McConnell: ‘I believe the women’ accusing Roy Moore

[Free Vulcan]

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) said Monday that Alabama Senate GOP candidate Roy Moore should leave the race, saying he believes the women who have accused Moore of sexual misconduct.

“I think he should step aside,” McConnell told reporters in Louisville, adding: “I believe the women, yes."

The comments go further than the majority leader's initial statement last week, which came after the Washington Post reported that four women said Moore pursued them as teenagers when he was in his 30s. McConnell said then that Moore should leave the race if the allegations were true.

Of course you do, Mitch.

[Hoodat]

But we don't believe you, Mitch.  Ted Cruz was right.

[Frank Cannon]

Limp wristed Mitch prays everyday that he can lose his majority so he can go back to sleep. His life was far more relaxing when Dingy Harry controlled him like a puppet.

I can only wonder what the Islamist Throwbacks think of this political catfight, and how many more of them it's inspiring to perceive us as weak and take up the fight against us.

McConnell simply adds more gasoline to the fuel and fire that tells me he was either aware of, or has involvement in creating the scandal and parading the "victims' so as to punish the voters in Alabama for rejecting his boy Strange.

Weak?  How about strength?    I applaud McConnell and the many other Republicans and conservatives who are standing up to this moral hypocrite.

PROOF Please?

So far we have Accusations by the bucketful which are coming apart at the seams, just like all that crap we got about Putin rigging the election, from the same crowd who stand to benefit from torpedoing Moore.

Agreed. If Mitch and the rest of the Republican hierarchy are not involved, why aren't they out there supporting their candidate?  Why aren't they demanding proof of the allegations?  Why aren't they calling for an investigation?

PROOF Please?

Jazzhead doesn't need nor want any proof.  Moore is a devout Christian and he hates Christians who are not liberal Leftists with a virulent passion, so anything that helps lay waste or punishes such people - he not only applauds - but wishes to engage in administering punishment himself. Per his own words.

Agreed. If Mitch and the rest of the Republican hierarchy are not involved, why aren't they out there supporting their candidate?  Why aren't they demanding proof of the allegations?  Why aren't they calling for an investigation?

Because the voters in Alabama choosing Moore over Strange was "A bridge too far" and the Oligarchy in the Republican party is about to punish them and select their ruler for them.

Maybe because they recognize him as a moral hypocrite.   Partisanship and partisan loyalty shouldn't go so far as to compel one to defend the indefensible.

There's still almost a month to go before the election.   If Moore steps down now, there may be a chance the seat can be saved.   THAT's where partisanship comes into play.   Sticking by an untenable candidate while his reputation implodes doesn't do the GOP, or conservatives, the least bit of good.

Wonder what those lying thieves will do, should Moore win.  Are they going to try to prevent him from taking his seat in the senate?  If they do, I think there will be hell to pay. 

I'm hoping the voters in Alabama see what these guys are up to and give them the proverbial middle finger by electing Moore.

Is this how you define Principle?

Toss people out of the sleigh to the wolves in the hope they catch and eat you last?

Principle boils to to a Personality Contest?

The other side gets to pick and choose our candidates for us on the basis of Their Agenda?

What is indefensible?  None of the allegations have been proven.  As long as there is no proof of the allegations against Moore and there are no criminal charges against him, then the party should stick by Moore.  That is  called loyalty, but it appears that with the Republican party, loyalty is a one-way street. 

By the way, how can the seat be saved if Moore drops out?  Is there any possibility at this late date the party can put forth another nominee?  I'm inclined to think it's too late.  If Moore drops out or is removed. then the seat goes to the Democrats.

"There's almost a month to go. If Moore Steps Down There's A CHANCE That Seat Can Be Saved."

By Who?

Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush could not be reached for comment.

But their offices told us that they could not relocate to Alabama in time to meet ballot residency requirements, the way Hillary carpet bagged her Senate seat in NY.

I believe the evidence

Hahahahahahah. No, Seriously, who ISN'T The President?

What evidence?

Same as you are.  You'll defend perverts and their behavior and promote to punish Christian 'bigots' you hate by destroying their livelihoods and forcing them to violate their consciences.

Partisanship and partisan loyalty shouldn't go so far as to compel one to defend the indefensible.

It does for the GOP leadership.  They went to bat to save Democrat Menendez, even so far as to testify what a great guy he is during his trial - but Moore - oh no - he must be crucified.

Lindsey Graham Calls for Roy Moore to Step Aside but Defends Bob Menendez

If Moore steps down now, there may be a chance the seat can be saved.

Bullshit and you know it.

That's an option we're looking at, whether or not there is someone who can mount a write-in campaign successfully," McConnell said during a news conference on tax reform. Whether that candidate could be Strange, whom Moore defeated in the primary, McConnell added: "We'll see."

Luther Strange owes McConnell lots and lots of favors.  And that was the case before McConnell's boys dumped millions of dollars into the primary.

Mitch McConnell circled the wagons around Bob Packwood like a rabid dog. He looked a blind eye to Menendez. He kept his mouth shut about Dennis Hastert.....but a guy he genuinly dislikes get hit with an insane WaPo hit piece and he is outraged.

Mitch is a pansy squish.
