Alabama state official defends Roy Moore, citing Joseph and Mary - GMDino - 11-09-2017 Because the bible belt apparently can't a person's arse from showing.help these guy's pants on... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2017/11/09/alabama-state-official-defends-roy-moore-citing-joseph-and-mary-they-became-parents-of-jesus/?utm_term=.2d7a61f831fe Quote:An Alabama state official on Thursday dismissed a Washington Post report alleging that GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore had initiated a sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl decades ago, saying there was an age gap between the biblical Joseph and Mary. The Post also alleged that Moore had pursued three others when they were between the ages of 16 and 18 and he was in his early 30s. RE: Alabama state official defends Roy Moore, citing Joseph and Mary - BmorePat87 - 11-09-2017 I just wish they'd at least say "this is unbecoming and reprehensible behavior". Trump's excuse was the women were too ugly. Moore's is that if it were true, someone would have said something by now.

Yeah, he then proceeded to attack Jake Tapper for fake news when he referenced a transcript of Hannity's own words saying it was consensual. It was one of the most ridiculous things. RE: Alabama state official defends Roy Moore, citing Joseph and Mary - bfine32 - 11-10-2017 Absolutely no excuses for this type of action if true. Kudos to my boys Mitch, Pence, and others from the GOP disregarding politics and seeing this for what it is RE: Alabama state official defends Roy Moore, citing Joseph and Mary - Belsnickel - 11-10-2017 (11-10-2017, 12:04 AM)bfine32 Wrote: Absolutely no excuses for this type of action if true.

I hadn't heard about what Pence may have said. Most people I have seen have been focusing on folks defending Moore since that makes better click bait and is what's people in my social media feed tend to be sharing.

While I agree completely with what you say, the entire notion of defending a grown man's sexual advances toward a juvenile with reference the Bible is absurd. When I read the original story it brought a few questions to mind. Why would a mother of a teenage daughter going to a custody hearing allow her daughter to sit outside with a strange man? Second, why didn't the girl let her mother know that the man asked for her phone number? Third, why would she allow her daughter to leave with said man in an automobile?? Man is likely a creeper, no doubt. However, this story has some puzzling questions. Also, why try to make it partisan, by referencing Trump? It's not like previous Democrat Presidents haven't also had aggressive sexual advance complaints..

He found a way to blame Hillary and Obama. At least when Obama et al blamed Bush 43, he was actually a predecessor in the office. The fascination with Hillary is off.

Or maybe there's another reason besides "He's currently the most powerful politician who has experienced the same thing" that motivated your introduction of him into the equation. Only you know the true answer.

He was accused of walking in on teen girls as they were naked at a pageant and is known to have told teen girls he'd be dating them in a few years, but he was in his 40's at the time. But, seriously, we all know I am referring to just the fact that he was the target of allegations of sexual misconduct by multiple women, just like Moore, and I was commenting on their responses to these similar experiences. I didn't realize the age was the only thing some people were focused on, but I'm sure you'll have a good response in your further attempts to make even more of an ass out of yourself. Edit: I really blew it by not making fun of this line "Only you know the true answer." Oh well, maybe next time I'll mock the snarky way you end your post.

If I have nothing more to add, I won't always respond to something, no. Do you have an issue with that? The tone I got from the last post was almost like you thought I was dismissing your thoughts on that, which I wasn't.

Moore was accused of sexual misconduct toward children. I do not consider the two situations similar at all and took issue with the comparison. Hopefully my attempt to make an ass out of myself was to your satisfaction.

Well, I did find it a bit off putting, as I responded to your entire post. I only added the final sentence as an afterthought, and that was the only thing that you chose to remark on. |
