Did Roy Moore sexually molest a 14 year old?

Yes

No

Unsure

To put this so called Democratic conspiracy together over 30 people would have to lie.

Let’s now examine all the things that fellows like Moore and Bannon must, perforce, believe in order to make a straight-faced assertion that the story was, indeed, a “desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post.”

You must believe that Stephanie McCrummen, a national enterprise reporter for The Post and the lead byline on the story, traveled twice to Alabama just to dig up the story. In an interview Thursday with the Erik Wemple Blog, McCrummen said that the tip for the story emerged from an hours-long conversation. “It was a random encounter with someone,” she said. That “someone,” you have to believe, was a Democratic operative.
You must believe that the central subject in the story, Corfman, is driven by party imperatives. The story describes her as follows: “Corfman, 53, who works as a customer service representative at a payday loan business, says she has voted for Republicans in the past three presidential elections, including for Donald Trump in 2016.” She described her experience consistently in six interviews, notes the story. None of the women has worked for or contributed to Moore’s opponents in his quest for the Senate seat.
You must believe that Nancy Wells, Corfman’s 71-year-old mother, is in on it. She is quoted as corroborating a scenario in which Moore approached Corfman and sought to stay with the 14-year-old while Wells went to a court hearing in Etowah County, Ala. Don’t forget Betsy Davis, now living in Los Angeles, who “says she clearly remembers Corfman talking about seeing an older man named Roy Moore when they were teenagers.”
You must believe that Wendy Miller, Debbie Wesson Gibson and Gloria Thacker Deason — the other women who say they were approached for dates by Moore — were down with Democratic propaganda.
You must believe that the more than 30 people interviewed for the story were as well.
 
Understanding that at least one of these women the so-called journalists are claiming as a victim was 17 and thus over the AOC and thus is not even a minor victim.........yes.

Now let the voters decide if they care or not.

One was 14. That is under the age of consent.
 
While the evidence looks bad, the timing is suspicious. Also I've yet to see proof positive of actual illegal acts on Moore's part.

I am unsure of his culpability and will await more information before deciding to throw him to the wolves.

Over 30 people would all need to lie, and keep that lie together under immense social /public/family /friends /workplace pressure.

Yes, but what happened according to her was so minor, and so long ago, that I barely care even had this not been brought to my attention as part of a political move to sink a guy.

He-said/she-said cases are always the worst to try to prove...but when enough women make the claim, then perception becomes reality. And really, when it comes to sexual abuse, that's often the only way that a measure of justice can be had by the women. Just ask the victims of Weinstein. And even then, it's not a sure thing - just ask the sixteen women who have accused Trump.

Allow me a page from the Republican playbook of "But Hillary...":

I remember when all the conservatives/Republicans were saying "the timing is suspicious" about Hillary's e-mails too. Or...maybe I don't...



Also, I don't think the timing is suspicious at all. His accuser first came forward during the time of #MeToo and did so against a person who is currently seeking a position of national power. The timing isn't suspicious at all, it's actually quite understandable. Wouldn't you agree?

The justice system is the wrong tool for this job for exactly that reason, there is no way for us to know what really happened, we are only guessing. THe solution is for women to defy the feminists and take matters into their own hands, to refuse to be victims in the first place by telling the guy no forcefully, if he keeps going push him off and kick him in the balls, and if he still is able to overpower them then scream to whom ever they can as soon as they can, like their Grandmothers did.

The victim culture advocates encouraging victimization because they need a steady flow of new victims to mind has to end.

I'll wait for more proof than hearsay thanks. 30 liars are not hard that hard to find, and the timing is very suspicious.

Awesome solution, comrade.

Let's blame the victims for allowing themselves to be victims and accuse them of not fighting back in the middle of an incredibly intense moment of stress against someone who very well may be twice their age and size. Let's ignore all the thoughts and self-doubts which go through their head and ignore the very real threat of physical assault. Let's ignore age and power issues, ignore body issues, ignore the fact that 14 year olds are not emotionally, physically or mentally fully developed.

Let's ignore all of that. Let's blame those victims! Great idea.

Also, their grandmothers didn't scream to whomever either, so don't start injecting even more falsehoods into this discussion.

If Moore drops out, or loses, we'll never hear about it again, which will bring the accusation into serious question.

I dont want there to be victims, anyone who becomes a victim by way of their own neglect of themselves I blame, yes of course.

Yes, back in the day young girls were taught how to handle themselves around horny males, screaming was often part of the plan.
 
The probability that all of Moore's accusers is very, very slim. Considering how severe the backlash against them will be, they have no reason to lie.

Moore is a pedophile. In addition to his being a religious nut, a man who believes he is above the law, etc.
 
I don't feel like voting because I don't know the answer. I believe the stories that are going around, and the timing makes sense to me. Right now everybody is getting called out. The Weinstein story really started a fire.

I don't know. I am pretty sure that when it comes to putting someone in power or keeping them out of power it wouldn't be that hard to find 30 people to lie. Plus I think if there was any truth to these allegations then they would have came out sooner, not right before an election.
 
I dont want there to be victims
Neither do I, but unlike you I'm not going to blame the victims for being victims.

anyone who becomes a victim by way of their own neglect of themselves I blame, yes of course.
So if someone were to walk up to you and shoot you in the head, we should blame you for dying?

Yes, back in the day young girls were taught how to handle themselves around horny males, screaming was often part of the plan.
You're posting falsehoods. There have been many women over the years who have been sexually assaulted and not only were they not expected to scream, they were also expected not to ever speak about it.

Either you don't know what you're talking about (what I consider most likely) or you're deliberately posting falsehoods. Either way, you're wrong.

So you're saying you don't believe those women who accused Weinstein of sexual assault?

There is so much wrong with this post I don't even know where to begin.

First of all, the responsibility for rape and molestation lies squarely on the shoulders of the aggressor. Not the victim. Especially if she is a minor. Apparently some people don't get that.

Second, rape and sexual assault are not acts of sex, but power. The goal is to dominate the victim without her or his consent.

Third, in the middle of the attack, victims are often paralyzed with fear and say or do nothing to try to break free. Having personally heard some stories from rape survivors is how I know this.

Right. No chance in hell that a political party or two would have willing participants to do just that.:doh

I have never jumped on the he's guilty band wagon. I don't know those women. I also don't see anyone benefiting if his movies are being made or not. Allegations from 20,30 or 40 years ago that can't be proven or dis-proven don't mean squat.

But you're saying it's a very real possibility all those women who accused Weinstein of assault are lying, right? Because if they weren't lying, they would have said something years ago, correct?
 
If the people of Alabama haven’t rejected the Hon. Judge Moore, by this point, is Mitt Romney or the Washington Post going to change their minds at this point? I have heard reports of voters in Alabama saying that it makes no difference to them, they will vote the judge into the Senate regardless.

The allegations are thin and the timing is suspect. Who knows, given the resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave, will anyone be shocked to wake up 13DEC to Senator elect Moore?

From your site:
"You must believe that Wendy Miller, Debbie Wesson Gibson and Gloria Thacker Deason — the other women who say they were approached for dates by Moore — were down with Democratic propaganda. You must believe that the more than 30 people interviewed for the story were as well."
The other woman who say they were approached for dates. Sense when can you not ask a girl out on a date for Christ sake.

That statement alone is so bogus and misleading, no wonder people call this Fake News.
 
Voted Unsure.

But from the stories coming in and the sources, and the fact that he's a Neanderthal in his ****ty ability to view other humans' status realistically in our society, I'm leaning towards yes.
