    So is your position more of a devil's advocate type position, or do you actually believe Kavanaugh may be a dirtbag?

    I'm not trying to play devil's advocate so much as I'm trying to raise the minimum level of commentary. If we're going to complain about the Dems trying to draw completely BS inferences between things like high school drinking and partyig being indications of being a rapist, then if we at the same time make equally BS inferences of equating success to being fair and having integrity, that just makes us hypocrites.

    I get so tired of the double standards and looking the other way for your team but not the other. Anyway, that was my point. I'll knock it off in this thread.

    Can't argue with that. I can tell you what, I like to drink beer as much as he did and I don't even keep a calendar now, let alone when I was 17. The event calendar was pretty impressive IMO.

    The problem with that line of thinking, in this case, is that Kavanaugh had a pretty impressive portfolio of people saying he was a good man and great jurist. Six FBI BGCs.

    No one said anything different that I saw. I think Dims we’re frustrated by this—he appeared almost boring other than his constructionist views.

    Until two weeks ago. And boom, we’re taking about high school drinking and fart jokes.

    No one is perfect and the process did look at positives and negatives. It’s the Ford claim that has made this absurd.

    I agree. It's not like he came out of the woodwork, he's had a long history of notoriety and plenty of time for people he's supposedly hurt to come out about it.

    This is going to backfire on the liberal left pigs (can I call them pigs?) . I think the 'on the fence' unaffiliated female voter will see this as it is, a smear campaign by a party who will parade false 'victims' for the party cause with no consideration of the so called accusers who have been coached and used like a political tampon. I was able to listen to maybe 35% of the hearings on and off. If I was watching it I'm sure my eyes would be bleeding.

    I am really ashamed of our Government right now. The entire world is watching our Republic falling apart and (as usual) the media is stoking the flames.
    Time to wake up folks.

    VOTE to keep these clowns at bay, really important to spread the word. Don't let these F*cks gain an inch!

    I heard it brought up, and I have to agree, that with a seven hour hearing, it will really depend which parts people heard. Even NPR said if you only heard the second half, you'd be wondering what in the hell kind of scam the Democrats were running, compared to if you just heard the first half, you'd be thinking about some brave victim. I really hope that people get to hear clips of both, but given the left lean of the media, I'm not holding my breath that clips aren't going to be chosen to favor the left over the right. I hope you're right though. I was also really impressed with Grahams little outburst. I thought he tempered it perfectly.

    That's diplomatic. I'll go with what you wrote as my version would probably ruffle some of the snowflake feathers on this forum.
