Why would anyone vote for "you".


Democrats really showed their ass on this one. They hoped to pile on accusation after accusation in vain hopes he'd withdraw before all the dots were connected. And guess what, they didn't realize it's a new game in town with Trump. The leftists overplayed their hand and it has backfired spectacularly. Now the Democrats are all running for cover.

It's a huge **** sandwich, and they are all going to have to take a bite out of it.

No, because you are a medical doctor. But now you know. You will now be ready in case you get report that your next emergency patient is a 17 year old teen that overdosed from boofing alcohol.

What type of surgery does he need from this? Did the bottle get stuck in his rectum?

Whoever leaked the letter is the one who should be prosecuted.

Kav has done so much drinking and partying he would never remember a 36 y/o event taking place at the age of 17.

Neither of them remember much. But, her attacker, I have no doubt, she remembered her entire life. Details after 36 years virtually impossible to recall.

She didn't lie. And, she didn't want to go public either. She wrote her concerns before Kav was even nominated.

Imo, she has a judgment and maturity issue. Why even report an event taking place 36 years ago among drunken teens. None of it can be proved, much less recalled.

Whole circus is, in the end, a nothing burger which has caused enormous harm to the country and the principals involved - and their families.

It's a shame.

But now, the tide has shifted against them, because the left doesn't like the results of their most recent investigation of another prominent individual. Of course, I'm talking about Brett Kavanaugh, now Justice Kavanaugh. Now, the FBI has run a fake investigation. They have rigged the results of the investigation. They are a corrupt organization doing the bidding of the evil old men in Congress.

Seriously folks, the two-faced double-think of the left is absolutely appalling. Furthermore, the Democrat party are truly starting to look more and more like spoiled children, who throw temper tantrums when they do not get their way. This is how your party is being viewed more and more by the people of this country. And I'm not just talking about Republicans. Independents and even members of your own party are starting to feel like their party has left them behind, choosing instead to go off on these self-righteous crusades. You are not doing yourselves any favors by questioning the integrity of the FBI. This was their 7th, let me say it again, SEVENTH investigation into Kavanaugh's background since the man became a federal judge 12 years ago. And for the seventh time, nothing was found to disqualify him from service to his country. So unless you are ready to step on your own toes, and claim that the FBI has been corrupt for at least 12 years and probably botched the investigations into Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats as well as this investigation into Brett Kavanaugh, I'd start rethinking my tactics.

And as far as what Ms. Ford could be charged with, there's a pretty long list of completely unimaginary crimes her "handlers" and "counselors" could be charged with if an investigation is initiated. With that being said though, I don't think Dr. Ford should be charged with any crime, unless there is some sort of absolutely irrefutable evidence out there that proves she lied about the whole thing. Otherwise, she should be left alone. If this woman did indeed suffer through an attempted rape, even if it wasn't Kavanaugh, the last thing she deserves is a criminal prosecution. Even if she did attempt to use her experience to take down Kavanaugh. When powerful people start pulling your strings, it's really hard to break away and stand on your own feet again. I believe what should have been a private and discreet charge levied against Kavanaugh by Dr. Ford during the interview process was instead publicized by a group of greasy Democrats who don't give a damn about Dr. Ford, the #MeToo movement, or victims of sex crimes in general. They simply saw her story as an opportunity to stop this nominee to the Supreme Court. Period. Dr. Ford was used, be it willingly or against her will, and I think she should be left alone and allowed to return to living a normal life. Of course, the question is, will she do that, or will her own personal political beliefs drive her to go out and continue to defame the character of Justice Kavanaugh. If this is the path she chooses, then I could see no other option than Kavanaugh fighting back.

Yes, I believe this is what happened. I believe this was a hoax from the get-go designed by Ford to help sink the nomination. I don't think she ever expected this would end up where it did. That she would end up in front of the nation under oath having to testify.

So you're saying that BK has the same knowledge as a medical professional?

The slang term for years for this practice has been, "boofing."
Okay so you Google, copy and paste. It still doesn't prove BK knew that is what it means before he commented on it during the hearing. Why don't you post proof that he'd used that terminology, or similar, before the hearing. After all, if you claim he is lying then you must have heard him describe it that way in the past, right?

Many people don't seem to know what that term means Even in the master BK thread, seems quite a few thought it meant farting, myself included. Some may have heard the word but hadn't heard what it means and may have just affixed their own meaning to it.

And I believe Lake Michigan resides smack dab in the middle of the Sahara Desert. Had it been done as a hoax, Ford would NEVER have gone public. She has enough life experience to know the naysayers would never believe her and do everything to destroy her and her family. Most women don't come forward for that reason. That said, the entire thing was stupid - they were both kids - the letter should never have been written. When it arrived at its destination, it should have been thrown away. 36 y/o event - impossible to prove or disprove. Further, irrelevant due to ages of both parties. None of us should be defined forever by our teen years.
