Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore Holds Lead in U.S. Senate Race

MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore holds the lead in the race for the United States Senate, polls show.

According to Politico, Moore currently has 31 percent of the vote in a field of almost a dozen Republican primary candidates. Next in line is sitting Sen. Luther Strange, who formerly served as Alabama attorney general, at 23 percent of the vote. U.S. Rep. Mo Brooks holds 21 percent of the vote, while all other candidates generated less than 5 percent public support.

“With roughly six weeks to go until Election Day, we must work even harder than we have to get to this point,” Moore’s campaign wrote on his Facebook page on Thursday.

According to the Montgomery Advisor, Moore spoke before the River Region Republicans on Tuesday and reiterated his belief that the nation needs to return to the original intent of its founders.

“We’ve got to go back to principles,” he stated to those present at the Farmers Market. “Our liberties are being taken. If we don’t go back to principles, we’re not going to just lose the Republican Party, we’re going to lose our country.”

Among Moore’s return to roots is the restoration of states’ rights, including when it comes to health care. He outlined his belief that Obamacare should be repealed altogether and that insurance should be allowed to be sold across state lines, opening up competition.

What Justice Moore really gets is that under the Constitution, the judiciary is not the supreme ruler of the country. The courts only have power to decide "cases and controversies," not to make, modify or repeal laws.

Looking good.
A former Alabama Republican Party Chairman is the chairman of Roy Moore’s campaign for the U.S. Senate!

Now, if the media will just ‘protect’ him in the primary thinking he’d be the easiest for a Dem to beat... his God fearing voice just may make it to the Senate.

Judge Moore was born February 11, 1947. It’s time for him to enjoy
retirement and promote leaders to carry on the party in Alabama.

Read my mind. Unfortunately Miss. has been run by the haley barbour mob for years. Let’s hope that MISS and ALa. can get rid of these deep state criminals once and for all.

Just read this:

The final approval authorizes the National Republican Senatorial Committee to spend over $350,000 of the RNC’s money on the race. Those funds are expected to be invested on behalf of recently appointed GOP Sen. Luther Strange, who is facing a crowded field of Republican opponents, including GOP Rep. Mo Brooks and former Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Roy Moore, in a late summer primary.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has given Strange his support, as have two McConnell-allied political groups — the NRSC and Senate Leadership Fund. Both are boosting Strange.

I agree he shouldn’t be running. I also didn’t agree with his stance on not removing the monument even I did feel it was a wrong decision. That is lawlessness and when a higher court serves him in a lower court a ruling then he must abide by it otherwise it creates anarchy. He paid the consequences in the end. If he wanted to take a stand he should have resigned his position behind his morals. You don’t get to pick and choose which decisions you stand behind and which you don’t.

It’s even worse:
http://www.al.com/news/index.ssf/2017/06/super_pacs_backing_luther_stra.html

“Two groups connected to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell have bought a combined $2.4 million in ads buys blanketing Alabama television and radio stations with ads supporting Sen. Luther Strange... “

Judge Roy Moore is a personal hero of mine. I would love to see him as a scotus chief justice, but he’s probably too old now.

Now that Moore is in the lead, watch the Dems and or GOPe coalesce around whichever candidate is not Roy Moore.
