Some will be close; true.

The left has overstepped their bounds WAY too much this time.
They are a minority when the true colors show; and they showed them.

“Idiosyncratic evidence” like polls showing that the enthusiasm gap has vanished?

Doug Schoen has been saying this for months. For the most part, Doug is fairly even handed for a liberal. But every once in a while in an election cycle he loses perspective. He has lost it here, in my opinion.

It is possible for Ford to be “credible” with regard to her little girl voice convincing one that she suffered a sexual assault and it scarred her for life. Scchoen misses that it takes an extra step to associate that sexual assault with Brett Kavanaugh. And of course he does. After all, the left has been conditioned that screaming “racist!!” at someone is enough in a way to convict that person. But racism, while loathsome, is not an actual crime. Instead, it is a stigma.

In this instance there was an actual CRIME alleged to have been committed by Brett Kavanaugh. That is crossing the Rubicon. Your average American, doesn’t view this as just shouting “sexist” but rather something that can deny a person of their freedom. If we are going to do that, then by GOD there must be something more than a mere allegation. If not, then ALL of us are in danger. ALL OF US. The second we offend the state, we are doomed.

Schoen et al. view this through the liberal prism of the monolithic voting block. To wit, Blasely Ford was a woman, the GOP voted to confirm despite her credible claims, therefore, all women will now turn against them. I reject this because a lot of women have husbands, brothers, fathers and sons and right about now they are scared to death for them.

Schoen thinks we will forget this. Yet, even now the democrats are talking about doing what they do every time they lose. They are cooking up a way to de-legitimize the Supreme Court and talking impeachment. Mr. Schoen, the democrats won’t let us forget this. At this point one has to wonder if there is any government or rule of law the democrats will respect.

The buzz is Bill Clinton has been shoved to the side by Democrats during midterm campaign season.

Apparently some lefties are "woke" to Clinton's treatment of women......especially his rampant sexual abuse of women in the WH.

Juanita Broderick's petition to investigate Clinton's sex crimes is important because Bill Clinton continues to receive federal benefits.

<><>No criminal investigation has ever been conducted into Bill Clinton's sex crimes.

<><> a federal investigation is warranted because the crimes may have occurred across state lines.

<><> an investigation into the rape of Juanita Broaddrick is absolutely necessary,

<><> Clinton's sex crimes may constitute civil rights violations because women specifically were targeted.

========================================

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE----Prominent attorney David Schippers became a public figure when a friend of his, Congressman Henry Hyde, asked him to be the Chief Investigative Counsel for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers was a lifelong Democrat but accepted and took the job in April 1998.

The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether President Bill Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which he committed perjury regarding his affair with then-White House Intern Monica Lewinsky. After an investigation, the committee in December 1998 voted to impeach Clinton, a decision supported by Schippers.

On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee: "The President, then, has lied under oath in a civil deposition, lied under oath in a criminal grand jury. He lied to the people, he lied to his Cabinet, he lied to his top aides, and now he's lied under oath to the Congress of the United States. There's no one left to lie to."

==============================================

The Clintons were quite a pair back then.

One Clinton lies.....

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

And the other Clinton swears to it.

Standing by her man (sniffle). Hillary KNEW his sexual abuse was true---
the Clintons took a secret a poll and were advised to lie as long as they could.

=============================================

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
That smirk on Hillary's face tells the story.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."

Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 850,000 dollars.

Love how wrong and badly this article aged already.

Senate races are looking more and more like blowout levels. Beta is looking like his “lead” (with 83D/3R/14I polled of maybe voters who happened to see that there was a voting day coming up somewhere along the way) of 2 points is still narrower than last weeks. ;)

It’s getting more evident that broken glass Republicans and us Independents are ready to pull the trigger to flush the Dems down the toilet.

For some reason, what we’ve seen in the past was depression polling stopped the party that was shown down. Now, the propaganda polling against Republicans are charging the base. They have been attacked so many times, they get fired up. 2 points? LET’S SHOW THEM WRONG. That’s what we’re seeing over and over. Oh, they’re up by 6? AWESOME!!! LET’S PILE ON. What we see from Dems is “Up 2? O.K. Let’s do this.” “Down 2? Let’s give up.” So, this depression polling to try to energize their base is backfiring big time.
