In one comment you defend your moral outrage against Moore by saying “that’s why we have age of consent laws”, then when you find out he dated girls over the age of consent, you change your line of defense to “just because something is legal doesn’t make it right”.

You are going in circles; - is your problem with Moore that he broke the law or that the Alabama consent laws at the time were too lenient?

Either way, wouldn’t your moral outrage be better spent on some of the countless leftist perps who really did something wrong - rather than the innocent conservative being set up?

Actually, no, he's alleged to have violated the law. I wasn't there, so I don't know whether he did or didn't. My point is that it doesn't matter - even if he obeyed the law, his admitted actions are on their own unjustifiable, without having to weigh the evidence for what is in dispute.

Yeah, I don't want Anthony Weiner or Bill Clinton in power either. But I'm not so blind that I think perversion is only a problem when it occurs in leftist politicians.
