I think the evidence goes along with the accusation.
Teens partied like crazy back then.
Christine Blasey claims the attack happened at a party.
Maybe the Kavanaugh thought she was easy. I'm sure this scenario has repeated itself many times in history.
"The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school."
www.npr.org...
I recently learned of an acquaintance that was raped by someone close. The woman refused to go to police. She did tell several people and family members. Although I understand why women don't go to the police, I really wish they did right after it happened. At least there would be a record. If anything, it might prevent another person from suffering the same fate.
Educational Center were also favorite junior hangouts. Lastly one cannot fail to mention the climax of the Junior social scene, the party. Striving to extend our educational experience beyond the confines of the classroom, w e played such intellectually stimulating g a m e s as Quarters, Mexican Dice, and everyone's favorite, Pass-Out, which usually resulted from the aforementioned two. This year marked a digression from the Preppie, primrose path (our condolences, Anne) as more of us adopted N e w Wave, Valley Girl, Bohemian, or just plain bizarre attitudes. The N e w Wavers donned T-shirts and jean jackets, tuned into W H F S and Stray Cats, and shopped Commander's. Valley girls like "grossed themselves out of doors" all over the school particularly in the c h e m room, huh Louise? Bohemians displayed yet another facet of our versatile minds. Lisa Shapiro, our resident flower child adorned with garland, beads, and army jacket, led her team in choruses of "Hell, No, W e Won't G o " in first period P.E. And then there were the bizarre: Adrienne, one doesn't wear two different shoes on the first day of school if one wants to be considered.
Drinking at parties till you pass out... This would undoubtedly bring her memories of the evening into question.

maybe this is why shes not wanting to testify.

She does backtrack but if you read between the fine print:

“That it happened or not, I have no idea,” Cristina King Miranda told NPR’s Nina Totenberg.
“I can’t say that it did or didn’t.”
Miranda’s new statement directly contradicts her Facebook post, in which she wrote,
“The incident DID happen, many of us heard about it in school.”
“In my post, I was empowered and I was sure it probably did [happen],” Miranda told NPR this morning.
“I had no idea that I would now have to go to the specifics and defend it before 50 cable channels and have my face spread all over MSNBC news and Twitter.”
I guess where I'm going with this, is that this lady claims that she heard about it at the time, and now she is being grilled to death about it and does not want the spotlight (I don't think it necessarily means she is lying). If what she claims is true, that many heard about it in school, there should be more character witnesses. I guess where there's smoke, there is fire.

"She later posted on Facebook: "To all media, I will not be doing anymore interviews. No more circus for me. To clarify my post: I do not have first hand knowledge of the incident that Dr. Christine Blasey Ford mentions, and I stand by my support for Christine. That's it. I don't have more to say on the subject. Please don't contact me further."

Women are likely to go back to the old ways of reporting rape. Which is telling a big brother, family members, male friends, and they will then go back to the old ways of taking care of it.
Women get into court, and many are still vilified, shamed, humiliated, etc....
It's still a mans world (for the most part), and the few women who file false reports don't help. When a woman is raped, it's bad enough, then the cops and courts make it worse. Then it gets publicized all over the place....
I don't even remember how this latest Kavenaugh thing started. Did someone else come forward, or talk her into this? The timing is awful, politicizes it all, and might deter other women from coming forward in actual cases, after seeing this one dragged through the mud.

They must keep her credibility in tack if they are to have any chance of getting anything to stick. The problem liberal's fail to realize if you try and hold your current standards to your past actions they will never hold up well. Especially in a court of law.
Not saying she deserved anything. I'm saying I don't think any misconduct happened. They were kids at a party drinking. I doubt anyone recalls that night some 30 plus years ago.
If she really feared for her life it wouldn't have taken half a life time to process it... Yet I'm supposed to believe it's one giant coincidence this is coming up now?
Sorry leftists.
You boys and girls have cried wolf a few thousand times to many. Gonna need actual legitimate proof. Not just the testimony of some woman who was intoxicated to the point of passing out.

Her story contradicts what Ford herself said. Ford said it was during the summer....school was out. So....how did this lady hear about it in school exactly?
On Tuesday, Mr. Cornett, referring to Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat, tweeted: “According to sources Diane [sic] Feinstein’s reluctance to mention the Kavanaugh accuser’s letter during confirmation session is because the accuser sent a similiar [sic] letter directed at Judge Gorsuch last year.” In a follow-up tweet, he said that he had “no idea” if the information was true, but that “my source has been very accurate in the past.”
