No party is immune from evil; no tribe has a monopoly of good. If these bipartisan sex-abuse revelations can begin to undermine the tribalism that so poisons our public life, to reveal that beneath the tribes, we are all flawed and human, they may not only be a long-overdue turning point for women. They may be a watershed for all of us.

You knowingly voted for a sex pest.
So did I (and probably you) when I voted for Bill Clinton.
Regret it now.
There are many, many things I abhor about Trump including his treatment of women. However, that is one issue that makes me a big ol'hypocrite thanks to Bill.
Don't feel I can say much about Trump or Moore being unfit unless I admit to being wrong in voting for Clinton.
Also makes me question my response to Franken since I perceive the intent behind the actions different from Moore...still wrong mind...but how much of my perception is my own bias?

'Knowingly' though? When did the accusations surface?
Don't recall nationally, but I'm from Arkansas where he was governor. It was known much like Moore in Alabama.
My conscience is clean. I voted with no knowledge of the scandal that broke after his election.
So, a lot of people in the states don't seem to like Elisabeth Warren, maybe because she's too outspoken or they've bought the fox line that she's further left than Mao or the whole 'Pocahontas' thing but I haven't met anyone who can reasonably disagree with any of her policies.
To me, it's a good example of the media moulding the public opinion of a person. They do that a lot with fiery women here.
Anyway a few years back she set up the CFPB, a bureau who's job it is to look out for the consumer, to stop the regular joe from getting screwed over by banks, insurance companies etc. Needless to say, big business hate it, as does Trump, so it looks like he's putting Mick Mulvaney in charge. Of course Mulvaney wants to shut the whole thing down.
Is there anyone out there who can explain to me how this is a good idea?
