Roy Moore 3rd rail?

[Kirwan]

Simple logic:

 

[badlatitude]

These accusations don't happen in a vacuum.  Aside from the ration of horrendous shit that gets dumped on someone who makes such an accusation, they are liable to some pretty nasty defamation cases.  Remember candidate Trump promising to sue his accusers after the election?  He has every right to do so, and they have every right to raise the defense of "the truth".  I'm guessing that the Pride of New York will get around to suing them right around the time that Sean Hannity gets waterboarded for charity.  

I said shortly after the Franken story broke that he needed to resign, and I've seen or heard nothing to change my mind.  I also think that Farenhold or whatever the pajama boy is called, should resign, as should anyone who paid off claims with public funds, as should Trump.  

Moore should be elected, as punishment to the GOP for supporting him.  

I disagree, I think when we start giving anonymous accusers credence and compel our legislators to resign without an investigation or proof, we fell overboard and just don't know it yet. Trump, Moore, and Conyers had accusers not afraid to come forward and offer evidence, that's a big difference and besides, how do we know this isn't the work of a partisan attempt to damage people?

He should sue them. That would make me change my mind.

That's exactly what he should do.

Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth (both Ds and from ILL) have called for Franken to step down.

 

[Bus Driver]

He should resign for the good of the country.

So should Trump. And, if Moore wins, he should, too. 

But, they won’t. Your Party is showing its true colors and they have no convictions except craven power grabbing. 

 

[Sol Rosenberg]

That's exactly what he should do.

Yes, IF, and only if, the accusers are full of shit and just doggy styling/repeating until true.  He knows the truth.  If he did it, he needs to step aside.  If not, he needs to defend himself and force them to prove the allegations.  

 

[Bus Driver]

Personally, I’d change “pedophilia” to “child molestation”, but the point remains.

This is the problem with American politicians who suck on the Jesus dong- they all end up  being kiddy fiddlers and nothing gets done because they have to be in bed by 6.30 on week nights and the other real reason is $$$

Cash and kiddies, irresistible to the Roy Moores of the world

 

[Raz'r]

To review the bidding:

Pelosi calls on Conyers to step down.  He announces his resignation

Several female D Senators call on Franken to resign.  Outcome awaited

Over a dozen women accuse Trump of sexual harassment.  He remains POTUS

Trump and the RNC go all in defending Roy Moore

Hmmmm

There are good people on both sides.

Finally this great comment;

"We have buried the bar so low that NOT electing a pedophile is a great achievement for the GOP"

and

Republicans Agree: 9 Out Of 10 Alabama Children Never Even Seen Roy Moore’s Dick!

Platform:

1. Stites Rats!

2. Small gubmint. 

3. Old enough to bleed, old enough to breed. 

Well, on one hand you have a Democrat who prosecuted some guys who bombed a church full of blacks...no doubt the basis for Trump's claim that he is "soft on crime"...and a "liberal", and on the other we have a twice failed judge with a penchant for 9th grade girls. Let's have some sympathy for the fine people of Alabama on that one. Not that it's a close call, or anything.

Here's the problem, this only hands Republicans a new weapon where they will find bimbo's willing to make accusations and get resignations, while Republicans look away and refuse any accountability of their own. So, for the time being, I'm going to withhold a commitment for resignation, that is, unless Farenthold and Trump resign, and then I say clean up the whole swamp.

Pictures and witnesses ain't "bimbos"!

 

[Bent Sailor]

Pictures and witnesses ain't "bimbos"!

Who said they were? He clearly states that if Democrats do make it policy to resign in the face of accusations and Republicans do not, then the Republicans "will find bimbos to make accusations and get resignations". It's a prediction, numb-nuts, which is why it's in future tense.

Mark Foley must be bummed about his timing.

There are good people on both sides.

Many people are saying it.  Believe me.
