"hold them by the nose, kick them in the a** and give them hell all the time"
General George S. Patton Jr. speech to soldiers during World War II
General Patton never got the chance to run for public office, but another West Point graduate who served in the Vietnam War has run for public office and been elected multiple times.
Now he wants to be the next US Senator from Alabama.
Roy Moore went into action.........
He called for deployment of the Army to the southern border while the details of "the Wall" are worked out.
Moore, a former prosecutor, laid out the case that appointed Senator Luther Strange is mixed up big time with the enemies of the man whose name Strange used in vain during the debate, President Donald J. Trump.
"In just about four days the future course of our nation, of our politics in America may well be determined.......My opponent on the other hand has been a professional lobbyist for over 23 years....He earned 6.674 million dollars during the nine year period from his lobbying disclosure form from 1999 until 2008...for over 23 years he maintained a condo worth half a million dollars at 801 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington DC...."
Another dead giveaway as to Senator Strange's real "home" came at the beginning of the debate when Strange acknowledged his wife's absence because of the birth of a grandchild. Strange said that his wife was "in Washington"........
Governor Sarah Palin spoke at a rally after the debate in support of Judge Roy Moore saying:
'He was deplorable before deplorable was cool....are you ready to send the loudest message that you can sent to DC at this time. The loudest message to "the swamp". Are you ready to tell them "Here Comes the Judge"?

His home isn't Sweet Home Alabama, its a plot of swamp land in Washington DC.
I like the cut of Moore’s jib.
I think Trump has been played by Yertle the Tertle and Strange and has now committed to a point from which he cannot recover and still have some pride left.
Look for Trump to publicly disavow Strange if he is roundly defeated in this election.
And I do think Moore will roundly defeat him.
Trump has still not learned the ways and byways of the swamp and he's not being well guided by the likes of Yertle and Lyin Ryan.
But make no mistake, this in no way diminishes my regard for Trump.
I simply feel he has been masterfully played and once he realizes it, he WILL react.
Moore needs to win to shift things in Washington in Donald Trump’s direction and create leverage to force the change to moving his agenda forward on a recalcitrant and unwilling elite.
“I think Trump has been played by Yertle the Tertle . . . .”
Yea, right. Sit back and employ a little patience and you will see it is totally the opposite. Than ask yourself;
How in the world did he amass such an empire and wealth by being played by eunuchs of the caliber of McConnell?
Good post...thanks
LORD,
The government rests upon Your shoulders. Your will be done in the Alabama Senate race on Tuesday. Bless Roy Moore, who stands unashamed for the Gospel of CHRIST.
Blessed is the nation whose GOD is the LORD. In Him we place our trust.
In JESUS’ Name we pray. Amen.
There is a Higher Power who is ultimately in charge, we can rest assured of that.
The is more interesting commentary about the campaign in Alabama at the Nextrush website:
ALABAMA RUNOFF ELECTION: CASE FOR ROY MOORE, RALLIES FOR MOORE, STRANGE posted on September 21, 2017.
Oldsmaj was being generous. If Trump wasn’t played then why is he supporting Mitch McConnell’s minion over a God-fearing anti-swamp conservative???
And I do think Moore will roundly defeat him.
*************
I think the outcome may hinge on how successful Strange is in
getting crossover democrats to vote for him in the runoff.
Yea, right. Both of you are sooooo much smarter than Trump. /s
For one thing, I totally believe he knows Yertle is playing him.
Trump is well aware of where loyalties lie and how factions lie.
But he is, after all is said and done, a gentleman and a statesman...he has just not yet learned to finesse some his replies and reactions.
He reminds me so much of Reagan...Reagan was accused of being a puppet for so many of the Washington assholes...he knew the score, he led them on, then he literally pulled the rug from under their feet.
Trump has been played by Yertle...but neither Yertle or Trump foresaw the rise of Moore...I certainly didn't see it...I had hoped for it, but Moore solidified his base and had an election been held immediately, Strange would have been gone...period, and Yertle would never have had the chance to do his machinations with Trump.
Trump is far, far from stupid, but he is a little politically naive.
Yertle is unwittingly helping to change that and once Trump has been solidly convinced of what Moore carries...Yertle will suffer the consequences.
Trumps is also just a little, um, shall we say, vengeful?...and he will retaliate.
We may not see a public reckoning, but I firmly believe there will be a reckoning.
I have my popcorn ready...and I have patience.
But a couple of things still mystify me...one of them being the endorsement of Strange by the NRA early on, before an election was even scheduled.
They knew one was going to happen, they just never foresaw the rise of Moore.
I do think that the powers that be felt strongly that the battle would be Strange vs Brooks.
The little support Brooks held was within his stronghold of Madison/Limestone/Huntsville area and I suppose that the ILA guys at the NRA figured that a bunch of liberal rocket scientists were going to go with the weakest 2nd Amendment advocate, which was Brooks, therefore they would throw their support to the known stronger 2d Amendment advocate...which is Strange.
Just my opinion...your mileage may differ.
So you’re saying this whole Strange vs. Moore election thing is just another lesson by Trump in 4-D chess? It sure takes a lot of people to play this game since it included firing Bannon & Gorka so they could enlist into the Loyal Opposition faction for this episode. In general, I’m more of a fan of Occam’s Razor for explanations of most things.
It doesn’t take a genius to see the difference between swamp creature McConnell’s mini-me and a swamp-enemy with a proven track record.
My question to you is civil, reasonable and pertinent. Why is Trump backing the swamp over the anti-swamp?
Interesting breakdown. Also, pointing you to my #14 comment as I should have pinged you.
There’s that pesky crossover factor again, that allows Dems in states not requiring party registration to vote for the perceived weaker Republican.
Or like here in South Carolina, where crossovers keep reelecting Flimsey Tinkerbelle to the Senate.
I’m pulling for Judge Moore, and I hope the `Bubba factor’ gets him elected.
Trying to place your rational of what you know into what he knows is of pure folly. That is as simple as it gets. Deal with it.
Crossover RATS will play a part in the election, for sure.
However, I know, just like Nov 2016, God is watching this. A year ago I think God chose Donald Trump. Now, a year later, I think God has chosen Judge Moore.
Trump better hope against hope the bubba factor gets Moore elected. I am probably the biggest Trump supporter you’ll meet, but Trump’s backing of Strange is getting on my last nerve. If Trump enables McConnell to do in AL what the swamp already did in Mississippi, Trump will have harmed himself lastingly and unnecessarily.
