Fish, I believe Dolly Parton was sandbagged by Fonda and Tomlin, and had no idea they were going to do what they did. When I watched the clip of that stunt she seemed surprised and uncomfortable. And, she pointedly did not join in and add her voice to their diatribe.

I saw Dolly's surprise and yes, I think she was hijacked.

But she never came out anywhere, not on INSIDE EDITION, not on THE VIEW....not even at DOLLYWOOD, and disavowed any intent to participate in that awful display, did she?

Her little surprise gasp isn't good enough for me.

Also, while I'm at it, I did some investigating of this Moore guy versus Luther Strange

....talk about going off on a tangent.

I am sure that Roy Moore is a religious and good man but he just doesn't strike me as what the Republican party needs right now.

And I know that Mumbles McConnell supports Strange, thus so does Trump to curry favor with Mitch.

Given that very conservative district, I am quite sure that Luther Strange will not turn into a GOP establishment type. Sure, Roy Moore wouldn't either but he goes out in public and calls homosexuals names and tends to overplay the religious aspect.

Now y'all might disagree with me and hey, I could be wrong. Been known to happen.

But I do not think we need Roy Moore yet to replace Jeff Sessions or even in the Republican party just yet.

Bear in mind, if Moore wins I will support with wide smiles on my face.

For now I'm rooting for Luther Strange.

I agree with your analysis. You are spot on.

Good morning, dear Fish!

“I am quite sure that Luther Strange will not turn into a GOP establishment type.”

LS IS GOPe! Former governor Bentley appointed Strange, at the time our state’s Attorney General, to the Sessions’ Senate seat. Shortly thereafter, the legislature suspended impeachment proceedings against Bentley, who subsequently resigned. (This article provides a summary: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2017/02/the-curious-appointment-of-senator-luther-strange/516153/)

I do not “like” Moore either. However, he has stood up for our “state’s rights” and Judeo-Christian values.

Sincerely,

I do not understand you - in posts today you are calling for Leaders, and yet a Constitutionalist like Roy Moore is not an option for you??
