Poll: Judge Roy Moore leads competitors in runoff

[William Tell]

Do you think reporters would NOT ask Anthony Weiner a pedo question in an interview today?

If Moore was convicted and sent to prison like Weiner you'd have a point. Alleged personal scandals go away after they've been proven ineffective at stopping a candidate. This is all about beating Moore.

I am not aware of Weiner being accused of pedophilia, and Moore certainly hasn't been. Are you sure you know what that means?

Both of these people are accused of this on just about a daily basis depending on which website you visit.

Websites can claim anything... I refer to actual accusers. None of the accusations are actually pedophilia.
Then again, Weiner was texting pics of his junk to illegal aged girls, Moore might have asked young but legal girls out on dates. Conflating the two is just as fraudulent as pedo accusations.

This is correct. No one that has come forward has actually called either a "pedophile" as far as I know, it's simply been implied and the media has ran with it for maximum effect. They are both accused by many people and websites on a daily basis of being such, regardless of it being true or not, or the original accusers ever stating it.

From The Dale Jackson Show on WVNN.

Tuesday on Huntsville, AL radio’s WVNN’s “The Dale Jackson Show,” Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) argued the allegations aimed at GOP U.S. Senate hopeful Roy Moore were nothing more than an effort of character assassination and wouldn’t hold up in court.
http://www.breitbart.com/video/2017/...nature-forged/

Mo Brooks:

Dale, racial division, character assassination – those kinds of things are at the heart of every Democratic campaign. And this instance – they will know that with the aid of the mainstream news media that character assassination works. You know, I’ve been a litigator in a court of law where you try to ascertain the truth for over three decades. I was a prosecutor in the Tuscaloosa County District Attorney’s office. I was the District Attorney in Madison County. When I was in the private sector, I represented criminal defendants when I was appointed to do so by judges.

And I represented people in civil court in normal litigation – person versus person or business. And my evaluation of the evidence is that there is only the remotest of possible chances that if this went to a court of law that jury would find Roy Moore guilty of anything. That’s how flimsy the evidence is and if I were ordered by a judge to choose which side I wanted based on who I thought would win in front of a 12-person jury of our peers, I would in a heartbeat jump on Roy Moore’s side because that’s where I think the evidence is.

But what you have is the mainstream left-wing socialist Democrat news media trying to distort the evidence to cause people to reach the conclusion that Roy Moore engaged in unlawful conduct with a minor. And my analysis of the evidence is that is not the case. Most importantly, the media likes to say ‘well, there are nine complainers.’ Seven of them aren’t complainers. In fact, I would be calling seven of those ladies as witnesses on behalf of Roy Moore on the issue of whether he is engaged in any kind of unlawful conduct.

There are only two that have asserted that Roy Moore engaged in unlawful conduct. One of those is clearly a liar because that one forged the ‘Love, Roy Moore’ part of a yearbook in order to try to for whatever reason get at Roy Moore and win this seat for the Democrats, and there’s a lot more to it as to why I believe that the evidence is almost [incontrovertible] about whether the yearbook was forged.

So, now you’re down to one witness who said that Roy Moore engaged in nonconsensual sexual contact, OK? Well, that one witness’ testimony is in direct and stark contrast with that of the other seven ladies, who said that he acted like an officer and a gentleman...

Then you missed the thing where he was texting with an underage female. Which is pedophilia in this brave new world we're forging together.

A man who served in Vietnam with now-Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, and who is now a lawyer, has some interesting things to say about the judge's character. The question is, do we want to hear the truth?

“Stop me if you've heard this one before,” writes columnist Paul Mulshine.
“Alabama U.S. Senate candidate Roy Moore walked into a brothel ...
... and then he walked right back out.”
“That's the account I got from Bill Staehle, a lawyer living in Asbury Park [N.J.] who served in Vietnam with Moore in the early 1970s,” Mulshine continued.
Mulshine spoke to Staehle after the attorney wrote a recent open letter to Alabama voters relating his knowledge of Moore’s character. Staehle, now 70, knew Moore from a base just outside Da Nang. Both men were captains in the 504th Military Police Battalion at the time.

Staehle considers Moore a man of sterling integrity, writing, “I served with Roy Moore in Vietnam in 1971-72, where I knew him to be an altogether honorable, decent, respectable, and patriotic commander and soldier.” One incident in particular, however, stands out in his mind. As he related in his open letter:
While in Vietnam, there came a time when another officer invited Roy and me to go with him into town after duty hours for a couple of beers. That officer had just returned from an assignment in Quang Tri Province north of Danang, and we were interested to learn of his experiences.
I had not met him before, and I don’t believe Roy had either. On other occasions with other officers, we would go to the officers’ club at the air force base, but on this occasion, he told us he knew of another place in town.
When we arrived at the place and went inside, it was clear to Roy and me that he had taken us to a brothel. That officer appeared to know people there, as he was greeted by one or two young women in provocative attire.
The place was plush. There were other American servicemen there. Alcohol was being served. There were plenty of very attractive young women clearly eager for an intimate time.
In less time than it took any of the women to approach us, Roy turned to me and said words to this effect, “We shouldn’t be here. I am leaving.”
Moore and Staehle, just 24 years old at the time, did in fact leave.
Staehle doesn’t believe the allegations against the Senate candidate. And while he hadn’t heard from his old buddy in years since Vietnam, his letter prompted a call from Moore. As Staehle related to Mulshine, “He said to me, ‘Bill, I’m telling you, these allegations are not true.’”
This satisfied Staehle. As he put it, “You don’t lie to a guy you went to war with.”
Nonetheless, Staehle has more informing his opinion than just a brother-in-arms bond. He has his experience, too, having been a lawyer for 42 years and currently supervising 44 attorneys in his position at a major insurance company. And this background causes him to wonder about one of Moore’s accusers, Leigh Corfman, who claimed Moore behaved inappropriately with her when she was 14. Referring to a recent televised interview with her on the Today Show, Staehle told Mulshine, “I know when somebody is meticulously prepared and when the witness is using words that don’t seem to suit where she's coming from…. I prepare witnesses as well as depose witnesses. It was clear she was very well prepared.”
Staehle said that this doesn’t mean Corfman is or isn’t lying. But with “‘the passage of time, the story changes,’ he said. ‘I see that in my litigation all the time. People exaggerate things. They add to the story,’” related Mulshine.

