This whole thing stinks of the worst kind of liberal character assassination attempt.

A few weeks before a special election for a senate seat, women are claiming that 30+ years ago, he assaulted them. Not only that but that it happened when they were underage so they're essentially branding him a pedophile.

It's extremely doubtful that after such a long length of time he can show proof that would repudiate these claims so it's basically a he said-she said event.

Next you have the media repeating these claims on a daily basis. When people get tired of that, you have another accuser 'suddenly' come out of the woodwork and the whole thing starts up once again.

They first hit him with the 16 year old. When it was pointed out that 16 is the legal age of consent then the next one was 14 years old. It really looks like a classic character assassination attempt. He doesn't have to be guilty. They just want him publicly saying "I never had inappropriate contact with that teenager". Just the accusation is damaging enough. It is also forcing the GOP to publicly condemn him. Some are not even waiting to see if the charges are true before calling for him to drop out.

It's all made up bs, either by the left or the right.

The timing, and everything about it stinks like a fake made up bs story.

Someone should offer a nice lump sum of money to take a poly and if they pass they get the money..
And do it in a national ad.. So it is a case of put up or STFU.

Read this morning that the state AG declared that if Moore is elected without Republican support the governor would declare the election null and void.

I'm not sure how that would work or if it's even legal to do so but it would cement in voters minds the opinion that the elites of both parties are willing to put aside the voters' choice so that they can maintain power in DC.

I do not think that would end well for the GOPe.

I had this situation (and other 'stories' in the 'news') in mind when I started the "Court of Public Opinion" thread.

When I was young, they called articles "news stories". I think the media has arrived at that description honestly. How much of what is fed to the masses is the truth, and how much is fiction?

After listening to Stefan Molyneux's analysis, I don't believe any of the allegations. The main accuser who claims she was 14 when the allegations happened is a really messed up person: teenage drug use, alcohol and promiscuity. Even her mother said parts of her story were untrue. A phone in her room in 1979?

If his name was Bill Clinton ............ he'd get a slap on the wrist, a wink from the Democratic party, and anyone who wanted a more in depth investigation would disappear. It would be over in a heartbeat.

I hope it's not true ....... I feel that to much time has passed for this to be credible but the damage has been done. The sore loser snow flakes will employ any and all methods regardless of the repugnant nature of those methods to forward their agenda.

I have no plan on looking for the link...

It has been a very busy week for this type of thing. Nearly a dozen officials from mayors on up have been called out on this. A lot of big D's in there.

With the quickness of information to spread, someone is using it to their advantage. I am not amused.
