What, reformed Democrats? I am encouraged that all these accusations seem to have occurred when he was younger, single, and with the other party. Marriage and the GOP seem to have helped him.He wants men like Moore in Congress,
I mistrusted him before these allegations came out.
Let me preface this by saying that I practiced law in Alabama for 30 years and that I appeared before Judge Roy. I wrote another answer on this, but in sum he forced Bill Pryor, the Attorney General at the time, to prosecute him before the Alabama Court of the Judiciary for failing to move his Ten Commandments rock. Judge Pryor did his duty without flinching, but in my opinion it cost him his political career in Alabama and I think that’s why President Bush appointed Judge Pryor to the U.S. Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals. That took guts on Judge Pryor’s part.
On the other hand Judge Roy could have resigned and spared Judge Pryor this grief. Did he spare Judge Pryor? Nope. Some big Christian, huh? Nope. In my world a compassionate man would not have done that to Judge Pryor, but a regular old, run of the mill Alabama political opportunist definitely would. So after that I figured he was just another regular old run of the mill Alabama political opportunist suckering in the multitudes of evangelicals with God talk. They eat that stuff up, and don’t ask too many questions. Some might call ’em easy marks, same way George Wallace suckered in racists so he could use power to get and give political favors.
Politics in Alabama is about getting and giving favors. George Wallace exploited racism to get himself elected so he could get and give favors. In my view Judge Roy is exploiting religion in the same way.
These recent sexual allegations are consistent with a powerful man trying to use his power to get laid. Sounds consistent with what I already thought about Judge Roy.
I remember seeing some separate threads. I didn’t know they had been consolidated. But in either case I think Moore is more of a person of special interest since the outcome of this election will have a persisting influence on policy and our lives.Why is it that the other politician/Hollywood scandal threads were consolidated except for the one on Ray Moore?
Only if they are falseIf individuals go too much further with these assertions, they could be open to personal lawsuits for slander or worse.
Someone who knows it is wrong to sexually exploit young girls.For many years and to the present date, Roy Moore has been and is a bible quoting pro-life Republican.
His opponent is a pro-abortion Democrat.
So, who do you want in Congress?
Living in fear and shame. Until you have personally experienced being sexually violated by someone in power, do not casually assume what you would do in their shoes.It has been 40 years since the alleged offenses took place; where have his accusers been hiding for 40 years?
Ad hominem attack.The other ‘accuser’ is a convicted drug addict, serial sex harassment accuser, thief of taxpayer subsidized programs, bank fraud conviction, and several divorces.
There is a difference between being creepy and breaking the law.Maybe we can let Paul Shanley out of jail. When did he molest boys, the '70’s? I’m sure he hasn’t molested anyone for a while.
Right and Wrong are dependent on political party. A molester is a fine candidate as long as he’s a republican.
He sought out a vulnerable young woman whose parents were divorced. She told various people during the course of her lifetime.
He’s also accused of sexual assault which is against the law. The fact that he liked 15 year olds lends some credence to those claims. Of course, Monte is playing blame the victim while at the same time questioning why they wouldn’t have come out sooner (hint: it’s because people blame the victim).There is a difference between being creepy and breaking the law.
Flirting and going on dates with underage girls is very creepy, but not illegal in and of itself.
