Most Republicans still want Kavanaugh if the charges are true

According to this poll, 54% of Republicans (who are proud believers in "family values"??) want SCOTUS if he did what Dr Ford is describing? Is this really true?
 
no big shock there. look at their unshakable support for Trump. he's even on tape admitting to sexually assaulting women.
 
In the past couple years I've come to the conclusion that a majority of Republicans are simply bad people.

They are not bad people.

Frat mentality? Yes
Uncultured? Yes
Nationalistic? Yes
Exposed to different cultures/beliefs? No

But i wouldnt call them bad people.

A majority of your kind would be okay with a female being raped at that party. I'd say I'm more fun than them.

I did not see that stated in that poll. It spoke of President Trumps job approval.

How many Republican with their family values voted in a man who admittedly sexually abused dozens of women and cheated on his wives and paid for sex? If someone can support what Trump has done they clearly have no problem with sexual assault, or adultery and in fact reward it.

Have to admit.. Just as surprising... 12% of Democrats and 31% of Independents agreed...

I just can't imagine that those Democrats and Independents would be capable of providing a cogent explanation for why they believe a sexual assaulter should be able to determine the outcome of the land's most important legal cases. There is simply no way they understand the importance of a Supreme Court Justice's role, or the role of the Supreme Court at all.

If I had to guess it is likely people that don't believe that something one did as a teenager should stick permanently with that person, and are not thinking about the fact that it would mean he committed perjury.

If her account was proven to be true, the fact that he committed perjury is what would disqualify him for me. If after she came out and he admitted to it and said that he had made a mistake when he was young and that it doesn't represent the person he is today and that he is genuinely sorry, then I wouldn't have took issue with it as that is not currently relevant to the person he is today and the position he is taking on.

Thats a lie. You liberals are simply incapable of honesty at this point.

Yeah, thats kinda the issue now. Hes denied it under oath, so even if he could somehow get a pass for what he did in High School, he wouldnt be able to escape that he gave false testimony as an adult.

The Republicans stand for nothing except Republican Party power.

Nor should he, if he committed perjury then he should be punished accordingly, like John Brennan....oh wait.... :p

The Democrats actually do stand for things.... Most of things you probably take for granted, from the 40 hour work week to social security are Democratic ideas...

Other than tax cuts and military spending, the Republicans have not had an original policy idea in over 100 years.

It is no wonder democrats hate Kavanaugh for his conservative record, while loving Bill Clinton and other dirty democrats with sex crime records.

Merely paying for sex does not make you a bad person.
It makes you a single sailor on liberty with only four or five days before you put to sea again for a month or more.
Sometimes much more.
Get your facts straight.

Nor does the ladies selling it make them bad people either.
They are just doing what they have to do under the circumstances.
Every place in the world is different.
The Puritans only landed here in the US after getting kicked out of other places....for good reason.

Don't judge.

I DO, however, agree with you about everything else you said.