“Moore Accusers Have Ties to Drug Dealers, Washington Post”

Then there’s ex-Gadsden, Alabama, police officer Faye Gary, who claimed she’d been told to watch Moore in the late ’70s and keep him away from “cheerleaders” but then admitted she was just relating “rumor.” Not only did my news-making conversation with her reveal that she’s a staunch anti-Moore ideologue, but she also reportedly has ties to the drug-dealing underworld. Her two sons, who have different last names, both were arrested for distributing illegal drugs; one was shot to death before he could go to trial while the other is currently in a federal penitentiary, reported One America News Network.
Perhaps even more telling, Gary’s brother, Jimmy Wright, was arrested in 1981 for distributing controlled substances — and Roy Moore was the prosecutor in his case.

15 is not pedophilia. Pedophilia requires a pre-pubescent victim, and the customary cutoff is 13.

Liberal media now saying Moore is not conservative because he refused to vote for George Bush and John McCain for President and probably voted for Chuck Baldwin. So wish I could vote in AL.

Roy Moore refused to support these Republican candidates




A prominent Alabama Republican says he hasn't decided which candidate he will vote for in the general election and he has no plans to endorse either the Republican or the Democrat.

"I'm not taking a side in the Democratic-Republican controversy right now," he said.

Only the Republican candidate in that controversy -- it wasn't Roy Moore he was talking about.

Rather, it was Roy Moore who was doing the talking.

The Republican then, in case you were wondering, was George W. Bush, running against John Kerry in 2004. That year, Alabama voters picked Bush over Kerry almost 2-to-1.

But when asked by a reporter in 2004 whom he planned to vote for, Moore wasn't so decisive. Instead, he was ambivalent.

"I haven't really had any connection with Kerry or Bush personally, other than the party affiliation that I have with the Republican Party," Moore said in 2004.

Maybe it's no big deal that, at one point in his life, Moore wasn't the ardent conservative he purports to be today. Like a lot of Alabama politicians, he had been a Democrat himself before switching to the GOP.

But this indecisiveness -- it lingered another four years, at least. In 2008, he couldn't make up his mind about John McCain or Barack Obama. When a reporter asked, he refused to say which candidate, if either, had won his vote.

Perhaps part of Moore's political identity crisis had to do with his flirtations with the Constitution Party, a flailing and failing third-party. Some of its members courted Moore to run as their candidate.

Roy Moore leads Alabama Senate race among likely voters

A new CBS News poll finds 71 percent of Alabama Republicans say the allegations against Roy Moore are false, and those who believe this also overwhelmingly believe Democrats and the media are behind those allegations.

The poll found 92 percent of Republicans who don't believe the allegations against Moore say the Democrats are behind the charges, and 88 percent say newspapers and the media are behind them.

Multiple women have come forward to accuse Moore of inappropriately pursuing or touching them when they were teenagers. The youngest woman to accuse Moore says she was 14 and he was 32 at the time.

The Senate contest looks to be highly dependent on turnout. Moore has a lead over Democrat Doug Jones, 49 percent to 43 percent, among the likely voters who are most apt to vote on Dec. 12. Among all registered voters, the contest is even. And nearly a quarter of voters still describe themselves as "maybe" or "probably" going to vote.

Good guess. But are there any voters who didn't believe all the the others who will the next one? Roy did lag behind in the polls for a while, a lot of people believed the allegations until they looked into them deeper. They might have to hit him with something unrelated, way out of left field at this point and now that he's so demonized he's probably immune like Trump was by the end. They played their hand too early.

They did. Refuing to release the yearbook for independent examination killed them. IMHO. They know it won't clear muster, but if that one point were made it would be the end of it.

McConnell, Graham back off calls for Moore to drop out

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell dialed back previous statements he has made about Alabama's Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore — who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, including one who was 14 at the time of the alleged event— saying he'll let Alabama voters decide Moore's fate.

Sen. Lindsey Graham also retreated from past comments, saying, "We can't stop [Moore] from being seated" on CBS's Face the Nation.

• "I think an ethics investigation would be a smart thing to do. And we'll see what the Ethics Committee decides as to whether they look at behavior before he came into the senate."
• "Does that matter? If they do, what did they find? We'll see."
• "If there was an investigation and all six members of the committee said they believe he was a child molester, that would be a problem."

Moore's been hammering that point almost every single day on Twitter counting how long Gloria Allred has refused to let it be examined. I think that's a big part of why people are seeing through the smears.

I predict bestiality or necrophilia claims.

Surely there is a case of a missing teenager in Alabama from that time frame that they can associate with him.

Radio network news is still going with the story that McConnell believes the accusers.

Media keeps ringing the bell.
