Roy Moore and the GOP: Together Forever

There has been talk over the last few weeks about Roy Moore taking his seat and then being expelled from the Senate. There was, at one point, talk about running a write-in candidate with a big name, even whispers of Jeff Sessions. All of that in an effort for the GOP to distance themselves from him.

 

That’s over now. There is no distance.

It’s bad enough that the Democrats are getting rid of their dead weight, making themselves nimbler and more lightweight to fight as the supposedly morally cleansed party against a GOP that elected Trump and is probably going to elect Moore, but now we have a new wrinkle.

Brutal Alabama Ad Hits Roy Moore As a "Predator" (VIDEO)

 

President Trump is recording robocalls to convince Alabama voters to support Moore. (First reported by Politico, later confirmed by Fox News.)

He has been tweeting his support for Moore, going as far as to say America “needs” him, and he was boostering for Moore in his Pensacola rally on Friday night. Assuming he goes through with the call, it will be an even further, a much further step into the morass.

"To put it more succinctly, Roy Moore is the GOP’s to have and to hold, in December and next November, in sickness and in poor mental health, for riches, for Breitbart, to be mentioned in every campaign forever and ever, never to part."

A lot of allegations from the left. Absolutely no proof.

You would have to say all 8 women are lying and that you can prove it. You cannot.

Can you prove they are telling the truth? Didn't think so. Good thing we are in a country that follows the principle of innocent until proven guilty.

I do know one of the accusers was forging a yearbook for nefarious reason.

You continue to ask and answer your own questions. Sounds like you have settled on a truth that works for you. good luck.

This is what happens. Someone is sexually abused. They want to report it, but are told, that they must have done something to cause it, or are lying and have ulterior motives.

Yes, this happens, and it is a bad thing.  But there is no evidence that I have read that suggests this happened in the situation involving Roy Moore.  No one is willing to get on a stand and accuse him.  Therefore, until someone does, it is simply hearsay.  Right?  Isn’t that the way it works in America?  Innocent until proven guilty.  And if he’s guilty, throw the book at him and toss him under the jail, I say.  

But if no one is willing to face him in court, then... he walks.  Even if he did wrong in the past, he will go free.  Not saying you have to like it, but it is the law.

The left is always crying about reforming the criminal justice system. To many innocent people getting locked up. Now they are saying accusations are enough. No need for any due process or trial. 

 

At least they are constantly inconsistent. (thats the polite way of putting it)

Perhaps Alabama will do the right thing.

 

Long term I also think that would be the "right thing" for the Republican Party. Unless their plan all along is to get him elected, kick him out and then let the Governor appoint someone else.  Even then though, they wouldn't score points for their integrity and morality.

We don't know that no one is willing to get on the stand,  the statute of limitations has expired on the original crimes, he will never see jail.   These women have shown incredible bravery for no personal benefit. 

It could be that a civil case comes up or if he is seated, a Senate Ethics investigation.
