Roy Moore, a prosecutor by experience, says he's going to litigate the allegations. Well, a lot of folks don't like sore losers, but Moore says it's the principle of the thing. I don't think Moore has the money required to litigate the lie wholesalers we call "news" nowadays, and it would be best to forget it.
The media has lost substantial credibility and clout for pushing the narrative of the accusers while they are admitting falsifying what they at first called "evidence".
You just can't expect ordinary people not to believe wholesale propaganda.... well, except in JFC perhaps.
I think it's bad form, and intellectually dishonest, to call the charges proven until it is litigated.
It's damn certain neither the accusers nor the media wholesalers of the accusations I call "lies" to go forward with litigation. They have achieved all they wanted to achieve, they're done. It never was the truth that mattered to them.
FWIW, we've had discussions in JFC as to what constitutes lies, with the admin/owners raising the standard that if you believe something and say it, it's not a "lie". My definition is something else. It is something that is untrue, likely known to be untrue, which is useful for some purpose to those asserting it. If there is clearly biased motive in the expression, I tend to call that a "lie", as I think I do in this case.
However, I do think Moore did stuff, just what I have no way of knowing.... forty years ago I think he was a pretty wayward man, before he met Mrs. Moore and took up a Christian profession. I listen to a lot of Pacific Garden Mission tales of coming to Christ, and I tend to think a lot of people are pretty wayward before they come to Chirst. Well, OK..... SOMETIMES.... people do change as they move forward with religious commitment, certainly some may not, or may even get worse.... but they usually drop outta sight as they go back to their old way......
I'm just calling for a reasonable public discussion of things apparently lost in the decades. I think people should be judged by their more recent conduct. I don't think people who will make this kind of stink about all the long ago stuff are honestly concerned about women's lives, the way men treat them, or whatever abuse they have suffered.
It ought to be a rule that stuff that went down long enough ago to be covered by State Law Statues of Limitations, and that can no longer be litigated, should NOT be newsworthy.
And besides, I think, for all we know, Jones is a worse perv. Maybe we'll find out later....... If stuff comes out, I think y'all should howl for him to resign his seat.
But you won't because, possibly, you don't really care about women at all.
I'm really sick of seeing our country jacked by our committed perv Big News honchos/////.
Moore, with his religion out front, has always run narrow races in Alabama. He just raises the hackles of too many ordinary people. Without the national press, he might have lost by ten points not 1.6.
The RINO party fought against him, undermined him, and will find a more moderate candidate next time. So Jones is there until the next election, no longer.
A one year term, that's it. Period.
