Uh oh - Roy Moore hit on teenage girls when in his thirties.

It is interesting how things have changed over the years. My grandfather married my grandmother when she was 15 . And, my good friends father married his mother when she was 14. They both stayed married until they died.

Hell, in those days if you were still single at 20 you were and old maid.

I guess no evidence accusations of sexual abuse will take the place of racism in the lefty tool box since they have pretty much worn racism out.

I guess if there's a (R) next to the name, racism, sex abuse, money laundering, and collusion with a hostile foreign power are nothing so bad....

In particular, (Ds) leveling accusations are always to be ignored, facts be damned. Right?

For proof read the quotes from the Bama Republican leaders justifying Moore's acts from the Bible. Only the guilty invoke God and religion.

Besides it has been established that the four women did not approach Wapo nor did they know one another.

So, you truly believe there is no chance that this is dirty tricks? From the reporting that's coming out now, it was "common knowledge" that Moore dated high school girls.

In a statement to CNN, Teresa Jones, who served as deputy district attorney for Etowah County, Ala., from 1982 until 1985, said that multiple people thought it was unusual that Moore dated high school girls, but that no one ever raised the matter with him.

"It was common knowledge that Roy Moore dated high school girls, everyone we knew thought it was weird," Jones told CNN. "We wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and the mall ... but you really wouldn't say anything to someone like that."

So if it was common knowledge, why doesn't this come out until after the nomination?

And as far as dirty tricks, I wouldn't put it past the Repubs to be involved in this. The establishment Repubs didn't support this guy. This was Bannon's candidate. So, if it is an outcome of a dirty tricks campaign (and we may never know either way) this could either be the Dems trying to mess with the election, or it could be the Repubs trying to take out both Moore and Bannon.

Oh, and to the point above, the more news that comes out about this guy and the more he speaks, the more it looks like Moore is a pervert.

What do you think would have happened if the girls complained then?
We simply do not know. But they are doing it now.

To simplify, if the people do not care today, then Moore is going to get elected. If people take offense, he will not. So why complain about the reporting?

Because he wasn’t a candidate for the US Senate before. The rules of acceptable behavior are no doubt different in the Deep South. I can’t imagine living in such a place, filled with ignorant rednecks and “Christian” hypocrites. He’s now, rightfully, under a microscope at the national level, as any controversial Senate candidate should be. He’d be under the same microscope were he a Democrat. Anthony Weiner, anyone?

That's right. The Pres getting BJ's in the oval office from a 22 year old intern is fine.

Memories are terribly unreliable, even in the short term.

And, the problem with long term memories is that you aren't even remembering the event itself , you are remembering your last memory of it.

It is a good idea to be skeptical of even ones own memories.

Um, that was consensual. Not a crime in any way, shape or form. Do you really not understand the difference?

Not when you do not know the difference between age 14 and age 22, and consensual is not in their vocabulary.

None of the three women say that Moore forced them into any sort of relationship or sexual contact.
