I'm really proud of my birth state this morning. It's not often I get to say that.
OT: Roy Moore Campaign Rally
- Thread starter MomentInTheSun
- Start date
I have One Shining Moment playing on a loop at the bank today.
Hoping my Daughter and nieces and nephews and young friends experience more “proud days” like this in their lifetimes.....IF they choose to spend their lives here. I probably won’t be so lucky but for one day, the surprise win sure is enjoyable!
I’m in mourning. Will take a while to get over the face that we don’t have Roy Moore to kick around anymore.
He'll turn up again. He's like a bad penny.
If he did, Donnie would be tweeting in mouse ears and a princess robe every morning. And we’d hear all his tweets in a Daffy voice.
I doubt it. He’s old. I really can’t think of an office that he’d win at this point. I guess he could still have his non-profit, but even that I don’t see doing so well after the allegations.
He may not run for office, but he's not gonna disappear for long. Moore has had 12 lives politically and he's always going to have a base. It may have shrunk some, but if he can blame media and rant about sodomy, he'll keep a following because some people just want that red meat to tell them that's why everything sucks. It's comforting.
I tend to think he'll be insane and try to run for governor or try again for that Senate seat in 2020. Or he could see his path to influence back in the courts. But Roy Moore is not the kind of guy that just disappears from the scene for too long. He's lived in the spotlight and that's what he's convinced he was put on this earth to do. No way he just slides off into obscurity.
Too old for the courts.
He may run for something else but he won’t have a serious shot. Actually I’d be really surprised if he does. He disappeared from the campaign trial at the end. He’s done. Now maybe he’ll keep giving paid speeches but even that I’m not so sure.
Ole Roy is just waiting on God now, bruh. He ain't done until God tells him he is done. I.e. there may still be some sheep to be sheared and bucks to be made.
Too much to copy & paste, but a Toronto guy really nailed the GOP Chair of the county where I live. And of course I've known the guy VERY well all of my life. He wanted me to be his campaign manager for the 7th grade when he was running for Student Body President in high school. He is running for State Rep for this district to take the place of a guy that has been in office 28 years (who lives across the street from me, just to let you know that everyone knows everybody else). The guy has had to take down all of his FaceBook campaign stuff because he was getting hammered nationally. My oldest son alerted me of it & what a dumb arse he is for saying what he said. Just a couple of samples from the article

"It was 40 years ago," Alabama Marion County GOP chair David Hall tells me. "I really don't see the relevance of it. He was 32. She was supposedly 14. She's not saying that anything happened other than they kissed."

More Hall: “The other women that they’re using to corrobrate: number one, one was 19, one was 17, one was 16. There’s nothing wrong with a 30-year-old single male asking a 19-year-old, a 17-year-old, or a 16-year-old out on a date."

He probably talks about the "deep state pedophile rings" but doesn't see a problem with a 32 year old man making out with a 14 year old.Too much to copy & paste, but a Toronto guy really nailed the GOP Chair of the county where I live.

I have no idea what would possess a man, age 32, to go after young ladies that age. Very bizarre conduct to me. I am not perfect by any means-my Wife would be the first one to tell all of you that and she would not hold back--she is a typical German, and some know how they are, but I love her to death, but when I was 32 I had been married to my Boss for 7 years. The thought of having the urge to mess around with young ladies never crossed my mind, assuming I was not married at that time. Those young ladies are kids to me and messing around with a kid is something I find disgusting.
Perhaps if I were 13 or 14, then that is ok--
. If I had been 32 and single, I would not even look at young ladies that age. It's wrong at least to me and why not get a 22 or 23 year old if one wants someone young for a date.I was talking to some very conservative family in Alabama and they thought all this was being funded by Soros money, since it had never come out in past campaigns run by Moore. I told them I know the lady lawyer in Sarasota and that I knew she did not lie. She worked with Moore in Etowah County back in the 70s and saw him going after young ladies. CNN interviewed her.
Fine attorney and she does not, again, lie. I trust her and that was the icing on the cake for me.
So much for this, I am glad a good, capable guy won. I attended Jones' law school and everything I have heard about him from Birmingham attorneys has been nothing but good. Doug will do a good job for the State, I think.
Just rambling, Blaze ON!!
Good to hear. I'm sure Dem money sought out and pushed the stories, but that's not really relevant to me. Too many folks engaging in tribalism and shooting the messengers these days.I have no idea what would possess a man, age 32, to go after young ladies that age. Very bizarre conduct to me.
