Marine Colonel Announces He’s Running Against Roy Moore: ‘Hold My Beer’
James LaPorta11.27.17 12:59 PM ET

When retired Marine Col. Lee Busby read it was too late for a write-in candidate for the Alabama senate race, he said, “Hold my beer, we will just see about that.” 

Busby told The Daily Beast on Monday he is launching his long-shot bid to stop Republican nominee Roy Moore from reaching the Senate.

“I have no idea if the allegations against him true or not, but I don’t see anything within his experience as a judge that qualifies him for the job.”

Meanwhile in Dothan...

At least Busby has something that Moore doesn't have.. Character.

You are wrong about that...The Judge is a character.

and what qualifies the Col any more then Moore?

At this point, what difference does it make?

At this point, what difference does it make?

The obvious Hillary quote comes to mind, but The Smiths seemed to fit as well....

What Difference Does It Make


All men have secrets and here is mine so let it be known
For we have been through hell and high tide
I think I can rely on you
And yet you start to recoil
Heavy words are so lightly thrown
But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you

So what difference does it make?
So what difference does it make?
It makes none, but now you have gone
And you must be looking very old tonight

The devil will find work for idle hands to do
I stole and I lied, and why? because you asked me to
But now you make me feel so ashamed
Because I've only got two hands
Well, I'm still fond of you

Seems like a pretty real guy.  Not some phony like Moore.

Two drinks and every man's a hero.

@driftdiver

Well, the obvious answer is that the Colonel isn’t a child sex abuser.  Definitely a plus.

And you have proof of that how?

And you have proof that Roy Moore is, how?

You haven’t been paying attention.

@CatherineofAragon

Got plenty of attention. Ain't got Proof.

If Moore's guilty of a chargeable crime, and the proof exists to indict him, then drag him in.

Otherwise, quit feeding the Dems fantasies.

Good question.

Moore's a judge: his JOB is to know the law, day in, day out.

Congress MAKES Laws, day in, day out.

How much of the Cols' time has been spent with his dance card brim filled up with a similar amount of The Law?

@To-Whose-Benefit?

Look, you’ve put on your blinders and I’m not going to argue with you because at this point Moore could admit to the charges and some would still want him in office.   It’s going to be really interesting when he sponsors Bring Your Daughter To Work Day in the Senate, lol.

Probably less than Moore’s dance card brim, whatever that is, was filled with hanging in mall corners.

Your not going to argue with me BECAUSE you haven't provided/can't provide any of the PROOF I asked for, but I'M the one with Blinders ON?

[Jazzhead]

Moore's not a judge, he's a mockery of one.  He was removed from office twice by the State of Alabama for violating his oath of office.   I can only hope the citizens of Alabama are patriotic enough to refuse to give him a third chance to violate his oath.

Why don’t you calm down and stop yelling.

There is no presumption of innocence attached to a candidate's run for political office.  The voters are being asked to exercise their common sense, not render a legal verdict.  Do you believe Roy Moore or his accusers?   Trust your gut, trust your instincts.    There will be no "proof" of the sort you demand prior to the election.  Nevertheless,  it is up to the people of Alabama to enable or deny the political ambitions of a lawless hypocrite.

At least you're in good and well respected company here, with Jazzy taking your side.

[Frank Cannon]

I hear from anonymous unnamed sources that this Colonel is into middle aged goats. He may be a better fit for the voters of Alabama.

[Silver Pines]

@To-Whose-Benefit?

Says the guy defending a sexual deviant.

You don’t understand, I don’t post according to who’s “on my side” or to win a popularity contest.   If it’s right, it doesn’t matter who recognizes it as such.

That’s something conservatives have lost sight of in the rush to embrace stupid tribalism.

@Jazzhead, I agree with everything you said here, up to "lawless hypocrite".  My gut tells me that's not true.
