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

[edpc]

Let's all hope so. The last thing anyone needs is a whole year or more of this all over again.

Well, selfishly speaking, I hope he runs. If anything, it’ll be nice to hear from Sassy’s Twitter account again.

PLEASE, IF HE WINS HE WILL RIDE ME INTO WASHINGTON AND I AM SCARED OF CARS.

What I do care about are the liberal smear tactics that have gone on for far too long.  So, what you in essence are stating is that we need to vote for people who we think can win over a liberal,  even though they have voted along liberal lines in the past just to fill a GOP(e) seat, rather then vote for someone whom we know is conservative and has at least an ounce of integrity left. Got it.  No thank you.  As long as people continue to vote that way, the GOP will continue to be in the same sinking boat that they're in.

Well, you got the first part right about voting in people who can win. You just made up the 2nd part, as the truth is that I, and most of us here, want hardcore GOP partisans who push forward the President's VERY conservative agenda.

What sinks the GOP is nominating crusty/pervy old farts, inarticulate preacher types, and inexperienced dimwits like Christine O'Donnell...when we put forward solid, not crazy, conservatives we win. Its really that simple.

Oh, in answer to your question—I’m a socialist.  Considerably to the left of Ralph Northam, my state’s governor,  not quite as far as Ocasio-Cortez.

Piker. I'm with you up to the socio part but then my path is my own.

Here's my problem with the Roy Moore thing.  He may or may not be what he is purported to be.  I don't know.  I suspect that from the last 40 years of his life, he's either moved on from prior proclivities or he never had them.  But, that's not my issue.

Conservatives, the Constitution, Godly Christians and Jews, and America as a whole are under attack.  One of the several things that has had us paralyzed and unable to fight back is that we are being attacked from every angle. School choice, spending that involuntarily commits future generations to servitude, increasing and unceasing attacks on the Constitutional foundation of our nation, abortion trending to infanticide, ascendant islam, open Communists in elected positions, environmentalism as a weapon, election corruption and outright stealing, venal and debased federal law enforcement, illegal alien invasion, entrenched and anti-American bureaucrats, an education system that produces mindless drones who vote democrat, and ever-expanding governmental control and intrusion.  And, that’s just off the top of my head.

It’s like drinking from a firehose – you don’t have time to even think much less form a defensive plan or a counter attack.  Probably deliberate and certainly effective.  Regardless, when you find yourself under a firehose or any similar attack, you have to do something to remediate the situation or it quickly progresses to much worse.  You have to decide what is absolutely important and what can be handled later after you are no longer under the powerful stream of water.   You have to make some smart choices.  You can think about that little boy who got cheated out of his cookie last week, and put your foot down and decide that must be corrected and now.  Or, you can do something that keeps us from having the skin flayed off and then drowning.

Conservatives seem to unerringly go for the cookie corruption, time after time.  We never learn.  When there are 400 principled issues that need to be addressed, you simply can’t address each and every one of them.  Pick the top 5 and work from there.  We might actually see some success that way.

I would tell Roy Moore, sorry you got probably screwed, but you’re alive, well and living in what’s left of the greatest nation on earth, and besides, this isn't about you.  Don’t do this, Mr. Moore, because you will help to speed our destruction, along with those who support your running again.

I understand what you are saying.  We as conservatives cannot allow the left to continue with their smear campaigns, corruption, voter fraud, etc.  Heck Pelosi has even given 'training' in how to smear; basically it is to continue to tell an untruth about someone that is derragatory until it becomes believed to be truth when there isn't an ounce of evidence that there was any wrong doing.  The left is not above hiring someone to lie as a witness or to come up with fake evidence the eventually becomes known as fake.  Unfortunately by that time, the person's reputation is ruined. 

Do we tell those who have been wrongfully accused ... too bad ... your life is ruined, but sit back and be quiet so that someone else has a chance.  Do you honestly feel, that the left won't go after them as well??

[roamer_1]

I know, @roamer_1

It is why I keep my robot thread going. Maybe someone will glean a bit of info on just how much they are being manipulated.

I do care, too.

People don't like my solution(s) and it is best I don't post them.

[Hoodat]

Though, I don't condemn Moore without more info on the two times, he was removed from the Alabama SC and one of those times, I think had to do with those "Ten Commandments" and not gay marriage, when you start having Judges making the law, what's next?

In that particular case, the only judge 'making the law' was the one who ordered it removed.  There is nothing unconstitutional about a State displaying the ten commandments.

Well you're damned sure not a Conservative.   That much is certain.  I am proud to be a Conservative... so I don't get the reluctance to own it.  I think you're GOPe, personally, which would explain your anti-Trump and anti-Conservative sentiments.  But whatever.  If you're ashamed to admit what you are.... not my problem.  Have a great evening.

I just wanna know why everyone gives so much of a shit what one poster thinks on this topic.  @QueenCatofAragon is opposed to Moore...unless y’all are married to him, why the hell do you let that get your knickers in a twist?

I can appreciate your position @Sanguine
But none of it stops, *none*, until there are more actual principled, God-fearing Conservatives in government than mere Republicans. You have no argument at all until then.

If we allow them to be slain in the courts of slanderous public opinion, it is only a matter of time until they are all gone, simply by attrition.

When you get on Hwy 290 in Austin and go west, you will end up in Johnson City.  You can say you going to Chicago, but you will end up in Johnson City nonetheless. When you chose to focus on the smaller stuff no matter how often you say you are trying to save conservatism, you will lose.  It really is that simple. 

And, I don't care if the left goes after them; it's irrelevant if we lose the whole thing.

One can read up on it here, the ethics panel removed Moore. I don't care to get into this too much.

Mods—I’m not gonna delete  this post because it’s the damn truth and I’d post it again.  If you need it gone, feel free.

You're on your way to Johnson City.  We keep frittering every chance we get, that's where we end up.

You're seriously going to worry about someone's reputation while the whole damn thing is burning down around us?  Really?

Thanks, @Axeslinger.  The pr*ck of conscience, probably.

[TomSea]

Have you all noticed, we are getting new members here?  Set a good impression. Truly we are getting new members and we should set a good example for them. We need to up our game. @Sanguine had a very good thought out post. We can't be Wm. Buckley genus writers all the time but we can do better.

This thread is headed towards a deserved shutdown I think, at least, temporarily.

Have fun in Chicago, where there ain't a dimes worth of difference between the parties.

A lot of it is a fundamental difference in our understanding of the facts, and who we believe or don't believe.

???? It's one thing to call one of our politicians or a media personality, etc., <Insult removed>, but quite another to say it about a fellow Briefer.  Seriously???

Okay..locking this thread for awhile....I am so glad Roy Moore is back in the news

 

[bigheadfred]

I'm with you up to the socio part but then my path is my own.

Speaking for myselves, none of us care that no one laughed at my sociopath joke.

So I am going to try something else.

I love you with all my butt. I would have said heart. My butt is bigger.

I went out on a bug hunt the other day and discovered myself.

I can't tell whether my new car's suspension is amazing, or if I'm a sociopath
Either way when I ran over that democrat I didn't feel a thing.
