Kavanaugh Drama Risks Driving Moderates, Women Away From GOP

[Metis1]

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

There is no pattern of behavior.

You’re prejudging this as we simply do not know if maybe some others may be able to confirm or deny Ford’s accusations.

 

[Victoria33]

But we know basically, that this is not in the interest of the FBI, it’s not their jurisdiction.

Why don’t I email the President or our congresspeople and ask them to re-investigate the JFK assassination. Maybe we’ll turn up something new.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Then why did you falsely claim that she did?

Oh, it wasn’t false. She just included more than Catholics in saying some religions needed to change their beliefs to accommodate to abortion.

 

[dvdjs]

Oh, it wasn’t false.

You said:

Hillary Clinton said Catholics need to “change their religion” to accommodate abortion. She meant that.

You later admitted that, unlike your version of her words, she did not specify Catholics.

I do not have a way of transferring something from Facebook

Thanks for the link, which mixes stories of affairs with stories of alleged assaults.
These women’s stories have not gone unheard. Some have been acknowledged, some have been investigated. Some have not been pursued. I think that with awareness of this record, or even 1/17th of it, Clinton would not be promoted as a nominee.

Background checks are their responsibility.

 

[Ridgerunner]

Quibbling to obfuscate the truth. In calling on all religions to change their beliefs to accommodate abortion, she necessarily included Catholics. The Dem party is and remains anti-Catholic.

 

[dvdjs]

Quibbling to obfuscate the truth.

On the contrary, I am only asking for the truth, not the spin-doctored, here’s-what-she-really-meant, words-put-in-mouth, faked version of what was said.

 

[Victoria33]

If they want an investigation, they’ve got to play ball. They aren’t even doing that yet. It looks like another deadline will come and go. It is foolish to just give in to what clearly appears like delay tactics.

 

[Victoria33]

Background checks are their responsibility.

They have already fulfilled their responsibilities per this. We are certainly going over old ground in discussing this.

 

[dvdjs]

They have already fulfilled their responsibilities per this.

What, precisely, have they done with respect to Ford’s allegations?

 

[Ridgerunner]

She said it. She meant it. You excuse it.

 

[Victoria33]

What, precisely, have they done with respect to Ford’s allegations?

Ms. Ford deserves no special treatment especially since her stories appear to be politically motivated.

 

[dvdjs]

She said it. She meant it. You excuse it.

She did not say it. You made it up.

 

[dvdjs]

Ms. Ford deserves no special treatment especially since her stories appear to be politically motivated.

This stories spun about her political motivations should have no bearing on the treatment that she should get.

 

[Victoria33]

This stories spun about her political motivations should have no bearing on the treatment that she should get.

That’s right and no investigation would be opened up if most of us made some wild accusations on the eve of a nominee of the SCOTUS being confirmed.

Why do you presume the accusation to be wild?

 

[ucfengr]

“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 believe her” means that you believe that Kavanaugh attempted to rape her, because that’s what she’s alleging. You believe her exactly because you prioritize a political agenda over a fair hearing. There can be no fair hearing for Kavanaugh here. The crime he’s accused of happened 36 years ago. No one can corroborate her story and there’s no physical evidence that a crime even happened, let alone that Kavanaugh committed it. Ford herself can’t seem to fully corroborate her story. There is no reason other than prioritizing a political agenda to believe her. The only reason for the accusation now is to give people who are eager to prioritize a political agenda a fig leaf.

 

[MikeInVA]

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

I think it’s more of an excuse for liberal republicans to vote against Kavanaugh.

Christine will testify, breaking now.
