Kavanaugh Can Join Thomas.

[Angrboda]

You seem to read a lot in to my posts, Jor. My stance hasn't 'moderated'. It is the same as before. The Democratic politicians have in the past and are now exploiting these allegations of sexual misconduct to slander Republican nominees.  I do not care what motivated Hill or Ford. I clearly said, with respect to Ford, I believe that she probably believes her story.

What does the phrase "unfounded slander" mean to you? I know what the common usage means. If it means something other than false allegations then say so. And if you're not saying the allegations are false, in what way is having them heard and investigated "exploitation" ? What do you mean by slander? If I have misunderstood you, then explain your real meaning. Otherwise you're just doubling down on politically motivated allegations. You claim that Ms. Blasey Ford "believes her story." That's a rather odd way of saying that you don't know whether her story is true or not. If you don't know whether her story is true or not, what do you mean by calling it unfounded slander? If you don't believe that either Ms. Hill and Ms. Blasey Ford's charges are false, then I'm asking you to retract your claim that they were unfounded slander. In that case, the only point you're making is that the timing of the allegations was inconvenient. And I'll remind you that the committee knew Ms. Hill's allegations a month before they did anything. So, ultimately, what you mean by "exploitation" is that Ms. Hill's charges were not convenient for Thomas' nomination simply because of their content. If so, how is that not judging something based upon your narrow self interest as a conservative? So you can walk back the "exploitation" claim as well. Otherwise, you're just confirming everything that I said.

I'll tell you what I see, Neo, and you can either confirm or deny it. I see you using emotionally loaded words as propaganda to undermine the accusations leveled against Thomas and Kavanaugh, and then trying to claim innocence when you are called on it. If not, then simply retract your claim and substitute that you thought that charges concerning past actions of these men was inconvenient for their nomination, or words to that effect. Otherwise you're the one guilty of making unsupported allegations, and doing so, attempting to undermine their accusers, simply out of a politically motivated desire.
