[TheRealThing]

Again and again, BOTH the RNC and DNC do the single most predictable thing in politics: pull out nearly every stop to WIN. It would not occur to me to defend Anthony Weiner. I hope the man finds some redemption and peace, but he should not be in Congress. I said, in all caps, “IF” on Roy Moore, though it seems fairly likely that the young-then prosecutor (early 30’s) sought out teenage girls. Again “IF” any of those “seeking outs” included sexual assault of any kind, Roy Moore does not belong in Congress. Now, let us all remember the released audio of then candidate Trump overtly stating that wealth (and one assumes power) make it possible for a man to just walk right up and grab a woman’s genitalia, and they don’t mind. That sounds like an unlikely universal. It also sounds like a man whose philosophical underpinnings regarding sexuality make some sort of sexual assault not particularly unlikely. Under the “why now” objection, one need look no further than current news: men and women voicing up about being victimized. The roots of sexual misconduct and perversion are long, historical, and common, made worse by Puritanical values and shrouding.
What we have on this thread is pure verification of tribalism, plain and simple.

Not true, no Republican has hired a foreign intelligence operative to manufacture a dossier on a Democrat candidate for the office of the Presidency.

Verbosity cannot shroud your "pure and simple" intent, which is to defend all things liberal. Whenever there is Republican blood in the water, your fangs are bared every time. You cannot reasonably refute a word of my post and because your overarching goal is to support all things liberal, you attack anything and anybody of that view.

Nobody knows whether Roy Moore is guilty as charged or not. And yet your every thought on the matter has been for the purpose of public prosecution. The observations of my post are undeniable and intended only to afford the man the right of innocence until proof of guilt has been provided. But thanks for taking such offense. And for the record, 240 years of history as applicable to the United States of America has been a little more noble than tribalism.
