Until someone presents evidence other than hearsay, I'll continue to suspect that this was all a political ploy. Continue to suspect all you please,it's a free country... But as you say Chief Justice "top law dawg" most don't want to mess with judges The guys interview with Hannity made him look HORRIBLE all by itself... When a bunch of people in a small town he grew up in right,left,and center all have similair stories to tell...well i will continue to "suspect" aswell 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a 'he said-she said' situation. There was never any substantial, real evidence produced. This should scare people. FWIW, I had the same attitude of 'innocent until proven guilty' toward Al Franken, until the photograph appeared. I stopped defending him at that point. I'm not able to stop defending Mr. Moore's 'innocent until proven guilty' status based on hearsay and two Christmas greetings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was a man who was convicted without evidence, and people are shrugging their shoulders and saying "oh well". He's been accused by questionable witnesses, his reputation has been sullied, and his career has been destroyed. There was no evidence other than a couple of Christmas greetings. In my opinion, the election process should have been delayed until the accusations were proven true or false. I really don't want to see our country going in this direction. Kind of like the Comey release 11 days before the election? No, probably not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simplybill Posted December 30, 2017 #536 Share Posted December 30, 2017 We all remember the 'birther' controversy that was popular during Mr. Obama's campaign. Supposing people had believed those allegations, and Mr. Obama lost the election. After the election, the allegations were proven false. Would there have been an uproar, or would people shrug their shoulders and say, "Oh well, he lost anyway"? The voters in Alabama were swayed by unsubstantiated allegations. We've set a new precedent.

Gromdor Posted December 30, 2017 #541 Share Posted December 30, 2017 Moore is a bit of an odd duck. I'm thinking he might have a slight disconnect from reality that lets him truly believe and thus be able to pass a polygraph. Stuff like, "Is Obama a muslim born in Africa" or "Did God cause 911" I can see him answering yes to and have the polygraph register it as true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranormal Panther Posted December 30, 2017 #544 Share Posted December 30, 2017 22 hours ago, simplybill said: I don't get the impression that Mr. Moore is acting like a guilty man. Compare him to Harvey Weinstein or Anthony Weiner, who checked into rehab, or others that admitted their behavior and offered apologies. Mr. Moore, on the other hand, has steadfastly maintained his innocence the entire time. His coworkers and friends have testified to his good character. If legitimate proof is uncovered that shows some substance to the accusations, then I'll decide if he actually has been deceptive. At this point, the only evidence offered is a couple of Christmas greetings. It's more than a couple Christmas greetings. It's varied accusations from varied women about varied actions that occurred at varied places and varied times. It's a known pattern, as well as reputation, of questionable activities. Even mall employees saw this. I agree with your point that the timing is very suspect, and most of us know that girls and women sometimes falsely accuse boys and men of all kinds of things. I also don't trust Allred's client. That aside, I believe all but one of the women, especially since they told other people, about Moore's alleged actions, in the past. I'm curious to know if you would be a Moore defender if he was a Democrat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until someone presents evidence other than hearsay, I'll continue to suspect that this was all a political ploy. Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart were big TV preachers when I was a kid. They got tons of donations from their fans when they were popular televangelists. Their private proclivities were unknown to most people for years. In fact, some of their fans claimed that the public revelations, about their hidden hypocrisies, were smear campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could be in denial, but that's a big benefit of the doubt. He was evasive when Sean Hannity interviewed him. He only really and truly denied one accusation. It was the allegation that he acted improperly with the fourteen-year-old. He never denied that he dated teen girls when he was in his thirties. He used the Bill Clinton method of "parse and twist" to squirm through that. His evasion was obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
