He was impeached. So by that logic you support the impeachment of Trump, yes?

 

You notice that famous liberals who get accused lose their careers, are publicly admonished by fellow liberals,

 

in fact what happened was

 

They raise money off it, and their base rallies behind them. Yeah. So. There's that.

I know Clinton was a womanizer, but unless im missing something here(did Clinton get busted with someone underage?) there is a large gap between a serial cheater and a pedophile. While i dont respect Clintons feelings about the sanctity of marriage, I wouldnt worry about him being around my underage daughter. Moore, on the other hand, was known to hang around HS football games and the mall looking for girls. Thats seriously f***ed up

Clinton is alleged to have raped and assaulted women and definitely abused his power like many of these Hollywood guys.

 

That is not as bad as child molestation but that's a low hurdle. Clinton shouldn't enjoy the reputation that he has.

I mean, he really doesnt have that great of a reputation.....

Bud. Is this the corner you really want to be fighting from? The corner defending the pedophile? Yeah?

 

It isn't the corner I am fighting from. It is the corner where you pretend that only one party defends sexual predators. That isn't at all true, victim "THAT WOMAN" shaming at all.

One party does it with significantly higher frequency than the other. You know that. That's why you have to go back 20 years to find a liberal example.

How'd we do defending Anthony Weiner? Spitzer? John Edwards?

 

On the flip side, Newt still seems to be doing great, doesn't he?

lol, you keep telling yourself that. It is all about power protecting power. Nothing more, nothing less. It why Hollywood protected its own, and it is why Washington takes care of its own. Turning it into a political ideology it exactly what turns out people who "protect" Roy Moore by making party more important than country.,

Do you have further examples of Dems defending sexual predators within their ranks in order to win elections?

If you want good reason to buy the Juanita Broddrick rape allegation against Bill Clinton it's outlined here. It's pretty strong and the comebacks are the sort of "why isn't the victim acting like I expect them to" that we should stop doing. Many of the others did not hold up based on physical claims, but that one does seem to stand out.

Id bet almost anything it’s definitely happened at some point.

Literally right now the Republican Party can do something about it. They can vote for a vastly better human being. Or they can refuse to seat him and give up a vote available to them in the Senate when he wins. We will see. None of their statements about how they wouldn't work with Trump held for a second.

You can imagine Obama having an Access Hollywood-ish comment coming out and it not sinking him?

“Cling to their guns and religion” almost lost him the presidency.

 

We have to talk about degrees of severity here. Moore and Trump are equal to Clinton?

 

I don’t think so...because you’re talking about consensual adult relations (where the accuser got her revenge) versus a situation that underage high school girls (one a Trump voter today) never stood a chance. Even in 2017 Alabama, the only chance they have is a modernized version of To Kill A Mockingbird with Atticus Finch as their attorney.

 

The very idea of defending behavior that borders on pedophilia is scary...and it won’t be accepted by the American people, women in particular.

 

Clinton has tarnished his reputation in many ways with Dems, no moreso that the comments during the 2008 Democratic primary in South Carolina. He helped cost the Dems elections in 2000 (Gore ran a terrible campaign as well) and 2016, and that isn’t forgotten. Yet, at the end of the day, at least we can admire his intellect and political acumen.

 

Those on the GOP side can likewise admire GHW Bush, Trump, Moore, Hastert, Newt Gingrich, Larry Craig...the difference is that Dems don’t often use religious faith to justify their behavior and hypocrisy. There are undoubtedly equally bad actors on both sides, but that whole Family Values tagline is getting more and more unseemly by the day.

 

(PS, Jimmy Carter is arguably the only president going back to at least FDR without a string of marital affairs/indiscretions...and did more after leaving office than any modern-day leader. In a further irony, his religious beliefs were used against him due to his painfully honest “lust in my heart” comments.)

Politicizing pedophilia is pretty cheap. There's an obvious correlation/causation break in logic, but don't let that stop any of you from pushing your agenda.

Otoh don't vote for pedophiles seems like a simple and good rule, and that's on top of a million other reasons Moore should never, ever be a senator

I don't think there have ever been any allegations about extra marital affairs with Obama. He seems like a stand up guy in that regard.

They can refuse to seat him or expel him and replace him with someone else chosen by the Republican governor in Alabama, don't even have to give up the seat if he wins. It'll cause major issues within the party though.
