For years we’ve heard all about the republican war on women. It pales in comparison to what democrats are now doing to women.
The democrats are now taking the pain, the shame, and the horrid memories I have of a lifetime of abuse and weaponized it for their own political gain.
How dare they.
Senator Diane Feinstein (D-CA) withheld, on purpose, an allegation of sexual abuse against a person she and all the other democrats vowed they would fight to the end. She and all other democratic women and all the male democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee vowed from day one, actually before day one, that they would do everything they could to stop any Supreme Court nominee no matter who it was.
It didn’t matter if it was female or male. The democrats vowed to bring the nominee down and destroy him/her/it/she/he/who cares.
The democrats have weaponized my personal pain and reduced it to nothing more than a blip on their way to whatever their political goal is.
The party, who for years has touted their being as the party for women and against the party that destroys women, has now taken upon themselves to destroy whichever women they can bring out of the hinterlands, in the name of blocking a person’s nomination to the Supreme Court.
Ah, you say. The Supreme Court nominee isn’t a woman. You’re right. I wasn’t speaking to the high court nominee. The person the democrats are destroying is in fact the female accuser(s). Think about that.
Interestingly, they aren’t so ready to do that with their own men who have actual evidence of alleged or proved abuse against him. If you are a democrat can you dare say the name Keith Ellison? If you’re a democrat can you dare say Ted Kennedy and Chappaquiddick in the same sentence? If you’re a democrat can you dare say the names Harvey Weinstein and Kristin Gillibrand together?
Feinstein held on to information for two months that she knew she was going to use to throw the entire political system into a maelstrom. And, she did it on purpose. At the very last minute. Not to help the abused but to score political gain.
How does that help women?
Feinstein, and other democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee, held the most personal, most damaging, charge a person can make against another person until after a fair hearing could be conducted, all the while knowing the individual (the abused not the abuser) would be further damaged emotionally, psychologically, perhaps even physically, when the story came out.
Talk about weaponizing sexual allegations and women!
But the democrats don’t care if the allegations are true. If they did care about truth, if they really wanted a fair investigation, Feinstein would have brought it up two months ago. No, her answer now is, ‘let’s delay this and delay this and delay…’ All the while holding a woman hostage to the democrats’ shenanigans.
Feinstein and the female democratic senators from Hawaii and New York and …wherever else, don’t give a damn about the woman (women) who is (are) accusing a Supreme Court Justice nominee of sexual abuse. The democratic women only care about their political ambitions. Feinstein, in particular, is in a close race for her seat – not by a republican, but by a democrat.
If Feinstein and the other female and male democrats really cared about me as a woman, she and the others never would have made the current situation such a political circus.
But she and the other democrats don’t really care about me. They care about getting re-elected.
Period. End of story.
I, and all other women, am just a pawn in their game.
I intentionally didn’t use the name of the current Supreme Court Justice nominee because it doesn’t matter who the individual is. Throw the name Betsy Jones, Sally Smith, Judy Walker in there. It wouldn’t make a difference. All that matters to the democrats is delaying, preventing, winning.
I have survived a lifetime of sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse from men. I didn’t win my war because some politician said she was on my side. I won the war because I believed in myself.
I find it extremely offensive that the democrats, especially democratic women, now want to use my pain, my horrid experiences, my lifetime of recovery to politicize their run for the power.
All the democrats want to do now is make women a part of the same beaten down, ‘you-can’t do this-on-your own-class that they have done to so many others. “You need me to win your battles,” the democrats say.
No. I don’t.
I need me and I need my higher up. Whomever I want that to be.
The female senator from Hawaii went on national television and said to the effect – these men (republicans) are not protecting us.
That’s when my head twirled a good 360 degrees.
Wait, wait, wait a minute. Here you democratic women are trying to tell me that I don’t need a man to tell me how to vote, and if I listen to my father, husband, brother, boss, telling me how to vote (that would be Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama) – well, see, there’s the problem with you damn women who think you can think for yourself.
