Oh, FFS.....

Unless they were registered AL voters, nobody here that was critical of Moore had a damn thing to do with the outcome.

Your opinion is noted!  I happen to disagree.

You live for it.


How long would you keep this up?  If I kept posting, would you keep posting till the end of time.

I live for the people I love and the things I love.

You are not one of them.   Let's see if you can let this drop now.  I'm betting you can't.

There would be no sliming of Kavanaugh if there wasn't first a sliming of Moore. When will we learn.


Oh please.  Enough with the martyrization of Moore.  This goes way, way back beyond that point.  Anyone remember John Tower in 1989?  You can find plenty of examples before that, as well.

If the left derails Kavanaugh.... just like they derailed Moore....

are you going to be saying "Enough with the martyrization of Kavanaugh" a few months from now?

It's not martyrization.  It's knowing and stating the difference between right and wrong.

The Republicans didn't show up to vote for Moore, the people of Alabama didn't show up to vote for Moore.

Yes, blame low-voter turnout by the Rs on Briefers, that really makes sense.

I've wondered that myself.

@CatherineofAragon

Please be kind enough to point out the difference, other than the names involved, to those of us who, according to you, have no sense of discernment.
Oh,that's easy. Kavanaugh's accuser doesn't have a forged yearbook signature--from his assistant.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

It sounds like Moore was like Arpaio in Arizona, really lacking in statewide popularity.

Funny, I don't recall Kavanaugh being accused of going to malls to pick up girls half his age.

Funny you sound just like the lady that started that rumor (put her husband up to it)...

Some people will never allow the fact that what happens here is a microcosm of what is going on all over the place!

You read far more into my message than I intended to say.

Concerning what I think is your point - yes I remember all the previous examples.

Do the Moore supporters blame Sen. Cruz for Doug Jones in the Senate because Cruz withdrew his endorsement? That must be a million times more powerful than something we do here.

@edpc

No, that's not how we do it now.  Conservatives don't think anymore.  We kneejerk.  If there's an R behind the name, he's automatically innocent and any evidence to the contrary is a fake conspiracy.

Therefore, one accusation is exactly like the last.  See?  No need to think at all.

IF I lived in Alabama, I think I would have still gone to the polls and voted for Moore.... but it might have been one of those situations where you aren't happy about it. We can still voice our opinions, our displeasures, this isn't North Korea.  People in Alabama should not give a hoot about what DC says or any of us not in the state even.

Well, If you want to get technical it was actually Robert Bork and it did work.  :laugh:

You could say Gary Hart was the first, but I never heard who it was behind his hatchet job.

Gary Hart was in?? What the primaries against Democrats so that's probably who did it.

Just like the Kenyan saga with Barack really begins with the Hillary campaign.
