In the last three weeks Republican leaders have gone from telling Roy Moore in the Alabama Senate race to drop out or face ethics charges if elected to now saying let the Alabama voters decide!

President Trump, who said then, "If charges are true Moore will do the right thing and step aside," now states, "Democrats' refusal to give even one vote for massive tax cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama!" We can't have a Liberal Democrat added to the Senate!"

President Trump recently stated that Moore denied the accusations so he is not guilty of anything! So in Trump's way of thinking, a person can sexually assault, or worse, a 14-year-old girl and that's OK as long as he denies the charges!

It's amazing to me how the Republicans' moral compass can be changed full circle when a vote in the Senate is needed to pass their legislation.

Wow, this country's so-called leadership stands for nothing more than a vote.
