The problem with government is it elevates people to positions of power over their fellow citizens. And all too often, these people take advantage of their status.

The Canadian government systematically robs, discriminates against and impoverishes Canadian youth. The hard fact is that most are thus on their own. The sooner they realize it, the better.

# Roy Moore Denies "Completely False" Teen Sex-Abuse Allegations, Has "Evidence Of Collusion"

"It never happened... If you abuse a 14-year-old you shouldn't be a Senate candidate. I agree with that," Moore said. "But I did not do that."

In his first interview since the Washington Post published the explosive allegations regarding his sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl in 1979, Moore - the Republican nominee for the U.S. Senate in Alabama - appeared on Sean Hannity's radio show Friday. The former Alabama Supreme Court justice told the host that:

> “These allegations are completely false and misleading,” Moore said.

> “But more than that, it hurts me personally because, you know I’m a father. I have one daughter. I have five granddaughters. And I have a special concern for the protections of young ladies. This is really hard to get on radio and explain this. These allegations are just completely false.”

> “I don’t know Ms. Corfman from anybody," Moore said.

As The Hill reports, The Washington Post also reported allegations from three other women, who said they were underaged when Moore pursued romantic or sexual relationships with them, and another woman who said he provided her alcohol when she was underaged. In the interview, Moore did not deny the possibility he dated women who were younger than 18 when he was in his 30s, but pointed out that most of the women in their accounts to the newspaper do not claim inappropriate sexual behavior.

> “Obviously there was never any sexual activity ... the behavior was altogether appropriate according to them,” he said.

Moore acknowledged that he remembers two of the women named in the report: Debbie Wesson Gibson, who was 17 in her account, and Gloria Thacker Deason, who was 18 at the time of her alleged relationship with Moore.

He said he does not remember whether he dated either of them, but does not recall "specific dates."

> “This was 40 years ago and after my return from the military, I dated a lot of young ladies," he said.

When asked if he remembered dating any woman who was in her late teens while he was a 30-something, Moore said, “not generally, no" and that it would be "out of my customary behavior."

> “I don’t remember that, and I don’t remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother," he added.

> “I knew her as a friend; if we did go out on dates then we did, but I do not remember that," he said of Gibson, who called her relationship with Moore “inappropriate” in hindsight to The Washington Post, due to their age difference.

Deason “believes she was younger than 19,” the legal drinking age in Alabama at the time, when Moore would order her alcohol on dates, she told the newspaper. Moore disputed that.

> “As I recall she was 19 or older,” he said.

> “I remember her as a good girl.”

Intriguingly, Moore then told Hannity that they "have some evidence of collusion" but are not ready to release that to the public just yet...

> — Alazar Moges (@zarzarbinkss) November 10, 2017

Following the interview, Moore released a full statement:

> MONTGOMERY, Ala. — On Friday afternoon Judge Roy Moore issued a statement responding to the Was hington Post's baseless attacks on his character:

> "Yesterday. I made a statement that the allegations described in a Washington Post article against me about s exual impropriety were false.

> "It has been a tough 24 hours because my wife and I were blindsided by an article based on a lie supported by innuendo.

> "It seems that in the political arena, to say that something is not true is simply not good enough.

> "So let me be clear

> "I have never provided alcohol to minors, and I have never engaged in sexual misconduct. As a father of a daughter and a grandfather of five granddaughters, I condemn the actions of any man who engages in sexual misconduct not just against minors but against any woman.

> "I also believe that any person who has been abused should feel the liberty to come forward and seek protection.

> "I know that a lot of people wonder why this story was written. Why would women say these things if they are not true? I can't fully answer that because as much as I have disagreed vehemently on political issues with many people over the years, I cannot understand the mentality of using such a dangerous lie to try to personally destroy someone.

> "As a former Judge and administer of the law, I take the protection of our innocent as one of my most sacred callings. False allegations are gravely serious and will have a profound consequence on those who are truly harassed or molested.

