Did you really write that? Indeed you did. There it is right up there.
The GOP- Pubs in your vernacular- have done everything but beg the woman to come before Congress and testify. Testify before Congress with TV cameras capturing every single second, broadcasting it to the entire world, and recording every bit so as to save it forever.
How is that sweeping in under the rug, Old Gringo? Really, I would like to know.
Contrast that with a Senator who sits on the letter for six weeks and a woman who makes an accusation but will not back it up in public.
It's being used as a stall and then anyone objecting to the stall is going to get blasted as "anti-woman".
This is pretty much standard politics.
From everything I'm seeing, the accusation isn't getting much traction among moderates.
I am seeing them question whether or not it is true, but not dismiss it.
That is the relevant part.
Do people really not care in 2018 if they wind up with a rapist as a member of the SCOTUS?
I confess to being amazed that nobody cared about the Anita Hill/Clarence Thomas ordeal.
The part that gets me is the digging in of heels. There are dozens of qualified judges the POTUS could submit for SCOTUS nominees. If one has even a hint of impropriety, why keep on trying to confirm that judge?
It's slimy.

And now Grassley is saying that it should be the republican-led Senate committee who should lead an investigation, not the FBI.
Are republicans not aware they're hurting their own case here? To hear an extremely biased Grassley say something like this speaks volumes. The FBI is a non-partisan, neutral organization that will conduct an unbiased investigation.
For Grassley to suggest that the senate committee, led by republicans who are heavily biased and want to see Kavanaugh get confirmed, lead the investigation....that just raises eyebrows and creates more questions than answers.
Though the GOP is in charge of this whole thing, it feels like the power is slipping out of their hands as they continue to stumble and trip over their own feet, making this Kavanaugh/Ford issue worse and worse.
We've reached a point of no return: the only way to solve this sexual allegation chaos is for an FBI investigation.
Except in this case, Ford hasn't actually told anything to the FBI or other LEO.
Right....…..in this case, she knows she can demand they investigate her story all the while knowing they will not...…....because they already said they wont.
So really, she's free to make up whatever she wants. She will only face peril if she lies to Congress and it can be proved she did so. Pretty hard to do and rarely pursued charge.
If you think that happened, why do you not think some random boy could rape a classmate?
Unless Brett Kavanaugh is your best pal you've known since kindergarten, you have no idea whether or not he's a rapist.
But,there is a woman saying that he IS one... why assume she's saying it for any reason other than he did do what she said? I mean, everyone knows you get attacked for speaking out against anyone to do with the Trump admin, so what is to be gained by speaking up and receiving death threats?
What, because she didn't speak up immediately? I mean, people seem not to want to believe this sort of thing can happen, so is anyone surprised when rape victims don't speak up?
Especially teenagers.
Huh? No. She isn't saying that Kavanaugh raped her. Where are people getting that? Is this some kind of mass hysteria event?
