I must admit that I just heard one of his high school classmates speak and she said she did not believe the accusations. She said she had never heard any of this and she lives in the town.

I do believe he dated teen-aged girls. I find that troubling--but it is not pedophilia.

There are two women who have accused him, and, while I find them believable, I am not 100% convinced. I do not like Moore and I would not vote for him, but I just don't understand how this could have been kept quiet for so long. Unlike Weinstein, he had no power over these girls for forty years. Yes, at the time, it would have been difficult for them to challenge him, but for forty years?

People in his home town still support him. The media says that it was well known in that town that he liked teenaged girls.. That does not make sense. If it were well known, they would not support him.

No endorsement of Moore. Just questioning the circumstances. There are some pieces missing in this story.

Sincere questions. Why do you think that Moore and others like him are the saviors of the party? Why are you more interested in taking the party further to the Right when all the evidence points to the fact that the Right Middle is the best long term position for the party to be? Finally, what about Moore convinces you that he can be an effective legislator?

Moore is not a savior of the party, but he represents conservative values and we need more, not less, of that in the republican party. Capitalism and Conservatism wins.

The country has gone too far left so it takes a larger swing to the right to get the country back on the right track.

The GOP establishment has determined that "Middle of the road" is the best long term position" and that kind of stinking-thinking is what put Romney and Jeb Bush on the ballot as candidates: losing, lukewarm, uninspiring candidates who are repugnant to conservatives because they are basically RINOs, and repugnant to Democrats simply because they have an (R) by their name. Luckily, Jeb Bush did not win the republican primary or we would be seeing Hillary Clinton in office today.

What convinces me that Moore could be an effective legislator is that 1) he has the correct conservative lens to filter legislation to get the right laws passed and the wrong laws blocked, such as the transgendered garbage springing up, and 2) he is smart enough to learn the ropes and do what needs to get done. His experience as a judge makes him quite qualified, certainly more than that jackass Obama.ever was.

The conservative values of pedophilia?

If you are one of those people that asks "Why did they wait 40 years" please take the time to talk with survivors of sexual abuse. It destroyed the victims to varying degrees and all have had ongoing problems. Many never discuss it. I was raped 34 years ago and will never discuss it.

I'm sorry.
That's exactly how rapists are free to continue raping. Perhaps if his victim before you had found the strength to report, he would not have been free to continue raping his victims.

Your thoughts?

Thanks for answering. I guess I just get a different vibe. As a judge, he openly defied the Constitution, federal and state law - not real Conservative actions. And based on what I have read about him, he is not your typical GOP capitalist (who tend to be more "establishment") in that they do not let moral and religious views constrain their capitalistic bent. So he is an evangelical conservative. Ok. But evidence shows that evangelical legislators do not have the best legislative track record. They tend to propose things that have no way of getting passed and they tend to obstruct mutually compromised legislation. Given that most people want Congress to work together to get things done and have given it a poor approval rating, electing someone who plays into that polarization won't help. And let's be honest, it will tough for him to get anything done for Alabama because his own party will be lined up against him. And establishment GOPs are not worried about voter backlash in Alabama because it always votes GOP. That's why they are being so aggressive with him now. So...Alabamans will elect someone who philosophically agrees with them but who will have no real impact in furthering their interests in the Senate. I may be wrong but that is what I see from here and I am an "establishment GOP"

I have to agree that you are most likely correct in your assessment. There are 2 factions in the Republican party: The McConnells, McCains, and compromising Corkers, and then there are, I guess "Tea Party-esque"? Republicans. If Moore gets elected, he will have to choose a side to work with, and it will be interesting to see who he sides with.

McConnell has many strings he can pull, and many connections to call upon to get what he wants. This is also what makes me think the rape allegations are false: Once Moore was elected, McConnell, in one of the many backrooms, would call Moore into the room and say, "Roy Boy! Guess what some girls I found are saying about your roaming hands 40 years ago? How about you play ball my way or some friends of mine in the media --all hungry dogs who would just love to chomp down on a sexual misconduct bone I throw them, will be broadcasting all across America? Now, as you will soon learn, it is the McConnel Way, or the highway....which you want it Roy Boy?"
