confirm Kavanaugh, and alienate women voters in the process


They think all women are misandrist sexists. Every woman I know thinks Kavanaugh is innocent of these charges. And I know quite a few of them.

Sent this to my local talk host
Thought these hearings would be about the nominee for Supreme Court.and the nominee’s involvement into an alledged incident while a minor.

But testimony has been allowed to degrade into a purulent description replete with emotional tugging by Senator Finestein opening statement describing an alledged rape by the accuser (avoiding any reference to; Who while a teen and seems to have been sexually active and practiced consentual sex) allowed the fact the nominee was not even present or involved not to become emphasized.

If this spectacle doesn’t unite and energize the Trump, Bush and Cruz factions of the Republican Party to get out and vote in November nothing will. It’s time to vote first and figure out what we have after.

Confirm Kavanaugh.

Yeah I was telling a neoliberal friend trapped in the DC bubble this, the other night.

The “red wave” just got flushed down the rape hoax toilet. It is the single scummiest political maneuver seen in this lifetime and will reverberate deeply among a broad range of people.

The effect on black men, for example, to see the Democrats promote an obvious rape hoax... that can’t but open some wounds.

Sept. 24

Committee staff have first interview with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in 1982 that is the basis of his complaint.

Sept. 25

Committee staff have a second interview with a man who believes he, not Judge Kavanaugh, had the encounter with Dr. Ford in the summer of 1982 that is the basis of her allegation. He described his recollection of their interaction in some detail.

If the Republican prima donnas refuse to confirm Kavanaugh they will have committed political suicide for the party for the midterms and maybe for 2020.

Yeah, with every mother of sons.

I’ve had enough with the “men are rapists period” mentality of these witches.

So have most women.

No, nobody’s going to vote Democrat based on that party succeeding in not getting Kavanaugh confirmed. Nor will this make conservative voters stay home.

From what I hear even from Freepers, if the GOP can’t put the big boy pants on tomorrow and get to 51 votes then they are either not going to vote at all in Nov or they are going to vote for the D.

unfortunately, collins and/or murkowski and/or flake are most likely the real hold up here.

the dem senators that are considering voting for him have DNC guns up against their heads if they dare do.

if 2 repubs are holding out, then we cant move forward.

Well, the democratic senators finally got their chance to testify. They didn't need Ford's testimony after all./s

Please stop spamming threads with that. It makes reading on hand held devices nearly impossible.

Thanks.
