Seriously - I Don't Know How Any Repug Senator Can Look At Themself In A Mirror.....

and not feel disgusted about themselves. Clearly, Kavanaugh, is not suited to be given a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court. They all know that. They know that this so-called FBI Investigation was a sham just done to provide the cover to vote for confirmation.

They also know that Dr. Ford's testimony was credible and that Kavanaugh lied to their faces under oath.

Yet when you hear McConnell's comments this a.m. - they are making Kavanaugh out to look like a saint that was falsely accused. It never fails to amaze me how such an incident can be molded into whatever story that the Repugs want to foster. How easy it is for them to deceive and lie. And with straight faces.

So - now the Repug Senators have the cover they need to force Kavanaugh down our throats. How sad.

I've said before that there is cover in numbers. So far the spotlight has only been on a few Senators - Flake, Collins, Murkowski - as being the potential Senators that would vote no for Kavanaugh. Now it looks like the Repugs and Trump went out of their way to shape this investigation with results that will make it hard for these Senators to vote no.

Yet - I keep coming back to the fact that - how could any of the Repug Senators look at themselves in the mirror and feel good about what they are doing to this country.

It seems to me if they have any conscious at all that they would ban together - remember there is power in numbers - and do the right thing - and vote no for Kavanaugh.

The Repug Party and Trump couldn't possibly go to war with a large group of Repug Senators that would vote no.

They should all take a lead from John McCain - and vote 'thumbs down' on Kavanaugh. They should put Country before Party and do the right thing.

What kind of example are these Repugs setting for the youth of our nation?
That it is easy to manipulate, lie and cheat in order to get ahead. What happened to our principles?

Maybe they don't have a reflection.

It would explain how monstrous they have been.
