Leftover Discussion Thread: AL Special Election

[edpc]

I wouldn't either.   It's one of the reasons I liked Moore.   He always fight back.  Always.

Looking forward to his 'purple suit' speech from the steps of the local high school.

[DiogenesLamp]

Nope.  Which means all the caterwauling about his being a child molester was just a bunch of bullshit, and the people on our side who kept repeating it just played into the enemies' hands.

That is exactly what I have been thinking,  and we keep doing it.   We've done this same sort of crap with countless candidates.   Remember George Allen in Virginia?  Or Trent Lott?   Or Tom DeLay? 

[DiogenesLamp]

The worst Republican is still better than any Democrat.

In this case I would regard it as a no-brainer,  because this guy would have opposed the Washington establishment.   


Some of our guys who are part of it are Democrats in Republican clothing and they need to go.

Except when it's Romney - then most are giddy he lost.

Except when it's Romney - then most are giddy he lost.   

Heck I still even voted for McCain and Romney. Didn't like it.  But I did my duty.

I do not understand your seeming need to inject a sort of mean spirited levity into most of your commentary.   


It is the repetition of such accusations that has caused so much damage to this attempt to steer the nation in a better direction.   

You should watch the movie "Ridicule."   

[DiogenesLamp]

I voted for Romney and I would have preferred him over Obama.   My consolation for supporting someone I considered to be a Liberal Republican was the belief that he could improve things fiscally.   

But I would have much preferred someone else.   

[dfwgator]

Not voting for a candidate is not the same as supporting the other candidate.  Sometimes the end does not justify the means.  Everyone reaches a point eventually where the lesser of two evils is still
Evil

Yeah, well just comfort yourself with that thought when a Democrat-controlled Senate shitcans Trump's next SCOTUS pick.

[Frank Cannon]

And to think there was a time when races for seats on Capitol Hill pitted men like James Madison against
men like James Monroe.

Right. The sunny old days when men of class and distinction almost beat to death a Senate college in the well of their hallowed halls.



You ever bother to crack a history book open or you just like blowing Pollyanna sunshine up peoples asses?

[DiogenesLamp]

Heck I still even voted for McCain and Romney. Didn't like it.  But I did my duty.

This is what grown-ups do. 


They don't whine about the choices they would have preferred,   they take the choices which have been thrust upon them,  and they do their duty. 

[Free Vulcan]

That is exactly what I have been thinking,  and we keep doing it.   We've done this same sort of crap with countless candidates.   Remember George Allen in Virginia?  Or Trent Lott?   Or Tom DeLay?

It's like people keep forgetting after it happens again and again. The Dems have taken it to a whole new level this time. They smell blood in the water now.

    Ivanka will run in 2024 and you will vote for her, perhaps, cause she's better than Cory Booker?

[DiogenesLamp]

Right. The sunny old days when men of class and distinction almost beat to death a Senate college in the well of their hallowed halls.

I read what Charles Sumner said about him.   Charles Sumner deserved that beating.   Maybe not quite as hard as he received,   but he certainly earned a good beat down.   

[edpc]

Moore makes it kind of easy.

[TomSea]

Look at all of those Senators that pulled their support from Moore and now, the next election for that seat I gather will be November of 2020.

[EasyAce]

You ever bother to crack a history book open or you just like blowing Pollyanna sunshine up peoples asses?

My most recently-read history book: Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, The Bill of Rights, and The Election that Saved a Nation

What'll they write about the Alabama Senate election, I wonder. Moore vs. Jones: The Election that Sickened a Nation?

[dfwgator]

Moore makes it kind of easy.

Well, enjoy Senator Jones.   I'm sure he'll be a barrel-full of laughs.

[DiogenesLamp]

    Ivanka will run in 2024 and you will vote for her, perhaps, cause she's better than Cory Booker?

If that is the choice presented to me between now and 2024,  what I will do will depend a lot upon what these two do in the meantime.   

I very much doubt Ivanka Trump will be on the ballot in 2024,  and I'm pretty sure Cory Booker won't either. 

[Hoodat]

And I suppose if you had been accused of near rape and underage molestation 40 years ago,  you would have had the perfect comeback?

Perfect comeback?  No.  But I definitely would have made myself accessible to the voters and the press instead of hiding myself for months after botching a Sean Hannity interview.

[DiogenesLamp]

Moore makes it kind of easy.

I'm getting the impression you didn't like him before the accusations,  and I am utterly shocked,  shocked I tell you!  That someone who didn't like him anyways,  is more prone to mocking him.   

[Frank Cannon]

I read what Charles Sumner said about him.   Charles Sumner deserved that beating.   Maybe not quite as hard as he received,   but he certainly earned a good beat down.

I hear ya brother. Talking poorly about folks partaking in a lynching is a bit too much for the civilized Senate. They should have killed the son of a bitch......right?

[Hoodat]

Moore not conceding yet.

Nor will he.

[Hoodat]

I wouldn't either.   It's one of the reasons I liked Moore.   He always fight back.  Always.

I believe you are confusing 'stubbornness' with 'fighting back'.  Definitely would like to have seen a fighter in this race.

[TomSea]

About 3 campaign appearances in the last 2 weeks, whatever it was by Moore, not many.

And people ragged about McConnell, but as said, a number of Senators bailed on him.

[Frank Cannon]

What'll they write about the Alabama Senate election, I wonder. Moore vs. Jones: The Election that Sickened a Nation?

The same thing they wrote about the contest between Roscoe Conkling and Charles Wheaton in the 1872 NY Senate battle......not a damn thing because no one will care. Barely anyone other than the MSM and DC pimps cared about this election to begin with.
