In April of 2017 Alabama’s Supreme Justice resigned from the bench after suspension by the state’s other justice for improprieties while in office. Roy Moore accepted their ruling and declared himself a candidate for the US Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions who had become # 45’s Attorney General. The GOP hierarchy supported Luther Strange for the Senate, however Roy Moore beat him in a runoff election.
A staunch Bible Thumper, anti-Gay advocate, Confederate supporter, and has gone so far into the lunatic religious fringe to say that 9/11 was a result of America’s break with Christianity.
Alabama is deep Bible Belt.
God, thoughts, and prayers are the cure for any woe. Roy Moore is their choice. A Man of God.
Two weeks ago the New York Times published an article accusing the potential senator of having had sex with five underaged girls while he was the chief prosecutor in Etowah County, Ala.
The girls ranged in age from 14 to 17.
Moore at the time was in his thirties.
The ex-justice denied all the accusations and has rejected any and all interviews about the matter.
Mainstream Republicans have called for his withdrawal from the Senate race, but many Alabamans are of a different mind.
One pastor said that women are the predators and another informed the press that Mary was 14 when she had Jesus without adding that the Blessed Mother was supposedly a virgin.
Alabama GOP office holders have come out in support of Roy Moore and the Governor has vowed to vote for the man, but Trump has remained silent on the issue.
# 45 has been accused more than once about sexual misconduct.
The people of Alabama deserve better, but the age of consent in that Dixie state is 16.
In the 19th Century it was 10 or 12, except for Delaware which had set its bar at 7.
And everyone wonders why men are the way they are.
Because they control the lives of women.
From birth to death.
The Democrats aren’t much better.
Still they aren’t as bad as the GOP.
Vote for Doug Jones, a former United States Attorney.
It’s time for a change.
