Here is the thing. His Republican opponent in the primaries must have known of these allegations, and chose not to mention them. Why? I can’t say, but it seems most likely to not damage Moore in the General Election.
Who was all too happy to trot them out? Who waited until Moore had secured the nomination? Who may well have contributed to Moore’s campaign, in the hope they would get to throw all this trash at him?
Who else?
My take is that nothing he is accused of is remotely as serious as what the Left was quite willing to excuse Bill Clinton for, and excuse Hillary (who laughed about getting a rapist acquitted by attacking his teenage victim) for, and if this causes Alabama to elect a Democrat, it is nothing but a reward for the very dirty tactics which have made EVERY FUCKING ELECTION such an ordeal and muckraking hell; which have, by design, made substantive policy discussions and public rationality itself all but impossible.
If I were in Alabama, I would vote for Moore in a heartbeat.
And maybe with another vocal and unafraid conservative in Congress we can launch an honest investigation into Uranium One, and just what Clinton’s connection with Jeffrey Epstein truly is.
I do believe in moral standards, but this election is not about moral standards. The Left has made it very clear that nothing is inexcusable when done by their own. That does not mean that we should stoop to their level, but it also does not mean the election needs to be about the distant past, when Moore has shown in the recent past a very solid conservative record and much-needed activism.
