Bullshit.
First of all, I’m not a Republican. I called myself a conservative up until this mess, but I’m done with that after watching conservatives turn off their brains, put on blinders, throw common decency out the window, and in some cases, let their deep-seated dislike/contempt for women out into the light. All in order to support a creepy, weird, morally bankrupt child molester. My beliefs are the same, but conservatism is dead, and the evangelical church is deeply sick.
Child molester—-was that caterwaul loud enough? If not, I can up the volume.
@mystery-ak wasn’t pinged by me or anyone else to post more anti-Moore articles. For the love of God, stop making everything a conspiracy. Myst posts right down the middle, pro and con whatever the issue. Anyway, what makes you think she could be bullied by someone not happy about her posting?
Y’all can’t even see it, but you’ve become Free Republic and you’ve become exactly like hardcore Trumpists....blaming everybody except yourself (especially those who wouldn’t dump their principles), spitting with rage. You sound exactly like those TOS morons today. Moore losing just couldn’t be because reasonable people believed the credible accusations. As Breitbart has it , “REPUBLICAN SABOTEURS FLIP SEAT TO DEMS.†Congrats, guys, you’re right in step!
You ain’t blaming this crapshow on me or on the few others who wouldn’t shut up about Moore. There’s now another left winger in the Senate because Alabama went for the worst possible Republican candidate.
Should be very simple lessons...don’t pretend it’s normal for a 30 year old to hang out at recitals trolling for teenagers. Don’t dismiss credible child molestation charges. If you’re sounding too much like TOS and Breitbart, check yourself because it’s a serious red flag.
Oh, and don’t ride a horse to the polling place dressed like a cowboy because you look like a damn embarrassing dork.
In your rush to judgement, kindly don't claim to be a conservative. It doesn't fit. You have, from the start, attacked Roy Moore as if the spurious and decades old allegations against him were gospel, despite the obvious signs that they were not. Despite later shown testimony and evidence they were not. When challenged to produce sources you replied that you were too busy to do others' research for them, but failed to provide your sources. You were not, however too damned busy to spend a crazy number of paragraphs decrying Roy Moore.
For those of us who are Conservatives, the 'hit' on Roy Moore was obvious. The motivation was obvious. The two big issues for him (when he stood up to the Federal Judges trying to legislate from the bench) were the sanctity of marriage and the Ten Commandments monument. Those mean nothing to you. In both cases, he refused to comply with orders which, in one case did not even apply to him or his office.
But no, come forth the allegers, with Gloria Allred waving an altered signature, claiming that during the Carter Administration Roy Moore supposedly engaged in activity with someone under the legal age of consent. How many?
ONE, and only one who claimed he had done any thing with her below the age of consent, and then not even sex, just heavy petting. If I thought that was true, I'd have stood against Moore, myself, but I find, especially in the face of revelations that the girl had a troubled past, didn't live where she supposedly was picked up, and was not credible, nor, for that matter were the allegations of the other person who claimed Moore had been too forward (not a rapist, and she above the age of consent) but who it was disclosed didn't work where she said she had worked, where Moore didn't go to eat, and who even described the layout in exquisite detail but completely wrong. No, I found no credibility in that, furthermore, a little more digging disclosed that these women were serious Democrat supporters.
As for not dating those whose substance abuse problems were reaching their zenith, who had a string of kids behind them, maybe a couple of divorces, or who were for whatever reason unsuitable as a mate, I don't blame Roy Moore at all. That left older women with the same dypsomania, more mileage, and more issues, or younger ones who had none of those problems. Your inflammatory and pejorative statement about cruising dance recitals is out of line, duly noted, and just one more reason that in the past months your opinion has become meaningless to me. If you are looking for work, let me recommend writing for CNN. You'd fit right in, unless there is someone in your past who might today, 50 years later, find your touch offensive in retrospect who can get you canned.
You have ignored facts, refused to even view exculpatory data, refused to provide sources, and taken up the standard against a man whose rulings in court and positions have been staunchly Conservative. Please, don't further your hypocrisy by calling yourself "conservative".
