Roy Moore says he will run for Senate in Alabama

[Smokin Joe]

What would Trump Jr. possibly know about conservatism?

Almost as much as McConnell, who opposed Moore last time, even before the smear campaign and the Russian social media campaign against him.

It's up to the voters of Alabama, whether they want the GOPe and Washington DC to pick their representation in Congress, or whether they want to pick their own people to represent them.

[Smokin Joe]

And that is exactly what pisses me off!

All I can say is that the Top down attitude of the GOP is as tedious as the attitude of the Communist Party.

Totalitarians suck, whatever critter they claim as a symbol.

[Smokin Joe]

Let Alabamans decide! I fully expect a re hash of old smears, and the alphabet rainbow bunch out in force in opposition. The Swamp critters on both sides of the aisle will object strenuously.

If you want to drain the swamp. If you want things in DC to change for the better, You are going to have to elect people who don't have the NRSC seal of approval tattooed on their hind parts, who aren't swamp critters in training.

IF we didn't learn this from the TEA party class of freshmen Congresscritters, the most GOP approved of whom immediately forgot their stump promises the second they were sworn in, then we haven't learned a thing, and are solidly doomed to repeat the do nothing Congress of the future at best, and the march headlong toward totalitarian (Communist/Socialist/Progressive) government at worst. Neither side gives a bloody d@mn about the Constitution nor the electorate except to count your vote every term and collect your donations. It is evident that the Congress (on both sides of the aisle) wants NO ONE who might expose and upset their rotten apple cart.  The swamp is fighting back.

How does Roy Moore losing another election for what should be a surefire GOP Senate Seat...advance conservatism?

And no sh!t, Sherlock...of course Alabamans will decide. But we'll all be effected by handing the Senate to the Crazy Left Dems...and so we all have a right to express an opinion on the stupidity of nominating someone whom might be the ONLY conservative who would lose this important election.

Let Alabamans decide!

Didn’t they, already?

[Smokin Joe]

Didn’t they, already?

Sort of, based on the hit parade of media promoted lies and an entire near million dollar astroturf social media campaign.

Now that the truth is out about that crap, and the mendacity of the GOP as well as the Dems, They can still choose to elect someone else. Funny that the 'pubbies should be having such a fit that he's running in the Primary.

The Deep State Smear Machine is Gearing Up For Judge Moore Again ... Article at link....

Very good article.... @Bigun (thought you might enjoy this article)

Hall wants the nomenklatura to select the candidates from among its own ranks. It was so nice of Vanity Fair to warn Republicans about the dangers of a Moore candidacy.  I’m sure they have the best interests of the Republicans in mind.

LOL!  Nailed it! Truer words than those have never been written!

Thanks for the link @Sighlass

How does electing some Johnny Milqtoast the establishment approves of advance conservatism @Mesaclone ?

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Sessions should run again for his old seat.

At least he was fairly reliable in that position as he failed miserably as AG,

There are plenty of non-Johnny Milquetoast candidates. It's Alabama for crying out loud. All we ask is that they don't pick the only Republican candidate in decades that managed to lose a statewide election.

Looks like  he as a new job.. Just running for office.

How about Arnold Mooney, mentioned upthread?

[Formerly Once-Ler]

Roy Moore is the only Republican who could lose in Alabama.

[kevindavis007]

Roy Moore is the only Republican who could lose in Alabama.

I don't get the fascination of supporting losing candidates like Moore. Big deal so we lose on principle. Meanwhile a Dem wins the seat and it hurts Trump if wins in 2020 or helps the Dem President if the Dem wins in 2020.

Which tells me not one damned thing about Arnold Mooney.  And his website has very little information either.  I did find that he spent his life in the real estate business and got elected to the Alabama House in 2014.  Not even close to Roy Moore's lifetime of service to that state and his country.

