In the end, will it just come down to how big a hit with female voter the repbulicans are prepared to wear in order to get their man through?
Ford's testimony was credible and compelling, the prosecutor they hired was unable to find anything that damaged it. They know that by ignoring it they will make a lot of women, many of them silent victims of sexual assault themselves, angry and alienated from the party. They have to weigh this up against getting this political hack on the bench. It won't be the investigation, but this calculation that determines if they push him through
Well… I guess looking at your own one-dimensional thinking… Let alone the biases that drive it… Is out of the question… Isn't it?
I think that is a something they will have to consider.
However-- I was really surprised to hear my wife say that while she was at the beauty shop, all the women watching Christine on TV said that they thought it was ridiculous. They said she should have said something thirty years ago, and had little sympathy for her. They were on Kavanaugh's side! So maybe it isn't as big of a thing as we might think!
But as you say, I can't see any woman who has been molested supporting Kavanaugh if they even suspect that he might have done it.
Certainly not unreasonable to think so. But I think they're more concerned with getting another conservative on the SCOTUS and will give up anything for that.
He will be confirmed.
- Why do all women want a strong man in their life? Even shrill feminists like Christine Blasey Ford crave a strong man that can provide for her physiological needs and sexual desires.
- How to get a private seller to come down on a car price? Ford Mustang? This lady my friend knows is selling a 1998 ford Mustang for $3000. I'm going to look at it Monday and I think I might want it. But I want her to come down to $1700. I checked the blue book and it said $1500 should be it from a private seller. So she is selling it for to much. Or could I just pay what I have and then make payments on the rest? But what can I say to make her come down?
- Kavanaugh has a legal background AND is being prepared by top notch lawyers for Monday's interview. Ford has no chance against? Them even if she tells the truth. Is she right to insist on an FBI investigation to support her claims? The SC can do with only 8 justices for a while.
- Is it true Watergate caused decreased voter turnout? I have to eliminate one of these as false: 1. One result of disallusionment caused by the Vietnam War and Watergate was decreased voter turnout. (I know the 76 election was Ford vs. Carter.) 2. Oil shortages in the 1970s made Americans realize the US was dependent on the Middle East for all of its oil. 3. A cartel is an organization that controls enough of a commodity to set the world price.
