All lucid points. Too bad the same sound reasoning wasn't made in the 2016 POTUS election.

However bad Trump may be, Moore is still not an apt comparison. He's on a whole different plane.

BTW, even Nigel Farage was in town campaigning for Moore. What more need be said?
All that said, Moore is expected to win today.
The irony of Bannon's whole "if you really believe in Trump and want to support him you'll ignore Trump's endorsement of Strange and vote for Moore" nonsense is that Moore has said he'd vote against Graham-Cassidy because it doesn't do enough to repeal Obamacare.

This is the same asshole who referred to Native Americans and Asian-Americans as "reds and yellows", right? Or was that a different asshole in Alabama?

Oh yeah, just last week, but it was even better than that. Per The Hill:
"Moore, a former chief justice on the state Supreme Court, lamented divisions between Americans based on race, mentioning “reds and yellows."
“We were torn apart in the Civil War — brother against brother, North against South, party against party. What changed?” Moore asked in footage provided to The Hill by a Republican monitoring the race.
“Now we have blacks and whites fighting, reds and yellows fighting, Democrats and Republicans fighting, men and women fighting. What’s going to unite us? What’s going to bring us back together? A president? A Congress? No. It’s going to be God." Moore's campaign told The Hill the remarks were taken out of context.
"'Red, yellow, black and white they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world,'" the campaign said in a statement, in an apparent reference to the religious song "Jesus Loves the Little Children."
"This is the gospel. If we take it seriously, America can once again be united as one nation under God."

Yeah, El Douche deleted all his pro-Strange tweets.
Btw, did you guys know that PR is an island? Surrounded by water? You can't drive a truck to it?
FUCKING MORON.

Here's a classic:
"Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler, one of Republican Roy Moore’s biggest supporters, has dismissed the Washington Post’s bombshell report about accusations that Moore made sexual advances toward teenage girls.
Brian Lyman, a reporter for the Montgomery Advertiser, conducted an interview with Zeigler on Thursday afternoon in which he said he wasn’t troubled by the multiple accusations of sexual misconduct made against Moore.
In fact, Zeigler said that he wouldn’t be disturbed by the Alabama Republican Senate candidate’s actions even if the Washington Post story were 100 percent accurate.
“Even if you accept the Washington Post’s report as being completely true, it’s much ado about very little,” he told Lyman."

More Zeigler:
"Take Joseph and Mary. Mary was a teenager and Joseph was an adult carpenter. They became parents of Jesus.”
“There’s just nothing immoral or illegal here. Maybe just a little bit unusual.”
Yuck.

This is what 44 seconds of GOP senators not responding to questions about Roy Moore sounds like
Quote: |
There's so much here. My thoughts -- in order.
1. The shouted question: "Do you believe these women who have made allegations against Roy Moore?"
2. Senate Majority Leader McConnell sitting stone-faced. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon."
3. Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson makes a brief appearance, staring into nothing, before he is cropped out of the shot entirely.
4. Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley smiling.
5. Utah's Hatch with an "I can't believe this is happening/"Is this actually happening?" look.
6. A staffer shouting "thank you" in a failed attempt to end the questioning.
7. McConnell stretching out his back and sitting up all while keeping the not-smiling-but-not-frowning he has absolutely mastered. And undoubtedly thinking: "Please let this end. And soon...." |

the repug party has now become the POP = Party of Pedophiles. they are all disgusting & the worst part is Moore is highly likely to get re-elected. but then McConnell will have to put to a vote weather to have him seated or not. and there won't be any opp to use the cop-out, 'if its true.........'
repugs are cowards. period. end. of. story.

The last two Republican nominees for president before Trump have both made unambiguous statements denouncing Moore and calling for him to pull out of the race. I have had many differences with John McCain and Mitt Romney but at least they have some sense of morality and decency. It is truly sad to see so many Republicans put the potential of a tax cut for the wealthy ahead of normalizing child sexual abuse.
I was a Republican back when Clinton was president and it saddened me to see the presidency debased the way it was at that time. Even though I never thought Clinton's indiscretions rose to impeachable offenses, I saw Republicans show a moral compass. Now there is none. The "moral majority" is neither moral nor a majority. Republicans need to figure out what they really stand for. Are they a tear-down-the-walls, populist party that wants to do away with any civil rights protection and become a corporate-police state? Do they want a fundamentalist Christian doctrine? Do they want free trade capitalism? Do they want to maintain a safety net for the aged, poor and disabled or access to education for all, and if so to what degree?
It used to be that Democrats and Republicans both had the same general goals for the country but had different ideas on how to achieve them. Linden LaRouche was a Democrat that was disavowed by the Democrats. David Duke was a Republican that was disavowed by the Republicans. Both parties should ideally be big tents, but they both need to have gatekeepers. And Roy Moore should definitely be kept outside the gate.

Moore denied knowing where the restaurant was and who the woman was. But she brought an old yearbook of hers that he signed. I heard someone say tonight that even if he were to be elected the Senate would expel him.
But this whole change in how the charges of women are viewed has people talking about a reckoning for Bill Clinton, including Chris Hayes on MSNBC and Caitlyn Flanagan for The Atlantic.
Saw something yesterday that a woman who was 16 in 2003 says that when she posed for a picture with her mother and George H.W. Bush, he groped her.

There's no doubt that Moore dated teenagers back in the day. His wife was a teenager when they started dating. He was pushing 40 at the time.
