This Is the Republican Talking Point Concerning Roy Moore

As of this afternoon, this has been the most common response I've seen on Social Media defending Republican Senatorial candidate Roy Moore over accusations he stalked and dated HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS while he was in his early-to-mid 30s:

If you're wondering who Eric Dondero is, and if you can't see his Twitter Bio in the bottom left corner, here's a copy of that Bio:

Liberty-Identitarian. Social Darwinist, Rugged Individualist, #MAGA Republican, US Rep Ron Paul '97-03, Travel 25 nations/5 conts, Spk 5 langs, US Navy Vet, FSU

Dondero is one of those hard-core Far Right "Individualist" #MAGA types. Who probably sent a ton of FEMA funds requests after getting flooded out this hurricane season.

Happily advertising himself as a Social Darwinist is pretty much all you need to know about how racist a son-of-a-bitch we're dealing with right off the bat.

This is Dondero's position: He will happily back child molesters into one of the highest offices of the nation all because Democrats are even worse.

Just to clarify, there are roughly 750,000 registered sex offenders in the United States as of 2012. The number may well be higher but for the most part it's under one million. Given the overall population for the US is 310 million, that's about 0.002 rounded up, in terms of percentages that's 0.2 Percent of the population. Less Than One Percent.

Meanwhile, there's roughly 96 MILLION registered Democrats across the nation. Not every state lists actual numbers, so we have to extrapolate from the number who self-identify in polling, which is around 31 percent of Americans polled.

Alabama does not list voter registration by party, so at best guess based on the 2016 Generals there were 729,000 who voted for Hillary. There are almost as many Democrats in Alabama as there are sex offenders across all 50 states.

This Dondero fellow is saying he and his partisan side of the aisle will happily accuse 96 MILLION AMERICANS of being WORSE than pedophiles/sex offenders. This sentiment is similar to other Tweeters I've seen online.

Because this is how low the Republican Party has sunk into partisan madness.

They've been told for 40-50-80 years (probably all the way back to FDR) that Democrats were the enemy: A bunch of hippie pot-smoking tree huggers who hate our troops and want to steal everyone's candy under the catch-all nightmare of DREADED SOCIALISM.

This hatred of Democrats, of Libruls and Progressives and Feminazis and Soros-backed Black/Latino street gangs has been hammered in through an increasingly fact-less Right Wing Noise Machine, where their side of GOD GUNS AND TAX CUTS can do wrong and THE HILLARY-OBUMMER CONSPIRACY WILL KILL US ALL.

Rather than concede the likelihood that their Senate candidate in Alabama is an Ephebophile (new word for the day, kids! Now you know what to call those creeps who pop up on your Snapchat) who broke Statutory Rape laws by dating/molesting a 14-YEAR-OLD when Moore was 32, rather than consider Moore's own conflicting excuses as the stories pile up, The Republican and Evangelical faithful would rather let a man they shouldn't ever trust their daughters/granddaugthers with in private get elected to the Senate instead of a Democratic candidate in Doug Jones who just 1) happens to be successful prosecuting the KKK, and 2) not a sex offender.

In only one way can I even understand WHY the Republicans are acting like this: It's because they are stuck on their obsessed mission to pass a tax-cuts bill for their super-rich SuperPAC backers, and their hold on the Senate is tenuous at 52 seats out of 100 (with Pence as tie-breaker). They lose this seat to Jones, they will have only enough wiggle room to lose ONE Republican Senator - because the Democrats are lock-step in opposition to any tax-cuts for the rich - to any upcoming tax bill. Given how not every GOP Senator agrees with what should be cut (moderates like Collins are not on board with eliminating the Estate Tax or giving cuts to those over $1 million in income)  the Hard Right that wants those unpopular cuts will never get that agenda passed. So they NEED Moore - who will gladly sign off on those tax cuts to appease his "Fuck All Those To the Left of Barry Goldwater" mindset - to win at all costs, even at the costs of their own reputations as moralists and Godly Christians.

You always wonder where the Moral Event Horizon is for certain people. How far they will go into that black hole of Total Evil just to destroy everyone else in the process.

Well, we are finding that Moral Event Horizon right now for the Republican Party. They are perfectly willing to cross this line and stand before God and America as Pro-Pedophile.

Goddamn them.

And Goddamn the voters of Alabama if they close their eyes to this and vote for a Goddamn Child Molester.
