This latest allegation creates a huge credibility problem for him. That story that one woman told about Moore forcing sexual contact with her now has corroboration. It is no longer an outlier and that really damages his credibility.

As I said in my first post, if Moore did it once, that means he did it more than once.

Now I suspect more accounts are going to become public.
:lol: It's this accusation that creates problems? Not the first 4? :lol:
It's a total stretch to go from a 32 year old making out with 16 year olds to the same 32 year old feeling up a 14 year old. Zero corroboration.

It's a whole new world of people actually holding pedophiles and sexual harrassers/assaulters responsible for their transgressions. Heck, even Corey Feldman is slowly rolling out the names of people who assaulted him when he was a kid.

LOL at BDKKKJMU's crying over the "persecution" of one of his fellow racists.

The girls/women didn't say anything because of fear. This is not uncommon. I hope you aren't married/have daughters.

Is Moore a racist? He's a pedophile (allegedly) but where does the racism come from?

You do realize that, of the first four "accusers," only one alleged Moore tried to engage in forcible sexual contact? The others actually said that he did not try anything beyond a consensual kiss. You know that, right?

Now there are two accusers that claim he engaged in forcible sexual conduct. That's now corroboration of such behavior.

I know. You actually didn't read the WaPo story. :coffee:

Oh...so kissing an underage child is ok as long as you to get to handsy? Give me a break. :roll: Kissing (like dancing) leads to heavy petting...which leads to sex. That's a bit tongue-in-cheek, but seriously, it's still an inappropriate relationship with a minor. Legal or not...it's got to make you question his judgement. He sought out underage girls.

Moore is a racist ? According to whom? What has Moore done that is racist?

Yeah, and they waited 30-40 years and just happened by chance to come forth a month or so before Moore is about to be elected to the senate, no coincidence at all.. :dunce:

Only one of the four original sources was underage. The other three were legal, albeit too young for a 30-year-old.

So essentially, he tried to get with older teens that could at least resist his advances...

...and sexually assaulted the younger teens who were more vulnerable to his authority.

How many times have we seen it now when when someone is running for POTUS, Senate, House, Governor, that something that happened decades prior just happens to pop up a few weeks or months before the election? Instead of bring it up years or decades earlier, people wait until a couple of weeks or months before the election. I'm not talking something that is publicly known and new details emerge. I'm talking something majorly negative, out of the blue, a couple of weeks/months before the election. That's not a coincidence. Its smacks of political gotcha..

Why wasn't this brought up during the primary?

Its gotten to the point now if its something that happened decades prior, and its that big a deal, then bring it up during the primary campaign. If its brought up a couple weeks/months before the election, that smacks of politics, and I'm going to tend to discount it.

Defending pedophiles...


Does it matter WHEN it happened?

Does it matter WHEN it was brought up?

Think about what has been happening around the country - lots of men, liberal and conservative, are being "outed" so to speak for being perverts, pedos, sexual predators, etc.

Did you ask the same question about Harvey Weinstein? Kevin Spacey? Are you upset that in Arizona, female legislators and lobbyists are finally exposing the perverts in the Arizona State House?

If it was an establishment conk smear campaign, they would have simply brought it up during the primary so their guy Luther Strange would have won.

Yes. Waiting decades, and then springing it right before an election (and these women didn't do this by themselves), is playing political gotcha, and makes it seem less credible than if had been disclosed way earlier..
