Latest Alabama poll shows Moore leading Jones 49-44

[Free Vulcan]

This is starting to feel like a football game where one team scores a late touchdown to take the lead, but not late enough: There's still 1:30 or two minutes left on the clock and you've left the other team with too much time to drive back down the field and regain the upper hand.

Did the Roy Moore allegations simply break too early? The election isn't until December 12 - fully two weeks away - and it may be that voters who were already inclined to back Moore have either decided they don't believe the allegations, that they're too old to matter now or that none of it justifies sending a tax-raising, ObamaCare-defending, abortion-funding Democrat to the Senate given how hard it is even now to pass good legislation.

Sorry but I'm on Moore's side on this one. If a scumbag like Franken can be Senator, then why not Moore?

[roamer_1]

9 point swing since the weekend. Moore went from -3 to a fairly substantiated +5/6.

Alabama just hit 'Oh, hell no!' mode. I think they won't be listening to anything the politico-media conglomerate has to say anymore.

Seeya Jones. Nothing but tail lights here on out...

No. If Moore is guilty as accused, he deserves nothing. Were real proof to surface, my endorsement of the man would evaporate.

I stand with him because of his honor and character, and what those things predict wrt his behavior in office. If those things are found IN FACT to be false, The I have no use for the man.

The lesser evil argument is always false. So is the tribalism charge. If he isn't a man of sound character, then all we are doing is adding to the problem.

The GOP...our scumbags are justified by their scumbags.

Yeah!  Those dumb assed Alabama hicks ain't got a lick of sense do they?

Flat out refusing to let the Washington elites pick their representative for them and all!  How the hell did THAT happen?

Morons in CA do the same thing. They pick the wackiest slimiest POS they can find to represent them.  Moore represents the people of Alabama well.

When you are forced into a position of choosing between a frying pan and a fire,   you chose the pan.

It's a shame Mississippians fell for the ole DC two step.   


They should have voted for the Democrat in Mississippi once McConnell and company ran those racist attack ads against McDaniel.   


I always knew if they didn't get their hand bitten for that bit of treason,  they were going to try more of it down the road.

No, you jump out of the pan and keep running.

Indeed! But i seriously doubt they will make thst mistake again anytime soon.  At  least i hope they won't!

[Frank Cannon]

New poll out of Alabama......

[Bigun]

Indeed he will!  I can't wait for him to start doing exactly that in the U.S. Senate!

[DiogenesLamp]

No, you jump out of the pan and keep running.

Analogy breaks down right there.    When you are faced with a choice between two people,   you don't get a third choice.   You get one of the two.   


There is no "let this cup pass before me"  choice.

I know.  @corbe accuses me of being binary but our choices are often between two people or two things.

A few people here, for example, brag about not voting for Trump and won't admit they were contributing to the possible election of Hillary.

We only had two choices.

[Frank Cannon]

I know.  @corbe accuses me of being binary .....

You should read closer. He is accusing you of being bi. It doesn't mean what you think.

[roamer_1]

We only had two choices.

Nonsense. A binary choice inherently has three choices: 1, 0, and null.

To contribute veritas to either of the final candidates was unthinkable.

Three choices in a binary choice? Once again I will mention that bi doesn't mean what you think it means.

A wise man once said there's no such thing as "bi".

OK... Let me put it in terms you'd understand, Frank: boy, girl, alone

SEE?

“None of the above” makes you feel good about yourself but does nothing to achieve a viable or just outcome. Pull that lever, and you’ve just marginalized yourself within the process; you’ve in essence, raised the white flag on participating in your own future.

That’s nothing to be proud of.

Bingo!

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

When you refuse to chose between 2 candidates/governing philosophies, the world around you, the world directly touching you, will not not stand aside for you until the Choice comes round back to you the next time.

The world will not go into a state of suspended animation because of your inability to condescend to choosing between unacceptable and not good enough.

It will go on and it can very possibly get a lot Worse because of such erroneous High Mindedness.
