Collins was asked by Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union whether she had betrayed women

[FONT=&quot]A day after Justice Kavanaugh, as he is now titled, was granted the ninth seat on the nation’s highest court, in the face of fierce protests, Collins was asked by Dana Bash on CNN’s State of the Union whether she had betrayed women. The Republican senator replied: “This is a case where there was an incident that happened allegedly 36 years ago where there is no corroborating evidence.”

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]She went on: “It is not fair to Brett Kavanaugh for this to be disqualifying in the absence of evidence, but that does not mean that I don’t believe Christine Ford was a victim of sexual assault.”

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Collins then put further space between herself and Ford, the California-based professor who accused Kavanaugh of attempting to rape her at a teenaged gathering in Maryland in the early 1980s. She said that she found Ford’s testimony before the Senate judiciary committee “heartwrenching, painful, compelling” but she went on to say: “I believe that she believes what she testified to.”

[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But Democratic Hawaii senator Mazie Hirono shot back at Collins’s phrase, asking: “What is that?” on CNN, and calling it insulting to Ford.[/FONT]

Collins is the greatest

[FONT=&quot]Collins told CBS’s Face the Nation that former president George W Bush phoned her three times to talk up Kavanaugh, who worked at the Bush White House. She said pressure from both sides had been “overwhelming”.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]The political wing of the women’s health organization Planned Parenthood, which has been a firm ally of Collins in the past and even presented her with an award, put out a [/FONT]devastating statement[FONT=&quot] in which it said: “Senator Collins has made it clear that she can no longer call herself a women’s rights champion. She has sided with those who disbelieved, disrespected, and even mocked survivors.”[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]A [/FONT]crowd-sourced fund[FONT=&quot] set up this weekend to try and unseat Collins when she comes up for re-election in 2020 has already attracted more than $2m. On Friday, [/FONT]

Susan Rice, former national security adviser to Barack Obama when he was president, hinted that she was considering running for the Maine seat.

[FONT=&quot]Collins hit back at Rice on Sunday with a snarky remark about her potential rivals’ connections to Maine. “As far as Susan Rice is concerned, her family has a house in Maine, but she doesn’t live in [/FONT]Maine[FONT=&quot] and everybody knows that.” And in a dig that online commentators saw as Trump-like in its tone, Collins added sarcastically that when Rice was nominated as ambassador to the United Nations in the Obama administration “she came to me and pleaded with me to introduce her” to a key senate committee.[/FONT]

This is the key what Collins said

She said that she found Ford’s testimony before the Senate judiciary committee “heartwrenching, painful, compelling” but she went on to say: “I believe that she believes what she testified to.”

This is what I also believe, that Ford is delusional even a variant of Munchausen Syndrome.

I believe there never was a sexual incident, Ford imagined it and convinced herself it happened and continued believing that all her life. She just fitted Brett into this as a political goal to try and stop his nomination. Because she convinced herself she had been raped, she could have named anybody of her choosing, but she named Bret for political reasons.

The key here is that her best friend did not even know Brett.

Yep pretty much.

Regardless of the fact that Collins did the right thing she has been an
unreliable vote in the Senate. The ideal situation would be for a true
conservative to beat her in the primary and then go on to win in the general
thus securing a conservative vote in the Senate.

Don't know if you noticed but that type of 'conservative' is not very popular in the New England area, hell in most of the northeast for that matter.

In Jersey there is a real shot at unseating Sen. Menedez by a Republican named Hugin. Problem is Hugin is running as more of a Colins Republican rather than a conservative. If he wins he will be the first Republican Senator sent to D.C. since 1972.

So my question to you is should I vote for a non conservative Republican to unseat a corrupt Democrat or sit on my hands and not vote because Hugin is not a conservative?

I know a conservative is not welcome in the New England area. It's just way it is.
But what the hell, I can dream can't I?

The Jersey situation is a no brainer, vote for the "R" regardless of whether he's
a limp dick or not. The day of voting for a "D" because he is a better candidate is
not acceptable. If he was worth a hill of beans he'd be a Republican. There is no
room for a "moderate" in either party. Just look at Manchin, he has waisted all these
years being a Democrat. He could have done good for the country but he aligned himself
with a bunch of crazies.

It's at a point now that it doesn't matter if you vote your conscious, when your party is
out of control your vote is useless. Just look at the leaders of the Democratic party,
they're all mud people. No vision, no inclination of right or wrong, just blind hatred
for all that is America.

The days of Ronald Reagan and Tip O’Neill and Bill Clinton and Newt Gingrich working
together are long gone. It's now kill or be killed.

How did we get to this point?

I'm a New England conservative. And there are more of me everyday.

Because the left have become open-borders socialists. You don't compromise with people who want to turn America into Venezuela.

What are you talking about, open borders worked wonders for Syria and Afghanistan.
Also don't knock socialism, look what it's done for Cuba.

The Kavanaugh effect:

-AZ: McSally (R) +6
-TN: Blackburn (R) +8
-NV: Heller (R) +2
-TX: Cruz (R) +6
-ND: Cramer (R) +12

The left's angry mobs have charged up the right!
