Do you have a link to definitive notice of the mother’s death? If so, excellent find!

Its something how this comes out a month before the election. Roy has been a national figure since like 2003.

Moore was dating minors as a 30-year old? And he thought he could run for Senate?

That is the Achilles' Heel. Assuming for argument's sake that the 15 year old story is not true with respect to actions or age, if all he did was date girls that much younger than him while they were 15, 16, and 17 it is culturally disqualifying now from a political perspective.

“All of FOX CREW following orders to toast Judge Moore-no more Fox for me.”
*********************************************
Watters was following that script exactly today. Marching orders were given and the WILLING EXECUTIONERS were following their orders. How low they have fallen! Complete absence of character there now.

Looks like Roy may have dated young women with the parents approval when he was 30, so they came up with the 14 year old to make the story worse. That way they are claiming it’s 4 women.


In 1979 Roy Moore was a West Point Military Academy graduate, an Army Captain, a Vietnam War vet and a recent graduate of the University of Alabama Law School.

He was also single which made him a top tier most eligible bachelor candidate in 1970s
Alabama

Even upper class moms would have been circling like vultures trying to set there daughters with young Roy Moore given his accomplishments and blue chip future prospects.

Times were different back then in the South.

Women got married young and their future lives were largely determined by the quality of the man they married. Far from being seen a child molester, parents would have seen Moore as a highly accomplished suitor who was well established and and a stable potential husband for their daughter.

For their part, the women of the South of that era may have been young but most were 16 or 18 going on 29. They were far from immature and could take take care of themselves.

Given Roy Moore's status top tier most eligible bachelor, he could have played the rake, taken advantage of young women and cut wide swath sowing his wild oats with the young ladies of the day.

Instead, the very testimony of his would be accusers show that, by his actions, he was a decent, honorable suitor who, in the tradition of Southern Gentlemen, kept his hands to himself and did not take advantage of or force himself and any young women.

I mean really, he actually kissed several of them.

Give me a break.

This is perfectly stated, yet we will never hear it anywhere else other than a site like this. Great overall post, thanks for your thoughts and time.

Yep it looks like a lawsuit from Moore is coming.

A Twitter feed: “Roy Moore lawsuit Washington Post”

Here’s one story.

“Roy Moore’s wife says she’s going to sue the Washington Post for ‘defamation’ over sexual abuse allegations”

“Kayla Moore, wife of Republican Alabama Senate nominee Roy Moore, says she and her husband intend to sue the Washington Post for defamation after they published allegations that he had inappropriate sexual contact with a 14-year-old at age 32. ...”

How is this different from the allegation of the Russian dossier claiming Melanie and Trump had prostitutes piss on the bed obama slept in and the allegations against against Moore. By the time it is cleared up on Moore the elections will be long past.

So Moore dated some very young women. BFD If he was a democrat he would have just had his way and it would be just about sex.

WAIT....Isn’t 14 considered ‘over the hill’ in Alabama?

I think the law in Washington DC is under 14 years of age.

Drain the swamp. In Virginia I’m hoping a certain person replaces Goodlette. She’s very conservative. Remaking the Gop and America is in full throttle. Swamp beware.

Once we get enough people in place the traitors can be dealt with.

Of course it's false.

No evidence presented. No proof. No substantiated facts. No nothing. Just out of the blue allegations from 40 years ago.

The telling part that confirms to me that it is false, is not so much Mooere denials, which I believe.

But the telling part is all of the GOP RINO senators coming out immediately demanding he step aside without any proof that he did this.

This is a political hit piece, no doubt about it. Sadly, from his own party.

The Hemmings children were fathered by Thomas Jefferson, it was not a rumor created out of thin air by Callender.

Sally was a half-sister to his late wife to whom he swore that he would never re-marry.

Jefferson essentially allowed them to leave the plantation and the only slaves he freed upon his death were Hemmings.

Just more “opposition research” by the Dems. Nothing to see here.
