And, according to another poll:
More noteworthy, 54 percent of Republicans said that they would support confirming Kavanaugh even if it turned out that the sexual assault accusations against him are true.
Only 32 percent of Republican voters disagreed with that sentiment.
www.salon.com...
So, in simpler terms, it doesn't matter to "republicans" (and I assume many others) whether or not he sexually assaulted this woman or any other back then or now.
The sole qualification required is that he is on the Corporations uber alles team.
I think the accusations are a big deal if true. many do not.
I dont think its because he is corporate, i think its because they dont think assault from teenage years that would be expunged from his record by now anyways shouldnt matter. Again, i disagree.
Meanwhile, how many democrats, including media people and democratic senators, believe that innocent until guilty no longer apply (as long as its a political opponent)?

Doesn't matter what you think - you brought up a pole - I countered with a pole.
I'm certain you are a honest, upstanding citizen. We are talking about polling data.

I'm going to enjoy and relish their anger when justice Kavanaugh is sworn in!
And that's only the beginning. There are a couple of additional "October surprises" up President Trump's sleeve.

The problem is too many Democrats do not listen to (or care about) the "facts". What their favorite liberal media outlet tells them to believe, is all that counts.
What's great, is that Kavanaugh is not in a general election. Only what Republicans in the Senate think, is what will matter when the vote to confirm him is called.

Right, and then you gave your explanation of what the meant, which was no where in that poll, and I responded.
And the poll I showed discussed how when people hear the facts, it goes from a minority to a majority supporting him.
And I showed how little the media mentions those facts.
Does that trouble you?

And just what facts are you on about.
I was using the 'whataboutism' approach much favored by ATS members.

The reason is because the MSM and culture such as tv shows, music, celebrities, etc. have been dominated by people insinuated Kavanaughs guilt while withholding key parts of the story.
I disagree and I would add that a lot of misstatements have been made regarding this issue, including by Kavanaugh at the hearing which I found a bit disturbing given that he's a seasoned Judge who is being confirmed for a lifelong position on the highest court in the land.
You were careful in the OP not to make the same misstatement and kudos to you.
In his opening statement:
Her trademark line is a good reminder, as we sit here today, some 36 years after the alleged event occurred when there is no corroboration and indeed it is refuted by the people allegedly there.
Two more times in the same opening statement:
Dr. Ford’s allegation is not merely uncorroborated, it is refuted by the very people she says were there, including by a long-time friend of hers. Refuted.
Cruz at the hearing goes even further in his mischaracterization, adding "explicitly":
They have not only not — not corroborated her charges, they have explicitly refuted her charges. That’s significant to a fair-minded fact finder.
I noted it the time:

Also, he keeps claiming that the other people claimed to be there by Ford have all refuted her claim. That's a lie. They all said they had no recollection. That's not the same thing. He should know this. He's trying to be a SCOTUS justice for life.
I've seen more than a few headlines in the right-wing media and heard far more pundits, politicians and the like repeating this same exact mischaracterization using the term "refute" and in some cases, "reject."
That's not the same thing as you're phrasing — "can't corroborate" — so clearly you recognize the difference and made the distinction.

I think this is no longer about Kavanaugh. The true aim is white men (and any race or sex, if you happen to be a conservative).
ABC NEWS: Us white male Christians need to step back and give others room to lead
Read that and tell me you think otherwise.
