Too bad Mike Dukakis did not exhibit emotions like Judge Kavanaugh showed us

Full disclosure: Mike Dukakis is the last Democrat I voted for. I left the party after hearing Sen Hillary tell Gen. Petraeus she doubted his honesty, that it required a willing "suspension of disbelief". Explained in the right sidebar of the Tunnel Wall. The Tunnel Dweller

SOUNDS THAT BITE: Dukakis' Deadly Response

"Massachusetts Governor Mike Dukakis didn't exactly charm his way into voters' hearts during the 1988 debates with his response about whether he would support the death penalty should his wife, Kitty, be raped and murdered. A longtime opponent of the death penalty, Dukakis responded to the startling question from CNN's Bernard Shaw, "No, I don't, Bernard, and I think you know that I've opposed the death penalty during all of my life. I don't see any evidence that it's a deterrent and I think there are better and more effective ways to deal with violent crime." While some criticized the fairness of the question, to viewers the answer seemed both dispassionate and dismissive." . . .

The Benevolent Technocrat:  . . . "An analysis of the questions and answers that Dukakis gave showed that the image he was trying to project, that of a benevolent technocrat, was disastrous. He showed no emotion and feeling, he did not muster outrage at the hypothetical rape and murder of his wife, and he was unable to portray himself as a leader. "  . . .
Too bad Mike Dukakis didn't show the emotion that Judge Kavanaugh showed over the treatment of him and his family.

Brett Kavanaugh Is A Better Human Being Than Senate Dems, So He Must Be Destroyed
. . . "Brett Kavanaugh is a boy scout compared to the people judging him on the Senate Judiciary committee. That might make some Republicans squirm slightly but they can deal with that. The Democrats flat out can’t stand that and they need to flat out humiliate and destroy him.

"So when a person with such outstanding personal qualities is being treated like this by Senators who lauded colleagues such as Ted Kennedy, Al Franken and Bill Clinton, you have to take a step back and wonder what in the hell is going on.

"I believe they have to destroy anyone who is everything they demand in a person but don’t really want on the court unless they worship the 1973 Roe v Wade decision.

"We can’t let them win."
