The Politics of Dr. Ford

Have we heard anything about Dr. Ford's political leanings?. Seems to me that if she was actively involved in liberal activities the republican assholes would be trying to smear her with that fact. If she's a registered republican and Grassley and his minions go after her couldn't that be used to reach more republican women after they try and trash her?. Bring it home that republican politicians hate ALL women, even their own.

I was thinking about how the Republicans personally attack people for their politics, regardless of the relevance.

FFS they even tried to frame an innocent man with the whole doppelganger fiasco.

We increasingly live in a world of "it doesn't matter until it affects me" attitude.