[Sighlass]

Hold it, thought we were only picking winners, didn't Mooney run Mo Brooks Senate run last time? Out first round.... with the crooked (Trump pick) Luther Strange advancing to face Roy.

https://www.al.com/news/huntsville/2017/06/mo_brooks_taps_state_legislato.html

Roy was wiping the floor with everyone he faced... up until the GOPe and Democrats and the California Billionaires and late night television hosts (sending comics to mock Moore at town meetins) and the WAPO declared war on someone that too honest to hold office. Then Russian Bots were created, Fake FB pages, and the brigade of "if it is remotely possible that the allegations are true" came out of the closet. Even my darlin Ted Cruz shot across Roy's bow and ticked me off. Roy didn't have but a few friends (shoutout to Mo Brooks for not taking the bait like others did) left that where not gunning for him.... all over fake news manufactured by the WAPO and a few lying women ....

Voter Intimidation...Fake YouTube ad lies (if you vote for Roy your vote is recorded and you will be outed)... by the HighWay 31 political PAC group that only after the election was shown to be highly commie liberals... Roy was outspent 10 to 1... but that didn't matter, he would of won without the lies and those that spread them without impunity.  They mailed racist mailers to high minority sections of the state. Christian white women were the ones most likely to not vote conservative... The Project Birmingham liberal group bragged after the election about how effective they were in changing that demographic voting...

Yep I know of no dirtier election in the history of this great nation... I know of no better way to slap back at that affront than showing it did not win in the long run... Fool the voters once, but I doubt they can do it again... and America/Alabama gains a senator that you can be proud of. One that can't be bought and sold like a Ken the Senator for hire barbie doll.

___________________________

The last election of statewide politicians had an ugly truth come out... Kay Ivey (Governor) admitted that they vetted the new ones running for office with a questionnaire... one that asked if they supported a "Gas Tax".... If the new ones said "No" then the GOPe advised them they would not be supported (money) and to not run for office. Roy can't be bought and that makes certain powers that be upset... You choose your side, I will choose mine.

How does electing some Johnny Milqtoast the establishment approves of advance conservatism @Mesaclone ?

Not sure who Johnny Milqtoast is...but the likely GOP nominee from Alabama would almost certainly be a solid vote for more conservative judges, a stronger border force and wall structure, and a host of other Trumpian initiatives to strengthen conservative causes in government. Losing that seat would reverse the trend of increasing conservative/constitutional judges across the judiciary...and advance every imaginable liberal cause (from 9 month abortions to full amnesty and courts stuffed with MORE Lefties).

So give me a Johnny Milqtoast over Roy "can't win a Senate seat" Moore. Especially given that "Johnny" is almost certain to be a solid conservative who will support the President.

And it ain't even close.

You WILL know of a dirtier one, because that stuff will replay all over again in 2020 with extra gusto. All the things that derailed Moore will derail him again, and we will...again...hand that seat to the Dems. Again, this idiocy that proclaims Roy "Lolita" Moore to be the only conservative in Alabama is ludicrous and self defeating. Follow the Buckley rule, or fail...its really that simple.

I get you @Mesaclone!   Electing another player with an R beside his name and who will change exactly nothing in Washington is more important to you than electing an actual, life long proven Conservative.  I've had quite enough of that crap!  Not gonna play that no more!

That's the reality.  Do you need all of the fingers on one hand to count the Conservative Senators with the "R" next to their name?

It is why nothing changes.

It is why Mr. Chao is repeatedly elected Leader.

I am reminded of the old saying about making an omelet.  Goes something like this: "If you want to make an omelet you have to break some eggs!"

[Sighlass]

Really??? Name one!

Johnny Milqtoast candidate one that the GOPe has already pushed from Mobile... seems a favorite of the local somewhat conservative Yellowhammer and Washington Examiner and a slew of others...

[Right_in_Virginia]

Sorry to go back to this, but Conservatives need to identify and agree to the three most important issues …. rather than just a blanket "not conservative enough".  You may be discarding a candidate who meets your top three needs … and can win.

Just a thought.

[txradioguy]

Mark Levin came out and endorsed Mooney for the senate seat the other night on his radio show which I thought was interesting.