> "I strongly urge the Washington Post, and everyone involved, to tell the truth.

> "That is all we can do. and I trust that the people of Alabama, who know my record after 40 years of public service, will vouch for my character and commitment to the rule of law."

Finally, AP reports that the Alabama Secretary of State has confirmed that it is too close to the vote for the Moore's name to be removed from the ballot.

This does sound a bit fishy

The RINOs could not come up with something crazy like a pick-up with a Confederate Flag and Roy Moore sticker on the bumper running over Mexicans, Muslims and black kids.

Fake rape or assault charges are the next best thing.

yep, going with whatever is currently in the news cycle.

Elsewise the sheep won't pay attention.

yeah, i'm dam glad i didn't get into politics (or the movies for that matter).

Though it would be nice to see how they all look nowadays...

Dutti bigdumbnugly Nov 10, 2017 5:22 PM

They only waited 38 years to come out with a story which they expect to lead to the result that Judge Roy Moore will lose against the Dem. nominee.

The Dems and the establishment Repubs would be happy to see the guy who is supported by the anti establishment (Steve Bannon etc.) go down in flames.

However I hope that the good people of Alabma will see through these shenanigans and vote for Moore even more forcefully.

Gap Admirer Dutti Nov 10, 2017 5:42 PM

Back in the 1990's, I believe, Barney Franks (D- Mass) was caught running a gay prostitution business in his D.C. residence. He won re-election after that.

I believe that last second allegations against Judge Moore are false, partially because this is standard democrat playbook. The double standard is mind boggling. I guess if it was a man accusing Moore of sex with him as a minor 40 years ago the Post would be praising him? "Yea Barney Franks!!"

IH8OBAMA Gap Admirer Nov 10, 2017 5:45 PM

“... and I don’t remember ever dating any girl without the permission of her mother,"

What? Who asks a girls mother if it's OK to date her daughter? It's hard enough getting a date with a pretty girl for most of us by just asking the girl!

butchtrucks Gap Admirer Nov 10, 2017 6:05 PM

No big deal. They all just kissin’ cousins anyway in those parts.

ACP Dutti Nov 10, 2017 5:34 PM

Apparently there are recordings of one of the WAPO propagandists offering another woman $1000 to accuse Moore.

Supposedly going to the Etowah county DA with this info, not the FBI because they are completely compromised.

We'll see how this pans out:

Roy Moore Denies "Completely False" Teen Sex-Abuse Allegations, Has "Evidence Of Collusion" Republican Senatorial Committee Cuts Off Roy Moore's Funding

My response: These charges against Roy Moore are PURE and UNMITIGATED BULLSHIT!!!!

Planned Parenthood and deep state (IC, RINOS & DEMOCRATS) probably behind this CRAP.

Roy Moore is an honorable man above this sort of stuff!!!!!!

The DEEP STATE DESPOTS are a bunch of GUTLESS WONDERS who should be put out of business permanently.

SATAN and his DEMONS are working OVERTIME.

Escrava Isaura GUS100CORRINA Nov 10, 2017 5:27 PM

Easy there cowboy. Satan doesn’t exist.

There are all kinds of lies. Your posts ‘exaggerations’ are good examples.

In the case of Moore his lie is to save face.

Moore is in a tough spot.

And, most likely, actually, very likely, these women are telling the truth.

Gap Admirer Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 5:32 PM

"In the case of Moore his lie is to save face."

So you are claiming to have been there to witness what Judge Moore did? You know that he is telling lies?

Escrava Isaura Gap Admirer Nov 10, 2017 5:46 PM

Ironically, because if it was a Hollywood actor facing the same accusation, you and 99.99% of the Hedgers would call the actor a pedophile and his mother a whore, if not something worse.

But, on the politician case, you and 99.99 of Hedgers come to his defense.

Defending a politician? It doesn't get sleazier than that, honey.

I don’t trust either, but, if I had to pick between the two, I’ll take the actor.

At least I’ll know that he’s lying because the actor will change the subject. The politician will keep trying to convince me that he’s innocent.

