I could molest a 13 year old on the capital steps and they would still vote for me!

I could hear Moore saying this and it seems to be true. When you hear what his followers are saying on the boob tube, you wonder if they have a brain left amongst the whole of them. Even McConnell is saying for him to back out, but he won't. He knows that even if he molested a 13 year old on the capital steps that his followers will vote for him rather than any Dem.

Disgusting, isn't it.

Apparently some of them support him even more now. Because spiting "the enemy" is more important than anything else, it seems.
 
Hmmm...interesting. :think:

A way to get someone to stop running for office by alleging something "naughty" happened decades before, with no evidence but an accuser's naked word, and the "believe the 'victim'" crowd demands the candidate step down (and let their favored Party candidate get the seat virtually unopposed).

No questions about the accuser's (or multiple accusers) motivations for waiting all those years, ignoring past political elections, and with no actual evidence the allegations are true.

I wonder why the accused would dare to keep running, and people would still dare to support him on such damning "evidence."

How disgusting! :roll:

I’m with you. I’m sick of these years old accusations that ruin people’s lives.

Edit... and since when did DP become, “Here, let me make up something somebody cmight say and damn everyone else for how they might react to it?”

It's a wonderful tool. Very similar to Salem witches and all that, in fact. Powerful till the crowd looses interest.

We get those threads all the time from the right. I guess those are ok though.
 
Yet, to this day, Bill Clinton is model for the modern Leftist. (i. e. the party of sexual deviancy)

You do have to wonder why these allegations are surfacing now, don't you? How did the Washington Post just so happen to discover an event that occurred in 1979, and publish it 2 months before election time?

Suggestion, when making such lewd and disgusting statements, you should put them in quotes unless you are admitting to something here.

My mother just recently admitted that she was repeatedly raped, starting at 8 years old, by her older sister's husband. She is not a liar either. I wonder if you realize that some crimes never get reported because the attitude you display here is so prevalent.

Conservative christians are a sexual predator's best friend. How shameful that you and others would protect the image of your party and faith at the expense of women and girls.

It's those like you that enable predators to hide amongst the flock.

I️ recommend you Google ‘Denny Hastert, Speaker of the House and wrestling coach’ and let us know what you think.

Could it be because Moore is running for national office and is getting more press attention?

Getting 30 interviews on the record is time consuming and costly, and probably not a story the Alabama papers would have the resources to pursue.

And now it looks like another allegation has surfaced- this time with a 16 year old.

But Roy was clear he always asked their Moms for permission, so I’m sure it’s OK with the base.

What's shameful is what you've said here. I don't believe for an instant that Maggie would protect a political party or denomination or, actually, anybody guilty of preying on women and girls.

The allegations against Moore do not include rape. 3 of the girls involved were of consensual age, and said they were willing participants. Also, there was no actual sex involved, just kissing and petting.

That's dishonest even for a progressive. Either you didn't live through the Clinton years or are as much of an enabler who 'would protect the image of your party and faith at the expense of women and girls.' Clinton had numerous accusations of everything from sexual harassment, to sexual assault to outright rape and the left defended him and even re-elected him. So spare me your phony outrage.

Which dossier was this stored in until it could finally be used as a political weapon?

Do you have a link to that?

I'm not making a judgment about whether Moore should drop out or not. He's not going to be charged with a crime, and there is therefore no legal basis to require him to drop out, which means it's a political decision.

But the idea that there is no "evidence" is kind of troublesome. What kind of evidence can there be in this case or cases like it other than the person's word and contemporary accounts of her sharing her experience with others?

Yup, Bill Clinton 20 years ago, therefore nobody has any standards anymore. Unless every modern day democrat can build a time machine and not vote for Bill Clinton, they have to issue a blank check to every and any politician to do as they like until the end of time.

My response has absolutely nothing to do with politics. Absolutely nothing. And what conservative Christians have to do with this is beyond me. I’m not going to respond re your mom other than to say my comments explicitly excluded children later claiming sexual abuse when they become adults. If that happened to your mom, my heart goes out to her. Period.

A thirty-five-year old claiming she was sexually assaulted at age 27 simply doesn’t fly with me unless that person is mentally impaired. IMO, within every such accusation lies the distinct possibility that the accusation is either false or misrepresented. In our society, once the accusation is made, it is up to the accused to disprove it. That is wrong.
