So they are pulling a “Moore” on Kavanaugh. I said at the time that if we let them get away with doing this to Moore, they would keep going back to this well. - DiogenesLamp

Moore . . . single handedly lost an unloseable election. the people spoke. there is no comparison between that avoidable debacle and this morally vile sneak attack launched by senate dems.

Speaking as one whose grandmother, at age 16 (or less, if anything) married a widower near twice her age, I agree with DiogenesLamp. It’s true that morals shifted in the past generation or so WRT marrying younger women (“girls,” we would say today). But when I was in high school, practically all of the girls in my graduating class were married within a year of graduation. And not all of them married high school sweethearts, either. Tho some did.
It’s clear that marrying an older man makes a wife the junior partner in the marriage, and that is the main reason it’s no longer as accepted. But Moore was “guilty” of having a traditional attitude WRT to marriage ages - at a time when the law would soon change, but had not yet changed.
But in the Moore case as in the Kavenaugh one, the "seriousness of the charge” is vastly overblown - and the nature of the evidence is mostly that it’s really hard to have an alibi for some putative event in the distant past.
The comparison of the Kavenaugh smear to the Thomas High Tech Lynching is obvious - but IMHO the comparison to the hit on Moore is more to the point.

the roy moore bitter enders are actually reveling in the last minute slime job that the dems are putting on kavanaugh because they absurdly think it somehow rehabilitates their weird hero, or at least changes the subject from their weird hero to something a little more trendy, like “it’s all [fill in the blank with the name of a random republican]’s fault”. they didn’t listen to DJT, and they did something stupid. the fact that the dems playbook seems to only have the #metoo play left in it is due only to their abject poverty of any new ideas.

there is absolutely no relation here, unless you’re just desperate to prove a relationship for selve serving reasons. these couldn’t be any more different men, or different situations, or different circumstances. and with all due respond to your honorable grandmother, I just don’t see how on earth she’s connected to any of this.

Thank you. I think Moore got a raw deal. Those women should not have been believed, nor should their story have gotten on the public airwaves.

Bill Clinton actually raped, through violence and intimidation, a series of women over the years, and yet he didn't get half of the hatred that people heaped upon Moore for unprovable accusations leveled against him nearly 40 years after the fact.

The media weapon system defended him and is still doing so to this day.
