…voted as a Republican for “years and years and years,”
And will continue to do so…
Brave lady. She has to be experiencing whiplash from the local and national whiplash.
So does Moore still do this shit? And if not when did he quit. Not that it really changes anything, I’m just curious since this behavior seems like it tends to continue even if a guy is past his sexual prime.
“Really?”, said George H.W. Bush, with a snicker.
Yeah this is exactly why I wonder.
Absolutely. Roy Moore supporters are scary.
If Roy Moore were completely successful, his unwanted progeny would be paying for their own health care today.
The one accusation by a slightly ‘older’ woman (that is 26 - and slightly older than the teens) who was groped in his law office, suggests the MO may have changed but the lecherous impulses remained. He was married at the time, so the MO of his predatory behavior just being par for the course in some very extreme fundamentalist circles where the solicitation of teen girls as future brides (think Duck Dynasty old dude) - doesn’t hold water. I would be shocked if there were not a plethora of other ‘slightly older women’ who received gropes from ole’ Roy.
I want Doug Jones to win because he’ll use his power to help people get the health care they need.
These revelations do shine a different line on the multiple arrests and drug and alcohol problems his son deals with, however.
I believe that particular woman had a daughter, didn’t she?
So it may not be so much a change in the impulses, but merely a different tactic. Groom the mother to get at the child in a few years.
I get your point (and am creeped out, again, by the actions of Roy Moore), and I believe you are correct per the daughter (she was giving custody over to her mother). But I don’t know that groping the mother (the one passing on custody of her daughter to her mother), would provide an entry to the child sometime in the future. Unless that was an attempt to start a relationship through which to set the stage in the future. Either way - this was 15+ years (I think) after the other accusers stories - which suggests that there are others who have not yet come forward.)
I guess to be clear, we anonymous commenters are great at peering into the septic tank and recoiling at every turd .
What I want from Chuck Schumer is to be out there needing Doug Jones’ vote to help people get the health care they need.
The fear of retaliation was likely very well grounded. Imagine what happens to a single mother and her kids if a judge decides to make an example of her and has help from the rest of the local establishment.
“I wonder how many other mes he doesn’t know.”
BOOM!
Should Obama go to Alabama and make a campaign appearance for Jones? A win for Jones would be a win for Obama. That prospect would likely gall Trump so much he would have to takes sides (Moore).
The Jones campaign has said they don’t want Democrats showing up, and don’t want help from outside the state, it’s an Alabama issue for them, not a national issue. Joe B. showed up, said his few million words, more than that, other Dems are not invited.
And just thinking …
If Roy had called a schoolgirl at her high school in any other place and time, he would have been locked up too
No, no, no, no , no, no, no. Keep it about Moore and Jones wins. Obama is still so toxic among the deep reds that they’d throw their 14-year old daughters under Moore to spite him.
@sanni From the press, attention yes, whiplash no. I don’t think even Fox would dare push this to the he said she said level. As far as I’ve seen, the press is covering Moore’s increasing strident denials but no one’s out there publicly attacking her.
@daveyjones64 Moore accusing the Etowah County Sheriff’s Department of political retaliation is risible. They protected his known reputation as a molester for decades. I doubt they’d be inclined to pile on. Caleb (who was the explorer of strange lands in the Bible) has a record, and Alabama takes illegal deer hunting seriously.
