If Roy Moore wins the Alabama election, will Evangelicals be evaluated much like the Catholic Church was with their pedophilia scandals?
Clearly the majority of Roy Moore aficionados are Evangelicals given his past of ignoring separation of church and state to the point of violating federal court orders to cease and desist his unconstitutional behavior.

Do all democrats who voted for Clinton get evaluated as adulterers and liars?
This is about getting a Republican elected. They can get him to resign or get him kicked out IF the allegations are actually true after the fact and then appoint another Republican. I seriously doubt liberals would all just abandon their political beliefs and vote for a conservative if the situation was reversed.

Your question is flawed. Let's review.
We are aware of the media coverage pertaining to alleged events that transpired over 40 years ago. What happened 40 years ago has very little relevance today. Roy Moore is not the same person he was 40 years ago. We all grow, and we all change. Hopefully, we are all improving.
It is crazy to look back at what someone did 40 years ago, and build a case about their character today. Hey, Roy Moore used to be a Democrat back in those days! Of course he did things that were wrong. HE USED TO BE A DEMOCRAT.
I think Jesus said it best when he said, “Let him who is without sin among you be the first to throw a stone at her.” And one by one, each person dropped their rock, and quietly and shamefully walked away. (They were there to stone a woman to death who had been caught committing adultery. And after everyone left, he told the woman to "go, and sin no more.")
The fact of the matter is, we have ALL SINNED. We have ALL done things that we are not proud of in the past.
If we think the person we elect into office is "sinless," we are sadly deceived.
It seems this whole thing is politically motivated. And while I do question if the allegations are true, 40 years later, I think our focus has to be on their lack of relevancy today. Why did these allegations not matter during the last 40 years, and then they suddenly matter and come to light today? There is a political agenda behind all of this.
To repeat, we are ALL SINNERS. It would be impossible to elect someone into office who has no sin. What matters is their character today, not what they allegedly did 40 years ago.
ADDED: Let's not forget, that our system of justice says you are innocent until proven guilty. So it would be WRONG and defamatory to suggest Roy Moore is guilty of anything. And he will never be charged for any crime. Why? Because the Statute of Limitations expired a few decades ago. And that makes this whole discussion nothing but NONSENSE. (Or nothing more than a political rouse.)

Many years ago - probably 20 or more - Frank Zappa said that America was moving towards a "fascist theocracy".
Were he alive today, he'd probably be smirking at how right he was.

I don't think they should be. Honestly I think Moore should have stepped down, but he hasn't been convicted of anything yet and I believe in due process. I hope he's investigated, and suffers the consequences if he's found guilty. I don't see why those who voted for him should suffer consequences.

I don't know. But if he gets elected, what message does that send to all the daughters of Alabama? To all daughters everywhere? That we would rather have a pedophile who equates what he is accused of doing with Mary and Joseph in the bible serving in a place of power than a democrat? What are we becoming when our elected officials are a choice of evils? I think we are standing at the edge of the abyss and, maybe, this time there's no coming back.

He's from Alabama. He'll probably lower the legal age to 14.
