Roy Moore calls on GOP to 'take a stand' and support Kavanaugh amid sex abuse allegation

[Free Vulcan]

Former Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore called on Republicans to "take a stand" and support suggested U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh following the sexual misconduct allegations levied against him, adding that he believes the Democrats are using Kavanaugh's accuser as a political pawn.

Moore is no stranger to such allegations. He was accused by nine women of sexual misconduct that allegedly occurred during the 1970s - allegations that surfaced about a month before the December special election between Moore and Doug Jones. Moore denied the allegations, although he conceded to dating young women at the time.

The former Alabama Supreme Court urged Republicans to continue their support of the Supreme Court nominee.

He is correct.  Same story ... different date.  The GOP needs to grow a pair and stand up to the leftists.

[Fishrrman]

I think an appropriate name for this affair is....
"Roy Moore's Revenge" !!!

@libertybele

Not at all the same story.  Not even in the ballpark.

Yep, the resemblances are remarkable and unless the GOP steps up, it could forever scar the landscape of conservative politics.

In the meanwhile, CAIR throws a party for Doug Jones (who attends) and boast about it's 20,000 members in the state that voted almost exclusively for Jones (the margin that Jones won by).

The unconscionable fruit of wretched gossip.

I admire Moore's solid defense of the unborn versus some who have abandoned the unborn by talking down those who have worked for the unborn and even call them mean-spirited names, those people should be seen as being on the same side, effectively as some leftists.

Moore came in for a lot of flak, even Senator Cruz withdrew his endorsement.

They call themselves pro-life? BWAHAHAHA!

Funny, I don't recall Kavanaugh being accused of going to malls to pick up girls half his age.

And I don't recall Moore being accused of putting his penis in some drunk girls face. What's your point in attacking Moore?

To me the accusations against Moore was credible. Also, Moore could have won, if he spent time on the campaign trail then going to a football game.

IIRC there was only one girl that accused Moore of improper behavior. Accusations from years ago
are now SOP from the Rats party. A presumption of innocence is a thing of the past. I miss the old
days where an accuser had the burden of proof not the accused.

Literally ALL of the evidence against Moore was knocked down. ALL of it, to include the 'cruising malls' shtick, and the adjoined allegation that he was banned from the mall.

~ALL~ of it was bullshit, constructed just like the accusations against Kavanaugh. Literally made of whole cloth. There is not a single piece of evidence to stand against him, every witness has been refuted, and every accuser tripped up in their own lies.

Please be kind enough to point out the difference, other than the names involved, to those of us who, according to you, have no sense of discernment.

There would be no sliming of Kavanaugh if there wasn't first a sliming of Moore. When will we learn.

Exactly and precisely correct across the board!

They will keep running the play for as long as we allow it to succeed!

What makes you think I’m going to waste my time and help you derail the thread doing that again, when you refused to accept sense the first time and have made it clear your opinion hasn’t changed?

When will this evil end? The Rat activists bring allegations from 30-40 years ago, which can't be verified and it's up to the accused to prove their innocence. The media runs with the story as if the accuser should be taken seriously. The "moderate" pubs get weak knees and spout the typical pc line "the accuser must be heard". The person accused is besmirched and their reputation tarnished. The Rats win.

Unless the American people vote against this kind of thing it's just going to continue.

Damned right he is! 100%!

I don't think we will learn. People want to let their emotions dictate their actions. Principals like due process and innocent until proven guilty get in the way of a satisfying lynching.

600 years of english common law is enough doncha think? Law of the Jungle is much better suited to the 24 hr news cycle and Progressive political prospects.

@Bigun

Doesn’t work that way.  My refusal to lay that mess out again for you because you demand it doesn’t translate to a “gotcha” for you.

You’re free to go back over my old posts on the subject.  Maybe you’ll see reason.  Or more likely not, since your rejection of it was & still is deliberate. 

Consider this matter closed.

@libertybele

Not at all the same story.  Not even in the ballpark.

Not exactly the same, but the same or similar M.O. of whoever is targeting public figures like Judge Kavanaugh and Roy Moore.  Have as many accusers as possible.  The ones who helped sink Moore's campaign found out there is strength in numbers.  If more than one person makes the same or similar accusation, then the accusations must be true.   No need for witnesses or evidence.

That is precisely right.
It was said right on this board that the court of public opinion does not require 'beyond a reasonable doubt'... That 'discernment' can be performed without evidence or oath.

That used to be called vile gossip.
