I'm gonna try pictures.   I can't get through with words.

And I could keep going. 

The reason these people aren't seen as "nuts"  is because the Media attack machine doesn't focus on them unless it is forced to do so.

True. But it is useless to fight evil with crazy.
"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

I'm just curious why the recount hasn't begun.

Why would there be a recount?  Moore's
Jones' margin of victory is three times the legal threshold for a recount.


Correction.

Even Trump is telling Moore to give it up.

It simply isn't in Moore's nature to concede.  His self-anointed outlook should have tipped Republican voters off from the very beginning that he was not suited to be a candidate.  He is not teachable.

Hopefully, Republican primary voters will learn from their mistake instead of playing the victim card like Hillary sycophants.

I was a Moore supporter, but when you've lost, you've lost.

That is a very fair question. The reasons why we get the candidates we do flow directly from our diseased cultural institutions.

Yes,  he's quite unique in having a "self anointed" outlook in politics.   I've actually never heard of such a thing until he came on the scene.

Foolish primary voters.  Why on earth would they pick a man that would be up 28 points in the polls before accusations were made about him and his party allies stabbed him in the back?

They must be stupid,  because they obviously didn't see that stuff coming. 

Why it was plain as day that the reporter would find two white trash kook bats to make shaky accusations against the man from 38 years ago!

And everybody knows that Republican party office holders simply cannot wait to embrace kooky accusations and quickly slip knives in a candidates back! 

Yeah,  it was plain as day that was going to happen.

What does he have to lose by not conceding? His reputation's already shot and it's not like he's going to run again.


He might run for President as a Constipation Party Candidate.   In fact he more of a candidate for that party than the GOP.

So you admit Moore was victorious?

So why hasn't Jones conceded as yet?

It's quite apparent that your output doesn't require much in the way of effort.  Do not judge the rest of us by your half bushel.

 @DiogenesLamp, a gasbag who thinks his every utterance is the Gettysburg address is always good for a laugh, but in a sad way.  You’re one of those gasbags.

It’s painfully clear you impress yourself enormously, but that quality goes hand-in-hand with a lack of self-awareness.  Nobody else is in awe of you.

You’re not putting out “work”, you’re blathering on a forum, like the rest of us.  Get over yourself.

And for the sake of this forum’s credibility, can you not use the N word in your posts?  I know that’s fine at TOS, but we do better.

Thanks to the write-in votes.

There were more R votes that stayed home and said 'no thanks' than ones that cast protest ballots.  Moore just wasn't actually the draw the primary would have everyone believe.

My bad.  Should have typed 'Jones' instead of 'Moore'.  Post has been corrected.

Back in the beginning of this millenium Moore defied a Federal court order. I think the court order was stupid. It was an overreaching interpretation of  the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. Nonetheless, it was a valid court order. He defied a valid court order and he was the Chief Justice.

He's a kook.
You're entitle to your opinions, but at least get your facts straight.  Moore, as the Chief Justice of the Alabama State Supreme Court had the responsibility and oath to the constitution of Alabama and the United States.  If that Federal District Judge had any notion of the US constitution, he would know as Moore rightly pointed out at the time, that Federal district courts have no jurisdiction over state constitutions.  The US Constitution gives only the Supreme Court "original" jurisdiction over state vs federal constitutional issues.

If Moore was so bad, why did he win the primaries?

If my existence amuses you,  it pleases me to provide you with some distraction from what must be less amusing aspects of your life.   



It’s painfully clear you impress yourself enormously, but that quality goes hand-in-hand with a lack of self-awareness.  Nobody else is in awe of you.


If I worried about what people thought,   I would probably be trying to fit in instead of being myself.   I think I'm a bit autistic that way.    Something a wise man taught me a long time ago is that "God is no respecter of Persons."    Why should I try to be different in that regard?   

If you think someone is vying for "awe-dom",   then perhaps you are seeing something in yourself,  rather than in me.   



You’re not putting out “work”, you’re blathering on a forum, like the rest of us.  Get over yourself.


I do concede that you are blathering on a forum,   but I would not say this is true of others or myself.   I occasionally blather,   but most often I try to reason and have a meeting of the minds with other people who might have insight or information that will help me comprehend what to do to optimize my future and that of those about whom I care. 





And for the sake of this forum’s credibility, can you not use the N word in your posts?  I know that’s fine at TOS, but we do better.


Did that get a wince out of you?   I hoped it would.    The fact that the Washington Post snake wrote that story indicates just what a piece of sh*t you have been gleefully following,  and who's work you have been spreading as far and wide as you are able.   


Yes,  the story about Rick Perry which was deliberately calculated to damage him as much as possible,   came from that nasty witch.    You don't like her choice of verbiage,   yet it is all part and parcel of the wickedness  you embraced when you volunteered to help her deliver up her little balls of sh*t. 


I think you got some on you.
