Roy Moore, Profiting Politically Among His Followers, For His Indiscretions

ALABAMA SENATORIAL CANDIDATE ROY MOORE needn't worry about losing voter support, any more than Donald Trump. The national republican party has indeed cut off his campaign funds, but not his enthusiastic base. His democratic opponent, Doug Stone, arranged to have several women fabricate accusations of sexual harassment against this paragon of conservative Christian virtue, and that's that. Case closed. So say his ardent spokespeople. Why would a woman bring forth accusations of sexual misconduct forty years after the fact, were the allegations not "trumped" up (pun intended)? Why now, seemingly timed perfectly to destroy an honorable man's political campaign? The answer should be, and is, obvious. Women who have been molested by powerful men are afraid to come forth, for rear of retaliation. Only when a throng of other women have already come forth is it safe, they correctly think. Also, what better time to do so, than when a man who has sinned greatly and not yet paid for it, seeks to achieve political power for the possible opportunity of sinning yet again, unimpeded? We must ask ourselves, which is more likely: that women fabricate stories years after the fact, stories which humiliate them by bringing negative attention to themselves, or that powerful me seek to take advantage of their position in society by taking advantage of women with less power? Moore's right wing supporters are not to be believed. They are known prevaricators. They voted for Trump, knowing full well of Trump's self described misconduct, yet, they pretended not to hear it. The supporters of Trump and Moore have long since forfeited their credibility, and their integrity. Amid the turmoil of an avalanche of sexual harassment accusation made against male elites, we now know, once and for all, why women tend to attend public restrooms in groups; there is safety in numbers. Meanwhile, in the upcoming special election, the democrats will have to defeat the sanctimonious and libidinous former judge Moore at the ballot box, straight up. His political base will never abandon him. that's not in the right wing DNA, not when the alternative is the election of a non extreme right wing democrat, with good morals. When he was chief Justice of the Alabama supreme court Moore defied a federal order to remove the ten commandments from his judicial domain, an act of lawlessness that only enervated his selectively moral supporters. The defiant act cost him his job, but won the unanimous approval of the far Christian right. Revelations of sexual misconduct can only be expected to enhance his standing among Christian conservatives, to whom morality is relative to political expediency, not absolute, like the ten commandments, which neither they nor Moore have perhaps ever studied in depth. All this is predictable, because the election of Donald trump, facilitated by the same segment of American society, was facilitated by similar circumstances. It must be exciting and fun to be a conservative Christian republican, free of the burdens of genuine moral rectitude, unencumbered by any discernable connection to objective reality.
