We are seeing the death of common sense and intelligent reasoning.

38. I agree with you totally, BUT

did you notice the lesson from the replies?

If we make this about "due process" . . . we lose when it comes to saying Moore should be disqualified from public office, but Al should not. Roy Moore has accusers, Franken has accusers, neither has had their day before any "trier of fact."

If, however, we step back and say:

"We are not going to end Al Franken's political career because he touched women over whom he held no position of power on the posterior in public settings because that isn't sexual harassment AND we are not going to pander to the small percentage of people who think it is grounds for just because the same so-called "political experts" who've utterly failed to "attract women voters" for the last quarter-century beginning in 1992 are telling us that we have to attract women voters to win and this move, unlike all their others, will work.

BUT

We sure as hell are going to end Roy Moore's political career for making a 14 year-old child take off her clothes and touch his penis because that is fucking disgusting."

we WIN when it comes to saying Moore should be disqualified from public office, but Al should not AND we don't look ridiculous in front of the overwhelming majority of Americans.
