'Ten Commandments judge' won't rule out challenge to Bush

Ping. Enjoy.

What you said.

If Moore runs against Bush THIS YEAR he will prove just what I've been saying all along: that his Ten Commandments stunt was just a way to get into politics and further his political career.

For those folks who think this is some kind of "principled" man, just watch what he does over the next few months.

I will vote for any candidate who runs on this platform: "The 16th Amendment was legitimately ratified by only 24 states. The certification of its ratification by the Secretary of State in 1912 was fraudulent. Therefore my first act as President will be an Executive Order directing the Secretary of State to de-certify the ratification of the 16th Amendment."

Are you trying to start trouble or something? ;-)

I really enjoy all the talk of getting him on the SCOTUS. First, there is all this talk of him being a "great judge" - coming from people who I doubt could list more than one decision he authored as CJ of the 'Bama Supreme Court. What makes him a "great judge"? The 10C fight?

In addition, what President in their right mind is going to nominate someone who is so careless in what he says that he will completely alienate a segment of the electorate? Given that Moore doesn't think Hinduism or Buddhism are "religions," it would be interesting to see what his nomination would do to the Indian-American vote or the Asian-American vote. Not to mention the fact that Moore's televangelist backers all openly espouse that, in the endtimes that are most surely upon us, all of the Jews must either convert or die.

If he tried his hand at national politics, it would only be a matter of time before Rove and the GOP operatives tried to frag him the same way his troops in Nam did.

Actually, Richard Shelby is the one who needs to be nervous...

Oh, c'mon, I'm sure he just meant that they're not real religions. ;-)

I'm just getting a bit sick and tired of people willing to abandon American national security during time of war.

We have to be careful not to think that George Bush is the only human being on the face of the planet who could and would pursue the war successfully.

I can think of half a dozen people who I would trust to continue fighting the war.

Does anyone here know Judge Moore's position on it?

[lugsoul]

Actually, he just says they are not "religions" for purposes of the 1st Amendment. They may be "religions" for some purposes, but not for legal protection.

[zook]

That's alright. It's a message worth seeing twice.

[Scenic Sounds]

Does anyone here know Judge Moore's position on it?

I don't know his position on the war and I'm not sure he's ever had to give it a lot of thought.

I do think that a guy like him could cause a lot of trouble were he to launch a third party Presidential crusade, though. I doubt that it would be his position on the war that would make him unelectable nationally. I think what would doom him would be nagging questions like how he might feel about even married people having sex with the light on.

Actually, he just says they are not "religions" for purposes of the 1st Amendment. They may be "religions" for some purposes, but not for legal protection.

He's not one of those "strict construction" types, I guess.

[lugsoul]

He is, as long as you're talking about the KJV. Everything else must be read in that context.

" and at best, can only siphon enough voters for a Democrat to win the election"

Are you suggesting that the votes the judge might earn are actually the property of one of the majority parties?

Just wondering..........

[DameAutour]

I think it would be great if Judge Moore could get on the Supreme Court.

Unfortunately, as I said in my post, I doubt he'd make it through Congress. I think Congress is a bigger problem than Bush, when it comes to getting conservative judges. They're filibustering the best judges, and this judge has already caused a lot of controversy. I think it is highly unlikely that he'd make it past the CINOS, much less the democrats. They need more conservatives in Congress for someone like Moore to be appointed.

[DameAutour]

Are you suggesting that the votes the judge might earn are actually the property of one of the majority parties?

I am suggesting that if Roy Moore makes a significant showing in the general election, many of the votes he receives would have gone to Bush. A few of them would have voted for some other third party candidate, and some may not have voted at all. But if he gets anything above 1%, then a lot of them would have voted for the Republican candidate, in this case, Bush.

I am not saying if that is a good thing or a bad thing, although the owner of this website has made it clear that this website will not support anyone who would work to get a Democrat in the White House. Unless those who vote for Roy Moore are doing so because they want him to win (and not to send a message), then they are working to put a Democrat in the White House. UNLESS, they're in a state that is very solidly Republican, and that's pretty shaky. If you don't want an Extreme-Socialist Democrat in the White House, this election is too risky to vote for anyone other than Bush. If you don't think having a Democrat is worse than Bush, then that's on you. I don't tell anyone how to vote.

Yes, I actually believe it. Roy Moore has to win exactly ONE conservative state to throw the Presidential election to Congress. He has already won a statewide race in Alabama and W has been urinating on his base for some time now. W would have to run a national campaign. Moore could focus all his resources in the three or four states where he has the best chance to win.

It absolutely could happen. Once it goes to Congress, it is entirely possible that vengance-minded Democrats would vote with a handfull of disaffected Conservative Congressmen to award Moore the Presidency.

Once people realize that they only have to propel Moore to victory in one state in order to give him a shot at it, his odds go WAY up. It really is not that hard to understand.
