Roy Moore

[Aglaopheme]

Falsifying documents is bad.

Kayla Moore, the wife of Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore, took to Facebook on Sunday to post a letter that made it seem like over 50 Alabama clerics were supporting her husband — even though the letter was signed prior to the sex scandal that has rocked his campaign.

That letter appeared to be an edited version of one posted on Moore's website on August 15, but with its top three paragraphs removed. As a result of their removal, readers wouldn't know that its purpose was to encourage voters to support Moore in his primary campaign against Sen. Luther Strange — which occurred prior to the breaking of the sexual assault allegations.

"I was not asked about this story or allegations," Tijuanna Adetunji of the Fresh Anointing House of Worship in Montgomery told AL.com.
That experience was echoed by Pastor Thad Endicott of the Heritage Baptist Church in Opelika, Alabama.
"The list that has recently circulated was evidently copied and pasted from the August endorsements without checking to see if I still endorsed Moore," Endicott told AL.com, adding that he wanted his name to be removed from the list.

Still plagued by reading comprehension I see.

Not at all, pal.

Anyone can see you pathetically attempting to deflect attention away from Moore.

How's that working for you?

Have you ever considered how much you and Moore have in common?

I would agree if the girl had been charged or accused of criminal behavior, but the one Moore met in the courthouse was there for a civil case and was the object of contention rather than a party in the case.

If she was all of fourteen at the time, I seriously doubt that she would have known to make that same distinction. Young girl vs older man in position of authority.

You mean like Clinton and Lewinsky, right?

 

[doowdniw]

He was never a DA.

And an older guy has never inflated his job title to try to impress an impressionable younger girl he was trying to hit on. (An assistant DA is still a DA, just a lower rank).

In most jurisdictions, D.A. is an elective offices and ADA is a civil service employee.

 

[doowdniw]

No, not really. You can distinguish between a 22 year old and a 14 year old, right?

 

[doowdniw]

It is around here. But again, I doubt that most 16 year olds would make the distinction. They're both with the DA's office.

And the ADA's are the boots on the ground prosecuting the vast majority of crimes. The DA generally only gets involved with high profile cases that will make a splash in the papers and in which a conviction is all but assured.

Actually, each state has immensely different laws to address age differences in this regard.

Not really.
There are, of course, a lot of different laws, but they aren't "immensely" different.

They're all in the 16-18 age range, some have age differentials specified for those below a certain age, but that's typically only a very few years difference.
The closest any came to immensely was Virgina were, until early last year I think, a 13 year old girl could get married, without anyone's permission) to a man of any age provided she was pregnant. Thankfully that law was changed recently.

 

[about__aveage]

I am thinking Bill Clinton had serious sexual allegations against him and the mainstream media ignored them dismissed them and referred to them as liars and sluts. Those women have never went away. Then it was Donald Trump's turn and those women have all went away, but we won't let go of their memories.

I don't believe that all of Trump's accusers have gone away. I'm pretty sure I read that some lawsuits are winding their way through the courts.
Don't forget at the time of Clinton's furor Trump said if they were better looking no one would care.

Now we have this Judge Moore enjoying the same tactic and shamefully the members of my party want to convict him without so much as a trial. As I am thinking this, I am also wondering, once the election is over, will we once again be clinging to memories.

A trial for what? the statute of limitation as passed, he can't be charged so no trial.

For a while they'll be around, but I'm sure they will fade except when one of his ardent supporters/defenders is running for office.

Moore will never sit in the Senate. That's when you'd have a trial. He'd likely have to testify under oath in a hearing on the matter to be allowed to sit, and then he's be guilty of perjury if it later came out that there was concrete proof of the accusations.
I doubt he'd risk that.

I don't like the guy, it's all gross, but now I'm really interested in this story.

Whether Moore loses or not, goes to prison or not is inconsequential, but if that yearbook is fake, that's bigger than Roy Moore.

My signatures from 1977 only vaguely look like they do today.

But, assuming it's forged, how is bigger than a person who swears to uphold the law being twice removed from the bench for breaking the law and who has categorically stated that if there's a conflict between the bible and the US Constitution he'll go with the Bible. Such a person tunning for the senate is a smaller story than a forged signature?
Oh, he also says there should be a religious test for members of congress, another thing expressly forbidden.

Have you ever considered how much you and Moore have in common?

Which is what exactly, grampa boxwine?

 

[Hypoxia]

No, the issue isn't about trying Moore because statute of limitations. Rather, judge his reactions, evasions, justifications. Locals say he was a joke for decades. Banned from the mall for harassing schoolgirls. How does he answer that?

Moore admits pursuing near-jailbait less than half his age. Two generations ago we aged faster and harder. 30-somethings were at the edge of middle age. "50 is the new 30," remember? Moore says he doesn't recall some of the alleged sexual encounters. A middle-aged authority figure can't recall the teenyboppers he's groped and schtupped. What does that say about him?

1- He's lying.
2- Alzheimer's.
3- He's a sleazier slut than we imagined.

What does he have in common, old man? Too much of a pussy to come out and say it? Yeah, we know you are.

Mel Gibson’s latest movie is the box office winner today.

Without a conviction there is no crime.

Let the ballot box decide, yes?

The DA there is his assistant

Whenever his assistant signed something in Moore's name, he added teh DA

 

[Rightguide]

You seem to be arguing that all sexual deviants like Moore should join the GOP - as a sure fire cure for their sins!

You have no intellect. I'm simply saying that when he was a Democrat these transgressions allegedly "known to all" didn't matter, much like those of Bill Clinton didn't matter to the left when he was carrying their water.

no one cares RE Menendez

Why?

Cause he is a D

 

[Luk]

I think it's important to note that Moore proved himself unqualified for the position even before all these allegations of sexual misconduct. You have a man twice removed from the bench as a judge because of his refusal to comply with federal law. He also unethically ordered other judges to disobey a Supreme Court ruling.

I get he is against same sex marriage; however, when you take the bench you agree to uphold the law, not shun it and defy it. Judges are in a position to set aside their personal biases on a regular basis (be it on abortion, gun control, and even gay marriage). He failed his job as a judge - I cannot imagine he will do much better as a senator.

Read the quoted above you. It's factual which I know is difficult for you to comprehend.

"Wuddabout ...?"

 

[RobDownSouth]

"Wuddabout ...?"

The "WhatAbouts" and "WhichIfTrue" enablers are running rampant in this thread.

Funny how not a single one of 'em is brave enough to come out and actually say "I support Roy Moore!"...they'll do everything up to that in order to defend him though.

 

[MagnusRichard]

I would note vote for him.

But without conviction in court, he is eligible to run for senate, yes?

Let the voting decide, yes?

 

[RobDownSouth]

I would note vote for him.

Of course you wouldn't. You, at least, have a valid excuse: You're Canadian.

But without conviction in court, he is eligible to run for senate, yes?

Yes he is eligible, and no he'll never be convicted in a court of law, since the statute of limitations has expired. He'll be tried in the court of public opinion instead. (See also: Joe Paterno).

Let the voting decide, yes?

Let the good people of Alabama vote their conscience, if they have one.
