Yet, there seems to me to have been one aspect of politics which has turned more ugly and sinister of late; the way candidates are taken down, or out of the running in order to gain the advantage whether it's the opposition, or the candidates' own party. This particular aspect is merely allegation against him or her who poses a threat to the established order.
The media, of course, is eager to disseminate allegations for they generate more interest. Then again, they're notorious in ignoring the 4 year investigation of sitting Senator Bob Menendez who's been convicted of cavorting with child prostitutes in another country. This simple fact, in my view, is a perfect example of why the media promotes rumor and innuendo - whether it violates the reason our laws ignore such salacious ideas until evidence proves otherwise - out of its own selfish interest to make money regardless of whether it destroys someone or not. That, in my book, is evil!
The Roy Moore for Senate race in Alabama is exactly why I'm posting this topic today. Over the past several days, Moore has vehemently denied the allegations that he supposedly touched inappropriately a 14 year old girl when he was a 32 year old attorney general in Alabama FORTY TWO years ago. When you think about this, one can't help but conclude that some opposition agent spent weeks, if not months, sniffing around and seeking out someone who had some kind of dirt on him. These are the type of people who have no decency or scruples, and operate on the concept that winning at any price is justified.
In the past, when someone was alleged to have done something like this, common decency in our society - and before the Democrats were taken over by the ultra-leftists - such claims would be investigated first for proof that could be used in a court of law to convict the individual. Now, if anything is found that could be used against them to sully their reputation at all, its shared with the media as headline news and the target has to spend energy defending their self, rather than focus on their policies as a candidate to win votes. This is known by Dems as targeting and marginalizing by Saul Alynski rules.
For an alternative, but highly informative, perspective on this issue, I recommend watching Stefan Molyneux's video at this link. He covers motive, character, timing and consistency of the accusers and those who back them in such a unique situation.
Now, what's even more telling is that the GOP - but more so in the Senate - has announced they're taking away any financial support from any candidate that's attacked in this manner. Yet, here's what Moore himself states in one of his outreach pieces regarding this investigation; decide for yourself:
As you know, I've been closely scrutinized in the press and the liberal media for forty years . . .
I've been investigated by politically-motivated Attorney Generals and judicial commissions on several occasions . . .
I've run five campaigns against opponents who did opposition research against me -- including statewide elections, county elections and two major battles over religious liberty and the Ten Commandments . . .
The truth is, I've probably been investigated as much as anyone in the entire country.
Yet the liberal media and GOP establishment expects voters to believe these false accusations made after forty years, just a few short weeks before this critical December 12 Special Election?
This only shows how much the elites believe that we the unwashed masses are stupid and gullible, that we're not intelligent enough to see through their game. Sadly, it seems they're counting on the fact that there are more today who fit this description. Only the local people of Alabama really know what type of character Judge Roy Moore really is and only they can vote for, or against him.
