Good thing the voters in Alabama aren't being manipulated by outsiders...

Consistent with my lifetime practice of getting information from as close to the original source as possible, whenever possible, I wanted to hear Moore for myself. I had only heard him speak at a rally once before.
Bannon is an interesting mix of intellectual and street fighter. He spoke mainly about Trump and Trumpism before distilling those thoughts into the policy and political framework of Moore's candidacy. Moore's wife, who met him in a bible class, did a good job of rebutting several media distortions about her husband.
Moore is not a polished or eloquent speaker. He probably spoke above the heads of many of the red-meaters in the audience by quoting at length, and from memory, from Samuel Adams, FDR, Lincoln and the bible.
Moore professes that "duty, honor and country" -- inculcated into him on the plains of West Point -- are the values that have framed most of his adult life. Behind that, seems a genuine belief in the overarching importance of god in the life of our country, our society, our Constitution and our laws. He laments the evils that have replaced a forsaken god.
He also recited a poem he wrote 10 years ago, which sort of sums him up:
America the Beautiful
By Judge Roy Moore
America the Beautiful, or so you used to be,
Land of the Pilgrims’ pride, I’m glad they’re not here to see,
Babies piled in dumpsters, abortion on demand,
Oh, sweet land of liberty, your house is on the sand.
Your children wander aimlessly poisoned by cocaine,
Choosing to indulge their lusts, when God has said abstain.
From sea to shining sea this Nation has turned away,
From the teaching of God’s Law, and a need to always pray.
So many worldly pastors telling lies about our Rock,
Saying God is going broke so they can fleece the flock.
We’ve kept God in our temples, how foolish we have grown,
When all the earth is but His footstool, and Heaven is His throne.
We’ve voted in governments that are rotting to the core,
Appointing Godless judges who throw reason out the door.
Too soft to put a killer in a well deserved tomb,
But brave enough to kill that child before he leaves the womb.
You think that God’s not angry, that our land’s a moral slum?
How much longer will it be before His judgment comes?
And how can we face our God, from Whom we cannot hide?
What is left for us to do, but stem this evil tide!
For if we who are His children, will humbly turn and pray,
If we seek His holy face, and mend our evil way,
Then God will hear from Heaven and forgive us of our sins.
He’ll heal our sickly land and those who live within.
But, America the beautiful, if you don’t then you will see,
A sad but Holy God withdraw His hand from Thee. |

On one side, anyway. Your posts suggest you haven't been listening to Doug Jones directly.

Roy Moore’s Wife Says Some of the Couple’s Friends Are Black or Jewish
Quote: |
And she told the crowd that the Moores had nothing against Jews.
“I just want to set the record straight,” she said. “One of our attorneys is a Jew. We have very close friends that are Jewish and rabbis, and we also fellowship with them.” |

With 70% counted, Moore leads by about 5% |

Jones up 11,000 votes with 89% in. Looks like the nation is spared a child molester in the senate.

I don't expect he will.
I am stunned. I feel just a little bit better about the world now than I did when I woke up.

Jones has tweeted "Thank you Alabama"
Margin of victory will be less than the number of write in votes. So being a child molester still matters.

I think we can thank Richard Shelby for having the integrity to stand up and say he couldn't and wouldn't vote for Moore and people should write in some other quality Republican.
