POLITICAL DIRTY TRICKS OF THE LOWEST KIND

By now everyone has heard of the allegations of this professor from California regarding Brett Kavanaugh. She claims that during a party when they were teenagers she was sexually abused by Kavanaugh. This would have been over thirty years ago. She further claims that she had only remembered the event recently during a psychological session when it magically came back to her. She claims Kavanaugh and a friend of his were “stumbling” drunk, incidentally she admits to also being drunk, and they tried to take her clothes off but she managed to escape.

Both Kavanaugh and this friend categorically and emphatically deny the allegation. In addition, some sixty-five ladies who were all together during the period in question have written glowing letters of support for the Judge suggesting that he was always a consummate gentleman and in their view incapable of the act for which he has been accused.

So, what do we think? The allegation is either true or it is a lie. If it is true, Christine Ford has a right to be heard. If it is a lie, both she and her Democrat operatives who are pushing this, should be ashamed. To me it stinks of dirty politics of the worst kind. Senator Feinstein, who was allegedly given this information, sat on it for several months waiting for the right time to drop it on the American people.

Of course the Democrats, the party of Bill Clinton, Teddy Kennedy, Al Franken, and Keith Ellison, are up in arms. What they want above all else is to see Kavanaugh not confirmed. Their second choice is to delay a vote on the confirmation until after the midterms so that Democrat Senators won’t have to vote. Many “red state” Democrats know that if they don’t vote to confirm him, they could be in serious trouble with their own constituencies. This whole deal stinks to high Heaven.

Here’s my question. If the allegation is true, what then? Are we as a nation going to punish a man who has lived an exemplary life for acts he may have committed as a teenager? And by the way, there is no way on earth to prove this act ever even took place. If this is nothing more than a political dirty trick, it is sadistically brilliant. While the accusations cannot be proven, the denial cannot be either. This is classic “he said, she said” and wouldn’t even be permitted in a court of law. The reality is she can only accuse. Is the accusation enough to ruin this man? If it is, we the people should be ashamed.

My next question is what if this is all a lie? What if it is just a political dirty trick of the lowest kind?  Dr. Ford has finally agreed to appear before the Committee to give her version of this event, but only under some very strange circumstances. For example she says Kavanaugh must go first. What? I heard one legal expert say that would be like swinging at a pitch before it is thrown.  And no reporters will be allowed to be present. In addition only certain people will be allowed to ask questions. She also is demanding another FBI investigation. Kavanaugh has been investigated by the FBI six times already. They have refused to do it again. Such an investigation would take several months. Well past the midterms. Hmmm. Sorta makes you wonder, huh?

Finally, Ford’s attorneys and handlers are all Democrat activists who are on record as part of the “Trump resistance.”

Like so many others, I don’t believe this hearing is a search for truth. Truth has nothing to do with this accusation. This is just a Democrat tactic to undermine the will of the American people and to destroy what appears to be a very fine gentleman. If we let this happen, shame on us.
