Let's see if Moore and his phone book attorney sue.  I kind of doubt it.

Well, no, that would be silly...prosecuting himself.  I'm referring to a Prosecutor who should be looking at Moore for statutory rape, if we are to believe the brickbats thrown at Moore in this election.

Is Moore going to concede, or is he waiting to be raptured up first?

Not voting for a candidate is not the same as supporting the other candidate.



I completely disagree.   Elections are binary choices.  You will get one,  or you will get the other.  If you have a stake in the outcome,  you need to choose.



Quote from: Mom MD on December 12, 2017, 11:32:16 pm
Sometimes the end does not justify the means. 


The "means"  is voting.   The "end"  is whatever side you have a stake in.

What's the rush? If he concedes and then finds out there was an error counting votes, the concession stands anyway. Give them time to check the results over.

Note: I would have pulled the lever for Moore if I were a resident, but not in the primaries.


This part I can at least comprehend.

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.

   I turned down running for a City Council member in my small Texas town cause I can't seem to keep my skeletons in the closet, particularly those that are posted on the County Jail Database with my Mugshot.
   I'm OK with that but that woman in Virginia might not let me BITE HER if she discovers I've been arrested (on more than one occasion in different counties) and no, I don't have a problem with authority it just seems to be a major inconvenience, at times.

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

More than sometimes, I fear.

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

But reality dictates you are going to get one of them.   

The notion that they are on the razor thin edge of equal is nonsensical to me.   


It reminds me of what one of my friends told his sister after she informed him that she had found her "soul mate." 


"Five billion people on the planet,  and the one meant for you just happens to live a mile away.  What are the odds of that?  "


Equally bad?  What are the odds of that?
