But when either of the candidates makes it to the December special election, they both appear to underperform against Jones, who is polling at 40 percent when pitted against Strange, who polls at 43 percent. When pitted against Moore, Jones pulls 40 percent again, compared to Moore’s 44 percent.

This article has a funny way of stating this but basically the Democratic candidate get 40% in polls whether running against Moore or his likely replacement if he steps down, Luther Strange (some Alabama politicians have "strange names" such as Public Service Commission President Twinkle Andress Cavanaugh :) ) At any rate it is unlikely that either Moore or Strange would be defeated so where is the incentive to get Moore out. I imagine that since Trump supported Strange, many Republican politicians would be even more glad than the Democrats to have Moore out of the race. He is a disruptive force in the party (removed twice from the Supreme Court for ethics violations). He is unlikely to be a team player. Alabama is a red state and for a democrat to get elected Gov or Representative of Senator is getting harder and harder. The in crowd, the elites are often banded together against populists regardless of party. But in Roy's case I doubt if he is a true populist but rather following the tradition of such people as George Wallace. But I would if I had the chance vote Wallace over Moore. Moore is a shameless self promoter.

This whole story is irrelevant. If the stories are correct I do not consider what he did if he did it pedophilia as such...he was an older man dating teenage girls which was not totally out of the norm for Alabama. He went a bit far with one which is not totally out of the norm in dating, but he is not accused of having sex with any of the women. He ended up marrying a few years later a woman who was 24, so a bit older but clearly, like many men he preferred younger women. But in the morals of the time the partial undressing and touching was not what good unmarried Christian men were supposed to do. It does speak to the character of the man who has other moral failings, which is not unusual for those who try to make themselves a name as a hero Christian. But even if he did nothing to these women he has other moral failings. How many church leaders and super Christian politicians have to be exposed before Christians understand that there are many wolves in sheep's clothing out there. The true hero Christians are out acting on the words of Jesus "Like as you have done it to the least of these my brethern..." They are not seeking political power, building massive churches, making names for themselves....they are humbly walking as Jesus did, poor and among the poor, feeding and clothing the least of these... Not dragging statues of the 10 Commandments around in the middle of the night...not to make Alabama more religious, but to make a name for himself. Jesus was none to happy with those who use religion to make names for themselves.... Matthew 6:5-6 “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go into your room and shut the door and pray to your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you."

Foundation for Moral Law Moore founded the nonprofit Christian legal organization Foundation for Moral Law in 2002.[102] Moore's wife, Kayla, is the president of the Foundation for Moral Law. [103] In 2005, Moore's Foundation for Moral Law accepted a $1,000 contribution from a neo-Nazi organization founded by Willis Carto, a prominent Holocaust denier. The donation attracted attention during Moore's 2017 campaign for a Senate seat.[104][105][106] Undisclosed salary payments Moore publicly said that he did not draw a "regular salary" from the organization, yet in October 2017, The Washington Post found that Moore had arranged an annual salary of $180,000 for himself from the foundation.[18] From 2007 to 2012, he collected more than $1 million; a number that far surpasses what the nonprofit declared in its public tax filings.[18] Furthermore, The Washington Post found that Moore arranged the salary, and in 2012 when the charity could not pay his full salary, Moore got a note promising that he would get the salary in back pay or a stake in the assets of the foundation.[18] The foundation also paid for Moore's health-care benefits, travel expenses, and bodyguard, and the foundation's website has regularly promoted Moore's speaking arrangements and book.[18] Furthermore, the foundation employed Moore's wife and at least two of Moore's children.[18] The Washington Post also noted that there was considerable overlap between the charity and Moore's political activities, with previous top officials of the charity leading Moore's 2017 Senate campaign and with the charity using the same fundraising firm as Moore's campaigns.[18] The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) warned the foundation about discrepancies in its tax filings in 2013, saying that the issues "could jeopardize your exempt status".[18] A number of charity and tax law experts have said that the foundation's activities "raised questions about compliance with IRS rules, including prohibitions on the use of a charity for the private benefit or enrichment of an individual".[18] Additional reporting by The Washington Post that October found that the $498,000 that Moore was guaranteed in back pay was not declared to the IRS; tax experts say that it should have been and that Moore would have had to pay more than $100,000 in federal tax.[107]

Creating a false narrative about pedo politicians is the goal right now, so it's easier for them to deny it later. They're creating their own defense.

This sounds like a run around. Some body that lived here and worked there was married to a woman that heard from a friend in Alabama that some reporter approached her and offered her a lot of money to....... Somehow I just can't wrap my head around this. Sounds a little like my dog ate my homework story.

People need to rise above the political duality. This problem is not specific to one party.

I actually saw shills on r/conspiracy saying that pizzagate was an elaborate hoax to cover up for Roy Moore.

Hi.

This transparently fake.

You need to be able to sniff out fake news better.
