    Well, someone had to go look:

    “psst, that's why real Americans are willing to see an investigation happen to determine how truthful the allegations are. I wouldn't blame the democrats for trying to get a court order for all the documents to be released and give a week to review them and then continue with the hearing. Why are trump supporters so quick to dismiss stuff and try and rush it through. I'd feel the same way if it was the opposite parties but here you are showing your bias by claiming the women are lying. No wonder you guys were labeled deplorables.”



    And in reply to @tlongII ’s post below,
    “I haven't been paying attention to a lot of the details, but from what I've seen:

    1. The accusations are coming from 3-4 women.
    2. The incidents occurred over 30 years ago.
    3. No report of the incidents was made to law enforcement until relatively recently. In fact I'm not sure if there has been anything reported to law enforcement to date.
    4. Kavanaugh has denied the incidents occurred and multiple contacts of his from the period of time also profess no knowledge of the incidents.

    This is just slander in my opinion. The investigation is likely to run its course, but it is clear to me that this is stalling.”

    You said:

    “Your opinion or any of our opinions don't mean squat. Do an investigation and let the truth fall where it may fall.”

    I think you nailed it in that last quote, but you haven’t seemed to agree with respect to Tara Reade.

    Hmmm? You apparently cherry picked what you wanted and forgot the below two posts.

    CupWizier, post: 4548775, member: 22259 actually it isn't as blocking a nomination for about a year for NO reason was bad and how do you know the accusations aren't legit? There were so many other factors for not confirming Kavanaugh that the sexual assault allegations played very little into my opinion of him. There has to be much better options.[/QUOTE]

    CupWizier, Oct 6, 2018Report#2029 In retrospect, my feelings on Kavanaugh had very little to do with the sexual allegations, but I didn't like the fact that he lied, showed lack of control, showed a complete bias against another party and some of his policies I disagreed with and felt that regardless of party affiliation there had to be someone better than Kavanaugh.

    By the way, did you actually think the investigation ordered by the senate was a legit investigation? Did you think that the trump administrations refusal to turnover documentation they had acceptable? kavanaugh was being vetted for a very high ranking and lifetime position also. Biden was already vetted back when he was appointed vice president in 2008 and nothing was found then.

    I only picked the posts that had to do with the assault allegations. You’re perfectly entitled to your opinions on Kavanaugh and the hearing process. I think the Republicans did what the Dems are doing this time: protecting their man.

    Sure and conveniently left out the posts where I said kavanaughs sexual allegations were pretty much the least of my concern as there were other issues. I have no idea what your issue is with me lately, but let's at least keep it real. The big difference is that kavanaugh had a confirmation hearing in which the sexual allegations came out as they didn't have a special hearing. Biden had a vetting hearing in 2008 and the republicans had their opportunity then and nothing came up. If Biden were to have a confirmation hearing I have no doubt the allegations would be brought up and likely investigated, but at this time the allegations are rather loose and have changed through the process.

    Ginsburg swears she never touched that intern, and women need to be believed.

    Cup, I have zero problems with you. My only point is that it seemed you were much more ready to believe Ford than Reade and you wanted an investigation of her allegations, but not Reade’s. My point had nothing to do with the Kavanaugh mess itself.

    I think you’re incorrect on the vetting process Biden went through before being selected as Obama’s VP running mate. The vetting was done by Obama’s team. The Republicans weren’t involved at all.

    Whether the republicans were involved in the actuall vetting isn't the issue, but Obamas team found nothing. You don't think the freedom caucus was looking for anything regarding Obama or Biden? I have a very strong hunch they were.

    Trump is fair to male and female students alike. He cheated them all equally at Trump University.

    I felt him get closer to me from behind. He leaned further in and inhaled my hair. I was mortified. I thought to myself, “I didn’t wash my hair today and the vice-president of the United States is smelling it. And also, what in the actual f***? Why is the vice-president of the United States smelling my hair?” He proceeded to plant a big slow kiss on the back of my head. My brain couldn’t process what was happening. I was embarrassed. I was shocked. I was confused. There is a Spanish saying, “tragame tierra,” it means, “earth, swallow me whole.” I couldn’t move and I couldn’t say anything. I wanted nothing more than to get Biden away from me. My name was called and I was never happier to get on stage in front of an audience.

    Yeah, big deal. More than half the women voters in this country support Joe Biden as do virtually all of the women Democrats. Now, these cartoon characters characterizing real women Democratic prominent political figures would seem to be a lock to support Biden as well as oppose Trump.I'll bet you can add Elizabeth Warren and Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer to the list. I suppose Madeleine Albright might make that list as well.

    I was responding to your post "Oh you mean the guidelines to colleges recently where male students can’t get “due process” yet he wants due process for his allegations? Sounds fair." So, unless you were deflecting than neither was I.

    Well, I suppose the deal with me, and I've already stated in here a number of times, is that, now that the sexual harassment playing field appears to be relatively leveled Biden and Trump, won't it all boil down to policies themselves? Last time I checked (could be wrong, as I haven't scoured his record), Biden appears to be policy-less. As Ross Perot used to decry...."Where's the beef?!"

    All of those pertain to this thread. Trump doesn’t. Stay on subject
