GOP nightmare as Alabama's Roy Moore signals he might run again

[Mesaclone]

Thank God I was spared serving under officers like you!  Anyone willing to convict a man based on mere allegations of conduct that allegedly happened forty years in the past is unworthy of having command of anyone IMHO!

First, I haven't "convicted" him of anything. Of course, the inverse is also true in that the charges made by the 15 year old are not worthy of being disregarded either. But that's not really my point. My point is, because of those charges and his admitted willingness to date teenagers whilst in his 30's...he is guaranteed to lose another Senate seat that conservatives can ill afford to lose. What kind of stupidity would consider that a good nomination when the alternative is to run a DIFFERENT solid conservative who will win rather easily.

[Bigun]

Yes! Over and over again until we get it right!

[Mesaclone]

He was entirely correct!

Huh. I missed the part where Breitbart said we should nominate men who, whilst in their 30's, actively worked to date girls in their teens...and the part where he stated we should nominate people who are proven losers and who are nearly certain to lose again.

Must have been right after or before the quote you cited...right?

[XenaLee]

Yes! Over and over again until we get it right!

So, IOW.... ad infinitum & eternally, then? 

First of all, he probably is NOT going to run again, so all this BS is just moot.  Sheesh.

It is not up to me, or you or the asshats in Washington to determine what Roy Moore does and I pray God that never changes in this once great country!

Which has nothing to do with the subject at hand IMHO.

I can't do anything about the fact that you seem to lack the ability to read and properly interpret the English language!

Mo Brooks and indeed a number of other GOP congress-people are co-sponsors of the El Chapo build the wall bill with Ted Cruz.

It may be the "House version" versus the "Senate bill" but it's the same thing it looks like.

So, this is in response to who else could run. Mo Brooks sounds ideal, he also stood by Roy Moore. The thing is, if there is anything about Moore, it needs to be brought out in the primaries, not when Democrats can exploit the situation.

Sez who?

Roy Moore has been wrongfully accused.  I think it would be absolutely wonderful if he ran again and this time WON!  He would be winning AGAINST the GOPe and the liberal trash and most importantly he would be winning for the people of AL.

If four out of people suffer from diarrhea does that mean that one enjoys it?

These actions state otherwise......

Moore, 72, a former state judge, made the rounds at last Friday’s Alabama Republican Party dinner gala. A few days later, a new political action committee run by Moore’s son, Caleb Moore, issued an email fundraising appeal.

Now, if his fundraising efforts are a bust, that will likely change things.

[Emjay]

It's still the right of everyone on this board to discuss any issue he or she wants to without derision.

(Of course you know that, and you are free to say that you think any argument is a "loser."  I don't think it is because who we are as conservatives is tied up in who we believe is a worthwhile representative of our values, and clearly there are good Briefers on both sides of that debate).

@musiclady   I don't know what reality you're living in, but I am living in one where I am horrified every day by what is going on with the democrats.  They've been a disaster for America for a long, long time and now they've almost become a caricature of themselves, but not one to be taken lightly.

They managed to take the House by a small margin and have proposed one crazy thing after another.  The worst part is that they have the media totally on their side and that is a dangerous thing for us.

And then I come to this 'conservative' forum where at least ten active members don't seem to worry about that at all, but choose instead to nitpick our President, a man who has done no wrong and done a lot of good.

So, musiclady, it makes me cranky and I try to stay away and not inflict that crankiness on sensitive people like you but sometimes I come back to see if anything has changed.

[Mesaclone]

Yes! Over and over again until we get it right!

by "get it right" you mean, of course, agree with your view.

Especially what type of bust we are talking about.

Yes and coincidentally, it’s also the dentist that does not recommend Trident.

@libertybele

And how would you feel about him running again and losing...surrendering what should be a "gimme" conservative seat to a liberal...perhaps even shifting the Senate to the Dems...in perpetuity. Because that is FAR more likely to be the outcome of what you think would be absolutely wonderful.

[musiclady]

   

Briefers do NOT need to go through anyone for permission to post.  The Mods have set up rules and guidelines that we need to adhere to.  We don't need some one in here who thinks that they are 'queen bee' of the forum continually casting stones.  It gets old and annoying.  I won't say anything more as I don't want a time out.   

 

No time outs for EITHER of us, my friend! 

[Bigun]

by "get it right" you mean, of course, agree with your view.

If by agree with me you mean stop allowing the Democrats to win by dragging $100 bills through trailer parks to find women sleazy enough to sign on to lies about Republican candidates who legitimately win primaries then the answer is a resounding YES!

[edpc]

The last woman accused of grabbing that $100 bill dragged through the trailer park ended up turning it into $850K.

[bigheadfred]

I bet his proctologist made him say that.

[Mesaclone]

Perhaps if we didn't run candidates who frequented trailer parks in pursuit of teenage girls...a $100 bill wouldn't turn up much.

But by "agree with you", I refer to your demand for running a candidate who's blemishes...even if you think them unjust...guarantee defeat. The definition of striving for failure.

I ask again, why would any Republican with a brain...who wants to actually win back that seat...not want to run ANY other conservative for that office NOT named Moore?

The party probably won't want to take that chance again (my bet), so....

And I ask you again, by what right do you presume to tell Roy Moore he cannot run for any office he so chooses?  I think the voters in the state of Alabama are perfectly capable of sorting it out without the aid of others.

That right would be known as "free speech". In this case, that "right" would be endorsed by common sense, reason, and the experience of watching him lose that seat.

As for what he CAN do...he can dance the River Dance in a tutu and chase teenagers around whatever trailer park he wishes, all while running for the Senatorial nomination. Have at it Roy. What I CAN do, and have done...and will continue to do...is make the very easy argument that anyone supporting him in that endeavor is the kind of clueless fool who is more than willing to hand a conservative Senate seat to the Democrats.

As for the voters of Alabama, I'm sure they are wise enough to listen to input from whomever they choose...and as they've already rejected this guy once, I'd say they know what they're doing.
