What would you do expect from your pro-abortion friends?

Do you remember the “Women’s March” Vulgarity, par excellence!

I live in Maine and these moonbats are running endless TV ads laying into Collins.

One ad features a former woman soldier who says she served in Iraq to protect freedom, and now the freedom of millions of women is threatened by Donald Trump’s pick to the Supreme Court, blah blah blah. What about the freedom of the unborn children?

Another ad features some annoying woman who said she has two daughters, but when she was younger, she was in an abusive relationship and abortion was the only option for her. Guess she never heard of adoption.

Both of these “women” urge viewers to call Collins and tell her to vote no on Kavanaugh.

Collins is a feminist. But IIRC, she did indicate that she would vote to confirm. Her reelection depends on it, because most of her constituents support the President.

[Pining_4_TX]

In Maine they support Trump? That is surprising.

[I want the USA back]

The left is spending big bucks to defeat a good man. Mostly about abortion, but also because he would rule sensibly, according to law, and not invent laws.

Who’s the dirtbag that donned the hitler mustache — the father of Astroturfing? Smells like him.

[lucky american]

And here Did anyone here pick up the phone and call her office in support of Kavanaugh? We’re screwed.

"In Maine they support Trump? That is surprising."

Oh, no, not the majority, except in the Second Congressional District. But most Republicans who voted in Maine did vote for Trump. See the table here. The at-large vote was fairly close.

Those who voted for Collins for lack of a more conservative candidate will be watching to make sure that she votes for confirming Judge Kavanaugh, and most of them are probably smart enough to see through the hysteria broadcast by Democrats about one feminist issue. As far as I know, he only wrote an opinion against immediate taxpayer funding of an abortion for an illegal alien with the likelihood that a sponsor would take care of it soon afterwards.

It appears from a little reading here and there, that many Maine Republicans do value some of their freedoms and lean more towards strict constructionism in regards to the Constitution.

My guess is that many Republicans in Maine will do as many Republicans across the U.S.A. have done. They'll get the most important votes that they want from Collins (the Kavanaugh confirmation being the #1 priority), or...something that the establishment won't want to happen. ;-D

[Lazamataz]

This is going to backfire.

"And here Did anyone here pick up the phone and call her office in support of Kavanaugh? We’re screwed."

The best point made yet. People in Maine who value freedom should call, write and e-mail Collins to politely and respectfully support the vote for Kavanaugh.

"Both of these “women” urge viewers to call Collins and tell her to vote no on Kavanaugh."

People who value their freedom in Maine should be calling, writing and e-mailing Collins with very respectful and friendly pleas to vote for confirming Kavanaugh. Whatever Republicans in Maine think of Collins, they now need to be the warm, fuzzy, feel-good support of her dreams in contrast to those mean, bad, hurtful Democrats.

It's only good strategy and wisely used psychology. ...time for Republicans and other conservatives to smarten-up and stop being lazy (including me, even though I'm in another state and have little bits of time to contribute here).

[cuban leaf]

What’s relevant is this: Is it those in favor of Kavanaugh, or those against him, that are making these calls and messages?

[Leep]

She means vulgar calls other than the usual ones she gets?

[Leep]

“Collins’s future Democratic opponent”

Kind of hard to tell the difference.

[Chickensoup]

sounds like she is referring to leftists.

I hope that this attempted bribery is referred to federal election oversight.. like who??? FBI LOL

[Buckeye McFrog]

Way to go, Dems. Keepin’ it classy, Alinsky-style.

[Pining_4_TX]

I hope she does the right thing. Fox News has a report that the Dems might be able to delay the proceedings. Is that possible?

[familyop]

Delay enough to prevent the confirmation? Not that I know of.
