Roy Moore unwilling to concede: ‘It’s not over’
NY Post ^ | December 13, 2017 | 12:10am | David K. Li

Posted on 12/12/2017 9:47:41 PM PST by conservative98

GOP Alabama Senate Candidate Roy Moore refused to concede on Tuesday night and insisted more votes could still swing the race and save him from a stunning defeat to an underdog Democrat.

“When the vote is this close, that it’s not over,” he told supporters in Montgomery at his campaign rally shortly after Democrat Doug Jones already had been declared the winner by multiple news organizations and had given a televised victory speech.

With all precincts reporting, Jones had 49.9 percent and Moore 48.4 percent.

Moore quoted from scripture and told supporters to wait for all votes to come in – including provisional ballots and those cast by overseas military members.

“That’s what we’ve got to do, is wait on God and let this process play out,” Moore said. “But the votes are still coming in and we’re looking at that.”

Ben Shapiro did that with Trump during the campaign and still does that about Trump. He likes Jonah Goldberg. He’s still a Never Trumper at heart.

It’s over.

It is, yes. I'll skip the denial phase and go straight to to let's beat those flaccid donkeys brains in next time cause next is coming faster than you think. This is a WAR. A battle was lost, the war goes on.

Postmortem: Pinging all the party people who's names I can think of right now, missing some FRiends probably. Some of you will not like some or maybe most of what I say. Tell me to screw myself and I will. Hindsight is 20/20.

First I will say to everyone, RELAX. Stress is a GD killer. I wonder how many people with cancer and stuff drop as much because of stress worrying about going broke and leaving their kids as orphans as from the disease itself. The Sun is still rising tomorrow.

Give your fellow freepers a break. Blood is running hot now. I saw people saying awful stuff to each other on the live results thread cause they didn't agree on whether Judge Moore is gangbusters or not or who is more to blame. Chill. Joeblow1942 is not your enemy. No one here (that hasn't gotten the zot) wanted the commie to win. No one here is happy, no one here doesn't want to Make America Great Again. Any disagreement we have on the nitty gritty stuff is trifling.

Now, what went wrong at the polls?

1)Too many Blacks voted. "I'm not racist but" (hahahaha that's what they always say) I'm sorry, I resent the hell out of brainwashed people getting to make decisions that effect my life. Wake the hell up you idiots, Doug Jones isn't gonna do jack to help your squalid communities. Donald Trump could, if you let him.

2)Virtue Signaling Suburban cucks. You guys should be forced to leave your McMansions in LilyWhiteburg and go live in Birmingham. I hope you like taxes cause they probably aren't getting cut now, thanks, losers. I'm not very religious but I think Satan must LOVE Obamacare.

3)Rural turnout, was not as good was it was for DJT. Everyone who stayed home is exactly half as much of a jackhole as someone who voted for Jones.

Speaking of the President, trigger warning, he didn't do enough. Robocalls are swell but he needed to be campaigning IN PERSON with Moore a week ago, 2 weeks ago, 3 weeks ago. His agenda was on the line. Sure the closer to Moore he gets the bigger the "risk" but guess what, the people that hate him already think he and Moore are the same person, they couldn't possibly hate him any more. Once he decided he wasn't gonna try to get Moore out he should have gone ALL IN. Points thought for endorsing Strange in the runoff, I peed all over that but clearly Trump had it right.

I have more lumps of coal to pass out, Governor Ivey, she had the power to DELAY THE ELECTION. It was a no brainier to do so. Move it to the regular primary date next year to ensure high GOP turnout and in the meantime maybe Moore either gets out or gets cleared. Bad no call Governor, very bad.

Not so controversial so far but here's where I might lose some of you, Moore himself.

What did he do? I don't know and I honestly don't care, no virtue signaling from me. I admit I am a selfish man and I care about myself and my country not what did or didn't happen to some chick before I was friggin born (I'm 34). I just want conservative judges confirmed.

He could be totally evil or totally innocent and neither would surprise me. There is certainly a lot of "smoke" there that maybe he's a tad sketchy but I do I really think he did anything so bad? No. He dated some chicks who were biologically and LEGALLY fair game? So what? I might have done the same. That is not pedophilia ladies and germs, that used to be called "the human race" prior to recent morality that says people old enough to reproduce are "children" because after you've been on planet for exactly 18 years something magical happens with regards to whether or not it's creepy to want to have sex with you. If you have a daughter and think he's a creep, I respect that but it's whatevs to me.

Is gonna be charged with some crime? I doubt it. Convicted? I seriously doubt it. They wanted the seat, not "justice". Real sex crimes like Denny Hastert raping boys gets devalued (wrong word but I'm tired) when you start calling a dude and 16 year old female "pedophilia". Give me a break.

Fags and trannies attacking him is really peak PEAK irony. You wanna talk about perverts? Did you see that loser with the lesbian daughter (in her basketball uni because OF COURSE). Sorry pops, your carpet licking spawn is not normal.

Forget the allegations though. Put them aside and pretend they didn't happen cause we're changing gears, he was the weakest candidate we could have run. He's run statewide before and nearly lost. He has said and keeps saying remarkably impolitic STUPID things you would expect from your drunk uncle Billybob at Thanksgiving. I don't doubt at all that his heart is in the right place but damn come on. The most controversial guy in the state, great choice. The man shouldn't have run.

If Mo Brooks was the candidate half of us would have forgotten about the election. He was the other White meat. He was the conservative to take out Strange and then win. I'm proud to have backed him in the initial primary. But he wasn't sexy enough. Sorry but I had to give myself that pat on the back. Bad day.

