Well, if Moore manages to pull out a victory, I think it says that GOP supporters don't consider the Washington Post to be a credible news source.

You may think that, but condition A (Moore victory) does not necessarily imply B (not credible source). Hope this helps.

It doesn't say anything about the Democratic party, Republicans who don't like Moore may not vote but it's very unlikely they would ever vote for a democrat. Alabama is the most republican state in the union.

Logic is not his forte. He is only capable of partisan word vomit.

Ol' Roy (isn't that a dog food brand at Walmart?) simply said to the 14 year old girl, "Would you like to provide the "guidance system" for my missile?

Considering im in Alabama, I obviously never argued in favor of that myth. But nice job trying to deflect from how wrong you are LOL.

The pressure is really on the people of Alabama. They can either write in the name of someone else, vote for the Democrat or vote for Moore and be know as people who put party over country, decency, who back back wood bible thumping, possible pedophile over normal person.

That is exactly the situation they're in.

I bet they elect Moore.

Add to this, the accusation had been corroborated by friends and family the girl had told long ago. His interview with Hannity pretty much confirmed he socialized with teens when he was in his 30s. Is it so far-fetched to think he would take advantage of a 14 year old when he already admitted to dating other teenagers? For me, no. And for most people with half a brain, no. We don’t need a jury to tell us how to judge a man’s character. This isn’t a court of law.

You can set up an artificially high bar for judging Moore’s character all you want. We all know you are just twisting yourself to defend your political darling. It’s entertaining, but ultimately pathetic.

So what about Alabama voters believing Roy Moore (or as some said, they don’t even care if the allegations were true)? While there are many reasonable and learned voters in Alabama, the reailty is that the state has a habit of electing corrupt politicians. Majority of the voters really only care if a candidate checks off the church/anti-lgbt/pro-life boxes. They will set up an artificially high bar before condemning a politician that passed the family values test, and rationalize away all indicators of bad behavior until something goes horribly awry, like a criminal conviction. It’s not surprising that high level state politicians like Hunt, Seigelman, Bentley, Hubbard, and Moore have been put in important state offices in AL. Roy Moore certainly checks all the boxes and will probably do ok in Alabama politics. But that doesn’t mean the rest of the US cannot condemn his behavior, and call him out as a creep.

And I certainly hope this helps. All the best.
He dated teenage girls.
OMG he raped teenage girls!
He liked to hang out at the mall.
OMG he sought out venues!
He went to the mall more once
OMG he had a pattern!

How many 14 year olds did he date?
One.
