"hopefully we are not witnessing an opening salvo to be followed by additional allegations as happened to Judge Moore..."
"Nextrush Free" post on Brett Kavanaugh 9/17/2018
The 'can of worms' opened up in Alabama last December with a series of sexual assault allegations against Republican US Senate candidate Judge Roy Moore enabling Democrat Doug Jones to pull off the upset win in a "Red" state. It started with one and others followed.
And now its Judge Brett Kavanaugh's turn to be annihilated after being nominated to the US Supreme Court.
The Republican Establishment and President Trump preferred lobbyist Luther Strange for the Alabama Senate seat, but after Moore beat Strange in the primary process at least President Trump offered a perfunctory endorsement.
But the Republican Establishment shunned Moore totally and nobody, not even President Trump, offered the passionate defense offered to Judge Kavanaugh in his hour of trial by the POTUS in recent day.
And so the Democrats won and they were emboldened to play that card again because of what was done in Alabama last December.
And if Brett Kavanaugh goes down, the sky is the limit for the Democrat political machine.
Any and all GOP candidates are targets before November. Imagine the sexual assault nukes being launched against Rick Scott in Florida, Josh Hawley in Missouri or even Lou Barletta here in Pennsylvania.
Its sad to realize that a "Deplorable", a gun-toting Christian Conservative and a West Point grad to boot, was left out there to die politically last year.
Now its the Ivy League, prep school Bush type Republican's turn to meet his fate.
And if he goes, the Gates of you know what are opened up for others to follow.
Its easy for the GOP Establishment and President Trump to milk "Deplorables" like Roy Moore for their votes and get them angry about their enemies in stump speeches.
But there was failure to help one of them win election to public office last year and now the consequences are here.
I am an ex-"Drunkamentalist Christian" but I was proud to have fully supported Roy Moore including my money last year when others didn't give their full support or gave none at all.
So here we are......
Whether or not the Moore case was true, a successful pattern was established and they realized that they can use it.
Ancient history allegations, virtually unverifiable with physical evidence, can be repeated, or heaped on, in such a way that even if most everyone would have been incredulous about one, they seem to be socially forced to relent.
Even if the so-called ‘pattern’ of events are all each preposterous in their own regard, they are able to use them together using the media to slander the target.
You bet this will be used again. Even if Kavanaugh is confirmed. This has been proven to be highly effective.
“...First They Came For Roy Moore...”
Your memory is short.
Clarence Thomas...
Exactly right!
Very good post.
That was then and this is now with a new level of lowness to actually accuse people of sexual assault.
Justice Thomas was just accused of using dirty words.
The GOP-e with Mitch McConnell at the lead had as much to do with the “me-too” lynching of Roy Moore as the Democrats did.
Moore was stupid enough to let it be known that he would challenge McConnell’s leadership before his election. How did that work out for you Roy? This Kavanaugh circus would have been a lot easier to shut down with one more reliable Republican vote, but nothing’s more important than not threatening the establishment gravy-train.
The #NeverTrump crowd has developed their “Weapon of Mass Destruction” and now they are using it with impunity.
I voted for Trump to change things and I still hope he does but the decision to soft pedal support for Roy Moore last year may prove to be the undoing of President Donald J. Trump.
Fake allegations have been used for decades to take out Republicans.
One problem is with voters who hear the allegations and sit out the election because they won’t risk voting for someone who might have done whatever the allegations claim. It does not take many voters to sit out to turn the outcome of an election.
The other problem is that Washington DC is a hostile environment in which representatives are constantly surrounded with anti-American messages. At the least, they begin to believe that the Beltway insiders represent the majority of American opinion; at worst, they adopt the narrative (Stockholm syndrome).
The Democrats keep going with these tactics because they work, and will not stop until we effectively counter them. Our task is not only to reveal the tactics as blatant political ploys, but to force the left to run on issues. I.e., they need to explain to us why increasing the numbers of welfare dependents—including illegal aliens—is desirable, instead of defaulting to their standard screeches of racism. Etc.
The thing to remember about Moore is that it was not only RATs that wanted him to lose, it was Swamp Republican’s lead by McConnell who made sure he lost. It also took out Bannon who was a real growing threat to the status quo of plunder and lie.
Mr. McConnell was and is thoroughly corrupt. He deserved to be replaced and bears major responsibility for mucking up the situation for poor Brett Kavanaugh.
His hostility to Moore to begin with and his support for the insider lobbyist Mr. Strange over Moore got the ball rolling.
ANYONE who they think is in their way!
And Luther Strange is every bit as corrupt as McConnell. Trump’s support for Strange is troubling (as reasserted at yesterday’s presser), to say the least.
If not they will be back!
and CPL it's time to pay the IRS or else!
memory refreshment time
Robert Bork >>>borking is now part of the American lexicon.
The nominee for the Veteran’s Administration got derailed by the Puerto Rican doctor. Is she still in the Army?
Didn't work with Justice Thomas.
Worked with Herman Cain
Worked with Roy Moore
Pending with Kavanaugh.
EVERYONE VOTES IN NOVEMBER, no midterm slump!!!!!!
I voted for Trump to change things and I still hope he does but the decision to soft pedal support for Roy Moore last year may prove to be the undoing of President Donald J. Trump.

Everytime their smear campaign succeeds, they are only emboldened to outdo their last one.
This trend will go local...
Next it could he YOUR conservative husband - denied a promotion because ‘some woman’ had a story...
Or YOUR son - fresh out of college - thrilled to enter the work world when some woman in HR ‘discovers’ he’s conservative so he has stories shared about him...
Or a brother... father... grandson...
There’s never any punishment for the liars when a fiasco like the Kavanaugh accusations is over. The liars just go about their smiley, happy way...looking around for the next victim.
curious. who do you think was responsible for 9/11?
it’s okay, you can tell me. I think I already know.
