I can excuse it, (we all screw up really badly sometimes.) But when 4 women come forward with accusations, then it feels as if there must be a dozen more who don't want the hassle of speaking up.

I love Franken and I feel more hurt by his behavior than Roy Moore could ever make me feel. Moore is an idiot, a homophobic, misogynistic bastard. I expected nothing more from him. I did expect a lot more from Franken. It would be less hurtful to find out Franken did coke on the weekends, or had a long term affair with someone.

I've been groped by good, liberal, feminist guys in the past. I have to say, as great as their politics were, I wouldn't want any of them representing me in congress.
