GOP senator: If Moore wins, more people like Bannon will follow
The Hill ^ | 09/23/2017 | Max Greenwood

Posted on 09/23/2017 3:26:18 PM PDT by ForYourChildren

Sen. Richard Shelby

(R-Ala.) says that a potential victory for Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore in the state's upcoming GOP runoff would prompt anti-establishment Republicans similar to former White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon to "pop out of the woodwork" and sow discord in the 2018 midterm elections.

Shelby, the senior Alabama senator, told The New York Times that if Moore wins the runoff election against Sen. Luther Strange

(R-Ala.) on Tuesday, the Senate seat would become vulnerable to a Democratic challenge.

But if Strange wins, Shelby said, the incumbent would be sure to emerge victorious in the December election.

“If Roy Moore wins, Bannon and all the other of those people will pop out of the woodwork everywhere,” Shelby told the Times.

The President is betting that Strange will vote in lockstep if he saves his career. He already knows Strange is dirty.

Shelby will be almost 90 at the end of his present term (2023). I think he expects he will die in office.

I’m not sure Trump understood that being for Strange is in essence being against Moore. That’s why he said he may have made a mistake, he realized he was opposing his own people.

Good to remember that Trump is not a politician and though he knew some swamp games he’s still got a huge learning curve.

Bogus poll. There is no way 25 to 30% of Republicans will vote for a baby killing democrat in the general election. Either Moore or Strange will be the next US senator from Alabama.

I thought I posted it?

It’s all in the Family of Secrets Bush book, so it’s not “my” theory...

Prescott Bush was Nixon’s patron since his days in the late forties in Whittier, a few years after he was indicted for funding the Nazis, and at the same time Margaret Sanger put his name on as financier for Planned Parenthood. (A tradition that W and Rove have continued through 2012 at least. W Bush funded PParenthood for the full eight years.)

Prescott was point man to get Eisenhower to run for POTUS/Nixon as VP.

What does this mean? It means just as we are seeing in the modern GOPe... they only back guys they can blackmail into doing what they want.

I just wonder what the banksters have on McCain; we probably won’t ever know the whole story about Denny Hastert. Or Trent Lott. Or Boehner. Or Ryan. Though some are guessing about John Roberts’ traitorous cave on Obamacare (what a weird hegelian fake out that was, Roberts giving Obama the stare down at one of the SOTUs and then supporting Ocare? Crisis actors all.)

There is no way Prescott didn’t explain all to his family before he died; or that HW Bush during his time in the CIA in the fifties and early sixties didn’t already know what his dad had on their patsy Nixon.

My guess is the eighteen minutes of tape on a recording system that Nixon didn’t know was there... was some GOPeBush set up. And Nixon pointed out that all the Watergate guys were the same CIA henchmen working on Cuba in JFK’s day.

In any case, this is not “my theory”... any more than the fact that the Hinckleys were in business with the Bush oil businesses (probably both families CIA).

Do the research. But this Mark Felt stuff is nutters.

Yeah. If you look at the end you see they oversanpled women and blacks. That’s why I believe the dem numbers are so high.

But the interesting thing is that even with this skewed poll either Luther Strange or Roy Moore score the same against the dem. Therefore it is a useful poll to counter claims that Strange will win against the dem but Moore would not.

I will say straight up that I deplore the Bush family and wish they had never entered politics. It was Reagan’s greatest error to have chosen GHW Bush over a reliable Conservative like Sen. Paul Laxalt, who’d have made a fine successor as President.

However, some of the stuff here reads as convenient conspiracy material and nuts. When you stated that Prescott Bush was getting revenge on Nixon by the latter not having his son made VP instead of Ford in 1973, it simply defied the bounds of reality, given that Prescott was already dead. I think you attribute way too much pull and power to Prescott.

I’m a lot more troubled by the Bush-Clinton family connections and how much the two of them have been operating together since the drug running out of Mena, AR, in the ‘80s. Either these two families are engaged in willful collusion or they’ve just been blackmailing each other to maintain power for over 3 decades to the detriment of the entire nation and were all set to screw the country in the ‘16 elections via a Hillary-Jeb con job.

Agreeing with you. From what can be read between the lines, Reagan had a skeleton or two in his Hollywood past that was probably foisted upon him with HW VP and no one is talking, even to this day.

At a certain point after Obama was elected, previously ignored conspiratorial ideas started to become believable...

Same moment most of us realized it’s the Uniparty vs common sense conservatives who value US sovereignty w Judeo Christian values.

Praised by Ann Coulter and Ben Carson, Judge Moore is the candidate of choice for Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Phil Robertson, Chuck Norris, James Dobson, Franklin Graham, Mike Huckabee, Louie Gohmert, Sarah Palin, Sebastian Gorka, Steve Bannon, Ben Carson, Louie Gohmert and a hundred other good conservatives.
https://secure.anedot.com/roymooresolutionfund/ca7213df951ff672795ec
But those corrupt, deal-cutting liberal Republicans have their candidate, too, in Luther Strange, a man so thoroughly under Mitch McConnell’s thumb there’s nothing left to see of his Abe Lincoln-sized frame. They are pulling out all the stops to try to drag their corrupt lobbyist across the line first. Right now their candidate is losing in every poll, thank God above, but the lead has withered to within the margin of error.

Unless you’ve been under a rock for the past six months, you’re aware that Alabama is once again the site of a civil war. This time it is a fight for the soul of the Republican Party, and it is being played out in the run-off primary election between conservative jurist Roy Moore and scandal-plagued Washington lobbyist Luther Strange.

It’s a war between the corrupt old guard of the party controlled by Mitch McConnell and his ilk, and the conservative voters who SHOULD be in control of the party.

The voters who time after time vote for politicians who campaign as conservatives, then govern as gutless liberals, breaking every promise they ever made, offering one excuse after another for why they didn’t do what they said they would, whether that is repeal Obamacare, build the Wall, or defund Planned Parenthood.

In Judge Roy Moore, those conservative voters finally have a candidate who they know won’t compromise his values to save his job, because he has already twice lost his job for refusing to compromise his values.
If you believe in him as well, please make one final donation to this effort as we near the end of this race. https://secure.anedot.com/roymooresolutionfund/ca7213df951ff672795ec

The other meme I've observed to be increasing in usage, especially when referring to hero helpers from Harvey and Irma, is "ordinary Americans."

I presume this is meant to set us apart (and beneath) the coastal media and DC elites.
