Don't get Susan Collins' Argument

[jaxind]

Collins said the thought of someone being assumed guilty instead of being assumed innocent first is part of what is making her want to vote FOR Kavanaugh. But that doesn't make sense....we aren't presuming anyone is guilty.... that's why our side was pushing for an FBI investigation....to find out the truth!!

1. Your problem is you are trying to make sense of her bullshit.

That's all it is, it's bullshit. She was always going to vote for him and any excuse she used was to pretend she was considering her vote.

2. He lied under oath and vowed to get revenge on the "left"

This was about his lying under oath (and not just about terms used in his yearbook), impartiality as judge (should be required when deciding cases based upon constitutionality), and temporment.

This was not about whether there was enough evidence to prosecute him for sexual harassment/assault that took place decades ago.

Collins knows this. She does not care. She was given her talking points and did her duty as a good GOP support soldier.

3. It doesn't make sense because it is all bull****. Collins is such a phony. Media needs

to stop falling for her whiny, hand wringing act.

4. It's a twisted excuse

for a hateful and twisted ideology. Collins is no friend of women or any people, really.

5. Why are you wasting your time trying?

She is a fascist just like the rest of her vile, disgusting party. She just loves the attention she gets with her faux indecision on various matters. Each time she does it the nation stops what it is doing and waits breathlessly as Sue emotes her way through another Razzy-worthy performance.

6. "To be clear...."

For clarity, make no mistake
Collins is not voting yes, she is voting HELL YES!!!
The speech she gave should leave no doubt her mind was made up long ago. Any suggestion that she was struggling with her decision should be laid to rest after listening to her talk. Any suggestion she was conflicted in any way is totally and completely blown out of the water.
The speech she gave was one of the strongest endorsements I’ve heard for BK.
This is the character of “moderate” republicans. Lie from the beginning.
Time to send them all home. Every single one of them.

7. And the so-called "investigation" was a complete sham!

We are SO FUCKING SCREWED !!!!!!!!!

9. She's hard right and will vote with the republic party all the time.

She doesn't care. I DO!!

10. Collins need to be voted out

11. It's a GOP thing, you wouldn't understand.
