Roy Moore 3rd rail?

[badlatitude]

No, live with the fact that AL wants no part of a Dem candidate.

No, I refuse to live with the fact that Republicans put a child molester in the Senate.

 

[badlatitude]

Someone get this troubled member a number to the suicide hotline.  

I'm glad that you're good with a child molester in the Senate. But I've got news for you, come November there will be a Senate investigation by the majority Democratic Party and we'll settle that for once and for all.

Knowingly, and willingly put a child molester in the Senate.....

 

[Raz'r]

Does the fact that he was dropped from the suit prior to the settlement matter?

Regardless, unless you are suggesting this is indicative of how most/all of those suits are handled, you’re being intentionally misleading. 

You’re debating with Tom, right?

 

[Amati]

 Think Carl Sandberg had it right: (I’m paraphrasing)

if you don’t have the facts on your side, argue the law

if you don’t have the law on your side, argue the facts

if you have neither, pound on a table and yell as loud as hell

 

[Spatial Ed]

I assume that Republicans would have no issue with putting someone accused of child molestation in a position of trust, like a teacher or youth pastor as long as he was a conservative.  If he were a democRat, that would be bad.  He wouldn't have to even be accused of child molestation to be disqualified to work with kids.

Yes Moore is creepy. It is becoming clear that Alabama voters do not want a Democrat senator. Live with it! In a perfect world, Roy would resign after swearing in and the Gov would appoint a replacement. But the left would find out or manufacture some grievence against ANY non commie leftist. Facts of life...

You have achieved a new low in partisan stupidity and immorality with that post.

Congratulations.

It's a pretty sorry state for the country that people like you pick creepy perverts who don't believe in the rule of law to represent them in Washington. And you cherish and cheer them all for "librul tears"

I dont live in AL. It is their choice. It will be rather telling how dispicable the Democrat Party really is if AL chooses Moore over a D :lol:

No, it will be rather telling how ignorant Alabama voters are.

Nothing else.

The way you’re spinning the tale, Moore is running 100-0 against the commie librul.

It seems those settlements are imposed on Congresscritterz without their knowledge or consent.

Does the fact that he was dropped from the suit prior to the settlement matter?

Regardless, unless you are suggesting this is indicative of how most/all of those suits are handled, you’re being intentionally misleading. 

The article in the thread about those settlements said:

Packer sued under a federal statute that allows individuals to seek damages against federal officials for violations of civil rights. But Hastings was dropped from the lawsuit in 2012, after he argued that the law didn’t apply to a member of Congress. The suit continued against the commission. 

That looks to me like the lawsuit filed against him was indeed dismissed, just as Hastings said. Because it's apparently OK if Congresscritters violate our civil rights. Does that matter? I guess not. Why shouldn't they violate civil rights, after all?

I don't know whether that OOC action is indicative of how most/all are handled. As the linked article noted,

The settlement involving the accusations against Hastings raises new questions about the secretive and convoluted way Congress handles employee complaints of sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination.

...

But lawmakers seeking to determine the extent of the problem in Congress have been unable to obtain basic information from the administrative offices that oversee House and Senate employees, including who among current members of Congress have been named in complaints.

Recent reports have indicated that lawmakers can bypass official congressional offices to resolve disputes.

But the OOC is the office responsible for handling such things, so however they do it, yes, that's how it's done most/all of the time.

 

[warbird]

Yes, and any woman that has been sexually assaulted will speak out immediately.  These accusations just don't pass the smell test.  

It took an Eastcoast reporter with an agenda to dig up these memories previously buried or forgotten. At least one has partially recanted.

No reporter dug up anything. They did research. And no one has partially recanted anything, they just clarified an anomaly in the yearbook.

Do you really think all of those cases were settled without the knowledge of the accused?

That's what this suggests - "It seems those settlements are imposed on Congresscritterz without their knowledge or consent."

What I wrote does suggest it happened more than once, something I can't prove. It doesn't, at least to me, suggest "all those cases."

Now that I've answered your questions twice, how about answering my question about why his case was dropped?

Does it matter that Congresscritters can't violate a civil rights law simply because they're above it? I was kidding above. It does to me.

We're well aware of that, moron. We're pointing out how despicable it is to vote against a Democrat but not vote against a child molester. If we didn't know Alabama preferred child molesting Republicans over KKK prosecuting Democrats - this thread wouldn't exist you dribbling idiot. Fuck but you gutless right-wing socks on this forum are stupid.

It was not dispicable to vote for a candidate that consorted with terrorists, bogots, racists and murderers(Ayres, Wright, Frohme)? Glass houses and all, eh...........

Didn't vote for him. Not a glass house I'm living in. Try again, moron. 

Child molester vs prosecutor that put KKK terrorists behind bars is not a hard choice for me. Then again, I'm not a slave to the party machine like you and, apparently, the majority of Alabama's voters.

A functioning brain and a modicum of historical knowledge helps too.
