Now wait a minute, the way the first Washington Post article was written, there was no way for Judge Moore to refute it. The article said he had an illegal relationship with a 14 year old and then included one or two young women of legal age that he actually dated a couple of times. When Hannity asked him to refute the article he could not give a one word answer.
Untold thousands of men have had a May-December relationship, and further back in time, untold multiple millions. My own wife of 43 years once was engaged to an older man when she was seventeen until she found out that he was a mama's boy that would never stand with her against his overbearing mother. My wife also had a girlfriend who married a father figure and was ruled by him with an iron hand. She buried him a few years ago.
The Judge is not guilty of any offense.
And that itself has a hard time selling to modern mores. Except of course when it’s libertine. Square ole Christendom can’t win the rigged contest.
Agreed, but in the final analysis, the judge simply failed to bring enough voters around to our mindset.
