They all have major character flaws though. I can’t imagine it won’t be a massive fight getting any of the others on

It's grotesque that you would attack a then 15 year old for not having the strength to come forward in a society where even 35 years later, a judge just let a man escape from serving any jail time when he pled guilty to felony sexual assault for strangling a woman and masturbating on her.

Christine Blasey Ford was a victim, and it was not her responsibility to prevent what now appears to be a multiple sexual assaulter in Brett Kavanaugh from committing his offenses. It was his responsibility to not attempt to rape or sexually assault women.

Jeez. Can you liberals twist words, or what?

I never said I wouldn't have come forward AT THE TIME. I specifically said that, as an innocent 15-year-old, I would have gone home crying to my mother, who would have convinced me to come forward - and for the reason you said: to stop him from possibly doing it to someone else.

I am saying that if I did what Ford did, which was to keep quiet for decades, would I then come forward with a story of assault 35 years later, saying I don't remember where it was or when it was, in an effort to try to take him down because I don't like his politics.

The death throes of communism failing in this Representative Republic sure is ugly, but here we are...

It is not even this though; the witnesses she stated were there, including her friend, have stated they do not even recall the party. It goes beyond just the accusation, her witnesses do not even support the basic underlining premise that there was a party that it happened at.

No. I'm saying that if she didn't come forward as a 15-year-old, she should not have come forward with a story 35 years later when she has no evidence, no witnesses, and can't even state the time or place, knowing it will destroy his career,devastate his wife, and humiliate his children.

And you're saying that it was his responsibility not to attempt to rape - as if that's what happened. You're judge, jury, and executioner, and we haven't even heard any testimony. And worse - you're saying he's a multiple sexual assaulter? Why? Has someone else jumped on the bandwagon with an unsubstantiated accusation?

You're talking as if he's guilty.

He wanted female clerks who looked a certain way. Then he would help them in their careers. Just sayin'.

I an others called it days ago, predicted that as the current accusation falls apart, mysteriously other ones will pop up, all vague, all with an underlying story that can never be confirmed nor denied, shielding anyone from punishment about lying, yet easily smearing Kavanaugh despite absurdly lack of evidence to support the accusation.

Was also expecting people to fall from the sky backing Ford's claims, but surprisingly it has not happened yet, though a classmate tried with her "I heard a rumor" claim.
