Kavanaugh Drama Risks Driving Moderates, Women Away From GOP

[dvdjs]

Yes, she literally didn’t say “Catholics.”

So why the pretense that she did?

 

[Victoria33]

The Democratic platform, national platform, certainly goes against some Catholic beliefs.

 

[MonteRCMS]

Not just Podesta. Hillary Clinton also.

Oh … gosh … so … it was Hillary … after all!

Who woulda thunk it?!

Reminds me of this >>

and reminds me of this >>

[We really just barely dodged the bullet … didn’t we! ]

Funny how the completely immoderate position of a “man is guilty until proven innocent and has no right to confront his accuser” is the position that is going to alienate “moderates”…

 

[grotto]

What happened? Hillary ought to know - she is at it again. She is telling everyone how the FBI can investigate Judge K, easy peasy. She should know ALL about how the swampy 7th floor went to work for her!

the completely immoderate position of a “man is guilty until proven innocent and has no right to confront his accuser” is the position that is going to alienate “moderates”…

As the article linked in the OP states:

There is a risk for Republicans if they appear to be insensitive to the accusations, especially among suburban women
Insensitive to the accusations - dismissing her voice because she reported too late, he was in high school, he was drunk, she was fast, she is a ™liberal, we are in a hurry to confirm, etc., etc.

No one is saying “a man is guilty until proven innocent and has no right to confront his accuser”.

They should be prosecuted at the time, not 3+ decades later.

What’s being called for is an “investigation”, not a “prosecution”, and there simply is no need for a rush to judgement or politicizing this. IOW, let’s wait & see before passing any judgment on either.

 

[MonteRCMS]

There were six headshot photos on Facebook of women who accused Bill Clinton … but they were called “bimbo eruptions” … believe all women’s accusations UNLESS they are accusing Democrats.

 

[MikeInVA]

Perhaps that is why the lady is asking for a real investigation.

Then she should go to the police in whatever town she thinks the event may have happened and make a statement there. The FBI does not have jurisdiction for this type of crime.

 

[Jeanne_S]

If you are correct in your assessment then this will be THE most underhanded despicable dirty smear campaign that the Dems have pulled to date.Words fail me re how sad this whole thing is.

 

[HarryStotle]

No one is saying “a man is guilty until proven innocent and has no right to confront his accuser”.

Actually, that is precisely what Ford is saying in her terms. She wants Kavanaugh to appear first leaving no opportunity for him to actually address her allegations.

This is to say nothing of the “We believe her” campaign being pushed by the Dems, the media and Hollywood.

How can she be believed before she presents any evidence or before Kavanaugh has an opportunity to speak to it?

The answer is that “we believe her” translates to “he is guilty” irrespective of his rights to confront his accuser.

So, yes, someone – in fact, many – are “saying ‘a man is guilty until proven innocent and has no right to confront his accuser’,” with the implication that women ought to be believed without the need to present any evidence.

 

[dvdjs]

The answer is that “we believe her” translates to “he is guilty”

No. “We believe her” means that we will not prioritize a political agenda over giving her a fair hearing hearing, untainted by the tweeted bias of Republicans with the committee. We will not dismiss her or accuse her. We will not say ignorant things like:

What happened to Bill Clinton?

 

[dvdjs]

There were six headshot photos on Facebook of women who accused Bill Clinton

Do you have a link - with faces and dates?
Can you tell us what each of these six women accused Clinton of?
Did they have the opportunity to make their case?
Unlike Trump, no one voted for Bill Clinton for anything after there was evidence of his infidelity.

Does anyone know in what state jurisdiction this supposed event took place…what were the specific laws back in the 80’s…they were both minors…was she injured in any way during the supposed assault…or attempted rape…could it be 35 years later we now have the “Me Too” movement so…“oh yeah…it (supposedly) happened to me too…35 years ago”…who is to say her perception of events 35 years ago …if they happened…haven’t been embellished over time…so why didn’t she report this when he was appointed as a Circuit Court Judge…it does seem a little suspicious that now she is coming forward…especially as he is a Pro Life Catholic being nominated for the position of Justice of the Supreme Court…what’s that saying…“something is rotten in the State of Denmark”

 

[dvdjs]

Does anyone know in what state jurisdiction this supposed event took place …

Yes. Discussion here hand elswhere have talked of the jurisdiction, the laws including the possibility of trying people just shy of 18 as adults ande the lack of a stature of limitations for sexual assault. The reluctance of victims to come forward has also been discussed.

oh yeah…it (supposedly) happened to me too…35 years ago”

Good example of the things to say to drive away moderates.

 

[Victoria33]

I couldn’t find the above post mentioning Collins but she may have said that days ago. If it appears there is a continual delay at the benefit of the accuser, she may well think differently. It might have been Murkowski who said that not Kav.

The Democratic platform fully is supportive of same-sex marriage and abortion. These are very much stated evils in the Catholic Church. I think when there are those trying to uphold the Democratic side, this needs to be said and reiterated if needed.

An FBI investigation now would be far worse than a prosecution at the time it happened.

There is no pattern of behavior.

This won’t help the image either:

Spokesman for GOP on Kavanaugh nomination resigns; has been accused of harassment in the past

An adviser for the Senate Judiciary Committee has resigned amid questions from NBC News about a previous sexual harassment complaint.

He also resigned from the CRC Public Relations firm which has been retained to promote Kanavanugh’s approval and was also involved in Whelan’s scheme to finger a different, innocent man as the attempted rapist.

I do not have a way of transferring something from Facebook … but here are ten (10) accusations:
