Yes i do think this is nothing more than a smear piece.. Take the facts into account.
WHY IS it these women waited AFTER he was a sitting judge, and AFTER he was running against the other GOP contender to come forward if it was NOT to discredit him in the main election?
Secondly, we've already SEEN THE SAME tactics used against Clarence Thomas and others, one of which i DO Remember Harry Reid after the guy dropped out and it was THEN Stated the claim was false what he thought of it and his simple answer was "Who cares, it worked didn't it!"

They have been caughter several times in the past few years reporting fake news. That doesn't help their credibility. The fact that they won't give the source out and I'm not talking about an identity but maybe who the source works for. This source came up with not one but four completely different women who did not come forward, who did not know each other, and did not file any charges. Who has that kind of intel operation?

You also need to look in the past, and see how many OTHER people running for office have had this exact sort of smeer campaign used against them, AND WHAT happened to those accusations the MINUTE said person dropped out. PRactically all of them disappeared..

I wouldn't call that a crack. I would call that a blatant lie..

He was nominated to be the Chief Justice and no one thought they should say something. How could they know that Moore would be nominated to be a US senator? No, the timing is very suspect.

Which is why to ME, this is all fake.

That's a great point TRB. We know Pados only stop when locked up or are dead.. SO Why is it this guy never did it again??

And the part that makes me VERY Suspect is rather than calling for an investigation, ALL we see the GOP doing is demanding he drop out, Cause while innocent till proven matters with criminals, as Kerry said (or was it Mccain) When it comes to politicians, MERE ACCUSATIONS are all that matter.
BUT IF THAT was the case, then we should have had a HELL OF A LOT of other politicians either drop out, be recalled or flat out fired/in jail..

What's the charge? I hear the accuser is/was a Hillary volunteer. This has gotten ridiculous with accusers coming out of the woodwork from 20+ years ago with little or no corroborating evidence. It's not just Roy Moore's accuser.

That is very true. 20+ years down the road there is little that Moore can do to defend himself against these accusations other than just deny, deny, deny. CAUSE theres no way there is any actual proof of it, for him to use/counter..
