Ahhhh. Now we're gonna accuse me of sexism. Actually, defending the senator who leapt out in front of all those who were talking about censuring Franken, and asking why she is being singled out is sexist. Why should she be allowed to be that aggressive against the party and that press hungry just because she is a woman. Women have every right to be just as greedy and self-absorbed as a man. Of course, then they get the credit or blame for what they choose to do.
You keep wanting to attack other senators while not answering whether you support Kirstin's actions. It is disingenuous of you to ignore the fact that I have, in this thread, repeatedly condemned all of those senators who were part of that stupid and inept action. I am not singling out Gillibrand. You are. You are the one who keeps bringing it up. Bring up the actions of one of those who acted just as stupidly, and I will have my say about them even though they didn't jump into the fray with such alacrity as Kirsten. She wanted the credit. Not she gets the result of that poorly thought out action.
Again. I'm not singling her out even though she wanted to be singled out. (She just thought it would work out differently.) You single her out every time you hit reply and then I reply. It kicks this thread back to the top where more people get to read and get pissed at her again. Her best bet is for this to just die and be gone. Leaping on this thread or others is just as counterproductive as her actions in the first place.
How come you haven't answered about how you feel about her actions toward her fellow senator, and about how you think this benefitted the party and the country?
