Collins Live Thread

[DIRTYSECRET]

2 female Senators in the background. Staged. Get on with it Susan.

[Right Wing Assault]

I think they were clapping because they finally knew the speech was over!

That clapping woke me up!

[guitar Josh]

YYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Electric Graffiti]

Finally. Hannity loved the speech. LMAO

“Doesn’t matter to me anymore. For me, this has become whether the Socialists get away with destroying our country through lies, slander and intimidation.”

That’s about it. Had the Left stuck with an honest review of what Kavanaugh thinks, it’s possible that we might not be any more happy with him than we were with Harriet Miers. He has all sorts of experience but he doesn’t seem interested in issues that concern conservatives.

[dfwgator]

Reminds me of Bill Clinton’s 1988 Democratic Convention speech where the biggest applause came when he said, “And in conclusion....”

[blackberry1]

He’s been a stealth Bushie all along. An open minded centrist who likes beer and is likely to lean hard right on the social issues.

[gogeo]

Collins is certainly a liberal, but she is also judicious, and offering an excellent argument for Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

This is aimed at Flake and her constituents. Smart.

[XRdsRev]

I agree it was a very good speech and historic. Well done and well thought out.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Thanks. I didn’t know.

[wattsgnu]

Ha! I was waaay off! I thought she was wrapping up when I posted that. lol. Then, 10 minutes later, management was around my desk and I had to turn it off. Came back and it was STILL going! But, at least the ending was good!

[CaptainK]

Tears are rolling down my face

[sheikdetailfeather]

Joe Manchin is a “yes” now.

[Pollard]

Time ta break open a ‘ski for Kav

[MaxistheBest]

a Profile in courage

[Not A Snowbird]

We just got Manchin, too.

[pgkdan]

We are listening to a real American heroe.

No. We're listening to Susan Collins.

[Pelham]

“He’s in!”

So was Roberts once. I suspect Kavanaugh will be equally disappointing.

[AJFavish]

Kavanaugh is NOT a swamp dweller

Depends on your definition of "swamp":

Joe Manchin is a yes. Steve Daines can stay in Montana now. Shep can take it up the pooper while sobbing.

“Wench” reminds me of the Bob Hope - Virginia Mayo movie The Princess and the Pirate.

Best line in the movie is when Hope says to her, “Sit down and take a load off my eyes.”