No Republican seat is 100% safe because we don't have any brainwashed urban imbeciles automatically putting down an R. There was just too much. Even the Washington Generals won a couple when the Globetrotters phoned it in. We need to make smart nomination choices. There are a lot seats we don't have cause we nominated losers and being a crummy candidate is independent of ideology, both wings of the party have produced their prize stink blossoms.

Mitch McConnell and friends, GOP establishment. Scared rabbits some of whom would rather have seen Jones win than have to deal with "guilt by association" and some of whom were on the fence about it. Yall are tearing them a new one. I'm not gonna go apewild but I will add my own specific criticism:

They are such a wonderful evil empire? Where the hell was the vetting? They couldn't unearth this garbage in time to help their boy Luther Strange? WA post had no trouble finding it and sitting on it till the right time but the RINOs found nothing? PATHETIC. And exhibit A as to why some people here give them way too much credit. They aren't evil masterminds they are INCOMPETENT weak-willed little weasels.

Richard Shelby, "former" democrat must not be renominated after screwing over his own state. Not on the team? Take your ball and go home then, or we'll have to cut you.

But before you say you're "done with the GOP" or any of that nonsense I would remind you that seeing more democrat Senators elected cause you're mad about a democrat getting elected is...I think the word is turboretarded.

What should we do now?

HEIDI HEITKAMP! We only have a State Senator running? Is he strong enough? We need to figure that out, if he's not Trump needs to start making phone calls.

Bill Nelson, let's go Governor Scott, time to get in the race. NOW. Not next month, now.

Pawlenty, if that swine Franken doesn't decide to stay now you need to get your butt in that special election buddy. It will take a year but you can cancel out this loss.

Claire McCrapskul, Red Joe Donnelly, Tester, Casey Jr. Stabenow. Pigs up for election in Trump (and MN, almost Trump) states. Time for you scum to go bye bye.

And this fag Jones? Enjoy your 3 years buddy, against a real candidate in 2020 with Trump on the ballot, ha, you're living in an ice castle and come summer you are gonna drown.

In the short term, pigs are gonna be celebrating while they can and passing stuff is gonna be harder. I'm gonna ignore the political news in the next few days cause I don't wanna see (or hear) visual (or aural) diarrhea. So if you guys hear about a development in another race, give me a ping.

A personal note, I'm a big big supporter of the 17th amendment but the legislature would have just reelected Strange, and compared to this, that would have been fantastic. The amendment is remaining, forever, but I'm in a dark enough mood to put that out there.

I won't say anything about the Crimson Tide. I'm not a fan but many of you good people want to see them win and one thing has nothing to do with the other. People who hate my Chicago teams are always saying "Obama's from there!!!", silly and irrelevant and now you know how that feels. Ignore the haters.

Long post, sorry.

If I sound faggy and pompous, just ignore me.

I am done voting GOP, except for Trump.

The Establishment doesn't care about winning and they betray us every chance they can.

When Trump is gone, it will revert back to the Party of Ryan and Bush.

Moore might have been a flawed candidate, but Democrats never cut off their candidates, no matter what they say or do.

Trump with Pelsoi and Schoemer in charge would be useless.

He’s gonna be telling you to vote Republican next year, I’d listen to the man if you really support him.

And now Trump’s next supreme court justice will have to support abortion in order to get passed the RINOs. Strange might have made the difference in ending row v wade.

If you follow that strategy, Trump may have won and may win again, but he is crippled.

He needs the Senate and the House to govern successfully. Which means you need to hold your nose and vote straight ticket GOP!

Especially the Senate. Hold your nose and think Supreme Court!

Maybe it is because people believed him when he said that Mary was 14 when he married Joseph and he always asked their mom’s permission anyway and drew their own conclusions from that. Because why would you doubt if he said it himself.

I will say what lots of people are thinking....

If they rat bastards are going to throw whores and lies at Conservatives, well the Conservatives are going to have to start fighting fire with fire i.e. like Trump did. If they don’t they are 100% finished. The backstabbing pieces of crap on ‘our team’ must be primaried and defeated.

Make no mistake about it, this loss is a disaster. The guy didn’t fight hard enough. He learnt nothing from Trump. True or not, it only makes him look guilty and that has probably sunk him.

How does this guy sit there with a straight face and call on his supporters to “let the process play out” ... after he spent the last weekend before the election traveling to Philadelphia to watch a stupid football game?

To do so in a sanctimonious way, as if they were too righteous to do anything else, is also to take the name of the Lord in vain - to take up the name of Christ as the reason for an act of sin sp that the name of the Lord is defiled.

What these people have done is very, very serious.

They should recount the paper ballots just as a check on the electronic tallies, if it’s the first time the electronic system has been used and there are such anomalous results. Especially if the exit polling contradicts the electronic results as well. Heck, they should be able to just count the number of voter signatures in the vote books and see if they match up to the number of votes in the electronic tally.

Laf, yes, spit out the poison!
When I went to bed late last night after the Jones “I always wanted to win this all my life’ speech, I felt the same way. I was hoping he would demand a recount on such an important election with less than 1 percent between the two. Heck, maybe close enough to be swayed by bad/illegal voting. And like Moore said, still have lots of ballots not counted like the ones from overseas service members.

Clarification:
He = Moore (hopefully demanding a recount)
As if clarification is even needed.

Moore fought - folks didn’t do what the Left did to support their candidate - they threw everything they had and all the money they could come up with because they understood how important the seat was - our side pontificated and sat smugly back because they “just knew” he would prevail....willing to bet that less than 2% of those on FR who supported Moore actually donated to him.
