Is Franken being charged with a crime?? [View all]
I'm having a difficult time buying into these accusations as being a reason for his resignation unless he is charged with a crime and even then it should be up to the voters as long as he is eligible to run.
If not, where do we draw the line with moral behavior as being our litmus test for who our leaders are or not? Should we let someone who has lied to a spouse be a senator? How about someone who cheated on a test in high school? What about someone who travels too much for their job and never sees their kids? Or someone who takes the bus to work rather than drives their own car??
We are getting dangerously close here to setting a precedent that nobody can uphold, rather than letting democracy work the way it was intended. The saddest part of all is that the rules only seem to apply to Democrats and not Repubes so they are eventually going to wipe us all out.
