The strategema behind removing a sitting Senator

Republican Alabama-Senatorial nominee Roy Moore has now been accused by five women as having sexually molested them while they were underage. That is absolutely the definition of pedophelia. The fifth victim produced her High School yearbook, which he signed AT CHRISTMAS time....

Reports out of Gadsden clearly show that many in that town knew of his penchant for seeking out very young women in malls and the like. In fact, the main mall BANNED him from the premises in the 1980s because he was constantly cruising for young ladies. In the report are testimonies by many, many workers from that mall as well as numerous police officers. Those testimonies cannot all be wrong.

And just to remind, the WAPO research has been immaculately carried out. The Moore team is having an extremely hard time trying to make this go away.

The guy at electoral-vote.com makes the following very excellent point:

And in spite of what is going to become absolutely overwhelming evidence that Roy Moore, who claims to be such a righteous "Christian", went on the continuous hunt for young girls, UNDERAGE girls, many on the Right are twisting themselves into pretzels in order to somehow justify this disgusting stuff. One even invoked Joseph and Mary as examples of how sex with underage females is somehow ok. So, ok, the guy is so stupid, he never got the part about Mary having been impregnated as a virgin, so Joseph wasn't in on the whole deal, but well, ok....

And in spite of this, regardless of current poll, Moore still has the best chances of winning the AL-SEN 2 special election. This would, of course, be a massive stain on the Republican Party, having just elected a pedophile to the US-Senate.

But the US-Senate must not seat him. The Senate, with 67 votes, can remove him.

So, here's how that looks:

46 Ds and 2 Is who caucus with the Ds = 48

Following Republicans are calling for Moore to drop out now: Bill Cassidy (LA), Susan Collins (ME), Bob Corker (TN), Steve Daines (MT), Lindsey Graham (SC), Chuck Grassley (IA), Orrin Hatch (UT), Mitch McConnell (KY), Ron Johnson (WI) Mike Lee (UT), John McCain (AZ), Rob Portman (OH), Richard Shelby (AL), Thom Tills (NC), Pat Toomey (PA) and Cory Gardner (CO) = 16

That makes for 64 pretty sure votes to remove Roy Moore should he win and want to be seated in the US-Senate. Of the 33 remaining Republicans, it should be pretty easy to find three would would also vote to remove him, like Ben Sasse, Lisa Murkowski and Roy Blunt.

In short, this is a really bad situation that may only get worse.

The last time Senators were expelled (14 of them) was during the Civil War era, so this would really be an extraordinary circumstance.

When David Duke won the Republican nomination for Governor in Lousiana in 1991, Republican President George H. W. Bush openly campaigned denounced him an encouraged Louisanans to vote for the Democrat, Edwin Edwrds, who was also no sweet smelling rose, but he wasn't a nazi.

Democrat Doug Jones is no wilting flower and he has a good record, but he is a Democrat in an overwhelmingly Republican state. It would take a huge amount of Republicans to be willing to switch sides to elect him and since a very large percentage of Evangelicals are supporting the pedophile no matter what, even if the race becomes close, it's still currently advantage Moore.

So, yeah, it's very possible that the US-Senate can remove him and against this removal he can do absolutely nothing.

Time for popcorn and rootbeer....

-Stat

 

I actually hope the establishment keeps doing things to cancel democracy and remove the peoples voice.

In the end it serves my agenda.

 

It's pretty damning when state Republicans prefer a pedophile to a Democrat. If Moore runs and wins, this will leave the Senate with only one option - deny him a seat or removal. I agree it's an extraordinary step to take considering how rare this step is....but then again Moore is an extraordinarily bad choice, totally unsuitable for a seat in the Senate.

 

I don't see how the left and right comes to terms with their differences without Civil War.

I'm not advocating it but just from a Observer standpoint I don't see how this ends up any other way.

 

A former judge who was removed from the bench TWICE, who quite obviously likes to diddle extremely young *****. Now, imagine that.

Spit.

 

One could almost say that invisible forces behind the Oz's curtain are doing their damndest to pull us apart from each other and the hyperpartisans on all sides are helping them out.

Were this a DEM candidate who was an outed pedophile, I would vote for the Republican, no doubt about it. Because some things in life go WAY beyond party. Universal things, like the protection of the weakest and youngest among us.

And I know exactly how I would handle a pedophile were I do catch him trying to hit on to my daughter. That would be a very, very ugly day in history. I am starting to ask if Republicans have ever raised children. Really. EVERY SINGLE ****ING parent out there should be reading this about Moore and saying: NO, no way, not ever.

 

And can I assume Menendez is next up?

 

For the record:
Pedophilia or paedophilia is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.

All his alleged victims were not prepubescent if true he would be a ..Heb..ephilia or a ..heb..ephile someone who is attracted to early teens.

 

The washington swamp rats cannot defeat roy moore on the issues so they have to use trickery and lies instead

 

I am absolutely for it. If he broke the law and is found guilty, Menendez needs to go.
Crime is crime is crime is crime.
I see you are making a tactical error concerning me as a person: when it comes to criminal acts, I am absolutely non-partisan.

 

You have made an excellent point - aber the more general use of Pedophelia is simply sex OR ATTEMPTED SEX with underage people, which in every state is illegal.

 

OH LOL LOL LOL LOL

Thanks for making me laugh.

so, you support pedophelia?

 

You should get your terms - and facts - correct.

No wrongdoiing by moore has been proven

And girls of that age are minors but not children

So the term pedophile is incorrect

 

Under age in AL is under 16. Only one ‘accuser’ was under age.

I still find it funny that the left that promotes all kinds of sexual deviancy are suddenly shocked, shocked I tell you! Maybe they are actually upset because this is between male and female.

 

I find it curious that they are so obcessed with Roy Moore over unproven events that are alleged to have happened almost 40 years ago

This just prooves that the corrupt politicians in washington cannot beat roy moore on the issues so they have to use character assassination instead

 

Then why don't you say "if Moore broke the law and found guilty (though he can't be because of statute of limitations, but I'll play along for the sake of discussion) he needs to go. In the meantime leave him the hell alone."

 

The accusations are credible. That doesn't mean he did it, but it should raise serious questions for voters.

For those saying that Obama and co's crimes are worse and if we let ilk like him get into power much worse will happen, well you know what will put them in power? Republicans siding with likely child molesters.

It's a symptom of the complete breakdown in trust across party lines that the other side has the nation's best intentions in mind. Everyone is either a Communist or a white Supremacist.

 

True but Moore can honestly say (he is a lawyer) that he is not a pedophile and is not attracted nor has attempted to have sex with a child. Or to quote Bill "I did not have sexual relations with that women."

 

nice...so "only" one of the girls was technically a minor. Gee that's comforting

The fact that 16 year old girls aren't protected in Alabama as they are in almost every other state is disturbing enough.

Seeing Republicans use that anomaly to protect this creep is even more disturbing

 

That's Rich coming from a Conservative

 

I mean I'm for sure conservative and have conservative beliefs and leanings but you can't equate me to some random Fox News contributor or Mitt Romney or any of these other people...

 

I know, the law, so passe for the left that they have to invent outrage.

 

You'd have no problem with a 32 year old man having sex with your 16 year old daughter?

I would

 

Hmm, so far a date and a kiss. I guess now the left that defended a blow job as not being sex that a kiss is now sex. Hard to follow the pretzel logic.

 

Crooked Mitch is bluffing. He needs 67 votes to do it. And if he does it he loses the South for the senate and for the house.
