Not only he would have withdrawn, he would be investigated and jailed like Weiner was. Republicans don't have any standards, they play the victim even when they are the criminal. When all those Trump accusers came out, Breitbart was blaming the media and whatabouting Clinton as if someone else's alleged crimes vindicate your own admission of criminal act.
Seriously? You might want to read up on a guy named Bill Clinton. Or Ted Kennedy. Or Chris Dodd. Or Lyndon Johnson. Or JFK. I could go on. It's a one way standard, just like with corruption.
Sad, really sad, but none the less true. The best and brightest don't go anywhere near the political arena. That said, Moore will never hold a senate seat unless he can prove beyond any doubt that this whole thing is a organized conspiracy. That, IMO, is impossible to do at this point. Even if he would somehow win the election, they'll employ whatever political gymnastics they need to in order to void that election. I also have to say that with all these allegations he does appear to be in the same club as Bubba. Unfortunately for him he doesn't have the voting record which would garner the, ladies, you got to take one for the team support. He's done.
Justice Clarence Thomas had to deal with lies from an ungrateful asskisser whose career he had sponsored. They come up with this garbage for every republican who has not lived the Mike Pence lifestyle. Bush 41, Reagan, McCain, Trump, they all had women with lurid stories, some more believable than others.
I agree... I am talking now, not in the past. Obviously in the past, the mainstream media would not cover these type of lurid stories.
15 Nov, 2017 15 Nov, 2017 Judge Roy Moore, the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate in Alabama, publicly responded to Sean Hannity’s ultimatum to prove himself innocent of allegations of sexual misconduct decades ago on Wednesday. Hannity, on his Tuesday television show, addressed Moore, whom he had as a guest on the radio the day before, personally, saying, “For me, the judge has 24 hours. … You must remove any doubt. If you can’t do this, then Judge Moore needs to get out of this race.” In an open letter addressed to Hannity and released on Twitter hours shy of that deadline, Moore responds, “I am suffering the same treatment other Republicans have had to endure,” and that “A month prior to the general election for U.S. Senate in Alabama, I have been attacked by the Washington Post and other liberal media in a desperate attempt to smear my character and defeat my campaign.” The Judge relied on several of the defenses he previously used, writing: Over the last 40 years I have held several public offices, including Deputy District Attorney, Circuit Judge, and Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. In addition to running five statewide and three county campaigns for public office, I have been involved in two major controversies that attracted national attention, one about the Ten Commandments and the other the sanctity of marriage. And he introduced new ones, for the first time calling into question the most serious allegation against him and the authenticity of his purported inscription in the then 16-year-old girl’s high school year book. The passage, which she, the now 56-year-old Beverly Young Nelson, claims he wrote before offering her a ride home and then attempting to force her to perform a sex act on him in his car, reads,”To a sweeter, more beautiful girl I could not say ‘merry Christmas.’” Moore attempts to pick apart Nelson’s story in the letter, claiming she came before him in 1999 seeking a divorce, a case she lost, and made no mention of it in her nationally televised press conference with superstar attorney Gloria Allred: We are in the process of investigating these false allegations to determine their origin and motivation. For instance, we have documented that the most recent accuser, Beverly Nelson, was a party in a divorce action before me in Etowah County Circuit Court in 1999. No motion was made for me to recuse. In her accusations, Nelson did not mention that I was the judge assigned to her divorce case in 1999, a matter that apparently caused her no distress at a time that was 18 years closer to the alleged assault. Yet 18 years later, while talking before the cameras about the supposed assault, she seemingly could not contain her emotions. Echoing comments made by many online observers of the yearbook inscription, and his own attorney, Moore continues: My signature on the order of dismissal in the divorce case was annotated with the letters “D.A.,” representing the initials of my court assistant. Curiously the supposed yearbook inscription is also followed by the same initials—”D.A.” But at that time I was Deputy District Attorney, not district attorney. Those initials as well as the date under the signature block and the printed name of the restaurant are written in a style inconsistent with the rest of the yearbook inscription. The “7’s” in “Christmas 1977” are in a noticeably different script than the “7’s” in the date “12-22-77.” I believe tampering has occurred. Moore’s legal team announced Wednesday that they will demand Allred release to them that yearbook for forensic analysis. Moore ends the letter with yet another blanket denial of wrongdoing and a reference to his proposed civil litigation against the media, writing, “I adamantly deny the allegations of Leigh Corfman and Beverly Nelson, did not date underage girls, and have taken steps to begin a civil action for defamation. Because of that, at the direction of counsel, I cannot comment further.” In addition to the two women mentioned above, three others have claimed Moore took them on dates that involved no physical contact beyond hugs and kisses, when they were teenagers but older than the age of consent. Yet another claimed Wednesday that Moore grabbed her buttocks when she was a grown woman in the 1990s. http://www.breitbart.com/2018-elect...nity-after-fox-news-host-gives-him-ultimatum/
Unless they can come up with something after 1982. Statue of limitations was extended to infinity for sex crimes in AL. after that. Actual sex crimes like rape, sexual assault. Making unwanted advances is not a sex crime. Discrimination is not a sex crime. Dating of age teenagers is not a sex crime.(All of Hollywood breaths a sigh of relief on that one)
Nothing that has been alleged remotely comes close to a sex crime. If it does every fraternity boy at the university of Alabama could have been prosecuted.
