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.
