No. Those ladies all let out secrets that that had infected their lives for decades at last. Now, they can all go on to lead happier lives, and that's all they ever wanted.
They aren't exceptional. Millions of other women do the same every day, exposing their childhood abusers when the right time comes.
The only difference is Moore, not them. At age 70, Moore, if nothing else, was too old to run. He should have retired and let it all go.
More importantly, he already knew from 2012 that the folks who knew him best didn't want him in office; when he ran for his old Judge job and won it in 2012 by 4 points, the only Republican Judge to be opposed, his home county delivered the lowest number of votes for him of any in Alabama.
They knew he was a short-eyes back then. They had seen him hitting on girls at the mall, creeping around at the High School proms, and all of that pervy behavior. They talked about it among themselves all the time for years.
He should have expected there would be someone who couldn't live with her secrets any more when he gave it another try this year.
And even Moore is no exception now. His defeat is nothing but a warning to others who have similar sins in their past and are thinking of running for office.
It's pretty obvious that any wanna-be politician had best make amends with any girls he fooled around with as a first measure of seeking office these days. If not, he'll be sand-trapped just like Roy Moore. Or better yet, they guy might decide not to run at all instead of being outed.
It's a good thing for all of us in the end. We don't need more hypocrites governing us, that's for sure.
If Moore's defeat discourages others like him, we are all better off for it, because our Congressmen will be a cleaner and more honest, more ethical, bunch as a whole.
