Trying to commit suicide at the age of 16? Involved in Drugs. Very promiscuous at this age, by her own admission.
Not a life's history I would want to have to try and defend against. I think there is more bad things in it, but I have forgotten some of the details.
This is going to go nowhere for sure.
“He defamed HER??? I hope he comes back at her both barrels.”
With a coach gun.
She doesn’t have to prove her claims. She has to prove that Moore didn’t rule out mental illness on her part when he said her actions were politically motivated.
If he filed a counter-suit, because he is a “public figure” he would have to prove that she is not mentally ill (and thus didn’t simply “mis-remember” stuff like not having a phone in her bedroom, which is critical to her story and admittedly false according to her mother).
Those who make this about Roy Moore - you know, the trollish posters who clog all the threads about him - are ignoring the legal danger here. If Allred can flash a $100 bill in a trailer park and get people to lie about stories way beyond the statute of limitations and thus unprovable, AND THEN sue for defamation anybody who says a peep against the accuser, then there is NOBODY that Allred can’t destroy with impunity.
This isn’t about Roy Moore. This is about the reason that there is a statute of limitations. And it’s about inequality under the law, where public figures can be libeled anytime because the legal bar for proving libel is so high - especially when the libel is based sheerly on one person’s memories and that person can plead mental illness rather than knowingly lying).
If Allred gets away with this, the lawlessness totally wins the day.
But then, the people I see on this thread don’t seem to care much about lawlessness and even say that Christianity is incompatible with a democratic form of government - IOW, truth, life, property, etc have no place “counting” in this country.
Sad. And incredibly short-sighted, to say that only unscrupulous liars should ever be allowed to win in a democratic process.
“He said / she said. It goes nowhere.”
What happened to statutes of limitations in this cuntry?
What a lying political whore she is in my opinion but she has now stepped in it and will have the full burden of proof. I can’t wait to watch this dismissal after the first round of discovery. I think she should be prosecuted for fraudulently influencing an election. Go ROY!!
You apparently have a very subjective understanding of the word "objective." He was 28 points ahead before the accusations against him were made. How does "bad candidate" comport with a 28 point lead?
He gave every indication that he would have been an enormous pain in the ass in Washington, and would have accomplished absolutely nothing for his efforts.
You see that as a bad thing? I think you and I have different ideas about what needs to be happening in Washington DC. I liked Moore precisely because I expected him to be a huge pain in the ass to the good ole boy system of favor trading and such.
Sounds like you missed your true calling Drew...as a seer. Tell me, will I win at the casino next week when I go? And how much will it be?
I guess we finally get an opportunity to hear the truth.
Exactly. We know everything about Moore. We are about to learn about her.
Now there are plenty of people in the conservative movement who would love to see Mitch McConnell replaced. You'll find lots of them right here on FreeRepublic. But there isn't a single Republican today in the U.S. Senate who has given any indication that he plans to mount a challenge to McConnell's leadership. Who the hell was Roy Moore going to support for the position of Senate Majority Leader -- Chuck Schumer?
It was obvious to anyone watching the Alabama election process unfold that Moore was simply carrying Steve Bannon's anti-McConnell water here -- and that was really a tone-deaf, idiotic approach to a special election for a single seat in the U.S. Senate.
Mark this post.
I've already marked you, and as a consequence I don't need to mark any of your posts. So far as I can tell over the years, you are virtually wrong about everything you say. I can't recall the last time I read something from you that I thought was sensible.
I've actually speculated that Roy Moore would have spent most of his time in Alabama, and would have missed about 90% of the votes that came up in the Senate during his tenure anyway.
And that is likely what will happen. Unless some evidence emerges which has heretofore been undiscovered, Neither side can prove their claim.
Didn't you know? Right from the very beginning she has been represented by the Treasure of the Democrat Party of Alabama.
Democrat Party official in at the start of this thing from the get-go.
She only has to prove that Moore didn’t first check for her being mentally ill when he claimed that her accusations were politically motivated.
She’s not a “public figure” so she has very little to prove.
Now if HE sued her for libel he would have to prove that she knew she was lying or showed a reckless disregard for truth - which would mean he would have to prove she is not mentally ill or has other motivations such as the money Allred offered to pay her.
Double standard.
Can you believe that if she was able to show she was offered money to lie, she could prove that Moore libeled her, because he said the accusations were politically motivated. If it was just money-motivated then he libeled her, according to the legal precedents and standards.
It’s nuts.
He will now counter sue her pants off.
A bag of horse manure running on the Republican ticket would have had a 28 point lead in Alabama.
Moore mailed it in and disappeared from the campaign trail in the closing weeks of the race. He refused to debate his opponent. Hillary Clinton ran a more energetic campaign.
He didn't just have a 28 point lead, dude. He BLEW a 28 point lead.
I hope the truth comes out, but I doubt it. Either this was a great political hit job, or Roy Moore is an a$$. I really dont know.
