In reply to the discussion: My thoughts on Al Franken [View all]Iliyah
(25,111 posts)32. And guess what, GOPers in the Senate plan on voting on the tax scam
so they claim very soon because apparently GOP house and senate are sneaking agreements through quickly.
As a side note, Mr. Franken will be a force in private life, and I will expect him to be a champion of human rights, et al. He will work like he did in congress for the betterment of American lives.
Senator Franken and the Dem Senators have been in discussions for a while. I'm pretty sure there is total mutual respect for him as well as for the Dem Senators. We are far from perfect as a party.
That said, I'm one who believe he was targeted by the ugly moral corrupt Republican party. I know Senator Franken will be exonerated.
