The Tale Of A Lesser Moore, Con't

Alabama Republicans simply don't believe the Washington Post's allegations of sexual abuse and pedophilia against Roy Moore, so they will happily vote the monster into office in nine days.

A new CBS News poll finds 71 percent of Alabama Republicans say the allegations against Roy Moore are false, and those who believe this also overwhelmingly believe Democrats and the media are behind those allegations.

The poll found 92 percent of Republicans who don't believe the allegations against Moore say the Democrats are behind the charges, and 88 percent say newspapers and the media are behind them.

Multiple women have come forward to accuse Moore of inappropriately pursuingor touching them when they were teenagers. The youngest woman to accuse Moore says she was 14 and he was 32 at the time.

The Senate contest looks to be highly dependent on turnout. Moore has a lead over Democrat Doug Jones, 49 percent to 43 percent, among the likely voters who are most apt to vote on Dec. 12. Among all registered voters, the contest is even. And nearly a quarter of voters still describe themselves as "maybe" or "probably" going to vote.

It's a plot by the Democrats and the media, you see. The dog whistle of "If these allegations are true then Moore should step aside" has been received loud and clear as the end justifies the means. Moore hasn't stepped aside, ergo the allegations are a Democratic plot.  Voters simply do not care.

A majority of Alabama Republican voters (53 percent) say the allegations against Moore are a concern, but that other things matter more. One-third of Republicans say the allegations are not a concern to them.

The majority of Alabama voters are willing to overlook a sex criminal because he's a Republican. He's our pervert goddammit, at least he's not a goddamn hippie.

Moore will win easily in the state that elected Trump by 28 points, elected by voters who see being a Democrat as a worse crime than sexual abuse of 14-year-old girls.  This has always been our country, we reap what has been sown in the name of extending white supremacy since the beginning.   And in the end, Moore will win because this is Trump's America now.

The poll also found 49 percent of Moore voters say their Senate vote is in support of President Trump, and 23 percent of Moore voters say the president's comments about the race, specifically, have made them more likely to back Moore.

Among all registered voters, the president has a 57 percent approval rating in the state. Among Moore's voters, it is an astounding 96 percent approval.

"Also did you know Obama was really born in Kenya?" will be the next thing out of Moore voters' mouths after they leave the voting booth.
