Cue ricky, donnie, and samiam to come on tell us how wonderful the GOP is and how democrats are ruining our country. That we are blowing things out of proportion and that the young girls probably enjoyed it, special snowflakes that they are pretending to be. Sorry to disappoint ya, but the man's a filthy perverted pig, should step down, and if found guilty should suffer the consequences. This man's behavior does not represent the entire GOP though, but that's for a different discussion. Thank you.

Mitch McConnell is now calling on Moore to step aside. Does that mean Luther Strange would be the nominee? Just like Trump and McConnell wanted? Sounds hinky to me. McConnell said Moore should step aside if it's true. McConnell is slippery with his words - of course Moore will deny it then McConnell doesn't have to do anything further. And plenty of people will vote for him because BENGHAZI! EMAILS! THE GAYS! UNGRATEFUL BLACK NFL PLAYERS! I hope I never hear another fucking word from the party that likes to pretend they are the party of morals. Totally agree. I just find the timing so strange. Surely with this man's long history in public life, this accusations might have come out sooner. Instead, they come out after he wins a primary over the guy Trump and his folks supported. I don't suppose the people of Alabama might come to their senses and realize both the Republican candidates are/were scum, and vote for a Democrat instead?

Hizzoner Roy "Morals" Moore is now fundraising based on today's news - complete with accusations of both Liberal Evil Incarnate and...wait for it..."silencing" tactics.

They cannot remove Moore's name from the ballot, so yes he will get votes. There are people all over that are supporting Doug Jones.

Well, clearly, he has a goshdarned excess - nay, a SURFEIT - of morals. Exhibits A and B: Just look at Himself. What else do we need to know? You said "surfeit". I thought I was on the only American who uses that word :*). I love you!

You know, when all those women and men in support of them marched on January 21 in pink hats, we were accused of being special snowflakes and hysterical, blowing things out of proportion.
Hey, reality check. Women are so unimportant to a large segment of our population that people will vote for pedophiles who abuse girls before they vote for a Democrat.
Deplorables, well, yeah, the term fits.

Roy Moore: 'The transgenders don't have rights'BY REBECCA SAVRANSKY - 11/09/17 03:10 PM EST Alabama GOP Senate nominee Roy Moore said Wednesday that transgender people don't have rights.
"The transgenders don't have rights," Moore said Wednesday during a press conference, according to the Montgomery Advertiser.
"They’ve never been denominated as having rights by the U.S. Supreme Court."Moore then went after his Democratic opponent, former federal prosecutor Doug Jones, saying he is taking up "transgender issues and transgender rights in the military." "He believes in transgender bathrooms and transgenders in the military. I disagree with him 100 percent," Moore said during the appearance. Moore is running to fill the Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions, who was tapped by President Trump to lead the Justice Department earlier this year. He's running against Jones in the December special election. The Alabama candidate has hardly been embraced by Washington Republicans, and is now dealing with a new controversy. In a report published Thursday in The Washington Post, Moore is accused of having a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979. The report spurred an immediate backlash, with several GOP lawmakers calling for Moore to withdraw if the allegations are true. Moore has previously sparked controversy with his comments on LGBT rights. Last month, he called for the impeachment of the federal judge who partially blocked President Trump's ban on transgender people serving in the military. He said the decision of the federal judge is "absolutely ridiculous" and a "perfect example of the outlandish doctrine of judicial supremacy whereby judges exalt themselves over the Constitution they are sworn to uphold." thehill.com/homenews/senate/359668-roy-moore-the-transgenders-dont-have-rights

Bannon compares Moore report to Trump Access Hollywood tapeBy JACQUELINE ALEMANY, KATHRYN WATSON CBS NEWS November 9, 2017, 8:56 PM Last Updated Nov 9, 2017 10:11 PM EST MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE— At a speech in New Hampshire Thursday night, GOP strategist Steve Bannon compared the accusations against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore to the release of President Trump's infamous "Access Hollywood" video during the 2016 election."But it's interesting," Bannon told the audience. "The Bezos-Amazon-Washington Post that dropped that dime on Donald Trump, is the same Bezos-Amazon-Washington Post that dropped the dime this afternoon on Judge Roy Moore. Now is that a coincidence? That's what I mean when I say opposition party, right? It's purely part of the apparatus of the Democratic Party. They don't make any bones about it. By the way, I don't mind it. I'll call them out every day." *************** On Thursday, Bannon also went into some of the backstory of what happened in the Trump campaign when the "Access Hollywood" tape broke, describing how Mr. Trump "blew up," and Bannon said it was time to "double down."************* Bannon's speech Thursday comes after he reminisced about Mr. Trump's win on the one-year anniversary of the 2016 election, or as he calls it, "the high holy day of MAGA." Bannon — unprompted and before the Moore story broke — also mentioned the "Access Hollywood" tape then.
"The people don't care about locker room talk,"Bannon said of the tape, adding that instead people care about the "destruction" of the greatest country on earth. **************** www.cbsnews.com/news/steve-bannon-speaks-in-new-hampshire/

Guess Hannity needs to answer some questions! Heresy, but we needs to know........... The article I read stated that the women said that they were not forced. So that is where Hannitypieceofshit is getting the "consensual" from. And totally disregarding their age at the time.

John Pavlovtiz says it best--
""If these professed men of God truly acknowledged your inherent value, they would be fiercely defending you right now, instead of Donald Trump and men like him.
They would be openly condemning such disregard for the image of God within you, and sharply severing their ties with him—but many of them they aren't.
They're making excuses. They're blaming the victim. They're doubling down. They're digging in their manly heels right now."

From that day in January when millions of men and women (some in pink hats) marched to this, I feel a change is coming. People are awake and paying attention. Predatory men are finally facing consequences. People are informing themselves about politics and laws and the factors that affect their lives! I keep my pink hat in the dash bored of my rear window. #NeverthelessShePersisted. #Wow #Historyinthemaking

Just one example: He represents a separate part of the state from where I live. I've never even heard of him. Of the people I actually KNOW, only one has uttered any kind of support of Moore. Even the politician I'm FB friends with is horrified at this. Lumping people into groups is ugly, and I am disappointed with the Peas that it is being accepted in this instance.

I lived in SC for five years. I try not to profile people geographically. But in seriousness--is your state going to elect him? Are your neighbors who do live in your part of the state going to pull the lever for him? Are your politicians who say they are disgusted going to call for him to withdraw and for people not to vote for him? Because I don't judge people for where they live, but I do judge them for what they do.