I rarely ever listened to my father, I don’t listen to my brother about anything, I haven’t had a boss is 25 years, and my husband died four years ago. Now what is my excuse for thinking on my own?
And then, the same democratic women turn around and tell me that as a woman I need a man to “protect” me.
Didn’t you democratic women just tell me that men are the problem?
And then you turn around and tell me that I need a man to protect me?
Jeezo, peezo.
I guess that’s the way the democratic war on women works.
We know you hate Democats. How do you feel about Kavanaugh? How did you feel about Thomas? How do you feel about Trump? Especially Trump. He has admitted to sexually abusing women. Trump has attacked the accusers. Do you think that is fair? Do you think it is OK to gang rape a woman at a college party? Do you really think a woman would put her self through hell just to help a political party defeat a candidate for the Supreme Court? Did you believe Anita Hill? Do you believe her now? Does it even matter that a Supreme Court Justice has no respect for women? Yes, we know you hate Democrats. Please tell us what you really think about Trump, an admitted abuser. We are waiting.
David Petrillo, exactly who are we? Are you speaking for others out of turn? Again? No one has proven that she was gang raped at a party, nor has she even said she was. At best, she has made an unsubstantiated claim that she was molested by 2 high school boys, even though she was older and in college. She admits she knew these things were happening at the house parties she was attending, yet she kept going. To high school parties, with juveniles who were drinking. Pretty bad idea.
No one has proven he was even there, much less that he has or had no respect for women. His life everyday as an adult has proven otherwise. Do I think a woman would put herself through hell to help the Democrats defeat a candidate for the supreme court? Yes, I absolutely do.
Do you want to know what I think of Trump? I think he is an extremely intelligent businessman who made the type of stupid mistakes most rich and powerful men in our free society tend to make. Look in the closets of any person of his generation who acquired his wealth and position and you will find most all got caught up in a privileged lifestyle that you and I can only imagine. He made a lot of bad decisions about his lifestyle before entering office. He has always admitted to them and moved on to try and become a better man. Personally I think he is improving himself everyday.
On the other hand, against amazing odds including a probable collusion against him, he was elected president. And as president for merely two years has done more good for this country than his last 4-5 predecessors combined. That’s a fact that I simply will not debate with you.
I am sorry your party held all the aces is the election and still lost. I am sorry that you are an extremely bitter man who can not accept that fact. I am sorry that because people like Trump make mistakes in their lives that you can never see any good in them.
Over the past 3 decades Judge Kavanaugh has been investigated 6 times by the FBI. One more FBI investigation won’t change the out come Democrats are hoping for.
Great points Steve! I agree with you, except that I am not sorry!
EXACTLY.
How could ANYONE in their right mind believe anything this actor said?
What P.H.D. talks like a little girl testifying. (maybe since she is a supposed doctor) and act like a little girl posing in front of the camera. She wanted to be Anonymous right?
Haven’t seen a Doctors license yet from Calif have you. That is perjury.
Dig a little deeper on this party girl (in more ways than one) and get back to me.
Does she look 51 to you? I’m 63 and don’t look as old as this actor and I have smoked and drank BEER MORE than moderately all my adult life.
I feel for Barb and all the other women of abuse but not this lying …..actor.
Al
Finally Democrats are being exposed for who they are.
Barb, I feel your pain in this letter and I also understand your message here. First, that senator D. Feinstein needs to be investigated along with the one from Hawaii, what a dirty play they conducted at the expense of Dr. Blasey Ford. I believe something happened to her but I don’t believe it was Justice Kavanaugh my opinion only. Something is just not right here, her lawyers being recommended by Feinstein, go fund accounts raising over 700k, fear of flying yet she does it frequently for vacations, her lawyers working for a democratic group? I do agree Al that this child-like behavior and sloppy appearance was staged by Feinstein and Feinstein just used Dr. Ford and her pain for her own benefit, re-election as well as that Hawaiian senator. That whole circus was disgusting against both Dr. Ford and judge Kavanaugh and their families. Feinstein sat on this information and I believe she leaked it out as well..I hope the voters in California call her out! Good letter Barb, thank you
