Current Events > Why did Republicans support a child molester for AL-senate?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wasn't this a pretty darn cut and dry issue for the president and the RNC to put their foot down on? Democrats said no to Franken and Conyers. Republicans doubled down on a pedophile child molester.

I'm glad the forces of good won for once. TBH it's deplorable that rank and file Republicans aren't calling on Trump to resign given his own unfairness for the office, and his own sexual predation.

kind of think we're past the point where moral victories count for much at all in america so bragging about it is a little ehhhh

Innocent until proven guilty. If the teenage girl thing was for real, it would have come out during the 2003 controversy when he was kicked out of the Alabama Supreme Court. The guy's been living in relative obscurity for the last decade and a half and JUST NOW this surfaces?

I've lived in Alabama my whole life. The people who supported Roy Moore didn't believe the allegations against him were true. What's crazy though is how many people had the attitude of "Even if he is guilty I would still vote for him over a democrat."

I'm starting to think the GOP is using the special elections to test the waters to see how scummy of a person they can run and still win. That way they can run some absolute sleaze bags in 2018.

Answer me this. If we're talking "innocent until proven guilty", why are you and people like you so unwilling to apply that to the alleged victims also?

Because your opinion right now is that all of those women came together in an elaborate conspiracy to bring down the guy, and that that is way more likely than the idea that any of them could be telling the truth. Essentially you're calling all of these people you don't know fraudsters of the highest and most despicable order, and your only "evidence" to go by is that they didn't come forward sooner (that's in quotation marks because that's not actually evidence, so you know).

I literally had someone from Alabama tell me as I was walking to work today that Roy Moore isn't a pedophile, that was a long time ago and they are all adults now, so that doesn't make him a pedophile, not like he did it while he was 70 years ago.

So basically, if you are like 30-40, it's apparently okay to try to have sex with teenagers, but not if you are 70 according to some Alabamians? I really don't know what that stance is tbqh.

Obviously it's not pedophilia if they eventually become adults.

Because Republicans can't let the Democrats win. No matter what. Even if their guy is a baby eating, kitten kicking, destroyer of worlds, they would still back him.

I suppose these are the same type of people defending Danny Masterson and saying rape allegations from 15 years ago shouldn't matter. I had to sit and listen to like four guys complain about women ruining everything.

It's pretty much been confirmed that Republicans would vote for the Devil if God said he favored the Democrats.
