Well, he wanted his day in court. Now he’ll get it.

We all have our day in court. Those who lie do not end well. Roy Moore had a chance to persuade people during the campaign, and failed in a very Republican state. He did not do well on the Sean Hannity show, in a very friendly format.

County results
Red = Moore
Blue= Jones

...or that your party’s leadership is composed of back stabbing stooges for their globalist bosses.

^^^So True^^^

It's sad to read fellow Freepers here, fail to see the massive level of corruption a Constitutional supporting candidate had to go through in this Alabama election.

Didn’t she admit to falsifying the supposed signature in her yearbook?

[MileHi]

I hope Moore buries her and her lawyer under the court house.

[MileHi]

Have you called Bitch McConnell, Cory Gardner and the RNC to congratulate them yet?

[Bodleian_Girl]

"Discovery will be a bitch for her."

I doubt she has anything to fear.

She is going to have to answer what the media never reported:

How did it happen that she was represented for free
by the law firm of Ed Gentle, the treasurer of the Alabama Democratic Party?

[jeffersondem]

“But I don’t know what the law specifically says in Alabama.”

It may not matter.

The U.S. Supreme Court in their ‘64 Sullivan ruling specifically struck down Alabama law in riding to the rescue of the New York Times when it was imperiled by southern justice.

Of course, the federal court system could now vote to pass a new law to punish Moore since he is, to many, unpopular.

There never was going to be an offyear election in which any candidate received what the Presidential candidate received. You are deliberately skewing reasonable expectations here.

Fair point, but the reality is that one side worked hard to generate enthusiasm among its base and get them to vote, while the other side just ran a Hillary Clinton campaign.

You are also deliberately ignoring the cause of why people didn't vote for Moore.

I'm not ignoring it. I don't discuss it because I don't know anyone who voted for Trump in 2016 and refused to vote for Moore in 2017 -- so I have no way of knowing exactly why they didn't vote for Moore. If you ask all 600,000+ such people why they didn't vote for Moore, you might find that there are a half-dozen reasons, not just one or two.

What I do know is that Donald Trump faced similar -- even identical -- accusations when he was running in 2016 ... and he still won the damn election. He also won Alabama by a lopsided margin. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news here, but Trump clearly ran like a guy who actually wanted to win his election. Roy Moore did not.

Ahh! And in that I agree completely :-)

[<1/1,000,000th%]

Is this the woman who lied about having a phone in her room and where they were meeting?

[Alberta's Child]

LOL -- I thought so.

Sorry for the confusion. :-)

[fatima]

She sure did.Now he can go into her past.Guess they still feel a threat from him.

[fwdude]

He lost to a D in Alabama.

He lost to the entire GOP establishment, and very likely massive election fraud. The GOP-e isn't going to investigate, conveniently.

[DiogenesLamp]

But the biggest thing he could do is to be a voice against the self-serving machine. When people fear him being a “loose cannon” this is what they’re talking about. He could have the courage to do the unthinkable and open up the swamp to scrutiny that nobody else will dare to do. They can’t afford to have a guy who isn’t afraid to say the emperor is naked.

That was exactly what I was thinking.

[DiogenesLamp]

What kind of campaigning was he supposed to do in such a situation? No matter what he did, the media was going to use it to air unpaid political ads against him.

Exactly, and this is one of the reasons I constantly hammer our complacency about allowing Liberal Democrats to have monopolistic control over all information systems, like the broadcasting networks.

Our number one focus should be on eradicating their propaganda machine and breaking their control of information.

[DiogenesLamp]

Sorry; I was using the figure given by Diogenes Lamp and accepted by his/her opposition here. DL, do you have a link for the 28% lead by Moore before the accusations?

No. I read that about three months ago, and at the time I didn't consider it important, because all sorts of stories were out about how far ahead Moore was after the primary.

I'm not sure how you can go back and look at old poll numbers now.

[DiogenesLamp]

Do you have a link to that one?

Not any more. It was from months ago, and nobody thought at the time that it mattered. Moore was going to win in a slam dunk, so who cared what the day to day polling showed? It varied. 28 points is the highest number I recall seeing in the various polls that were coming out at the time.

[DiogenesLamp]

...you may conclude that you weren't such a great candidate after all.

Only if you have blinders on. Given the numbers of occasions the "swamp" members of the Republican party backstabbed other candidates like Chris McDaniel (bought advertisements portraying him as a racist who wanted to prevent black people from voting.) you begin to realize there is a big pattern to this claim of "bad candidate."

The "bad candidates" are always the ones who do not support the Washington Swamp agenda. The Washington swamp always does everything they can to wreck the campaigns of these "bad candidates", and then after they pull the knife out, they continuously refer to them as "bad candidates."

[DiogenesLamp]

Of course, the federal court system could now vote to pass a new law to punish Moore since he is, to many, unpopular.

This is the other thing about which I worry. Once you have been officially designated as a "pariah" many doors close to you, and most especially doors for justice.
