POLL: Do you believe the sexual misconduct allegations against Senate nominee Roy Moore?
Yes
No
I'm not sure
Most of it has been clearly debunked. He may have dated high school girls but he didn’t ‘date’ them in the current sense of the word. He talked to their parents first. And an older guy dating younger girls wasn’t uncommon in the south. Heck my wife went on dates with much older men when she was 18 and she lived on the left coast.
So this is just an attempt to destroy him. Hopefully the people of AL are smart enough to see through it.
Yes, I pretty much think they’re true, and that’s due to his lawyerly parsing of responses to questions, and his past history on the bench. But it’s not up to me to vote or not vote for him. Those that DO vote for him will have to live with their choice, and they know that. I don’t think he’ll be elected.
I wish there was a H*LL NO!
Once I saw all the convenient coordination going on, I knew it was all bogus. It’s that old fool me once.....

He’s been an open book for at least the last couple of decades, and we know where he stands.
Whereas the attacks come right before an election, with no time to vet them. And whoever he was 40 years ago, people who have known him the last 30 tell us the charges are simply not possible.
His attackers, on the other hand, are not an open book at all. One has a history of making similar charges about other people. Another’s family all support Moore. The charges about the mall are refuted by the mall manager.
So, for me, Moore gets the benefit of the doubt. And, in fact, I do believe him. And as I say, if I’m wrong about who he was 40 years ago, its clear who he has been the last 30 and who he is today. And its quite clear who his political opponents are. Case closed.
The Gope, democrats and media pulled the trigger on this gambit too soon.
The Turtle is not gonna like the outcome.

Nay! AKA No!
Fake news.
Proud someone stands up to it.
No

Remember what McConnell did to Chris McDaniel in Mississippi. Remember Dan Rather’s fake document. Remember the fake pissgate dossier. The other side plays dirty. You have to give tea party conservatives benefit of the doubt. They are up against DNC, GOP, and the permanent state.
This "disconnect" as I'll call it between the south/deep south on this specific issue and the rest of the country is pretty stunning.
I frankly don't see it as being in any way appropriate for a grown man in his 20's - 30's to be "dating" a 14-16 year old child whether or not he has the parents "permission."
It's fundamentally wrong, I just don't care how you try justifying it.
Personally I don’t care. Looks like it was fine with the parents. he didn’t rape any of them and took them home when they asked. In my opinion he was a nerd who took what he could get!!!
No, I don’t believe it. It is just too convenient. After 40 years and just before an election. It smells of GOPe.
It’s a stupid question. It is not a matter of faith. You believe or not believe in God. In more mundane matters, you need proof. INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY IN THE COURT OF LAW. And the burden of proof is on the accuser. If you cannot prove it, just shut up, otherwise, it’s libel. The so called court of public opinion is a lynch court. This way, anyone can be accused of anything. Again, stupid, stupid question. One borrowed from fake news media.
As soon as Gloria Allred showed up I knew it was all fake.
No. But I also don’t think it should matter. The election should be about who will be the best representative for the people of Alabama. I think Moore is the hands down winner there. So, if the people of Alabama think they should pay for Moore’s supposed sins with six years of their representative rights, they are wrong. Vote for the person who will best represent you. Then worry about the next candidate, if Moore does not do his job. Jones will not be a better representative just because Moore may be guilty.
16 years old is the legal age of consent in Alabama.
It's wrong on every moral level I can think of. It's pedophilia IMO.
