No wonder Trump is such a fan of Roy Moore. Birds of a feather. Those p***y grabbers have to stick together.

Wouldn’t surprise me at all if men started coming forward claiming Roy Moore assaulted them when they were boys. Moore's extreme, vocal homophobia is suspect.
WHY are they so reluctant to discuss it?!! I don't think that I will ever understand that

The statute of limitations has run out so what would the motive be to bring it up now?
With the revelations of Harvey Weinstein coming out, women are finally saying...that was me too, and they are coming out with their stories of abuse and rape. A 14 year old is a child, what what she supposed to do. She was scared and ashamed and probably just wanted to forget it like most do.

While reading the reports as published I was struck by how much these incidents affected her whole life. She just wanted it to be over, she said. She did discuss it with friends and eventually with her mother. The culture of "forget about it, move on" seems to have come to a halt in the last few days.

That would be the worst thing for the future fortunes of the Republicans, to have Moore elected and seated in the Senate and then have the charges brought and successfully prosecuted. But after that, Alabama would just appoint Strange again, to serve until another special election. If Moore gets booted now, the Democrat would have a good chance at winning the seat.

When you have one brave women speak out then you don't feel alone and will also speak out.

But he's been dead for over a decade.
More importantly, Friedman supported free trade, which conservatives are now against after being for it back in the 70s&80s

These phony christians on the hard right will vote Moore into the senate is my bet. They'd absolutely vote for a child molester with multiple victims if he's a holier than thou charlatan like they are.

And the GOP senate will accept him. Maybe grudgingly, but he'll be one more vote in a slim GOP majority.

Between this scandal and the treasonous Russiagate, the Pubs are making it clear that they've surrendered to tRumpism and that they're much more partisans, not so much Americans.

He’s toast. One woman, maybe. But four accusers?

I don’t see him beating this one.

It is great to see these people coming forward, it must be hellish to be abused like this and have no recourse.
And to suffer the effects for 30+ years!
