Please don’t, Roy. Thank you.

Moore was in his 30s. And it doesn't matter what we in FR think... it matters greatly to AL voters. They rejected him once, and they'll sure as hell reject him again.

And here it goes again. Left wing Kook Liberal reporter finds one woman who claims she was 14 and they engaged in heavy petting, and she finds six or seven other women (over 18 at the time) who claimed Moore was a complete gentleman. (These two things contradict, or did you notice?)

The Kook Reporter (from the Washington Post) alleges that she has 8 accusers, when in fact she only has one that has accused him of anything serious, and then she advances the claim that dating 18 year olds is the equivalent of molesting 14 year olds, an idea which his critics immediately accept and spread.

Later, Gloria Allred comes up with another kook who claims he almost raped her when she was 16, and then this becomes 9 accusers, when there are in fact only two, and both of them came through the same woman who was subsequently identified as a Democrat operative.

So here you are, trying to say the people of Alabama rejected him on the basis of dating 18 year old girls, rather than face the obvious conclusion that he was rejected because the Democrat Media weapon, and Republican backstabbers convinced enough people that he was a child molesting rapist.

I believe the people of Alabama probably wasn't thrilled that he dated 18 year old girls while he was in his 30s, but i'm pretty sure they objected more to the allegation that he was a child molester and a rapist.

I know I would personally object more to someone molesting children and attempting to rape woman than I would to a 30 year old man dating a teenager, but perhaps you see dating teenagers as the more serious offense.

And none of it has been proven, and in fact, much of it has been contradicted by other witnesses, but let's not let something like "presumption of innocence" or "due process" get in the way of a witch hunt or anything.

DNC and RINOs probably spent about 100 million in false accusations, dark money smears and election machine hacks. That means they would only have to spend half that next time.

Long before the (real or conjured up) sex scandal, Moore won his Chief Justice slot in 2012 by 4%. Romney won AL on the same ballot by 22.4%. Alabamians just aren’t that into Moore.

Yeah, and the fact that the entire Alabama Judiciary (Mostly Republicans) hated him, and had taken out a full page add in all the significant Alabama newspapers urging everyone to vote for the Democrat, why that had absolutely no effect on the race.

You also overlooks the fact that in the very next down ballot statewide race,(2012) the Republican candidate (Twinkles Cavanaugh) which won, only got a few thousand more votes than did Mooore, so I guess they weren't much into him either.

Could it be that people simply care more about the Presidential race than they do down ballot candidates?

No, that's obviously incorrect. We must surmise some sort of intent on the people of Alabama that agrees with what we wish to believe.

Moore is delusional. He is dead to Alabama voters.

He's not dead to all of them, but he's probably dead to enough of them to insure that he won't win.

He got a raw deal, and nobody should be happy about it.

The Roy Moore fans in Alabama will have another chance to vote for him! And, be dumb as a post again...

It wasn't his fans that were dumb, it was the Deep State/Establishment "Washington Spending Party protection Squad" that was so effective.

They got enough of the actually dumb voters to sit home (or write in some crap) and let a Democrat win.

the Roy Moore mob will arrive with a “splat” in . . . 3 . . . 2 . . . 1

You're the one that goes "splat" when I arrive. You speak out of ignorance, and don't bother to learn the details before you offer your opinion.

You didn't even know what they had done to Chris McDaniel, and that's why you didn't grasp that they had also done it to Roy Moore. (And would have done it to Luther Strange if he had won the nomination, but the attack would have been about corruption, rather than made up accusations about sex.)

This guy should go sit down and never darken Alabama’s political door again. He’s a creep!

Because left wing Media whore from the Washington post said so? Because a Democrat kook operative dragged up two kook women who accused him of something that they claim happened 38 years ago, but their own stories don't even hang together?

Some people are so easily led by the media, and that is the real problem we have in this country.

Roy Moore is just the latest Emmanuel Goldstein.

This is the thing people don't get. They very badly wanted to take out this guy, and they spent a fortune to do it. It is not unsimilar to what they did to Chris McDaniel.

You're lucky that someone goes to the bother of trying to set you straight.

We already deep into the primary for governor in Alabama and I believe the filing deadline has long passed. His next chance to run is 2022. Not gonna happen, but y’all go ahead and send your checks to Roy. After all, that’s what his statement is all about - keeping the cash flow going.

You're welcome. I've watched the establishment in collusion with the Democrat Media Weapon, destroy numerous of our candidates, and then we have the slow witted among us come along and say "They were just "bad" candidates", as if they knew what they were talking about.

George Allen, Chris McDaniel, Sharon Angle, Christine O'Donnell, and several more who's names I have forgotten, have all been destroyed by the combined efforts of the Democrat media Weapon and our own side helping to stab them in the back. Do you know what they all had in common? They were going to reform Washington, especially the crazy spending. They were all Tea Party.

Kooks like Alan Grayson, Hank Johnson, Nancy Pelosi, and Maxine Waters are never described as "bad" candidates. They are literally stark raving mad, and yet no one criticizes them as "bad" candidates.

Getting someone to fight when you deliberately pick a fight is no great trick. The problem we have in this nation right now is that too few people bother to fight for what is right, and even worse, go along with the other side when it comes to doing evil against a man.
