Really? Ole Mitch McConnell realizes we're at a turning point. Weinstein, Spacey, Louis CK have demonstrated that women don't lie about these kinds of things, that they don't tell because of fear they won't be believed, and, as the reaction has demonstrated, they don't tell because of how they'll be treated by defenders.
If the Grand Old Pederast party wants to go into next year's elections defending Roy Moore, good luck with that. Is losing Congress worth defending this unfit candidate?
I found it interesting that a bunch of Hollywood types were getting stuck to the wall over sexual coercion, but they had something to offer, and used the casting couch in a
quid pro quo arrangement. THe very nature of that quid pro quo arrangement makes the accounts of those involved (and they are legion) credible. It is long established behaviour, a definite pattern, and was apparently well known in Hollywood. BTW, I thought Spacey was into boys?
While I consider all that improper (to put it mildly), Moore had just exactly what to hold out as incentive? He wasn't offering careers, he wasn't going to make anyone a 'star'. Attempts to create a 'longstanding pattern of behaviour' and a herd of 'victims' aren't working, at least with folks who aren't gullible, because those pushing the narrative have something to gain by doing so--the defeat of the Republican in the race. The Democrat (Liberal) paper who broke the story, who went looking for a story (not was contacted), at least one woman who is a democrat operative, the usual democrat-style hyperbole and distortion of fact that, when stripped away leaves a single accuser, oh wait, that didn't work, TWO! (classic double down).
Sorry, but the timing stinks on ice. NONE came forward in any of the other elections? Not even the primary? Talk about 11th hour!
It is a style of allegation which worked during the GOP primaries last year, though, accusations made (targeted for a regional audience) just before the election, dropped just after, with gobs of unnamed sources, or even National Enquirer articles, and now, we have a candidate who stood up to the GLBTQxyz lobby and upheld Alabama law. He even got in trouble for that. No wonder the heavily alphabetized crowd doesn't want him in DC! Who knows how many more Sex stories are there ready to burst in the place where real power is?
That's why I don't see the parallel, considering that Hollywood (a notoriously liberal Democrat cesspit of debauchery) has nothing at all to do with Moore, a Republican DA in Alabama. Worlds apart.
Mitch does realize we are at a turning point. He sees the GOPe losing power. Not to the Democrats, but the People. First, the GOPe candidates were swept from the primaries for POTUS, now this! The Horror.
Damnit, someone is trying to chase the critters out of the swamp!
His swamp! He wanted Strange, and the stupid people of Alabama just wouldn't hand that to him, despite ten million dollars invested. They voted for that guy he didn't want. Now they are acting like Democrats trying to find a way around election results, and if they can't 'hang chad', then they'll hang Moore!
It's sad, but what the GOP does, it has already done it to itself. It's egregious failures to make credible efforts to fulfill the promises made when those dirtbags were elected makes them no better than the other party--and McConnell is at the head of that column.
I guess you always have the GLBTQxyz, 57 gender, if-it-feels-good-do-it Democrats you can run to if the GOPe country club doesn't have enough low-lifes to suit you.
