Alabama Megathread: Bombshell allegations

[Virginiá]

What amazing times we live in for an Alabama megathread to have 60+ pages, with a second thread likely needed through election day.

Can I please extend my co-ownership of this current thread to the next one? I have a very big ego.

The only reason the Bushes are irrelevant is because they are both failed presidents. Hell, if Dubya hadn't been such a failure, Jeb Bush might be president right now.

I never even voted for Ted Kennedy, but ok.

Sure, why not. Create a new one now even (and just let it go empty until needed), and when this one gets to 77 - 78 posts, PM me with the link again and I will sticky it/etc

It just typical whataboutism.

The fact remains is that people like Arkansas are ok with having a pedophile represent them in the US Senate.

Considering how the VA-Gov thread added 50+ pages in the last two days, I wouldn't be surprised if we end going through 3 threads by December 13th

[Holy Unifying Centrist]

I actually really dislike Moore.  But I will not agree to turn the Senate over to the Democrats.

Again please do not preach morality to me when you folks elected Ted Kennedy over and over for over 40 years.  You also wanted to sneak Bill back into the White House.  I am not sure you will not try that again.

At least Republicans decked the influence pedaling Bushes. You still have to get rid of your influence pedaling Clintons. Take care of your own business.

I know we still need to get rid of the Bush grandchild in Texas.

Instinctively, I will never believe the Washington Post, a house organ of the Democrat Party, did not have the story before the primary.

I would respect my fellow Republicans a lot more if they didn't do stupid ass deflections like this.

Can we please have some morals?

[Doimper]

Do we know if the poll Enten alluded to is the JMC one due to come out tomorrow?

[Cynthia]

Martha Coakley!

[Crumpets]

Martha Coakley!

Martha Coakley, if Martha Coakley had been found to have molsted teenage boys.

[MT Treasurer]

Expect to see a lot more of this in next year's elections.

Anyway, pretty obvious that the Senate is in play now, and that's precisely what Republican Senate candidates in some of those "red" states should emphasize in 2018. This really seems to be a cursed Senate class for the GOP.

[Attorney General, Senator-Elect, & Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

^ The Senate is only in play if Moore actually loses, or if Phil Bredesen runs in TN. Ceiling is 50-50 otherwise; Dems don't have a strong candidate in UT and thinking TX will flip is silly.

[The Other Castro]

I would guess so.

Not really, no. UT and MS could certainly become competitive, maybe TX as well (though that is unlikely). And the average voter is not a political junkie, lol.

So the literal city councilwoman that dems are nominating in Utah is going to beat Hatch/Romney? ROFL

Harry Enten of 538 says Doug will lead in new poll tomorrow :

If Hatch retires and Romney runs, it's over. But if Hatch runs again, all bets are off, because he's even less popular with the Utah base than Trump was last year.

When I get back home I’m going to teach you a history lesson,ALL of this stuff I’m posting will be facts I have learned from volunteering for the National park service as a costume history interpreter.

This is the best satire account ever

Want to know something I volunteer at fort Vancouver in Vancouver Washington and yes it’s a national park. In the 1820s-1860s the men who could read and write who were clerks they didn’t get married till they were 35-45 years old! They marrying young girls as young as 12! Roy Moore was not 40 dating 12-16 year olds he was dating 17-23 yearolds when he was 29-38. Moore has done nothing wrong yet!

Could be Atticus Finch (D) vs Jeffrey Dahmer (R), it don't matter to this enlightened soul!

Listen I agree it’s extremely odd that at fort Vancouver 40 year old men were hooking up with 14 year olds.
Okay but here is a serious question if you’re 17 and you marry or date a 30 year old man does that offend you?

[Kamala]

Yes? There's a reason why these older men date teenagers; they are creepy and seek power and affirmation by exploiting girls who do not know better or are unable to act because that man holds a position of power (cough cough ROY F[INKS]ING MOORE the assistant DA cough cough). Women these men's ages won't date them, so these men go and prey on young girls.


Also, don't try to lie and make it seem like Moore was dating women 17-23. He was dating women aged 16, 17, and 18. He initiated sexual contact with a FOURTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL. He was preying on these young girls BECAUSE he knew they wouldn't be able to do anything about, or know to do something about it.


I don't understand why you are trying to protect a man who used his age, power, and status in the community to manipulate and exploit teenagers for his own sexual pleasure.

Greedo to the police: "Actually, it's hebephilia! Not pedophilia!"

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Can we please not bother replying to Greedo? It's clear he and Arkansas Yankee have no real problem with child molesters in the US Senate, so let it be.

We have reached Peak Greedo, just put him on ignore and he's been essentially defending pedophilia here.

Dude if the stuff with the 14 year old gets comfirmed then I will not support Moore but right now we’re false accusing him.
