NRSC Stands Firm Against Moore
Townhall.com ^ | December 8, 2017 | Leah Barkoukis

Even as some members of the GOP have softened their position against Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore ahead of Tuesday’s special election, the National Republican Senatorial Committee is standing firm in its opposition to the judge. 

“Roy Moore will never have the support of the senatorial committee. We will never endorse him. We won’t support him,” Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner, chairman of the NRSC, told The Weekly Standard. “I won’t let that happen. Nothing will change. I stand by my previous statement.”

Gardner’s comments come days after President Trump endorsed Moore and the Republican National Committee decided to support him once again.

The RNC had cut ties with the Senate candidate after allegations initially surfaced of Moore’s sexual misconduct with underage girls when he was in his 30s.

In commenting on Trump’s decision to support Moore, Gardner told TWS, “We’ve taken a different position. I think our position is right.”

The president's reasons had to do with preventing the seat from going to a Democrat who would oppose the GOP agenda.

“Democrats refusal to give even one vote for massive Tax Cuts is why we need Republican Roy Moore to win in Alabama. We need his vote on stopping crime, illegal immigration, Border Wall, Military, Pro Life, V.A., Judges 2nd Amendment and more. No to Jones, a Pelosi/Schumer Puppet!” he tweeted Tuesday.

“Putting Pelosi/Schumer Liberal Puppet Jones into office in Alabama would hurt our great Republican Agenda of low on taxes, tough on crime, strong on military and borders...& so much more. Look at your 401-k’s since Election. Highest Stock Market EVER! Jobs are roaring back!” he added.

Other Republicans, including Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, have changed their tune a bit, arguing now that Alabama voters should “make the call” on Moore. He has argued, however, that should Moore win, he will “immediately” face a Senate Ethics Committee probe.

It’s entirely up to the voters of Alabama if they want Roy Moore in the Senate or not.

....and the Republican party continues its slow spiral down the toilet. Cory Garner is a Judas to all conservatives.

Guess they think they are as pure as snow. There are not very many senators that I would trust to hold my wallet let alone on the issue of sexual morality.

Who cares, his vote will still count as much as yours. The trouble with elites is their belief that we are all equal citizens, some of us more (or should be more).

That’s OK. Moore will be happy to support the Constitution and represent Alabama. That’s the job, you know. Not changing to be part of the club once elected.

Again, reminds me of the old guard of the Soviet Union at about this time 30 years ago, trying to hold onto a system that was collapsing under it’s own contradictions and corruption and also basically bankrupt.

Good, bring it on @sshole.

This battle will be the GOPe and McConnell's Waterloo.

Until now, their $$ has been the defining force and source of their muscle, but there's a new game now, its called the internet.

Get ready for the gates of hell to open on your head Gardner, and don't look to uncle turtle to bail you out, he'll be hiding.

should Moore win, he will “immediately” face a Senate Ethics Committee probe.

And Senator Moore will immediately DEMAND that these Accusers and Gloria Allred Testify under OATH and Produce the Yearbook for forensic examination.

The hearing will be over before it starts.

Trump should set up parallel organizations to the RNC, NRSC, etc, dedicated to electing Deplorables to the House and Senate.

Tell them you're glad they called, and do they have the number for Roy Moore's campaign office.

Here is a background on 5 accusers. One works for the perverts that one knows the one who claimed she was 14*. But was actually 16 at the time ?
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3603606/posts Restaurant rape attempt accusation disproven http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3607731/posts
Alred charge : Grad book signature a forgery; http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3604591/posts link shows someone named Roy or Ray signed it.Then Moore’s last name was added to it in a blue colored ink. His legal secretary at the time he was a Circuit Court Judge declared it a forgery because her initials; DA, appeared with his signature in that year book. Because she would verify his signature Moore / DA /date only on his court rulings .Which is what that forgery was copied from .http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3608349/posts
It’s been reported that CNN reproduced and showed the page in question in one colored ink; black.

Disciplined ex Gasden police officer Lt Gary accusation claiming that Moore was banned from a local shopping center for skirt chasing cheerleaders and other charges were politically motivated and are lies.

The GOP is run by fear of the media. Trump is despised by both sides because he refuses to be.
