Can someone figure out who you are today by examining your actions from 39 years ago? I am not who I was 39 years ago, or 29 years ago, or 9 years ago. As human beings, we tend to learn, grow and mature.
I do not believe Roy Moore is guilty of what he is being accused of, but isn't it strange that all of this suddenly appeared within 30 days of an election regarding a guy who is not only a threat to the Democrats, but the moderate establishment Republicans?
And, even if Roy Moore, when he was young and full of youthful sexual exuberance, is guilty of flirting (or more) with young women who may or may not have been just as guilty of being flirtatious, can we determine who the man is today and if he is worthy of representing us politically based on those alleged actions from 39 years ago?
When the Democrats talk about how we were all over Bill Clinton for his sexual impropriety, we must also remember that for President Clinton, the behavior was ongoing, from Arkansas to the White House. Has Roy Moore been accused of being sexually out of control with young women since his early thirties? Do we have any examples of such behavior in recent years by Roy Moore?
I stand with Judge Roy Moore, and firmly believe he needs to stay in the race. Alabama voters have got to see the sinister nature of these attacks, and realize that it is all politically motivated because Roy Moore's Christianity and conservatism represents something that scares the heebie-jeebies out of the establishment.
