Why is it important that I, or anyone else, pay any attention to Whelan, particularly if he has withdrawn whatever it was he said?
Sounds like a waste of time to me.

Wrong.The Dems own the blame entirely with their dirty politics.Kavenaugh is the real victim here.His character has been maligned on mere alleged events of over thirty plus years ago. Well actually the Republicans, if they don’t insist on this woman testifying by Monday ,they need to move forward and vote Kavenaugh in.A man with a spotless record for his adult life is thrown under the bus all becUse the Dems cannot fathom another conservative appointee by Trump.I am just sickened and livid about this

And remember, the only reason they’re opposing Kavanaugh is his religion. Kavanaugh has never committed himself as to how he would vote on abortion. The Dems, including this pro-abortion activist Ford, oppose him because he’s a genuine Catholic and they THINK as a Catholic he would oppose Roe. That’s the very self of bigotry.
KKK all over again. Might as well be the 1930s, and these people might as well be wearing hoods.

It is only important if you wish that you response to a comment is properly informed by the content of that comment.

A real investigation is the last thing “the lady” wants. What she, and her handlers, want is to delay the vote on Kavanaugh until after the mid-terms so the Dems have the possibility of defeating a more conservative pick for the SCOTUS.
Anyone who cannot, at the very least, admit that as the most likely possibility is engaging in willful self-deception.

I don’t disagree that Kavanaugh can be considered a victim here.
But if his hapless supporters had given a steady response to late breaking allegation, rather than dismal show they would have calmly navigated through turbulence, and Kavanuagh’s affirmation would be imminent.
Giving in to the desire to have an all out fight at every level, rather than just following a dispassionate process was blunder. Ataraxia … not.
Too bad they didn’t call the bluff and move to an immediate and swift investigation.

You may say this as often as you like, but that will never make it true. Or even plausible.

Since I didn’t comment on the Whelan matter, I see no reason to read it just because you didn’t like it. Dislike him or what he says if you wish. It’s fine with me.
The rest of what I said was not derived from Whelan and does not require any knowledge of him on my part.

I’m not seeing a desire to have an all out fight, at least not an inappropriate desire, given the silliness from the other side.Jeanne_S:

I am generally seeing a “following a dispassionate process,” along with an abiding sense that the charade will unravel on its own. The timing, however, of the unravelling is the question mark, and perhaps the sense of urgency to make the unravelling occur a little quicker might leave the impression of a blunder.
Despite what you think of Kavanaugh’s hapless supporters, even you have to admit that Kavanaugh himself has shown remarkable dignity and infinite patience with the antics that will forever brand the Dem party as a demented clown show.
I strongly suspect this entire affair will hurt the Dems far more than it will impact the GOP.
I further suspect that you also know that.
This bears repeating (forgive the pun) …
With friends like those leading the Dem charge, who needs enemies?
You might reply that the Dems are “supporting” a woman alleging rape, but if that were truly the case, the “supporting” would have occurred two months ago when Feinstein received the letter from Ford rather than now when it functions as a politically expedient last ditch effort to delay proceedings and nothing more.
Even rape charges are now political capital. With friends like these…

You offered your opinion on blaming the victim without knowing what was talking about.

The comments and actions that noted in post #28 (and perahsp add the Tweets fom teh majority committee staffer) are not dispassionate.
I don’t know that. Time will tell.

Just saying that doesn’t make you correct. It’s obvious what they’re doing, and everybody knows it. When even “pro-choice” people admit that the opposition to Kavanaugh is about abortion, you know it’s true. As I mentioned previously, NARAL is even advertising “I believe” buttons in support of Ms. Ford, essentially saying they believe her without any evidence. This is about abortion, and the providers and other supporters are out in force to sink Kavanaugh.
And since Kavanaugh has never said how he would rule on abortion, the only reason they have to oppose him is his religion. It’s bigotry, pure and simple.
Party loyalty should not cause even Dem Catholics to accept bigotry against Catholicism.

You always feel the need to insert your personal opinions re Trump supporters.As one who constantly calls out those with whom you disagree as mind reading having big imaginations re opinions ,what do you call your statements?

The “bluff” wasn’t immediately obvious now, was it?
For any reasonably ‘human’ human being, it is necessary to reasonably assess the goings-on before going on, so to speak.
The more the tactics of the Dems are called into play, the more that reasonable voters will quietly and calmly assess whether they want any more action in this racket called the DNC.
The country will get what it deserves, and chooses.
God is, ultimately, just. Merciful, in the short term, but just in the long.

But you framed this as anti-Catholic bigotry, That frame is implausible given that Obama appointed a Catholic to the SCOTUS, with the support of Senate Democrats, the Democrats in Congress are more Catholic than the Republicans, and that so many Catholics register and vote ad Democrats. You may have an agenda to push, but that frame doesn’t wash.

I am talking about Kavanuagh supporters and focused on the hapless ones - who tweeted their misogyny, their biases, and their fantastic theories of who the real attempted rapist was.
Reading of tweets, not minds.

His administration was loaded with those types
