There's 0% chance he is aware of Moore's changing stories, or any depth to the story at all. He, like probably 90+% of voters, knows what the headlines and ~5 minutes of watching fox/cnn tell him about national stories.

I hope Nelson/Allred sue the **** out of Fox.

Damn few of them finished the tenth grade.

Fox deleted that tweet

So was what she added part of the original pictured sig, or did she add some note at the bottom which wasn't part of that?

Also donate to Jones instead of betting on him imo. If you gonna light money on fire, light it up for a good cause. Maybe enough donations could make a difference.

If I had to guess, even with the RNC sitting on the sidelines for a few weeks, that they will outspend the dems in Alabama by massive amounts.

The just write the date and Olde Hickory House or whatever just below the note in obviously different handwriting.

Now, the obvious question: does it make more sense to add this if the signature is real, or if it's fake?

She added the date and location underneath the message that Moore wrote and signed. Its a ludicrous "story" to attack her with.

It’s sort of ludicrous to attack her for that, but it was immensely stupid not to point out that she wrote that part originally. Even implying he wrote it was possibly the dumbest thing imaginable. Was her original attorney behind that decision a piece of fruit laying atop a wire hanger?

If you’re accusing someone of something, the last thing you can do is give even the appearance you might be less than 100% truthful in your accusation.

I thought we were supposed to believe the women, no matter what?

They know facts don't matter and most people will now believe she faked the whole thing. Instead of just being stupid about it. Since one faked it they all did because that's how people think so it seems almost assured he's gonna win now.

NYT has literally copied their article title directly from the first 3/4ths of the Faux News article title.

Librul media indeed.

Shameless.
12-08-2017 , 04:57 PM
Just catching up, so did she supposedly write in those details recently or decades ago? It would seem to make a pretty big difference at least in appearance.

An expert has concluded that Roy Moore inscribed a message in the yearbook of a woman who says he sexually assaulted her when she was 16, according to the accuser's lawyer.

Moore for weeks has denied that the 1977 message was his handwriting and said he doesn't remember the woman, Beverly Young Nelson. But in a news conference Friday in Atlanta, attorney Gloria Allred said handwriting expert Arthur T. Anthony compared the yearbook signature to others by Moore in the years since and determined he wrote the decades-old entry.

Not that it'll matter, but still.

Is this the same news the Moore supporters are using to claim it was forged because that specific part was added?

Dems need to have a plan when this clown is in the Senate. Like call this loser out every single day. Get in his face in the hallway and tell him that he and every one of his voters is a worthless piece of trash.

Is it possible that Republicans are holding back some damning evidence until after the election? By doing that they keep Jones from being elected. It also gets them out of the conumdrum that it would be wrong to eject a Senator based purely on evidence that those who put him in office were aware of when they voted.

Mitch McTurtle already walked backed giving him the boot. He’s going to be a pedo senator when the deplorable state of Alabama elects him.

I know you are just joking, but anyone who actually believes that Moore's support is limited to uneducated guys who hunt hogs and drink Budweiser tall boys is misunderstanding the problem.

I find it exceedingly unlikely that Republicans have something on Moore that no Democrat was able to find. And it would have to have been discovered recently. Otherwise Strange would have used it.

Moore's accusers are Republicans. It is not that far fetched that a new accuser, or an old one with new evidence would take it to them, but not to the newspapers, and then be willing to cooperate. My theory would also explain why the RNC is now willing to make themselves look bad by reversing course. (This is all assuming that if Moore is ejected they get another Republican. That is correct isn't it?)

I think it's a bit simpler than this. There's the saying politics is downstream from culture, or to say it a bit more complex sometimes politicians are slow to have their ear to the ground and know what their constituents want. Democrats were slow to pick up that their Democratic constituents wanted anyone who's had sexual harassment claims against them out instead of maybe having a short public appearance apologizing or sweeping it under the rug so it took them a while to get behind getting rid of Franklin and Conyers.

Republicans had the opposite problem because they underestimated how deplorable their constituents are. Their internal norms of being legislatures were to reject Moore because of the multiple accusations against him, degrading the Senate, etc.. What voters wanted peculated up and they realized that very few of their constituents actually want Moore gone regardless of what he's done so now they're backtracking. If anything it's a bit of inter Republican fighting because the #neverTrumpers are coming out strongly against Moore because they see him as a continuation of the degradation that Trump brought, and the Trumpists see the #neverTrumpers going against Moore and think they need to support him to own the libs and the high falutin Republicans.

David,
why are you contorting yourself to come up with a scenario where the Republicans are playing 4D-Chess instead of taking their actions at face value?
