Roy Moore / Alabama Special Senate Election Megathread

[The Horror Channel]

Every time I see this thread pop up; my first thought is what again?!?!?!

Roy fucking Moore is like a terrible fucking person but he is like the father of the Lord Jesus Christ so Alabamans will vote for him come December 12 MAGA

MAGA

Some Alabamians are going to vote for him no matter what, or who,he does. I, however, am voting for Doug Jones.

[The Horror Channel]

Not necessarily. But Telconi has been offering half-answers this whole thread, and gun rights are his particular bugaboo. I want to see how far that logic extends.

If Doug Jones is a murder by being pro-choice then logically being pro-gun liberalisation is being a murderer too.

100% this.

From the fucking Federalist, this... whatever in fuck is this:

I have a 14-year-old daughter. If I caught Roy Moore doing what was alleged, for starters I would kick him where it counts. That said, I don’t think it’s wrong to vote for Moore.

"The abyss is not a myth! I HAVE SEEN IT!"

...How can someone in the same breath of considering him awful for that also say that there is nothing wrong with voting for him? Jesus Christ, it's like we went back to the early 1900's or 18000's.

The family values and religious morals and other such things conservatives claim to cherish are really only props for wailing about Godless Democrats, Corrian, never something that should be allowed to get in the way of helping Republicans grasp every shred of poerr they can.

Sure, Roy Moore may be a child molester, but he never had an abortion, and he molested girls so we know he's a good Christian heterosexual. As long as he doesn't violate those two cardinal sins, anything he chooses to do in his spare time with underage girls is his business, and meanwhile he is needed to hold the line against godless Democrats who don't understand morality and personal responsibility like Republicans do!

Would it even be a shock if something like that one guy comes out where he told a mistress to get an abortion?

Moore is polling ahead again. God dammit, Alabama.

[Corrian]

Moore is polling ahead again. God dammit, Alabama.

Initial polling quickly flipped to Jones, but they're coming back to Moore just like Trump supporters did to Trump after various things.

Still, this may be way more narrow than it should be for a Democrat vs Republican race in ALABAMA.

[The Black Forrest]

Moore is polling ahead again. God dammit, Alabama.

Well? I guess in Alabama sexual assault of a teenager is ok as long as you are not a democrat and are against abortion.

As if the local yokels will tell fake news pollsters how they'll really vote in Bammy. Come on, man! These polls are almost meaningless.

It boggles my mind. I mean, can't pretend I ever had a particularly high opinion of conservatives and the way their much touted claim to be the people of morality and family values gets remarkably grey for political purposes.

But openly supporting a child molester kind of shocks even me, like half of them not even disputing the claims just going, "okay, he probably did molest some teenage girls, and that's terrible...but it doesn't matter because he's a Republican and we need every vote we can get in the Senate! Jesus forgives!(as long as you're a conservative)"

Which is very likely to favor Moore. People don't want to say they'll vote for a child molester, but in the end might because they're not a Democrat.

It doesn't surprise me in the least. During the Trump era, and with Trump in general, conservatives, or in the least a large chunk of them, have proven to me why I should never take anything they say seriously ever again.

[Petrasylvania]

Man, the vicious campaign ads that Alabama could result in. "The Republicans voted in a child molestor because they thought it's better than voting for a Democrat." "The only Crimson Tide Alabama cares about are the waves of teenage girls being deflowered by Roy Moore."

[Galloism]

"The only Crimson Tide Alabama cares about are the waves of teenage girls being deflowered by Roy Moore."

You angling for a job?

Because I think you could get a job.

[Vassenor]

Moore's doubled down. Apparently paedophilia is a "Christian value" now.

People started lying to exit polls on election day 2004. News media though Kerry was going to win. Turned out people lied and later admitted it. The lying to pollsters sort of started there in my dusty recollections ,,,but I see your point.

Crimson tide? Waves ...of teenage girls? Omigod.

*long pause*

I didn't EVER think that Alabama thing was about menstrual flow ...til now. wow.

*barfs*

There's a joke here I'm not getting.

[Dahon]

You have more faith in humanity's basic decencies than I do at this point in time.

[Corrian]

Accusations against Roy Moore are a conspiracy of "lesbians, gays, and socialists"

[Dahon]

Also, its pastor was convicted for destroying evidence of his son having his way with a few kids.

At least one more guy in that proud I can't believe you guys haven't banned stumping in churches yet is also a convicted kid diddler.

The abyss is not a myth.

I have seen it.

...Apparently thinking raping children is bad is some sort of socialism now.