PrintemDano Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 6:43 PM

This accuser is a hard core leftist, worked for Hillary and other demonic democrats. She has motivation to lie. The actors and actresses are going off on their own ......wake up.....

GreatCaesar'sGhost Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 6:47 PM

So let's see, guy's in public office over 40 years. Running in various elections, opponents always looking for dirt, nothing comes out. Nothing comes out until the establishment, both Dem and Rep, feel threatened. And you believe it. I can't believe anyone would believe it. But you believe it. Unbelievable.

ggm Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 7:04 PM

So far none of the Hollywood perverts have denied the allegations against them.

The timing is what makes this particular claim suspect. The October surprise sex smear is an age-old campaign tactic which is why the accuser will be more heavily scrutinized now than if she had come forward 6 months ago or 6 months in the future.

Sanity Bear Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 7:15 PM

How much more obvious does it have to be that this was made up out of whole cloth? Are you that stupid, or do you think others are?

Gap Admirer Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 7:16 PM

OK, I accept that you were not there so have no idea whether he is lying or not. As a good, honorable, socialist, you may retract your "he's lying" statement now.

The Jaguar Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 5:35 PM

You are the liar, you always have been mr moocher. Why does your weenie liberal brain find sadomasochistic pleasure from being constantly laughed at and made to look a fool on here dolt?

Oldwood Escrava Isaura Nov 10, 2017 6:08 PM

Where has there been ANY such claims made of his behavior in the last thirty years. If this was his character, do you not think there would be contemporary cases? And you are convinced that these are factual claims ONLY after they have been made TWO WEEKS before a vote with NO chance of adequate rebutal. Even if it were true, this is some evil manipulative SHIT and given those circumstances and the relative tame charges made...((.asking for a date?) Where's Woody Allen?) I would vote for him regardless.

There are no bounds for the evil these progressive fucks will do....we must END THEM. VOTE THESE ASSHOLES OUT!!

Escrava Isaura Oldwood Nov 10, 2017 6:34 PM

The same can be said of Kevin Spacey.

It sounds like that both Spacey and Moore didn’t have sex. I guess both knew that they were doing something wrong so they never had the guts to really push it.

In any event, it’s embarrassing because these are TV personalities. And illegal because involved minors.

Also, because it happened in the US. US is a very religious nation.

If these were to happen in France or Italy, they would be laughing about. What? Politicians and actors supposed to be angels?

Miffed Microbio... Oldwood Nov 10, 2017 6:47 PM

I agree. The timing is completely inappropriate and if there was something to be resolved, it should have been done long ago. At this point it should be left alone.

I'm very conflicted on this whole issue. I had a relationship with a 32 year old man when I was 15. It was not sexual, just hand holding and kissing. He wanted to escalate it but I said no. I was a virgin and wasn't ready for that. He eventually asked me to marry him. His mother told me she loved me as a daughter and if I accepted, she would be honored to have me as part of their family. I was way over my head. He was a good, decent man but I didn't love him. I really didn't know what love was.

The terrible part was he worked for my dad. When my mother found his letters to me she insisted he fire him for inappropriate behavior. She accused me of having a sexual relationship with him and didn't believe my denials. It all went to hell. I was given an ultimatum. Go with him and be disowned. My mom insisted we move to Spokane in part to get me away from him. The funny thing was I met Mr in high school in Spokane and he asked me to marry him when I was 16. I agreed at 22 and his mother promptly disowned him for doing so. I guess I was just destined to be off the market soon but Mr had more courage than I.

I think judge Moore did these things. He flirted with a line but didn't cross it. I give him a pass. However I believe now that he has daughters he can see how difficult it is for a young girl to have such attention from someone so much older. You have a physically mature body but the mental maturation just isn't there yet.

Moore, like Trump, has zero credibility because he lies all the time. The voters in the middle realize the lies. You can keep pumping false propoganda, but the Alt-Right is going to get crushed in the polls in 2018 and 2020.
