Number of women came forward saying that Roy Moore sexually assaulted them when they were under 18 years old.

I do not think this is a witch hunt. As it is, many of these Religious freaks like Roy Moore are crazy. With so many from the left and right, we do have sick people. Several GOP had to step down or resign for what they did to underage kids like the Foley and PageGate to Haskert doing a Jerry Sandusky in high school. Mitch McConnell is already asked Roy Moore to drop out of the race if this is true.

He won't admit anything nor drop out. And he'll probably win...because Bama.

If true, I disavow -- because I'm not a partisan hack.

I must have missed your comment on Menendez. Do you disavow? Do you demand he step down, as well?

I'm not a fan of moore because he's too socially conservative. Not surprisingly those that howl about morals etc are often hypocrites themselves.

So, we have 35 year old allegations which went unreported for the 35 years, and these people didnt come forward in the primary. Yea, sounds legit.

Victims of sex crimes are afraid to speak out about what happened to them. We should not blame them. We need to blame these sickos who think it is okay to abuse women, girls and boys for their sick enjoyments.

He won't admit or drop out because liberal.

Deadline for withdrawal is 76 days. Republicans are stuck with Roy's name on the ballot whether he wants to drop out or not:

Contents; amendments; withdrawal of name.

(a) The official ballots shall contain the names of all candidates nominated by caucus, convention, mass meeting, primary election, or other assembly of any political party or faction, or by petition of electors and certified as provided in Section 17-9-3, but no person's name shall be printed upon the ballots who, within the time period set forth in subsection ©, notifies the judge of probate in writing, acknowledged before an officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments, that he or she will not accept the nomination specified in the certificate of nomination or petition of electors. The name of each candidate shall appear but one time on the ballot and under only one emblem.

(b) A nomination for a candidate in a primary or general election shall be finalized by the respective state executive committees not later than 76 days before the primary or general election. Any amendment to a certification of a candidate by a state executive committee shall be filed with the judge of probate in the case of a county office, or the Secretary of State in the case of a state or federal office. Any amendment filed after the 76th day before a primary or a general election shall be accepted by the judge of probate or the Secretary of State but shall not be cause for reprinting of the ballots. The name of a candidate who is the subject of the amendment and who is disqualified by a political party or who has withdrawn as a candidate shall remain on the ballot, not be replaced by the name of another candidate, and the appropriate canvassing board shall not certify any votes for the candidate. Any amendment to a certification to correct the spelling of the name of a candidate that is filed after the 76th day before a primary or general election, or after the printing of absentee ballots for a primary runoff election has commenced, shall not be cause for reprinting of the ballots and shall not affect the counting or certification of any votes cast for the candidate.

© The notification deadline for persons who do not wish to accept nomination in a primary election is 76 days before the date of the election. A person who does not wish to accept nomination in a second primary election shall submit the notification set forth in subsection (a) before the printing of absentee ballots. The notification deadline for persons who do not wish to accept nomination in a general election is 76 days before the date of the election. In the event that a candidate submits a notification of withdrawal after the applicable deadline, the name of the candidate shall remain on the ballot and the appropriate canvassing board may not certify any votes for the candidate.

Well, Republicans have already elected one sexual predator. This will probably get Moore stronger support from the base.

If the deadline has passed, and is only 76 days, then that tells me that these allegations are politically motivated and nothing more.

There was no reason to hold these allegations back for 35 years.

There was no reason not to report these allegations during the primaries.

There was no reason to not report these allegations until the withdrawal date has passed.

.....except for political gain.

Many women accused Cosby and others that are longer than these years. Women are coming out now because of Weinstein's case which give women the courage to come out. Mariah Carey came out and said she had an issue with someone in the entertainment business sexually harassed her.

I just posted about Louis CK now.

As it is. Perverts are perverts no matter which side of the political aisle that you are on. This could hurt the Republican party if Moore do not step down.

Deadline until recently was 45 days, which if you look at the calendar is . . . interesting.

Roy's side slimed the hell out of Big Luther over his alleged mistress/love child in the primary so he's not exactly pristine here.

David you might want to change the title of the thread. Pedos like kids who have not reached puberty yet. The ladies in the WaPo story were teenagers that had already reached puberty.

"Corfman currently works as a customer service representative for a payday loan business. She has voted for Republicans in the past three presidential elections, she said, including for Donald Trump in 2016. Her Linked In page has apparently been removed as has her Facebook page.

Corfman said she did not come forward with complaints about Moore earlier over concerns for her children and fears her past - she's been divorced three times and has a history of financial issues - would undermine her credibility."

So come out 2 weeks before the election. Yeah, really credible.

Donald Trump is a pervert. He walked into the dressing room for the Ms. Teen pageant while the girls were half naked while they were changing.

One key point though. The Weinstein issue has emboldened many women to come forward. I'm mean, c'mon, we hardly go a day now without a new person accused of sexual misconduct.

But one of the common denominators here is power. And when these cases are most always she said vs. he said, it doesn't take much thought to see why women are reluctant to come forward.
