      Like I said...

      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

        Not to mention there is good reason to believe that they only called themselves a church in order to get tax write-offs and deductions rather than because of any actual religious feelings or beliefs.

        • So, Democrats are saying, "ok, it's good that we're having the FBI investigation, so this would be a good time for Republicans to withdraw Kavanaugh's name and offer up somebody more agreeable....."

          wow

            It's that last part you're ignoring. You falsely accuse me of "partisan hatred" (very Christian of you; shall we start calling you "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hypocrite"?) when I'm just looking at the most reasonable conclusion based on the evidence.
            MM - you like to try to reverse to arrow, but you are the one acting as if you know Ford is a liar, and you simply don't have a leg to stand on. There is not enough evidence to determine she is lying. In point of fact, it does appear the sex crimes prosecutor the GOP brought in, based on her experience and later lack of forcefulness, may well have determined she was telling the truth.

            As for partisan hatred. That is pretty much a common theme for you (and others) in these discussions.

            From this thread alone :

            It infuriates me that the Republican party continues to let the Democrats get away with...

            You really think the Democrats won't use every dirty trick in the book to smear a conservative nominee, regardless of their gender?

            It will prevent the Democrats from trying to manufacture "dirt" to disqualify her.

            Democrats naturally took to Twitter to denounce George Washington as a white racist patriarchal slave owner,

            but general "grass roots" commentary I'm seeing is that liberals are laughing at Kavanaugh and calling him a sissy boy because he dared to show

            If the Republicans give an inch, the Democrats will take a hundred miles.

            ..would suggest that we're not just regurgitating party approved talking points like you liberals ...

            Unless they're liberals, and then their accusers are nothing but nuts and sluts who you can find by dragging a $100 bill through a trailer park.

            Oh, but prepare for the chorus of self-righteous liberals all clucking their tongues ...

            Liberals are deliberately making the accusations sound more serious than they really are.
            Yes MM. Partisan hatred.

            My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

            If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

            This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

Nice to see that you’ll make excuses for those that tell you things you like hearing, but don’t extend the slightest grace to those you disagree with.
              Apparently finding out that her lawyers kept her from finding out that Senate investigators were more than willing to travel to meet her where she lives and that the stories of her being afraid to fly are bogus was the tipping point for a couple of the Senators who have now indicated that they will vote to confirm Kavanaugh.

                  If you look at the timestamp in that article you'll see the article hadn't been written at the time of my post asking for the source, so funnily enough I didn't find it while googling MM's claim. While I like to think I'm good at both using google and doing research, I have yet to develop the ability to locate articles from the future.

                  Now that it's a day later several more outlets are running the story, because the Republican Senator's office has done a PR release of carefully selected claims from Mitchell, the articles are pretty easy to find by googling.

                      As opposed to sloppily citing everything she's ever said?

                        What about the one in the Washington Post that this once cites as its source?

                        And if it misrepresents Mitchell's view she strikes me as the no-nonsense sort that would have immediately squashed that account before it got much circulation.

                          I only ask this because you direct this at more people than MM, but does thinking that the Democrats mishandled this, even egregiously, equate to "partisan hatred?"

                          And, by that standard, when somebody criticizes Trump and the Republicans for not reining him in, is that "partisan hatred?"
                          I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

                            Jim, this whole sham has been because the Demcocrats (sorry for being partisan) will do absolutely anything in their power, no matter how shameless, to keep Kavanaugh (or any conservative) from being confirmed to SCOTUS because they worship at the altar of the murdered unborn baby. That's what this is all about.

                            I HATE that. I don't hate Democrats, but I HATE abortion.

                              No, I'm saying that BASED ON THE EVIDENCE, Ford is either lying, or she's irrational to continue believing her claims after her own friends refuted them.

                              Partisan, yes, but not in the extreme sense of the word; hatred, absolutely not, not in ANY sense of the word.

                              Got anything else for us, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hypocrite? Maybe you should ask me again if I'm really a Christian. That's a sure-fire winner.

                              • Senator Tom Cotton gets it:

                                "If FBI investigation is limited to 'current credible allegations' against Kavanaugh, then it should be over now, because there are no credible allegations against him.

                                "And only a fool would think this will change Senate Democrats’ shameful treatment of Kavanaugh. Mark my words."
