You realize that there is a 50/50 chance that in about 3 weeks Roy Moore will be in the US Senate and Al Franken will not.

 

It;s a crazy old world.............and that's a fact.

 

 

 

.

So in three weeks the Dems will have done the right thing and Republicans will have gone way down the road towards partisan hell. Just showing the difference between the parties

Rep. Joe Barton (R-Tex.), who apologized Wednesday for a lewd photo of him that circulated on the Internet, told a woman to whom he had sent sexually explicit photos, videos and messages that he would report her to the Capitol Police because she could expose his behavior, according to a recording reviewed by The Washington Post.

The woman spoke to The Post after the lewd photo was published Tuesday by an anonymous Twitter account. She shared a secretly recorded phone conversation she had with Barton in 2015 in which he warned her against using the explicit materials...

"on top" indicates a certain kind of action, these bozos aren't having sex, they are acting out in very disturbing and totally incomprehensible nonsense

All my friends of Euro descent, we were born in the 1960s,  basically had their mother sent to Canada when they were 12 or so and a blind arranged marriage to someone who earlier arrived from Italy or another country destroyed by WW2

MICHAEL WALSH ON ROY MOORE AND THE FIRE THIS TIME.

 

FTA:

The initial burst of accusations, coupled with an outside-the-deep-South ick factor regarding grown men chasing high school girls, might have sunk (and still might, if anything more, and worse, comes out) Moore but for several factors. One is that the election is taking place in Alabama, not on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a place where the idea of federalism and individualistic regions and states is becoming increasingly anathema to its essentially one-size-fits-all fascist ethic; as the socialist Benito Mussolini famously said, "Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state."

 

For another, the conflagration that claimed the reputations and careers of Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, et al., and which continues to roar up the mountain to where the swell folks live, has made everybody forget about the li'l ole tarpaper shack down the holler that is Roy Moore.

 

And then there's the media...(multiples sites quotes)

 

{snip} 

 

All of these are deserving of comment, to be sure. But there is one hot take that the media seems to be missing—the one about the role it has played in creating this sad, sordid, sickening mess in the first place.

 

How have we reached a point in this country when nearly half the voters of a U.S. state so mistrust, and even revile, major media outlets that they are willing to brush aside credible evidence and elect an accused sexual predator simply out of spite?

Easy.

 

"People". Are. Pissed. Off.

 

"people" are done with the left, the media, government employees, and the average university professor, because "people" have seen and heard from them for 30 years, and nothing good has come from them. Micheal Moore said electing Trump was going to be the biggest F. U. in history. He was wrong. Re-electing Trump is going to be the biggest  F. U. in history.

 

We aren't going to stop until the corrections to DC are complete. Trump was/is correct: we never really cared about him personally, and we never will. I don't think he could shoot somebody on 5th Ave, but, I do think he could kick a reporter in the nuts, and get a 3 pt bump in approval rating.

 

All we care about is that he destroys the self-appointed, non-elected, and therefore: wholly unaccountable and incompetent administrative state, and their pals(often husbands and wives :rolleyes: ) in the media. All we care about is the bloodless destruction of DC, by forced retirement and flat-out firing, by not hiring new people, and by reducing the # of regulations, therefore reducing the need for regulators. As of today there are STILL 220,000 people, mostly lawyers, in charge writing new regulations, and then, by fiat, enforcing what they write. They cost us $162 million a year, while taking $1.5 TRILLION out of the economy.

 

We'll be done, when there are only 22,000 of them left, and they only have the power that the US Congress expressly gives them, by law. Until then? It doesn't matter what Trump tweets, or what shoes Melania is wearing. Talk about that all you want, when you get done, we're still going to vote for the guy who will put an end to the administrative state.

 

What does this have to do with Roy Moore? Everything, and, nothing.

ROY MOORE FOR SENATE!

by John Hinderaker

I wouldn’t have voted for Judge Roy Moore in the Republican primary, and I tend to view him with distaste. But in the special election coming up in a couple of weeks, if I were an Alabama voter, I would cast my ballot for him .

Why? Two reasons. But first, the latest poll results from Alabama, via WBRC TV. This appears to be a meaningful poll, as it surveyed 3,000 likely Alabama voters–a substantial number. It shows Roy Moore coming back from the attacks on him to take a two-point lead, 47% to 45%.

This poll, taken last Monday evening, is already somewhat out of date. But I think it is easy to see why Alabama voters are trending back toward Judge Moore. As I said, there are two reasons:

1) Apparently Moore has done nothing wrong in the last 40 years. If he had, we would have heard about it. And if he has been pure for 40 years, or close to that time, he will be the most upright man in Washington, D.C. It wasn’t much more than 40 years ago when Ted Kennedy drowned Mary Jo Kopechne, and it was just under 40 years ago when Bill Clinton allegedly raped Juanita Broaddrick. If those offenses can be forgiven, Roy Moore’s (weakly) alleged offenses should be forgiven, too–especially since, unlike Ted Kennedy and Bill Clinton, he seems to have done nothing reprehensible in the decades that have gone by since.

2) His opponent is a Democrat. ‘Nuff said–President Trump was right about this. The Democrats are doing everything they can to block the Republican agenda in the Senate, and giving them another seat would only empower the flakes like John McCain and Susan Collins who seek to mold every vote toward their own eccentric visions.

Of course, you should vote for the dem if you believe Gator's he's a pedophile template..............:lol:

That's to marry. Not consent. It can differ by state but federally is 18.

Sure. I'm not in any way trying to minimize the seriousness of the alleged crimes Moore's been accused of. Just pointing out that children get married in this country, and a lot of those happen in the "sophisticated" northern states. Maybe he was trying to date some young girls. I wasn't there. I don't know what happened. Hardly anyone does. Certainly no one posting here knows jack **** about it for certain.
