:Honestly, I think all those points are true, at least to an extent. It is true that these are still claims, and nothing's been proven -- thus, we shouldn't jump to judgment on this like the establishment and Dems have been doing. At the same time, there are serious holes and problems in the accusers' stories -- such as the whole yearbook signature thing; the fact that one of the accusers who said she didn't see Moore since the 1970s actually saw him when he took her divorce case in the 1990s and apparently had no problem with it; the fact that these accusers (who call themselves "Republicans" and "Trump supporters") have only been going to liberals like WaPo and leftist Democrat Party activist Gloria Allred, neither of whom have any respect/credibility from real conservatives; and the fact that many women and others who knew Moore even since the 1970s and before have spoken up defending him (of course, the MSM won't report this), etc.

:In addition, these allegations are clearly politicized. They were reported only 1 month before the election, and all the accusers ran to left-wingers who clearly oppose Moore and/or other strong conservatives. Allred has a history of bringing alleged victims in front of cameras when a politician is running for office and threatens to sue (Swartzenegger, Trump, now Moore), but then acting like the allegations never happened after those candidates win their elections (Allred also was a delegate for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Democrat convention). How can we believe these claims when they are clearly politicized? And how can we think clearly on these claims when they are politicized? Honestly, it could very well be that Moore pursued young women when he was younger -- but there's nothing inherently wrong with doing so so long as you don't abuse them. The fact he apparently asked their parents shows he adhered to chivalry, something the Left has thrown out the window.

These are all valid points, but they are distorted and mischaracterized in our politicized environment.

:The double standards in these allegations are obvious -- even if these allegations were true, Moore still would be one of the most moral people in Washington. Simply pursuing young women isn't inherently wrong, even if it's distasteful and taboo (and it's also true that in some places in the South, it's not taboo). What matters is if you honor God when doing so. Some of these allegations very clearly are sinful. However, how many Representatives and Senators are also guilty of sexual misconduct equal to or worse than Moore? More than you'd expect: [http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/16/politics/settlements-congress-sexual-harassment/index.html][https://www.axios.com/congress-payout-sexual-misconduct-2510322900.html][http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/11/14/msnbc-sexual-harassment-speier-u-s-house-paid-15-million-secret-victims/] Why is Moore getting all the condemnation for claims that aren't even proven, while nobody in Congress is getting the same treatment, even Al Franken, who admitted to his actions when confronted with photographic evidence (and Republicans are more OK with Democrat Franken than one of their own candidates)? And why are we only talking about allegations of rape, attempted rape, and groping? How many members of Congress have committed adultery? How many have had premarital sex? How many have gotten divorced? How many swear and blaspheme God? These are all terrible sins, but why are none of these people resigning, even though it's painfully clear who these people are? These people are doing these things ''now'', while Moore did these things ''40 years ago.'' It's double standards.

:And yes, it's true that Moore is conservative. He's hated by McConnell and the establishment -- they would love to replace Moore with a worthless establishment crony who makes a few conservative-sounding statements during campaign years but nothing else. There is no reason to replace a great candidate with another crony simply upon unproven allegations which (for the most part) are not even that serious *if* true. All these positions you mentioned, Brossa, are valid and overlooked points, and that's why I essentially repeated them again in my long explanation. --[[User:1990'sguy|1990'sguy]] ([[User talk:1990'sguy|talk]]) 16:24, 19 November 2017 (EST)
