Since they get a smaller portion of the female vote, they don't have to drop out if they have a history of abusing women (or even girls).

Why do you need to rely on Moore to justify Franken? Do you think Franken should resign based on the women who have come forward so far? Will you change your mind if Roy Moore is elected?

"Let's argue this in court?". Do you have any standing in Alabama courts to argue anything more than a traffic ticket? Perhaps you have already looked it up so do you know what is the statute of limitations in Alabama for the crimes Roy Moore is alleged to have committed? Let's have an adult discussion instead of your usual hate-filled rants.

Al Franken announces resignation
Posted by Olog-hai* on Thu Dec 7 12:14:05 2017, in response to Six female Democratic senators call for Al Franken to resign, posted by Dave on Wed Dec 6 12:23:39 2017.* Cable News Network Al Franken resigning 'in the coming weeks' By Jake Tapper, Eli Watkins and MJ Lee, CNN Updated 12:04 PM ET, Thu December 7, 2017 Democratic Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota is resigning following allegations that he touched women inappropriately, he announced on the Senate floor Thursday. "I am announcing that in the coming weeks I will be resigning as a member of the United States Senate," Franken said in an emotional address in which he said some of the allegations against him weren't true. The push for Franken's resignation started after a woman came forward last month to say he had badgered her into an unwanted kiss before he was a senator and groped her while she slept. That allegation set forth weeks of open deliberation about the political future of the unlikely comedian turned progressive darling. Last month, Leeann Tweeden, a morning news anchor on the AM radio station KABC in Los Angeles, posted her story on the station's website, saying Franken forcibly kissed her and groped her in 2006 during a USO tour. Franken apologized following her account's publishing. "The first thing I want to do is apologize: to Leeann, to everyone else who was part of that tour, to everyone who has worked for me, to everyone I represent, and to everyone who counts on me to be an ally and supporter and champion of women. There's more I want to say, but the first and most important thing—and if it's the only thing you care to hear, that's fine — is: I'm sorry," Franken said in the email statement. As condemnation increased in the wake of the story, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, called for a Senate Ethics Committee probe into Franken, and Franken said repeatedly he would cooperate with that investigation. But in the coming days and weeks, more accusers have come forward. A woman came forward to CNN to say Franken, as a senator, grabbed her buttocks while taking a photo at the Minnesota State Fair in 2010. The Huffington Post reported two more women accused Franken of inappropriately touching them in 2007 and 2008. Franken went on to speak with media outlets in his home state of Minnesota, saying he was "embarrassed and ashamed," but hoped to regain the trust of those he let down. An Army veteran told CNN later that Franken groped her on a USO tour as well before he was a senator. The woman, Stephanie Kemplin, said Franken cupped her breast while she was deployed in the Middle East during the Iraq War. After Kemplin came forward, a spokesman for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said the Democratic leader would not comment on the allegation against one of his fellow Democrats. Then on Wednesday, Politico reported a former Democratic congressional aide said Franken tried to kiss her forcibly in 2006. CNN has not yet verified the claims in the Politico story, but Franken flatly denied the allegations int he report. Shortly after, New York Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand called for Franken to resign, and other Democratic senators posted statements in swift succession. In the span of a few hours Wednesday afternoon, dozens of senators said Franken should go — including Schumer. 'Saturday Night' to Capitol Hill Franken made his start as a comedy writer in New York, contributing to NBC's "Saturday Night Live" as a writer from its opening years in the 1970s to the 1990s. He made his way occasionally from the writers' room to the stage, gaining national exposure. As the years went on, Franken shifted from politically charged comedy and satire to politics outright, becoming a liberal voice on radio and releasing books attacking Republicans and right-wing media. In some of his books, Franken proposed — somewhat tongue in cheek — that he would have a political life, maybe as a senator or even president. In the 2008 election, Franken turned the idea into a reality and challenged Minnesota Republican Sen. Norm Coleman. The 2008 elections saw Democrats around the nation ascendant, and as Barack Obama won the presidential election, Franken and Coleman were neck-and-neck. After a recount, Franken was ahead, and after ensuing legal challenges from Coleman, Franken emerged victorious and joined the Senate, giving the Democratic caucus a brief supermajority. Franken hewed liberal on most issues and was a reliable Obama supporter through the years. He has been an outspoken critic of President Donald Trump, and he drew plaudits from many in his party for his sharp questioning of Attorney General Jeff Sessions during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings. In the wake of Trump's stunning 2016 victory and the general disrepair of the Democratic Party, Franken's name even made its way to some discussions about potential 2020 candidates to challenge Trump for the presidency.

John Conyers - charges surfaced after election Al Franken - charges surfaced after election Roy Moore - facing election following the revelation of accusations. Donald Trump - Elected AFTER ALLEGATIONS were made. The electorate will have a choice knowing the allegations against Moore. The voters elected Donald Trump despite the allegations. There lies your difference.
