PRATTVILLE, Ala. Jerome Cox, the pastor at the Greenwood Baptist Church in this small city 20 miles northwest of Montgomery, put down his banjo and smiled as he explained that he aims to always see the good in people.
That includes people like Roy Moore.
"I voted for him in the primary, in the runoff and Ill be voting for him again on Dec. 12," Cox said.
Of more than a dozen Republican voters in Alabama interviewed by NBC News, none said their support for Moore would change.
Most said they didn't believe the allegations and some said even if they are true, that wouldn't sway their vote for him next month because they think Moore is a good man, should be forgiven and they could never bring themselves to vote for a Democrat anyway. Several attacked the media.
Across the street from Cox's congregation, rock music blared from the Big Star Tavern, where locals slammed Bud Lights, watched college football, shot pool and defended Moore with suds-soaked passion.
"Why would they wait until now to come forward with this unless someone put them up to it," said Tony Emfinger, a 57-year-old barback at the tavern.
Emfinger, who used mostly four-letter words in referring to the allegations, has held Moore in especially high regard since 2003, when his 66-year-old aunt was handcuffed in her wheelchair and arrested after having participated in protests, led by Moore, against orders from a federal judge to remove a monument of the Ten Commandments from the lobby of the Alabama state Supreme Court.
"What he stood for then, what he stands for now, thats why I want him" in the Senate, Emfinger said.

When Mitch was 30, his wife was 19

And wonder when they met and started dating? Hmmmmm
It’s a true statement, but doesn’t really tell the story.
Kinda like many sensational media smears.
Doesn’t Kentucky have banjo players too?
No reason put off the AL election; it’s not until Dec. 12, by which time this smear will be at the bottom of the septic tank, where it deserves to be.
From a purely cynical political consultant perspective, if the woman who claims she was offered money to accuse Moore has her story properly packaged and amplified, the Moor wins.
If the Moore campaign goes after the woman who was 14 when allegedly propositioned by Moore, then it is much more difficult to see a path to victory.
Toxic Mitch is behind this. American Thinker has the article.
And this SERIAL LYING SEX ABUSE CLAIMANT IS JUST THAT worked for Bernie.

I’m one!
Went to breakfast yesterday at the local McDonalds in my small Alabama town. We have an old folks corner where lots of elderly and not so elderly have morning coffee and shoot the breeze.
Folks are livid! Not at Moore, but at the media, democrats and RINOs and the allegations which are only being seen as bull$h!t made up to get Moore off the ballot.
It aint gonna work!
Even the Baptist corner part of the old folks corner are angry. Of course they adore Moore, but still. This falls flat.
Moore will win, and go on to DC.
Never Trumpers and drive by media radio talk hosts are having a field day ignoring the fact that all of the accusers were of the age of legal consent. Including the one claiming when 14 years old. For her accusations are the juiciest. Which they gleefully relate and dwell on in a touchy feel-ly manner as if it came off of a police report yesterday. Not as a unsubstantiated recollection from 40 years ago. Because they know these are damaging accusations which will be almost impossible to disprove.
Despite that fact that it has been uncovered that two of his accusers are working for the Pervertion Party and that their accusations are false and politically motivated the drivebys and the nevers media are not reporting this but are mentioning one accuser is a “Republican”.
Here is background on two accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14. But was actually 17 at the time? http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts
I was thinking about why they even tried something this amateurish on Moore. I think it was because the GOPe still think that whites (i.e., Republicans) in the South are right out of Deliverance (bitter clingers), and thus hitting him from this way would quickly sever his bonds to the hicks who voted for Trump.
I don’t know if the South was ever like that, but I’ve been in the South several decades now and the people here are FAR from the idiots that the GOPe think they are. In fact, unlike much (if not most) of the country, the Republicans here know EXACTLY who the Democrats are...while, to much of the country, both parties are equally bad - in the South it’s completely different. Southerners (correctly) know that the Democrats are MUCH, MUCH, worse (think Supreme Court, for starters)...so the idea that the Republicans in Alabama would flip to the Democrats, or even sit out the election to watch the Democrats win (as they did in Virginia), is OUT OF THE QUESTION in Alabama.
The RINOs were TOTAL IDIOTS to think that of Southerners and are now being taught a lesson the hard way (although it won’t change them).
That is pretty much what I would say. The WSJ editorial says that "The charges are disqualifying for public office if true, even if the statute of limitations has long expired. This is a stance which would, of course, eliminate the chief of sinners - and in secular terms the author of about a third of the New Testament - Saint Paul from dogcatcher. I dont find it necessary to take it seriously. There is a reason for a statute of limitations, and I actually think more than one.First, this is essentially demanding that Judge Moore prove a negative, and who can remember and document enough of their life to defend such a charge at such a remove???
And it is noteworthy that nothing similar has bee alleged, let alone proven, in forty years. Does anyone seriously suspect that Judge Moore is harassing women now, or will do so in future? What, exactly, is the benefit to society which accrues from raising this charge now? Does anyone suppose that being credulous of in judicable she said allegations against a conservative now will expunge the stain on the famous blue dress???
Remember Harry Reids (after-the-fact admitted) bold-faced lie about Mitt Romneys income tax?Remember Anita Hill?
Remember Crystal Mangum and Michael Nifong?
Remember the prosecutors bringing fatuous charges against Senator Ted Stevens?
Remember the prosecutors bringing fatuous charges against Tom Delay?
ENOUGH!
All of the pearl-clutchers on FR deeply saddened.
I’ll bet that the 18 yo guy does not regret it either! lol
In 1989 Senator John Tower was nominated for Secretary of Defense. The day the debate on Tower’s nomination began in the Senate, Bob Woodwards article entitled, “Incidents at Defense Base Cited, Drunkenness, Harassment of Women Alleged” appeared on the front page of the Washington Post. Bob Woodward reported that informed sources claimed Tower had been drunk at Bergstrom Air Force Base. Tower was not confirmed and the next day it was revealed that Woodwards source was discharged from the Air Force for psychiatric reasons. Another story used against him was that he danced naked on a grand piano with his mistress, a Russian ballerina. This was reported by Leslie Stahl on CBS even though the FBI had reported they had reason to believe it was not true. Sen. Ted Kennedy told students at Yale University that he was “troubled” by reports that John Tower drank excessively and made improper advances toward women.
“When Mitch was 30, his wife was 19.”
Mitch’s wife was just a teenager when they got married and he was way up in his thirties. That’s weird.
The left is scum.
Communist scum...pure and simple.
“What did Mitch do between 1980 and 1993?”
I’m sure a prize-winning investigative reporter will be right on that...
