Proud Tiger 4,261 Posted September 20, 2018 Share Posted September 20, 2018 It will be more than interesting to see how the Dems handle/rationalize this in light of their current circus in the Ford case accusing Kavanaugh. It sure looks like Monohan has a much stronger case than Ford. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/20/keith-ellison-domestic-violence-accuser-posts-2017-medical-document-identifying-democrat-as-abuser.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Democrats would like to posture as the anti-corruption, transparency party they must deal with the bad acts of their members honestly. If Ellison is guilty of the allegations and he becomes a casualty of his former misdeeds so be it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not surprising since it doesn't fit his narrative. You seem to be the one that's lost. Go back and re-read. Texas responded to your original post about Ellison and you responded by asking if he should be allowed to vote. So I pointed out that Congressman Ellison doesn't get to vote on SCOTUS nominees. You are the one confused, not him, not me. Probably because you didn't bother to read which of your posts he was replying to before shooting off at the keyboard. Then you posted this story about Booker. So I asked a reasonable question. I can't believe that you're serious that a guy who was 15 years old himself, gropes another 15-year old during a make-out session, she stops him and he doesn't push it further, AND he's admitting it himself eight years after the fact back in 1992 rather than it coming out later and denying it, should recuse himself from voting. It's flat out the one of the dumbest things I've seen you post in a while and makes me question whether you should have any access to discussing political matters here at all. You are truly the undisputed king of false equivalencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is much more respectable than becoming defensive whenever a poorly chosen position is shown to be such. I think you should check out some Sam Harris. One of the early lines he uses in his "Waking Up" podcast is something to the effect of "I don't want to be incorrect in my positions any longer than I must, so please if you have a better, more rational position educate me."

I certainly try to admit when I'm wrong. Please tell me what I was wrong about in this thread. I may have confused the discussion since Ellison and Booker were in the thread. As far as Booker, I made a post and asked a question. One can disagree with my opinion without me being wrong. Please read thru the thread again. I caused confusion but what am I supposed to admit being wrong about? Do you agree with Titan's tirade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
