United States Senate hopeful Roy Moore today is making his first public appearance Saturday after allegations broke Thursday the former Alabama Supreme Court Cheif Justice inappropriately touched a then 14-year-old girl several decades ago.

Moore is at the Mid-Alabama Republican Club around 8:30 a.m. Saturday as about a dozen protesters gathered outside. He declined to answer reporters' questions as he entered the building.

Anybody who doesn’t think that the slow deliberate coup d’etat being run by the left is over better wake up and smell the Kauphy!

“Let’s hope the allegations are false and that Judge Moore does not cave to the left, but in most cases when a Republican under fire says he won’t quit the race in question, he does quit a few days later.”

I’m waiting to see if he really does hang in there; if he does, I’ll be making a large donation to his campaign.

Obviously not. They want to make sure everyone who disagrees with them holds no office, cannot launch a platform, and cannot have a job.

Well, "them" is every one of millions of registered "R" voters in the US. Most are not RINOs and most strongly approve of their platforms. At least they know what they believe in.

Every word in any RAT platform is a lie, and the Libertarian platform represents drug-addled, faggot-loving, baby-killers (who want smaller government).

The Libertarians hold few elected offices, and no majorities, or even significant minorities, that I'm aware of. Any "third party" after that is even more marginal.

Regarding your past stated positions, I seriously doubt you would accept "association" with either of those groups.

I have no need or use for them, and I do not wish for their company.

That's crazy talk. Other than some very minor players, (Constitution party, Taxpayers party) nobody else speaks your language. You truly would be alone.

Last nite on the Laura Ingram show she had an Alabama state govt official explain, among other options, that there would be a special election if Moore drops out and the current acting senator will remain in place. I see it probable that Judge Moore will be elected and the foolhardy uniparty senate members be persuaded, as in coerced if not willing, to not allow him to be seated. That would place the Alabama senate seat back to the state governor for replacement. I do think that this type of action by a uniparty senate will be terribly bad for the Republicans involved when they come up for reelection. There must be any number of elected representatives who can be smeared by allegations of decades old, real or fabricated, tales of sex, racial, etc, inappropriate behavior. Going against the will of the voters has not been a good strategy for the GOPe but does not seem to bother them all that much. I hope that Alabama elects Judge Moore and makes the GOPe put up or shut up as to where their loyalty really lies. In support of my conviction that this attempt to take out Judge Moore is politically motivated, no proof or verifiable facts given, to obstruct the will of the Alabama voters, I have sent a donation to the Judge Moore campaign.

Allegations not facts wait 30 years to come to light smells a lot like democrats work.

[I want the USA back]

Typical communist tactics. May they suffer the same fate as lenin.

Nice spelling on the ‘pedAphile’ sign.

As hung over as they look I'm sure there was a lot of drinking at the sign party the night before.

[\/\/ayne]

I checked in momentarily as I often do to liberals and NeverTrumpers for a few minutes to pick up a sense of what they are saying. Mark Levin was doing a pretty good job of defending Judge Moore so I’ll say that for him.

Herman Cain

Clarence Thomas

That's all I need to remember--never give up...

> smells a lot like democrats work. <

Smells to me like Mitch McConnell hired Haley Barber again through attorney cutouts and third party opposition research firms. Mitch has money, motive, and no morals.

Remember Mississippi.

[Vaduz]

McConnell just one of the swamp lords the next two elections will tell if we live of live on our knees time to take the country back.

[Vermont Lt]

Too bad he is not running in the Northeast. Its too cold for protesters. Or anyone else, for that matter.

[chris37]

No, I am not talking about the base, I’m talking about the elected members of the party. I don’t have anything against the base. We’ve all been fooled by professional liars.

“You truly would be alone.”

Wrong.

I am never alone. I have my German Shepherds and Jesus Christ.

>>God bless Judge Roy Moore! Onward to your Senate seat Judge Moore.<<

And to help him get there, I just contributed $100 to his campaign. Regarding the scurrilous accusations BOUGHT by the Washington Compost, we up here in the mountains of western Maryland know bullsh*t when we hear it, and that’s exactly what the accusations against him are.

[Stingray51]

“Moore should step aside for the sake of the country.”

Shame on you for dancing to the tune of your RINO Establishment masters.

[DoodleDawg]

He's going to win and force the GOP-led Senate to expel him.

They won't expel him. They'll just marginalize him and ignore him.
