Mitt Romney, the failed presidential candidate, said of Judge Roy Moore on CNN that the judge is guilty of sexual misconduct even if he is not actually guilty. Romney claims that Moore is considered guilty because there can be no defense and because one cannot disprove the allegations. As of this writing, Moore has denied the allegations of sexual misconduct. So where do we go from here?
Moore deserves to face his accusers and have the real truth come out and if those individuals will not do so, they should put up or shut up. Romney stated that basically, that it is not a question of guilt or innocence; in cases of sexual misconduct, that person is always guilty. Has Romney forgotten that everyone deserves his day in court and has the opportunity to face those accusers directly? If you want to destroy a person’s political chances, the one thing to do is to accuse that person of the very “crime” Moore has been accused of. Romney of all people, should agree to this precept.
This is one of many reasons why Romney should never run for the U.S. Senate. With his flip-flopping record on the important issues, Romney would never be elected dog catcher, for even the dogs recognize a nut job.
