Roy Moore may or may not become a U.S. senator, but he was fortunate that the explosive allegations about him pursuing relationships with teenage girls (one as young as 14) while he was in his 30s emerged at a time in his partys history when it had been preparing for years to defend something like this.
If Moores political ambitions survive, hell have President Trump and the way the GOP, in service to Trump, abandoned any pretense of moral principle to thank. [snip]
But if you read the story, its almost impossible to believe it isnt true. Our reporters found four different women, none of whom know each other, telling similar stories of Moore pursuing them when they were teenagers. They didnt come forward themselves the reporters, after hearing rumors that apparently had been circulating in Alabama for years, tracked them down and convinced them to share their stories. They have nothing to gain. Relatives and friends corroborate the stories. And if more women dont come forward, Id be shocked.
In short, the Republican Party has made amply clear that it holds no moral principle above seizing and maintaining power. So a U.S. Senate candidate hit on teenage girls as a man in his 30s? If he can get away with it, Republicans can live with it.

Yes, and his accuser produced a semen-strained dress as hard evidence, otherwise the media would have dismissed it. Of course, they don't dismiss it when it is against a Republican, hard evidence or, in this case, no.
I sense pre-damage control... “how could we know it was a lie!? “
In other words, it was a very carefully planned fabrication.
gotta love “circulating in Alabama for years.” Right! No one ever heard of any of this before.
Just found 'em. That's the ticket.
The democrats are pulling out all stops ,they need this seat so they can impeach Trump
Let's not forget what that meant.
Nine Things JFK Did with that Intern that will Make You Sick
As a Jewess on the US, I can only point out that the number of women who allegedly DATED, but had no sex with, Roy Moore is EXACTLY the same number who accused President Clinton of FORCIBLE RAPE, a FAR more serious offense. Now we know why all REAL Americans put our 2nd Amendment FIRST. Just sayin!
It was immediately obvous, nobody with judge Moore’s reputation as a Christian and contraversonal political leaders would have avoided this for 40 years until 1 month before an election.
If the story was real it would have come out many decades ago.
Washington Post searched the entire state until they found 4 women willing to make an unprovable claim 40 years old, and they released that claim as political propaganda 1 month before an election as to prevent anyone from having the chance to prove it’s nonsense.
It leads me to think that that the way this story developed was somebody emailing every Democrat in the state, asking if they knew anybody willing to smear Moore.
I'm also wondering about how much it has to do with the explosion of accusations against Weinstein, Spacey, and the other Hollywood bigshots, and their need to deflect attention.
They had this article written before the accusations came out. Prove me wrong.
Mitch's man lost the primary so Mitch would rather have a Democrat occupying the seat.
The Washington Post has stooped to printing third grade level logic here.
Moore / Trump, seriously?
The paper gave the rapist in chief a pass, but now has a jones for Roy Moore.
What about Obama arming and funding terrorists? Yep, that’s right. He had members of the Muslim Brotherhood advise him in the White House. That terrorist group toppled three governments on the Southern edge of the Mediterranean.
Who else helped fund this unrest? George Soros front organizations in the region.
No story here... /s
Yep, now back to trashing Moore and Trump.
Moore on Hannity’s Friday 11/10 show denied charges knowing 14 year old but did know families of two other others but didn’t remember dating them.
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.Where the charges should be presented as alleged. Because they know these are damaging accusations which will be almost impossible to disprove.
This posting claims one of the accusers is backing Dem opponent

Never miss an opportunity to smear our President with whatever crap comes down the pipe..
Kudos for the leap of logic, President Trump’s 2016 campaign is responsible for 1970’s Values.
Brilliant, ComPost
You mean like Democrats that will do anything from giving smokes to bums or killing Seth Rich, to hold power?
What do they have on Trump. Fantasizing about having sex. Well, there out to be a law against fantasy, gosh darn it.
Washington post = Luggenpresse.
