I hope he doesn't, or gets beaten if he does.  Here we are, approaching the bottom of the thread (I hope!) and I've reflected on it a bit.  We don't need the distraction going into the General Election. 

Roy Moore's hill is not one for us to die upon.

@Cyber Liberty

I respectfully and strongly disagree!  IMHO it is exactly the kind of hill we need to live or die on!

I got a few Doug Jones bumper stickers (got them as a lark, I have a distant cousin by that name and Doug was giving away free stickers and cousin wanted a few). I will send you one if you want since you had rather the lib win.

Me, I will keep my Roy Moore sticker on my truck, whether he runs or not. If not, I will probable write him in the next election anyway.

The GOPe are pushing some Mobile RINO now anyway instead of perhaps Palmer or Mo Brooks. Both of whom have a decent conservative voting record.

I agree this dirty play has to be defanged somehow, but I have a hard time believing there are no other rock-ribbed conservatives in AL.

It's not a matter of whether or not there are others.  It's a matter of not defending the people's choice regardless of who that is and until that stops the establishment wins every time.

As much as I disliked it, the voters did make their choice and the entire country has a pro-abort, anti-gun leftist in the Senate.  This may come as a shock to some upthread, but I am not a supporter of that kind of Senator. 

It's up to AL, not me.  But I'm entitled to register my preference because of the fact it affects the whole country.  If the AL Republicans decide it's Moore, then I will be there in support and defense of the candidate.

So, if the "people" nominate a moderate in the primary you'll be right here fighting for that guy...right? Me thinks not.

If the people of Alabama actually did such a thing without being subjected to outright lies and innuendo I would be absolutely astounded.  Not going to happen so there is no need for me to speculate on it.

I believe he is implying, correctly or not, that by sabotaging Roy Moore, you contributed to the election of Doug Jones.

It's the old binary choice thing ... always relevant.

The GOPe isn't supporting Trump either and exposing those bastards might well be Trump's greatest accomplishment to date.

@Emjay

LOL!  Be careful, dear.   

That concept seems impossible to grasp for too many otherwise, nice people here. 

Would love to see the results of a serious study as to what what political event turned one on to politics.

Moved into the D.C. Region the day George Wallace was shot at a plaza in Laurel, MD.  Two exits before mine.

May, 1972.  Arthur Bremer. 

Gas lines.  Odd even days.  15% 30 year fixed rate mortgages.   

A Georgian scientist unable to delegate, as POTUS.  Unsuccessful rescue attempt for our Iranian-held hostages.

Along came Ronald Reagan and later Rush Limbaugh, and I knew exactly what kind of 'Conservative' I was, and still am today.

I'm hoping and praying that there are millions more 40 year olds out there that had Donald Trump affect them the way Reagan hit me.

I take a look at the Democrat Party today.

Do you think they pulled this AOC- girl rock group out of their behinds?

Imagine the power these b******* would enjoy under Madam Hillary?

We were THAT freaking close, boys and girls.

....and yet I still have to gag reading all my fellow Briefers telling me essentially, "I'm gonna sit this out..." fill-in-the-excuse or virtue bruised.

Then his/her premise would be incorrect.  I'm not sabotaging Moore, that's why I didn't post anything on this thread right away.  I live in AZ, and have consistently said it's up to the folks who live in AL.  That said, I do have a desire to get the abortion-loving, gun-grabbing Rat out of that office because it affects the whole country.

At this stage of the 2020 Election, the choice is notably not binary.

Gee, why not give us something to vote *FOR*?

@DCPatriot   Congrats for hanging in.  I'm gonna have to take another timeout.  The ignorance and ugliness displayed by too many on this forum are too painful for me to take right now.  Maybe in a fe weeks.

I understand completely.  You're right.

But given the Democrats' public embrace of Socialism with an "I'm the boss" attitude, ready to take names of people who vote Centrist?

The ballot is the only thing we have.   And it's a good thing Donald Trump is our quarterback.
