'I think the turnout is going to be larger FOR Roy Moore' (trunc)
Daily Mail ^ | Nov 11, 2017 | Keith Griffith

Republican officials in Alabama are doubling down on Senate candidate Roy Moore in spite of accusations that he dated teen girls in his 30s, as a photo has emerged of one accuser working at a Hillary Clinton campaign event. Moore has vehemently denied a bombshell Washington Post report detailing claims from several women that he dated them in the 1970s, including one who was 14 at the time. While the GOP establishment moved quickly to cut ties with insurgent candidate Moore, who was heavily backed by President Donald Trump's strategist Steve Bannon, local party officials were not so skittish. 'I think it's going to affect the turnout — I think the turnout is going to be larger for Roy Moore,' Calhoun County Republican Party Chairman James Bennett told the Montgomery Advertiser.

'I got more calls yesterday for Roy Moore signs than I have since the primary,' Bennett said. 'I think (Moore supporters) are very skeptical of the reporting four weeks before the election. They’re going to withhold their judgment, but they’re not going to withhold their vote.'

Other Alabama Republicans said they suspected the allegations stemmed from the Washington establishment, in a desperate attempt to keep outsider candidate Moore from reaching DC.

'I mean, how do you react to an allegation that supposedly happened 38 years ago?' Republican State Sentator Dick Brewbaker told Alabama Public Radio. 'I do not buy the idea that suddenly because it's now the US Senate, she felt like she had to come forward. I mean, come on.'

The local support for Moore stood in stark contrast to the reaction from the GOP establishment, after Senate Republicans cut fundraising ties with the candidate on Friday.

The next step for the GOPe and the MSM is to begin releasing polls showing Moore tanking. They are so predictable...

The poster said there are only three options. I suggested a fourth. What did Emmanuel say about taking advantage of a crisis?

Didn’t Clinton give a speech where it was actually a green screen with a photo shopped audience behind her? It was viewed and people were seen from an earlier speech in the gallery. Was this it?

And that is the disconnect we have been talking about for years. This leftist media/Dim/Big Government Republican dirty trick has only increased my support for Moore.

Isn’t that what dems said about Clinton’s accusers..They were in the clutches of the conservatives and couldn’t be trusted.

“The fact that the woman was deliberately in the same room as the Grand High B!tch automatically disqualifies her as a credible source for ANYTHING she might say, including whether day is light and night’s dark.”

Yes. If she is signing for Hellary, then she is making the same lies in sign language that Hellary is throwing out. This woman is not truthful.

...why is she standing, in the audience with her back to Hillary? Interpreters are usually on stage next to the speaker.

I'm a sign language interpreter and it's not unusual. At some events the deaf attendees will be grouped in one section and the interpreter will stand near them. Back to the speaker? Yup, most of the time.

The “older” man had established himself in career/business and had the resources to support a wife and family; while the “younger” woman was capable of producing viable offspring and surviving the rigors of pregnancy.


This is cute, But no. After working for eHarmony for 3 years, I can state today, men want women who much younger and women want men with money for one reason. Men want young tail and women $$$. Oldest profession disguised as marriage.

The Washington Post, The Democrat Party and, most importantly the Mitch McConnell, Republican Establishment, RINOs that so furiously & instantly, lashed out at Judge, Roy Moore, the entire state of Alabama & all the people that reside there, making a massive political mistake in their process, IMHO.

I know the folks in Alabama quite well and, they take these actions by the Washington Swamp creatures as a personal insult. I also predict that Judge Moore will win a landslide victory on December 12, 2017, and become the next elected USA Senator, representing the state of Alabama.

The idiocy of the sexual assaults alleged to have happened some thirty or forty years ago, mean nothing. At best they can be rendered as a “She said, He said” showboat of nothings. Who cares?

Like the now disgrace “Ed Gillespie”, Mitch McConnell “engineered massive, Hate/Avoid, POTUS, Donald J. Trump” loss by Ed Gillespie in the recent Virginia Governor election, some 700,000 Trump voters stayed home and did not vote for Gillespie because he gave the “cold shoulder” to POTUS, DJT.

Bottom Line: Judge Roy Moore wins with ease, hands down!!! End of story!!!

Where on FB did you read this stuff? Thanks in advance.

Also, I don’t give a damn about these accusations - true OR false. If I was in Alabama I’d vote for him. Let the swamp know who is in charge.

“If I were an Alabaman, I’d be apocalyptic.”

(Buzz! Buzz! Grammar nazi alert!)

Surely you must mean “apoplectic”. You do, don’t you, Shirley?

If that happens, and Moore wins a huge libel suit against WaPo for offering bribes to people so they would lie for them (especially if criminal charges are prosecuted and won as well), this kind of crap might stop.

Go Alabama! The rest of the country needs you! Time to flip the bird at the media, the GOP-e, and the liars (but I repeat myself)!
