Lee and Daines. Obviously everyone is scared of guilt by association, the media used that faggot Mark Foley to attack all Republicans in 2006, it’s understandable.
This comes on the heels of his Hannity radio interview where while he sternly denied kissing the 14 year old he seemingly admitted that he dated 16 and 17 year olds while an adult (late 20s to 30ish I think). (The reaction to this interview has been extremely negative.)
YMMV but I have zero problem with that, girls at that age are sexually mature and used to commonly marry, and no one is saying there was actual sex, just dating for cripes sake. I’m not gonna sit and here and pretend I find the idea of having sex with a 17 year old girl “disgusting”. Now if you have daughters and you are thinking a 28-30 year old guy with your 16 year old is “inappropriate”, I respect that dad/mom. And perhaps it is “inappropriate” given teenage emotional maturity levels these days.
But It’s certainly not
A)A crime, the age of consent in Bama is 16. IMO this is probably the proper age of consent.
B)Pedophilia, , pedophilia means prepubescent children, period, most pedophiles (eg Jarrod from Subway) seem to go for both boys and girls. Comparing a completely legal liaison with a young lady who is sexually mature and over the age on contest to child rape is despicable and silly, I wouldn’t even compare it to going after 13-15 year olds. It’s not unnatural or wrong for a man to be sexually attracted to a 17 year old girl, come the hell on and break me off a piece of the Kit Kat Bar.. Anyone calling Moore a pedophile should drink bleach and die.
Now, here’s me, I’m a pragmatist who’s in it for myself, the ONLY thing I care about is keeping this seat from falling into the hands of the liberal swine democrat who will vote to F up my life and the lives of all Americans. I would vote for a serial killer over Mr. Jones, (a killer of adults I mean because Jones is a huge Planned Parenthood guy) because a serial killer could be expelled and replaced by the GOP Governor. The past is over and done with, the future is all that matters to me.
In that vein I supported Mo Brooks, Mr. Regular Conservative as opposed to Mr. Swamp Corruption or Mr. Controversy. I was and am still 100% convinced that I was correct and that Brooks was the NO BRAINIER choice over the other 2. But alas he came in third. In the runoff after weighing all opinions I quickly and firmly came to the conclusion Moore was the better choice than Big Luther and went to the mat for him here on FR. Even tussled with some people who said he was a moron or whatever. And guys (Mariner I think you were one I talked to), you had a point, obviously. This is a VERY inarticulate man, he’s kinda the anti-Trump in that regard. I cringed when he seemingly took the Rand Paul “I won’t vote for a less than perfect Obamacare repeal” position right before the runoff which gave conservatives legitimate reason to consider Strange.
There is some talk that this irrelevant garbage isn’t bothersome to the voters of Bama and will go over like that grab them by the P nonsense did in the general election, I hope that’s true. I want to see polling. Yes, polling, no polling is not all “wrong” as we say when we don’t like the result. RCP polling average for VA Governor was way off, in OUR favor (with the more rattier polls being correct) and the NJ polling average was right on the money.
But certainly we must acknowledge the possibly that despite what we want or think that Moore might be boned. People hear “16 year old girl” and they don’t like that.
If polling shows he’s boned I would support the option put forth that Hannity has also endorsed that the Governor can use her broad discretion to delay the election while President Trump has a come to Jesus talk with Justice Moore about stepping aside. No one ever wants to step aside, I think only the President could get him to do it.
Again the seat is all the matters to me. Don’t talk to me about those damn RINOs, I do not support letting democrats take Senate seats out of spite against establishment Republicans. The die is cast and we can’t change it. We need to see what the voters of Alabama think. Doug Jones kills babies, celebrates queers, raises taxes and wants wise Latinas to tell us we’re wrong about what the constitution says, remember that,
