Susan Collins: one rational female voice in the political Senate wilderness

Posted on by

Senator Susan Collins at podium, with Republican Senators Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia and Cindy Hyde-Smith of Mississippi sitting behind. They too were a “yes” on Judge Brett Kavanaugh. 

And I certainly never thought I’d write that but, after all, these are the times of Kabuki Theater, lies, betrayal, backstabbing politics, abject character assassinations and the reversal of most everything people commonly knew as “good.” Here is but one example, embraced lovingly by the Demorats. It’d be laughable — which it actually is — if it weren’t true.

Also note that Senator Collins had to wade through all this extraneous flotsam in order to get to the chambers.

Nothing like being tracked down, hounded, followed and stalked. Nah. Nothing creepy or fraught with potential violence there.

And yet, Republican Senator Susan Collins managed to proffer this to the Senate. Something that should have been embraced by every other clear thinking Senator because, damn her, she managed to eschew simple emotion and embrace the law.

One brave woman. Who received these immediate threats for displaying a grasp of logic, proportion, facts, history, common sense and rationality.

This is a fraction of what Susan Collins faced thereafter.

Not so brave? In fact, a miserable, duplicitous wretch? Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, who caved following this physical bracing by Diane Feinstein in the halls, caught by cell phone camera. Note the posturing and body language inherent in the shot. This is a power pose like no other, meant to do nothing more than belittle, frighten, humiliate and, mostly, intimidate. As in “you’d better stand with the women or we’ll make your life a living hell.” Murkowski, of course, caved #BecauseWomen.

Feinstein is invading Murkowski’s personal space. She has backed Murkowski up against a wall. Another naked display of power is the placing of Feinstein’s left arm, upraised, against a wall. An upraised arm is a signifier of potential power as in “I could easily bring this down on top of you.” This is primeval but very clear.

What do you think would be the reaction from the LDAMM, the Leftists, Demorats and American Media Maggots if, say, a man were to position himself in this fashion, publicly, against a female? Answer: bedlam, unbrage, protests, calls for a public hanging.

On the other hand, couldn’t one say that Feinstein appears to be Skeletor’s grandmother? She’s likely 95-cents, dripping wet. Ew, sorry. Brainworm. Bad visual. Apologies.

Ask yourself, however, if you have seen that stance, by a Demorat, in politics before. Right. Demorat Lyndon Baines Johnson — who was 6’4″ tall — and used it to intimidate whenever possible.

By the way Lisa, heads-up: from GatewayPundit.com:

Sarah Palin Fires Warning Shot: Strongly Hints at Senate Run Against Lisa Murkowski

by Kristinn Taylor

Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin strongly hinted at a challenge to Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) when Murkowski is next up for reelection in 2022. Murkowski, a three term incumbent, is undecided on the nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court, but gave several indications Friday that she will vote no.

Palin and Murkowski are longtime political foes. Plain defeated her father Gov. Frank Murkowski in 2006 in the GOP primary, thwarting his reelection bid. Palin successfully endorsed GOP challenger Joe Miller who defeated incumbent Sen. Lisa Murkowski in the 2010 primary. Murkowski then controversially ran as a write-in candidate, winning reelection over Miller in the general election.

Interesting point:

Wikipedia notes Murkowski, who initially was appointed to the Senate in 2002 by her father Frank Murkowski when he left the Senate after being elected Alaska governor, has never won a majority of the vote in the general election.

Murkowski needs to be removed because she’s simply anti-American. And a sexist. She believes that men are guilty until proven innocent.

Then there were the protesters. Tell me you don’t think either one of these videos illustrates brainless, uninspired walking dead Leftists. Example 1:

Example 2:

But wait, there’s more. A picture is frequently worth a thousand words.

You’re welcome.
