First, I haven't "convicted" him of anything. Of course, the inverse is also true in that the charges made by the 15 year old are not worthy of being disregarded either.
YES, THEY ARE. I don't care what the alleged crime is anywhere, without corroboration, and without evidence, YES the accusation must be discarded! You don;t convict a man and send him to prison without evidence, and neither do you strip a man of his honor without same.
But that's not really my point. My point is, because of those charges and his admitted willingness to date teenagers whilst in his 30's...he is guaranteed to lose another Senate seat that conservatives can ill afford to lose. What kind of stupidity would consider that a good nomination when the alternative is to run a DIFFERENT solid conservative who will win rather easily.
Oh bullcrap. Those charges have ALL been PROVEN FALSE, with the little bit that is left refuted with good cause.
And the 'dating teenagers' thing is bullcrap too. By all accounts he has been faithful to his wife for decades. That is not the way pedophiles work. It ain't something they turn off.
