Politics of Denunciation Will Soon Have To Stop Even If Moore Is Doomed
2017-11-16
By Conrad Black

[NYSUN] It is hard not to look upon the Roy Moore imbroglio as another well-timed hit-job from a familiar and well-practiced source ‐ the same people who thought they had destroyed the Trump campaign by releasing the Billy Bush tape from eleven years before, and, when that didn’t finish Mr. Trump off, tried the nuclear option late in the campaign by shopping to the press the Steele dossier, which the Clinton campaign had commissioned, with its salacious and seditious elements.

The dossier was so extreme in its allegations and so thoroughly unsupported and unverifiable that even the most rabid Democratic mouthpieces wouldn’t touch it. They could only get a nibble from Yahoo before the election, despite Democratic senator Harry Reid

#6  The shame of it is there was and still is a perfectly good conservative candidate there who is far better than Moore, Mo Brooks.

As it stands, the damage is done and this seat will go to the Democrat based on latest polling if Moore stays in. 50-42% margin among likely voters. The main reason seems to be that GOP turnout (likely voters) is down, probably because the unfavorable opinion jumped from 27% to 49% due to the allegations and constant hammering in the mainstream press.

They have less than a month to fix this or the GOP senate majority becomes very fragile. Keep your eyes on the prize. Majority Leader Schumer, anyone?

#4  "The Era of the Aggrieved Woman™," and nothing good will come

These claims of sexual harassment are being used by the left and by the right as a political weapon to take down anyone who disagrees with your side. It is like a friggin chess game. Moore gets hit by the left and the right comes back and says "I'll raise you a Franken." Eventually, the left will go for "Checkmate." The left will probably have another run at Trump with Allred's fake Jane Doe vs. Trump case which was initially filed in CA and tossed out of the court. Then it was filed in NY. Now it has been filed in DC I think. Politics is a very dirty business and it is played for keeps. The left is more skillful at this game. The Pubs still have a shred of morality.

#2  The Progs are attacking Mr. Moore for behaviors with girls/women who are of age of AL consent (16 y/o) or better.

Yet, they celebrate as diversity a "religion" (1) allowing the marriage of an 80 y/o male and a, say, 12 y/o girl who, btw, has no concept of "consent" in relationships, and (2) Actively promotes the general subjugation of women.

Is Moore a letch? Maybe, but this is for the voters of AL (Many of whom, by the way, may, owing to Ivanka's pronouncement of yesterday, decide that "Trump 2020" is a bridge too far.) to decide.

As I told my Conspriatess last evening, we have entered "The Era of the Aggrieved Woman™," and nothing good will come of it. She agreed.

#1  Black is urbane and erudite, but his constant refrain that - any minute now - common sense, rationality, fair play and justice are going to prevail is just a case of stretching the Silly Putty™ waaaaay past the breaking point.
