Alabama senate candidate Roy Moore has been accused of sexual misconduct with a 14-year-old girl when he was 32. Three other women have since said Moore tried to kiss them when they were teenagers and he was in his 30s. Should Moore step aside?

This is a rather difficult question due to the 6th Amendment. I find sex offenders to be among the wicked lot of corrupted individuals on earth who’s greatest contribution is the nourishment of the wretchedness that the human condition is plagued by, however, we have to be careful not to set an informal precedent for future cases. In other words, the accused is innocent until proven guilty, therefore, should public opinion make a habit of forcing any one who is accused of such crimes drop out of an election prior to the verdict, we will possibly be risking the careers of honest men and woman who maybe unjustly accused. Should the accused win the elec. prior to a guilty verdict, than impeachment is the legal remedy. I believe that the former is how a “nation of laws” should operate.

Dems don't want to take away your guns, they just want to keep guns out of the hands of people who use them to do harm. Dems don't want to kill babies, they only want to give women a choice when it comes to things like incest, rape, and medical complications, Dems are pro Muslims because 99 percent of them are good people working quietly to keep this country running while republican's shout they are terrorists. Maybe quit looking at things so black and white.

Since Former President Bill Clinton Sexually assaulted at least 18 women, should he have been forced by law to stand trial against those accusations of which many had eye witnesses. The Roy Moore frenzy is nothing more than a payback against the anti-Establishment Republicans. Not to mention how did the media obtain 4 different women’s information after 40+ years? This has the CIA written all over it. And who was the head of the CIA in 1975-1977? H.W. Bush

On a side note: I don't mean to be rude or disrespectful over my lifetime over 75% of rape cases that I have studied the female without any doubt consented on video, but since they didn't know the establishment was recording (or in some cases the male counterpart had a hidden cam in public), they tried to claim they were raped. These are records from courtrooms over the past 20 years and I am talking about highschool through middle aged people. Like I said before no disrespect or anything but damn experience really tilted me from ever believing a rape story. If you are a female and reading this, if you consent don't pull the rape card, please. You are really making it easier for males to rape females and get away with it.

I've started out in Dominoes position, but I think you've got a good point, Henry. It would probably good for the GOP (not indicating I'm a republican) as a whole if he did, because it's likely something that will just keep coming up with him over time, distracting from their overall plan. Like Hillary Clinton, he's tainted with accusations, which ruins public opinion for him (though doesn't seem the case with a lot of Alabama voters, though is harder to supporter him than say another candidate, as a whole), whether ultimately true or not. This isn't about truth, this is about perception, and his perception looks bad.

This will be a 6-way split-screen, live, Pay-Per-View event. The 6th screen will be a 3-person panel of 'experts', administering the polygraph examination of all participants. This panel may include (But I’m open to suggestions!): Gloria Allred, Bill O’Reilly, Father Guido Sarducci, Woody Allen, Kevin Hart, Don Lemon, Jesse Ventura, etc.

They're not quite back to where they should be yet, but that'll take a few more days.

And the Politicians page is broken (it's now blank, in case you hadn't noticed) because the API that SOH used isn't available any longer; I'm told they'll find something else.

And I actually got a reply from SOH staff about all this. (I just saw that last night; I'm going to mention it in the several polls users had made about both issues, once I relocate them...) (And yeah, I was surprised. Pleasantly.)
