WASHINGTON -- As Republican strategists weigh the party's prospects for 2006 and 2008, they are increasingly worried about a political confrontation with Roy S. Moore, the former chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court who became a hero to religious conservatives when he refused to follow a federal court order to remove a Ten Commandments monument from the state's judicial building.

I live in Ohio, so I couldn't vote for him anyway
To: njackson22
I'll send money to any primary opponent. As far as I'm concerned, he deliberately lost the case to further his political ambitions. He sold out the very people who support him, and set back the cause of getting a rational view of religion and government into place.
No other explanation makes sense to anyone with a legal education.

He'd be a better Guv than tax-loving Riley.

I wouldn't mind Judge Moore as POTUS.
However, if he ran as a third party candidate, this might
allow Hitlery to slip in through a split in the Conservative vote.
I don't think he can win the GOP nomination.

Sadly there are two megalomaniacs out there who are capable of doing just such a thing. One is Moore and the other is Tom Tancredo. Both are so in love with themselves that they'd screw over the entire nation simply to promote themselves.

He would definitely split the wheat from the chaff in the GOP. Hilary as president, Jezebel.
To: slowpipe
If Hilary won I would move out of the country.

He didn't operate in a legal vaccuum. Whether it's right or not, don't try to tell me that the Chief Justice of the state supreme court didn't know that a federal court would get involved when he put that monument there.
He did it, and he did it in such a way, to provoke an outcome where he can claim martyrdom status along with the Ten Commandments. It was a very clever political strategy, but I think it was incredibly cynical and an absolute betrayal of those who were striving to get a balance between government and religion.
He set that cause back, yet somehow comes out the hero. Go figure.
