This is an endorsement, not a scandal
Momma knew what she was talking about too.
Roy Moore became an Alabama Supreme Court Justice and hero to many in Alabama (And the rest of America too) for his defense of the Ten Commandments and religious liberty.
And he is by all accounts a good husband and father.
Ol’ Roy ain't done half bad.
Besides any Southern woman worth her salt should be able to handle a few drinks at the age of eighteen. Dry county or not. By college she should be able to find the best hootch and get gloriously smackered without letting the seams of her stocking come askew then show up for church service in the morning bright as a daisy.
For some, attention is enough.
Yes...it looks like it was a good thing Roy Moore did NOT marry THIS girl...maybe that’s why she’s come out now...??? Still feeling jilted?
When he left the Army he went to University of Alabama Law School and graduated around 1977.
Moore pretty much put his personal life on hold until he was 30.
In the 1970s most women got married right out of high school and if a woman was not married by the age of 29 she was considered a spinster and old old maid by much of contemporary society.
Most people has kids in their mid twenties were terrified of having children after the age of 30 because of the risk of health problems and birth defects
there would have been very few unmarried women Moore's age at the time and having children that old would have been frowned upon at the time.
If Moore wanted to get married, he would have had to look at women 17 to 21 because they were the only unmarried women available
As little as a century ago, marriages as young as 10 were not unheard of.
In any case, in Western culture up until a couple of generations ago, it was the norm for a man to go out and establish himself in his trade and have a viable career, and then go find himself a wife of prime childbearing age. Age gaps of a decade or even two were normal.
Over the last couple of generations the gender roles have blurred (Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore, anyone?) but the biology hasn't. There is a reason men are capable of reproduction to much greater ages than are women. Whether you view that as the way we were made, or an adaptation ala Darwinism is irrelevant to the facts.
Western culture had such age gaps as common, even the norm, when life spans were shorter and childhood deaths were common. You started young and produced as many children as you needed to. Elements of this, such as age gaps, were still the norm 40 years ago, even 20 or 10 years ago, even though the root motivations such as child deaths and shorter life expectancy had diminished. To criticize such practices is a contrived excuse.
Darn straight.
I can't help but think that the fine women of Alabama are taking the implications of this smear East Coast carpet baggers as an insult to their character and womanhood
My experience with Southern women is that when their mind on something they go after it with the ruthlessness and calculation of of Dodge City gunslinger and they ply their cards with the charm, shrewdness and cunning of a river boat gambler
They are anything poor helpless damsels in distress although they can play that part pretty convincingly when they want to.
Great points, and all very true. I graduated from high school in 1965, and that’s the way it was back then.
I wonder if a large sum of money has suddenly appeared in these women’s bank accounts.
Very wonderful and informative post. Thanks, calenel.
Paula Cobin, attorney, wrote this statement.... not the accuser.
Hey, how about the ACCUSER taking questions from a hostile Roy Moore advocate?
“The accusation of providing liquor at a restaurant has been debunked by noting the county in which this purportedly happened was dry at the time of the date and could not have happened.”
Now that right there is one of the most compelling arguments I’v seen against the truth of the smear.
Absolutely empty vapid comments through a lawyer that a man dated her 38 years ago. Unless she is a lesbian and afraid of a blow back for being a closet strait what is the problem? “He knows the truth” and so does she. The truth is there is no there there.
She'll need to have a complete make over first, before all that happens.
Yeppers. What a temperance in a teapot.
Etowah County appears to have gone wet by referendum in 1972.

They sent 3 reporters to AL to report on the Senate race; who just happened to hear about 40 year old sexual allegations by 4 women who don’t know each other ... while at a Roy Moore event. A story gift wrapped and ready to ship.
Gerry Studds, a Massachusetts Democrat, had sex with an underage page. Barney Frank had prostitution ring running out of his home. Bill Clinton was accused of rape and paid off on a sexual harassment suit.
At least there is actual sex involved when a Dem is involved.
