McCain: Allegations against Moore 'deeply disturbing and disqualifying'
2017-11-10
[The Hill] Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) is calling on Alabama Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore to exit the race amid allegations of an inappropriate sexual encounter with a 14-year-old girl in 1979.

"The allegations against Roy Moore are deeply disturbing and disqualifying," McCain said in a statement. "He should immediately step aside and allow the people of Alabama to elect a candidate they can be proud of."

In calling for Moore to step aside, McCain joined a growing number of Senate Republicans condemning the allegations against the former Alabama Supreme Court chief justice.
Of course the well documented actions of Kennedy, Clinton, Menendez, and countless others are no way a representation of total hypocrisy.

#18  Personally I find this sort of thing disgusting and it doesn't matter if Clinton got away with it or not. IF TRUE he should be shamed out of office. If UNTRUE the ones making the claim should be prosecuted in some way shape or form.

#16  "Harry Reid, D-Nev. has no regrets about his 2012 claims that then presidential candidate Mitt Romney paid no taxes for 10 years.

The outgoing Senate Minority Leader even bragged to CNN that the comments, which had been described as McCarthyism, helped keep Romney from winning the election.

"They can call it whatever they want. Romney didn't win did he?" Reid said during a wide-ranging interview."

#15  I'm at the point where I don't even care if it's true.

Look at the shit Clinton still gets away with, and how no one says boo about Menendez.

I hope the GOP voters don't fall into the trap of "Well, we'll punish our own for malfeasance and then hope we get the same courtesy from the Left."

That trick never works.

Time to stop being suckers, GOP voters.

The rules are only enforced on you and yours.

So, to hell with the rules.

#14  Hat tip to Senator Mitch McConnell for such a courageous stand in support of the democratically elected representative of the people.

#10  We shall see if the accusers sort of fade away the way the Trump accusers did once the damage is already done and the spotlight is on them.

#9  Roy Moore is 70 years old. This alleged encounter took place when he was 32! The statute of limitations has long since expired.

And McCain's hands (and other body parts) aren't particularly clean.

#5  McCain, Pelosi, Feinstein, and Clinton; there appears to be a common thread, and it has nothing to do with political affiliation.
