What complete idiocy, we will lose again.
This forum and post is why conservatives are some of the dumbest people on the face of the planet.
We, who?
You from Alabama?
Before you have an apoplexy, what those of us here who saw the absolute avalanche of allegations thrown at Moore last time (and who realized then it was strictly dirty tricks) would like to see is for the man to have a shot in the Primary, to run on his merits without all the unprecedented, astroturf social media and MSM smear campaigns, and maybe with just a little support from his own party for a change.
Now there are a lot of people handwringing about how control of the US Senate will be lost, all over him being a candidate in a
primary election. That case of the vapors seems a bit premature, to me.
The reason Conservatives lose is that Republicans are all too willing to jump willy-nilly on some bandwagon and denigrate their own, often without even realizing they are hauling the communists' water for them.
Now, maybe it is just my inherent sense of fairness, maybe because it's because I hate thieves, maybe it's because I really hate those who bear false witness to besmirch the reputation of someone who, imho, is undeserving of that treatment. Maybe it's because I hate the smug bullies who do their damndest to make good people outcasts and the mob mentality that enables that. There always seems to be some loudmouthed jackass ready with the rope to start the lynch mob in motion, but there are damned few in this day and age who would stand before the mob and say 'whoa'.
As corny as it sounds to some, I really believe in the whole Truth, Justice, and the American Way thing, but the last part is what distresses me. The entire pep-rally mentality that surrounds politics is stunning to me. People who stick with losing sports teams for decades, who have the (officially licensed, expensive) memorabilia, the jerseys in glass cases, etc. decide one election lost (no matter the circumstances) and a political candidate is tossed to the wolves. You folks pretty much did that to Dr. Alan Keyes after he provided an 11th hour alternative to voting for Obama in an outrageously messed up election in Illinois.
2004 Primary Election
Despite initially trailing in the polls to frontrunner Blair Hull,[1] Barack Obama greatly benefited from what the Chicago Tribune called "the most inglorious campaign implosion in Illinois political history"[2] when pressure from journalists and opposing candidates, just weeks before the election, forced the unsealing of Hull's messy divorce files.[3] The files revealed Hull's ex-wife's accusations of verbal and physical abuse.[4] Hull would afterwards criticize the media, stating, "As for the press, I will never read the newspaper the same way again."[2] Obama would go on to win the Primary with 53% of the vote.[3] Obama's unexpected victory led to him being termed a "rising star" by the media.[5]
2004 General Election
Jack Ryan
Once again Obama found himself trailing to popular frontrunner Jack Ryan, and once again a candidate's campaign imploded thanks to media intervention. In an unprecedented move, the Chicago Tribune and local TV station WLS sued to force the unsealing of Ryan's divorce files, despite opposition from both Ryan and his wife, Jeri Ryan, who in the files accused Jack Ryan of trying to coerce her to perform sex acts in public. Though Ryan advisors told him he could still win if using a negative attack on Obama, Ryan refused:
“ "It's clear to me that a vigorous debate on the issues most likely could not take place if I remain in the race. What would take place, rather, is a brutal, scorched-earth campaign — the kind of campaign that has turned off so many voters, the kind of politics I refuse to play... I won't do that, that's not me."
-Jack Ryan[6]
â€Ryan then dropped out of the race (per request by the Illinois GOP[7]),
https://www.conservapedia.com/United_States_Senate_election_in_Illinois,_2004The Illinois GOP had no one to run against Obama. Alan Keyes stepped in to provide some opposition, but the win went to the other guy, and Keyes seemed to be marginalized and blamed for the loss.
After all, that is easier than finding out just how all those sealed court records became front page news, just like the torrents of leaks to follow in Obama's wake to damage Republicans, conservatives, and anyone who looked like they might be in the way, often sourced (if sourced and not just made up) from "sealed court records".
You folks haven't figured out who the enemy is or who it isn't, not to mention which questions to ask.
As for Moore, here's a man who lost his job twice, once for standing for the Ten Commandments (the basis of most western law at its root), and once for standing for the Alabama Constitution, and you hold that level of integrity against him because he lost his job standing for what he thought is right.
It's pretty obvious that such a man in the Swamp would be a real threat to the
status quo in DC.
In the meantime this place is rife with people making up excuses why someone who has a long list of unfulfilled promises laying around like solo cups after a frat party is all awesome and all that.
Y'all don't seem to be so interested in draining the Swamp as redecorating in your particular shade of green.
Let Alabamans decide.
