    • Yep, Moore very well might win regardless, and that would speak to the character of those Alabamans that voted for him. I mean, the guy wasn't fit for a Senate seat even before all of these sexual abuse allegations came up..

        I don't think so. But I hope so.

Sounds like a delaying tactic to me.
          A Senate hearing is for all intents and purposes a trial by the Senate.

          But of course it's a delay tactic, because they know that if they allow an expert to examine the signature then it's all over for them.

          In a recent interview, CNN's Wolf Blitzer repeatedly asked Allred if the signature was a forgery, and she refused to give a straight answer:

          “Well, all I’m saying is, we will permit an independent examiner of the writing…We will allow all of this to be asked and answered at the hearing,” Allred said.

          “But that’s not a flat denial, Gloria,” Blitzer said.

          “Well, all I’m saying is, we’re not denying, we’re not admitting, we’re not addressing,” Allred said. “We will not be distracted.”

          Blitzer asked why Allred needed a Senate hearing and would not just permit an independent handwriting expert to take a look.

          “Well, uh, all I can say is we want it done in a professional setting to the extent possible, that’s the only setting in which people can testify under oath,” Allred said.

            derp! I was thinking of a legal hearing in a courtroom.

            never mind.

            • Well Allred has to keep open the possibility that it will be exposed as a fake so she can say she had no idea and throw her client under the bus. That is why she is not answering direct questions about the yearbook.

                Of course Jim, you were clamoring for Bill Clinton to resign after allegations of not only sexual harassment but of actual rape. Just about every high profile Democrat defended him and attacked the accusers. What does that say about the character of Democratic party?

                  What it tells me is that she positively knows it is fake, and that the whole thing is a scam.

                  Her client claimed on television that she only decided to accuse Moore after hearing the other women in the news -- which came out Thursday November 09. Gloria brought her client to a press conference, complete with two physical items and a complete scripted statement, on Monday November 13. So we are expected to believe that this lady saw the news sometime on Thursday, managed to obtain a high-priced lawyer and get up to New York for a press conference by Monday to give her performance. That part of it was one of the parts that always sounded incredibly flaky. My point is that Gloria Allred knows when she was retained. If it was before November 09, then she is fully aware of the fraud she is perpetuating.

                    That's so simplistic. There are a lot of reasons somebody votes one way or another, and it doesn't mean they approve of the character of the person for whom they vote. You seem to have an inability to grasp that concept on any level at all.

                    So, you're going to call for Al Franken to resign, yes?

                      The character that the person had 40 years ago, you mean.

                          Al Franken is one of the more egregious examples of "unfit for a Senate seat" - even without the documented allegations of sexual assault.

                            Absolutely! And he's dumb enough to pose for a PHOTO of his sexual groping stupidity!

                              He's a comedian, so I'm sure he meant it as a harmless joke.

                              Yes, I'm being sarcastic.

                                Do you think a person who wouldn't vote for a rapist is morally superior to a person who would vote for a rapist? Do you think a person voting for a rapist is compromising their morals? Is there any crime a candidate who will vote as you wish them to do could have done that would stop you from voting for them?
