Consider: Elvis Courted 14-year-olds...

and he's still considered America's "King".
Moral distaste doesn't always win the day, sadly.

There are many reasons Alabamians might not want to elect Roy Moore as their senator. Most people who have done their homework know of these, and it doesn't take 39-year-old accusations that suddenly appear on the eve of an important national election to convince them.*

Odd that the woman never found her voice until the WaPo reporters came a-calling, soliciting sources for their story. Too bad they didn't publish it when Luther Strange was running... or during the height of Moore's popularity in the George W. Bush years.

* If I were a gambling woman, I would consider the ultimate non-impact on last year's election results of the Access Hollywood tape/story that appeared only on the eve of the presidential election last year. Similar situations: Facts are facts, but voters understand when they are being manipulated. Sometimes, you really can sit on a story for too long...

UPDATE: If you read the above, and think I support rape, silence or Roy Moore, read it again.

I won't be surprised if Alabama elects this man as a senator from their state, and I only wish the national media would have broken the story back when the state Supreme Court justice was refusing to uphold the law in his courtrooms, with the gay marriage decision and the 10 Commandments one too, which reinforced the importance of the American First Amendment. (Clearly, Roy Moore does not share this belief.) In fact, I think the two issues go together: people in America should have their private religious beliefs, but I have always thought -- it's the reason I applied to law school! -- that those who do not find acceptance in their religious communities should be assured equal rights in the civil courts. Gay marriage does that: offers those who come up in religious environments the necessary security in knowing that under America's civil system of law, they can form legal and healthy relationships in our shared country.

Too bad the woman who was a minor when the alleged molestation activity occurred was unable to find her voice, in the many years after she became an adult, until only on the eve of that national election, after Moore won the Republican primary election. I suspect the delay will prove costly, and there is a good chance that Moore will be elected a senator by the people of Alabama.

(Hope this helps clarify... Try and think about complexity before you spew anger, please. And if you still don't understand my thoughts here, try reading it again... with a more open mind.)
