Seems to me this is their issue. I never understood why a bunch of guys in Chicago care about a single senator from Alabama. The guy in his trailer with the confederate flag does not care about Dick Durbin.

It's still our country though.

What if Michigan elected a Senator who said he was in favor of Sharia Law? Just say "that's Michigan's issue"?

Agree with this. A Senator represents their state while working for the entire country. If it was a state senator, I would have no issues with that.

He is up 10-12% in just about every polling average right now and will soon become a US Senator.

Yeah, but Hillary...

Honestly, McCain can't croak soon enough. That warmongering piece of shit got the ball rolling when he nominated Palin.

Who knew that the Republican party would morph into an extremist party via nominating a moderate in McCain.


I'm sorry, but that started decades earlier with his Arizona hero, Barry Goldwater & then Nixon's Southern Strategy. I've heard a number of progressives lately state as you did & it's driving me nuts.



Yep. GOP chose their path about 50 years ago. There hasn't been much deviation since then either.

It probably should be examined how the many elected democrats over the last 50 years have changed so little. The GOP as bogeyman is not working.

They elected a black President 9 years ago. That would not have happened 50 years ago.

Yeah the right has there share of misses not even counting Trump. Examine more closely the snails pace that society improves. It is not just some right wing that governs that rate of evolution. There have been plenty of democrats at the wheels of power.

Roy Moore says the gay marriage ruling was worse than the Dred Scott decision. I guess we should be glad he isn't a proponent of the Dred Scott decision.

I'm pretty sure that we will eventually find out that he is a closeted homo. It's almost a certainty with guys like him.

Jeff Flake just announced he is retiring. He sees the direction the wind is blowing and he wants no part in this shit.

Apparently Roy Moore likes to diddle kids too. He should have became a priest instead of a judge.

Quote:
Four women have come forward alleging Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore had inappropriate sexual conduct with them while they were in their teens, according to a Washington Post investigation.

Leigh Corfman, one of the women, alleged that she and Moore had a sexual encounter while she was only 14 in 1979, a time when Moore was a 32-year-old assistant district attorney, WaPo reported Thursday.

According to Corfman’s account, the two met while she was sitting outside the Alabama courtroom. Moore offered to watch her while her mother had to enter the room for a child custody hearing.

Corfman and Moore eventually exchanged numbers and went out to his home in the woods a few days after, during which he kissed her. On their second interaction, Corfman alleged Moore took off both of their clothes, kissed her, and moved her hand to touch his genitals over his underwear.

Three other women have come forward as well to allege similar circumstances. Wendy Miller said Moore met her while she was a 14-year-old Secret Santa helper and asked her to go out when she turned 16. Another woman, Debbie Wesson Gibson, said Moore asked her out when she was 17 and they kissed, but did not engage in sexual intercourse. Gloria Thacker Deason said she and Moore began going on dates when she turned 18.

Moore has flatly denied all the accusations, calling them “fake news.”

“These allegations are completely false and are a desperate political attack by the National Democrat Party and the Washington Post on this campaign,” Moore said in a statement.

I assume he'll still win. I doubt it will make anybody in Alabama vote Dem, but hopefully it will make enough people just not vote for him.

Unless he drops out (doubtful) he will definitely win. Remember Marion Berry? People are very forgiving when it suits their interest.

Okay friend let me explain something since you seem to be new here, hebephilia is NOT the same thing as pedophilia. I'm sick and tired of you trolls popping up everywhere and spreading BLATANT misinformation. In many countries hebephilia is considered normal and healthy and human beings have a natural attraction to girls who are going through puberty. being attracted to girls who are pre-pubescent is fucking sick and disgusting but only in the us does there seem to be this unwarranted taboo around healthy and normal male sexuality.
