Womp womp
“I just wish more people could just have the decency to express their troubles and concerns and then do nothing like I do,” she added.
Senator, how do you think Blasey Ford feels? She’s on the receiving end of more anger than you.
I am a Mainer. First she said no one was calling so we must not care (LIE), then the next week it was we were a bunch of vile and despicable callers threatening her. Another LIE. Then we’re a bunch of illegal conspirators because we have the gall to donate $20 to her opponent next campaign.
She just doesn’t want to hear from the majority of her constituents who oppose her views on this and the tax bill (and pretty much everything else). That’s okay – she’s tanked her approval ratings and will never recover from this. She’s done in 2020 – either retires or is voted out.
I sure hope you’re right.
BOO Fucking HOO
It’s time for Collins to grow a set and “woman-up” like Dr. Blasey.
The only people that hate women more than Republican men are Republican women.
Did I miss it or was this article of no value as it does not say from which side of the argument did the inappropriate calls come from?
You reap what you sow.
It has been a bit chilly up here the last couple of days. Perhaps she has a case of brain freeze going on. Seems to be reoccurring problem for her through the years.
She has been calling out Democrats specifically recently, which is new for her. Last election (2014) she got 37% of the progressive vote (probably even more of the whole Democrat category). She’s either pretty stupid, or just unable to shut her trap at this point. Or both! Just astonishing how hellbent she is on destroying the coalition of Democrats and moderates who have elected her repeatedly.
Perhaps if you were totally honest, Senator, and upfront with your intentions. Pretending to be a moderate and a voice of reason–when you are neither–really does rub others the wrong way, ya know?
Borrowing yet another page from from the trump playbook, Collins asserts that she and her office are the real victims
I bet they’re nowhere near as ugly as the messages Blasey Ford has been receiving.
The Ballad of Anita Hill.
Second verse: Same as the first.
A whole lot louder and a whole lot worse.
Collins is an active participant in the attack on Professor Ford. Her complaints harmonize precisely with the Grassley 12.
Suzie, now imagine if you didn’t have a staff to shield you or the power inherent to a U.S. Senator. THAT is what Prof. Blasey Ford is facing. Maybe then you would grow a spine and stand up for her, but given your track record of “moderate” talk followed by a cave in…well, not holding my breath.
Also a Mainer, second congressional district. People, moderates and liberals alike, around me who have voted for her in the past will never vote for her again. She’ll get the Republican vote, sure, but everyone else is done with her.
Well you know, people always want to try to make that as one of those things, well how do you, how do you slice this particularly tough sort of ethical question. First of all, from what I understand from doctors, that’s really rare. If it’s a legitimate groping, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down.
So fool us FOUR times, shame on us??
