Your average crazy god fearing Alabama evangelical doesn't have a problem with something that happened 40 years ago. And their Necronomicon backs them up. “Take the Bible. Zachariah and Elizabeth for instance. Zachariah was extremely old to marry Elizabeth and they became the parents of John the Baptist,” Ziegler said choosing his words carefully before invoking Christ. “Also take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.” source-SAD! |

Okay, I what I should have said was an "average GOP voter in Alabama". Are you in Alabama? Even if you are my guess is you are above "average". Listen, I lived in Montgomery for 3.5 years and it is a different place, even compared to the farm/rural areas where I went to HS in my home state of Illinois.
But even beyond that -- the talk is already about the "alleged" activities and Moore is denying any wrong doing. Which, is definitely his right to do. Perhaps the accusations are untrue. Whatever the truth is, he only has to cry "fake news" for about 30 days to get elected and then it is a done deal. |

It is said and done, let's move on." Absolutely not. I don't consider myself a "GOP voter" but a lot of my social and economical leanings make me vote for right of center candidates. I still want this guy gone. Just like Anthony Weiner, he is a sexual predator and while this might be stats barred (I have no idea), at the very least he needs to be out of power. |

You say that jokingly (I assume) but I wouldn't be surprised if the general GOP voter's thoughts on the matter were something along the lines of, "That was more than 35 years ago. It is said and done, let's move on." As I indicated in my previous response -- the Ds had an "okay" chance against Moore. Against anyone who might be selected to replace him on the ballot (if he were to withdraw), they have almost no chance.
What I would be interested in hearing is this: 1) If he does withdraw, what is the process to get a different GOP candidate on the ballet? 2) I assume there is a deadline for when a different/new candidate can be added to the ballot. What is that deadline?
Edit: Ah, I didn't realize there was a "special election" scheduled for Dec 12th. I was assuming the election would be a year from now. So, the time has already passed for getting a replacement on the ballot. Okay -- so, this will be interesting to watch...

Not only is it possible Roy Moore won't step down, it is possible he will still win his run for US Senate. Worse, if he does step down and the GOP gets to appoint someone in his place -- it is very likely that person will win the Senate seat. "Sure he's a pedo, but at least he's not a Democrat!" |

You haven't missed anything, the entertainment scene is not worth following. Especially when the majority of it consists of powerful and famous "unnamed" director/comic/actor/musician is accused of x. Guess who we are talking about and discuss it in our advertisement filled forum. |

Concerning all the examples of harassment, personal or otherwise, relayed here -- while I am aware "that sort of thing happens" I really have to say I saw VERY little of it. I'm tempted to say I didn't see any, but I'll give it the benefit of doubt and guess there must have been one or two incidents. After thinking about it though, I realize my work experience is probably very different from most people. My entire job history:
Paperboy -- pre-HS Detasseling corn -- pre-HS (summers only)
Grocery store bagger/stocker -- last two years of HS
Age 19-22: Different grocery store: Went from part-time bagger to Frozen Foods manage in nine months. Left after 4 years when I helped attempt to unionize the store, and failed.
Attended local Community College for two years.
Age 25-33: USAF
Age 33-54: A single "job". Started in a small company where I already knew most of the people working there. I created/started the help desk. Went on to become a Telecommucation Engineer, spent 3.5 years as a manager, before going back to be a foot soldier, eventually as a Network Engineer (routers and load balancer work mostly).
So, basically -- two real jobs. The USAF and my last one. The one with the most women around was the USAF, which obviously was seriously regimented. In my last one, as I said it was a small company. When I started there were two women, the office manager (who I had previously known) and my boss. An ex-IBM sales person who was a great person and boss. As the company grew there were additional women hired but frankly -- we were so busy working our asses off, there wasn't much time for sexual harassment. We were a small technical office. There were plenty of female sales and support staff, but they were stationed around the country and we rarely saw any of them in person.
We were all friends. Hell, in the early days, say the first five years or so -- it was a pretty standard day to work 10-12 hours, then everyone went out together for dinner and drinks. Then home to sleep and do it all again the next day. |
