Roamer, come on, stop talking like you live on a frontier planet. You live in the United States with the rest of us.
@CatherineofAragon Obviously different from where you are (which surprises the hell out of me)... As I have opined elsewhere, it seems the defenders of Moore on his character tend to be Western men - And yes, it is still very much the frontier here. In town, I'd reckon, somewhat the same, but 5 miles from town, cops are far, far between, and mainly for bringing the body bags. Folks govern themselves here, necessarily. I am sure that is still so back in the hollers in Appalachia too, and in the Ozarks and swamps, but here, that is multiplied by vast distance.
I've stated repeatedly, over and over, that I don't assume guilt or innocence of either man or woman. How is that you guys just keep missing me saying that, every time? I wait for information to come in before I make my judgment.
Yet with nothing but hearsay, you are determined to destroy the man's character.
As for "feeeelings", like I said, I weigh the information and the facts, Some of you, on the other hand, are operating as though that saint in a cowboy outfit couldn't have told a lie, much less molested someone. Now that's based on feeling.
Yeah, and we have a pretty good amount, by now.
No, really you have nothing. You have uncorroborated gossip, extended by innuendo. The only hard evidence (and that only pointing toward Moore knowing the accuser, and lying about his ever being to the diner in question) you have is being reasonably challenged, and should be set aside until determined. Other than that, *bupkis*.
And on top of that, each new act in the saga specifically refutes statements by Moore, and adds nothing else, other than the refutation.
Moore says he doesn't know the gal, and says he never frequented the diner, and abracadabra! the yearbook shows up to specifically refute those statements. He says dating young girls is not something he did particularly, and abracadabra, another player steps forward , adding nothing to the conversation except the words that Moore supposedly 'does it all the time', with reference to dating 17 yo girls.
It is so blatantly constructed to discredit the man, so blatantly political in nature, that I can't see how anyone would lend it any sort of credence to begin with. But even if you do, there is nothing there to hang your hat on. Nothing. Just waggin tongues, and that very likely politically driven.
I could give a shit about his cowboy outfit and him being a saint. It is his record that speaks volumes. And that cannot be denied.
