It's one, big, happy family of sexual predators, snobby billionaires, abusers, serial liars, and Nazi provocateurs.

he is not a pedophile. Pedophiles are after pre-pubescent children. His victims were older than that. Still children and still wrong, but he's not a pedophile. Unless I missed something.........

As is everyone who votes for Moore.

I listened to the women and their stories and they sounded credible. Then I listened to Moore's various denials and the quality of those denials - the context, the angle approached, the endless victim blaming & lies about women and "the times" - all screamed 'Yes, I did it but (insert lame and disgusting excuse).

I saw a woman on the news contort herself into a pretzel in her defense of voting for Moore. I felt both sorry for her and disgusted by her. She had a message to deliver and she was determined to stay on message but every now and then the hypocrisy and impact of what she was doing flashed across her face, and I knew then that she knew she was so shamefully wrong - but that didn't stop her.
