Senate Republicans face a dire reality in Alabama following sexual misconduct accusations about Roy Moore, their Senate nominee in Alabama: They want Moore gone from the race but are largely powerless to make that happen.

They kept throwing volleys at Trump which he deflected with genius and agility. Moore is not Trump. Watch/listen to Hannity interview Moore last night. You decide how he did - be objective.

I'll repeat myself. Keep in mind that AG Sessions is from Alabama. Look at the criticism he's gotten, from both political parties. The Invisible Hand does not like his pro-Constitution views and his not being pressured into taking shortcuts in legal matters he is considering. Then there's the ongoing destruction of Southern history, traditions, and culture.

And now they're coming after the candidate Alabama voters chose? I would think Alabama voters are not amused.

I wonder if it was this kind of crap about which Jefferson made the comment about watering the tree.

They can expel him or refuse to seat him. If they do that the GOP is burnt toast, and as a party it will go the way of the Whigs, and a new party will rise to take its place.

>>>liberal smear tactics<<<

Except I believe these were ‘elitist’ smear tactics . . . so-called ‘friendly fire.’

“No thinking adult intelligence level person believes this BS story. “

That’s the problem. Politics is not about uniting people. As practiced by the Left, politics is the art of dividing the electorate such that you have 51% of the electorate’s votes.

Approximately 40% of the voters are on the Left. Another 40% are on the Right. All elections are about persuading 51% of the remaining 20% to vote for your candidate. Unfortunately, those 20% in the middle are poorly informed, or, if they watch the media, misinformed. They vote based on what they heard last or because the candidate has nice hair. These critical votes are the voters who may be persuaded not to vote for Moore because...Horrors! Scandal!

This tactic, also called “the October Surprise” in presidential races, works. The question is, with the way the Left has overused the “I was molested forty years ago” card, will it work even with the misinformed in this case?

No thinking adult intelligence level person believes this BS story.
Supposidly happened almost 40 years ago
Unreliable ex Clinton campaign worker accuser who
Was divorced 3 times
Went bankrupt maybe more than once
Who obviously wanted/needed $$
The only real unanswered question is how much was she payed to lie? "Will you spread a salacious rumor about Judge Moore for one million dollars?"

"Yes."

"How about just $10 then?"

"What kind of girl do you think I am?"

"We already established that with the first question. Now we're just haggling over the price."

The real question with regards to Moore’s election is how is this playing with the Alabama voters.
It gets lot of play of FR but does the media in Alabama even mention it? My guess is that its
not that big of an event in Alabama.

Now the impact upon Moore’s effectiveness in the Senate may be a totally different discussion.

They had to lower the bar of what is considered sexual”misconduct”.

They include dating adult teenagers where the most that happened was a kiss.

“Say Moore does win. Will the US Senate then try to expel him? Would they even hold hearings on the matter?”

Can’t wait for Mitch McTurtle to coldly refuse to shake Senator-elect Roy Moore’s hand.

Right after the melendez hearings. Maybe they could dig up the swimmer Kennedy and expel him post death, along with Sheets Byrd.

I read yesterday that the woman who claims she was 14 at the time of the incidence has made the same claim against 3 or 4 ministers and offered to not go public for money. I imagine someone at WaPo had the right amount “to go public” this time.

Does a young man keep block sensuality with his briefs? Who briefed this woman on her accusations? Why are certain RINOs all to ready to believe this. How about one good old polygraph tests? A single gentleman maybe kissing a girl of marryin age and being excessively promiscuous with a delinquent from a court where he works? RINOs buy this? Wapo is low, below the belt punches. I pray for Truth to prevail in this case and in this country.

With all the sexual harassment accusations flying all over these days, I ask but a simple question, “Where is the evidence?” It is a matter of “She said, he said”. So what's it going to be, the word of a paid politically accuser (who happens to be a demodummie working for the Clinton's) or a former Judge, Attorney General of his home state, who has an impeccable history of service to his country? Show me the evidence!
