You believe that is "genuine"? Seems like politics by those who play the game. Ya, the system works....


I know her, and yes, I believe that is genuine.

Is it a huge surprise to learn that accuser Sarah Walker is most recently a lobbyist for the Everytown For Gun Safety Action Fund?

Actually, she's been a lobbyist for Everytown for years - that's a re-registration due to a legal entity change. It's not recent.

Only since 2013, and the encounter in question happened in 2010. Making it look an awful lot like she didn't want to report Mr. Cornish when she needed something from him, but was prepared to do so when it suited the interest of her client. I don't know if that is the case, but to me that is how it looks.

If any of you don't think the Cornish allegations were driven by the anti-gun crowd you're nuts. This is entirely an accusation of convenience, taking advantage of the current climate of this topic to secure a political victory. As for why it worked, there must have been some type of relationship involved back in 2010, probably with text messages or pictures being sent, that was going to be the leverage for a 'lawsuit'. So, while there may have been something to the situation, it was brought up now for politics. If it was personally important to this lobbyist she would have done something back in 2010.

Regarding Franken and Ellison. What makes you think Ellison would be any less electable than Franken was? Both are s***bags. And both are liberal wet dreams. I doubt the numbers have changed so the election would go the same way it did before for Spankenberry.

This should be made public and the media should be digging into this. How do we help that happen?

It doesn't really overshadow the fact that Cornish is a d bag for what he allegedly did, which since he's not fighting it he must have.

Respectfully, I disagree that this was driven by the anti-gun crowd. If it had been, I'd be the first person screaming about it.

They gain nothing w/ Cornish's ouster - the new incoming Chairman/Chairwoman will be a pro-gun rights Republican. Cornish will be replaced in his seat in the chamber through a special election by a pro-gun rights Republican.

We stand a good chance of replacing the anti-gun Schoen with a pro-gun rights candidate as well.

This has now become the Zero Tolerance school expulsion for a plastic butter knife of the adult world. Any accusation of impropriety, no matter how slight or long ago, is not only worthy of reprimand, but immediate termination. Reap what you sow, you condescending elites.

A woman has been taken out in Kansas for sexual harassment.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2017/12/kansas-dem-is-first-female-political-casualty-of-reckoning.html

As rumors continue to swirl of investigations that might expose sexual-misconduct allegations against dozens of members of Congress, one of the questions we’ve all wondered about is when we’d have the first case of a congresswoman being accused of harassment or other bad behavior.

That still hasn’t happened yet, but today a candidate for Congress in Kansas withdrew from a credible challenge against a Republican incumbent because of a 2005 claim by an employee that she fired him because he refused to have sex with her. The Kansas City Star broke the story:

Andrea Ramsey, a Democratic candidate for Congress, will drop out of the race after the Kansas City Star asked her about accusations in a 2005 lawsuit that she sexually harassed and retaliated against a male subordinate who said he had rejected her advances.



Multiple sources with knowledge of the case told The Star that the man reached a settlement with LabOne, the company where Ramsey was executive vice president of human resources. Court documents show that the man, Gary Funkhouser, and LabOne agreed to dismiss the case permanently after mediation in 2006.


Ramsey subsequently released an open letter denying the allegations categorically, and blaming the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee for pushing her out of the race. But she expressed support for the continuing effort to uncover sexual misconduct in politics and elsewhere, and basically treated her candidacy as an unjust, collateral victim of a just war:

In its rush to claim the high ground in our roiling national conversation about harassment, the Democratic Party has implemented a zero tolerance standard. For me, that means a vindictive, terminated employee’s false allegations are enough for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) to decide not to support our promising campaign….

On balance, it is far more important to me that women are stepping forward to tell their stories and confront their harassers than it is to continue our campaign.

Ramsey went on to complain that her misfortune may have denied the voters of the Third Congressional District of Kansas a better congressman than Republican Kevin Yoder. And she’s probably not the only one who thinks so. In an early analysis of the race, the Cook Political Report’s David Wasserman called Ramsey “probably the stronger of the two” Democrats in the race against the “highly vulnerable” Yoder.

We’ll never know how she would have done next November. But she will probably be relieved when she’s no longer alone as a female political casualty of the Reckoning.
