That's simply not wise.

Even if they hire a female mouthpiece to try to shield them.

Now it's your turn to answer the question in post 8021.


The moan was audible, when it was announced, the old white guys would not be questioning the witness.
The scramble to put a political angle on it was put into play and came up as empty, as Mueller looking for the Russian connection.

I thought she was afraid to fly. So where is she now? Still in California? How is she supposed to get to DC by tomorrow?

Pubs are afraid of looking into Kavanaugh's past, because skeletons are beginning to dance out of his closet.

I won't even mention the 100,000 pages of documents on his time in the Dubya admin that Pubs are blocking.

No doubt they have their reasons for doing that.

And we ALL know what that reason is.




You people of the sexual revolution, created a huge problem, you want to now blame Conservative prude people for?
Have you thought this through?

There was never a plan for her to ever show up and make the Democrats look bad.
They will blame the Republicans for bulling her and scaring her, so she was afraid to show her face and answer what she has accused.

And the fact that no one can corroborate it doesn't mean it didn't happen either. How many sexual assault victims have witnesses? I am appalled by how many people automatically discount her just because Kavanaugh is a ___________. Besides, what deceitful motivation could she possibly have for bringing it up? What beef does she have against Kavanaugh that she would lie about something so damaging? She is not politically active. She is merely a college professor and no one has discussed any relationship with any bigwig politicians that I know of.
It is not discrediting her right away, it is everything together that makes me not believe her. The timing, the lack of a name mentioned before, and most importantly, the witnesses she said was there do not recall such a party, and even her friend goes on to day she had never met or known kavanaugh.

It is not thenough fact she cannot prove the assault, she cannot even prove the party happened.

She also says the number on the therapist notes are wrong, alert of a critical detail, went from saying she never told anyone to she told three friends, and went from stating the incident took place in the early 80s to exactly in 82.

Her story changes has she tries to bolster it, I do not trust that.

Kavanaugh's behavior (the topic here) was not that of a prudish conservative.

And why are they blocking 100,000 pages of documents from Kavanaugh's time in the Dubya admin?

Why the big rush to cram him through when they were willing to delay filling Scalia's seat for a year?

There's more at stake here than a single seat on the SC.

Hyperpartisans see no inconsistencies here, but the rest of America does.

Trumplings understand completely why that is.

So does everyone else.

This, in football parlance, is "running out the clock." The Democrats' tactics on the Affordable Care Act (Democrats only voted for it in both houses), the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action a/k/a Iran deal (vote circumvented), and Paris Climate Accords (vote circumvented) and Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) were dubious at best.

And I am a lifelong Democrat for voted for Hillary and was very upset when she lost. But not to the point of wanting a coup.

... and she did some work in Hawaii. Did she go by boat??? Ford is a liar. Kavenaugh has released his calendars from the period in question. He was busy boy and didn't have time to go to some alleged party.
