Well, yes it is.

I mentioned to Blade about the populist agitation strategy and how it can carry a scoundrel much further toward power than a functioning democracy ever could. The exit polls indicated 29% of the voters stated they were there to support Trump. I can't see that being anything less than two thirds of the Moore votes. And how much of the Trump support isn't part of the rising right-wing agitation?

In any case, this is reason why I'm saluting this moment, as a sign that resistance is very much alive. We will know, even if the right comes back to shove Alabama further into fascism, that resistance will be there. It helps the faith.

First of all... Blade... I don't really know who you mean by "You people". That sounds like your assumption that I am a liberal. But I don't really know what you think liberalism is because I see so many grossly distorted perceptions coming from "YOU people".

We already elected the antichrist - twice, Barack Hussein Obama and he is still controlling subversive minions to continue to destroy America from his headquarters two blocks from the White House.

"Straight up decency"? So you believe that unfounded, 40 year old allegations, by questionable accusers should have voters running away from the only decent candidate in the race?? However you have noooo problem voting for a man who believes a "woman's right to choose" extends right up to the moment of birth.
Slick, I believe you have a warped sense of decency.

I think you have a warped sense of reality... In case you didn't know, a democracy and a jury are not the same thing. It's not the job of the voters to decide if Moore is guilty. And BTW, Moore is also a convicted criminal who's been banned from the bench twice. So I'm not talking about the 40 year old allegations that YOU want to make the primary focus. Did you forget that he's been convicted or were you just hoping I wouldn't bring it up? And it's not just his transgressions either, it's his behavior too. He clearly presents himself as a an extreme bigot. The people of Alabama are saying they don't want bigots with criminal records representing them. So it's not really about Moore, it's about the people of Alabama and what they are willing to accept.

Get a clue Sparky.

If he's destroying anything at all, it would be your bigoted, racist America and I applaud him for that. In fact I gotta middle finger right here for YOUR America. I support a different America, the America represented by the Statue of Liberty, the America with the courage to support higher ideals and most of all freedom.

Listen up Slick, I already got a clue - I'm fully aware of Judge Moore being twice removed from the bench because he stood up for what he believed. He was removed because of the 10 Commandments in his court room (Supreme Court also has them), then the people of Alabama reelected him to the Alabama Supreme Court and he was again removed for refusing to issue marriage licenses to same sex couples.
Its curious to me that there were two opportunities for the good folks of Alabama to pick someone other than Moore - Luther Strange and Moe Brooks come to mind, but they picked Moore. As far as I'm concerned YOU can bring up anything YOU like and it won't change the fact that if these women hadn't made these (I believe bogus) allegations it would probably be Senator Elect Moore.
Are you an Alabama Republican? If not, I don't need to hear any more of your talk about Moore or what we "are willing to accept".

So, electing a same sex marriage advocate, abortion advocate and left swinger (and I may have double meaning there) was the right way to go to the Promised Land? Maybe not. He will not have long to prove himself.

Carol Kelly

Totally agreed on all points! Now let them shut up for two years, when Alabama might be able to save face w/o the help of every yankee in the North. They got a pretty good taste of that during the Civil Rights marches era. Civil Rights for whom?

Unproven!

Now this is why I still sometimes read comments on this site! It's postings like this one that provide valuable insight into the thought processes used by leftists.

Here, you describe a highly organized and well-funded campaign of vicious lies and personal smears against a good man as "straight up decency".

That's very telling. Thanks for that.

After nearly an entire precinct in a black neighborhood in Birmingham was tossed out this morning by the Alabama Secretary of State for widespread and rampant voter fraud, estimates have Roy Moore in the lead by more than 300 votes. The 421st precinct racked up nearly 26K votes for Doug Jones, mostly with brand-new voter registrations, in an area with only 1100 residents.
The widespread fraud and corruption is the new method of winning elections for Democrats, who have little to no actual support in America anymore outside of the 4 cities they all seem to live in. This isn’t Chicago we’re talking about, however…it’s Alabama. There’s no way some Democrat beat a fine, upstanding public servant like Roy Moore, who has been a faithful Alabamian all his life.
Police say they are also ready to make hundreds of arrests just as soon as the DA files charges. They could stem anywhere from voter fraud, a 3rd-degree felony, to falsification, a 1st-degree misdemeanor, landing hundreds if not thousands of criminals in jail for a year or more.
The method of fraud was fake IDs, which is ironic since Democrat oppose voter ID laws because they are “too expensive” for people living in poverty in minority neighborhoods.
The Alabama Secretary of State’s office says it will refrain from certifying the election until a recount can happen.
The Military vote has not been counted.

So as the say, "It not over till the fat lady sings.
The State has until Jan 3rd to get all the votes in.

Actually, what you support is an America where everyone is free to agree with your own particular brand of bigotry and intolerance. Concerning the Ten Commandments; this was an order by an activist Federal Judge who, since he couldn't have them removed from SCOTUS, because they outrank him, elected to try and force his personal druthers on a state court instead.
The gay marriage thing was basically a protest. Oh, I forgot. you only defend people who protest things that are in the official StaightUp's Guide to Acceptable Protest Subjects.
