Senate Republicans on Monday signaled that they will do whatever it takes to prevent Roy Moore from becoming the next senator from Alabama, though hopefully without letting the seat fall into Democratic hands.

(R-Ky.) called on Moore to withdraw from the Senate race and said he believes the women who are accusing the former judge of sexual misconduct.

Sen. Cory Gardner

(R-Colo.), the leader of the campaign arm of Senate Republicans, went one step further, urging his colleagues to expel Moore from the Senate should he win the special election on Dec. 12.

If he wins, he must be seated.

But could be expelled with 2/3 vote in Senate.

I’m already over the GOP and fake conservatives like Cruz.

The Republican’ts may block Moore. They were certainly effective in helping to keep TParty Christine O’Donnell from the Senatorial seat in her Delaware contest with Christopher Coons for the special election to fill Biden’s vacated seat, thus keeping the state solidly liberal (and homophyllic) in its federal representation.

“Moore certainly has all the right enemies.”

True.

Moore must be very good if the GOPe is going this far. I don’t believe any of these allegations.

I’ve never been so disappointed in being a republican.

I’ve got jury duty this week and since I’ll already be at the courthouse am considering changing to Independent. Will look into it.

I came across a comment on another site that suggested if Moore is elected that he should change to an independent. Wondering if there would be any value in that for him.

The idiots are self identifying themselves.

And over playing their hand - telling the people who they can't vote for - sure that is going to go over well - especially once the stories get debunked and the credibility is gone.

I know very little about Judge Moore and I can't vote in the election but I do know what a smear job looks like and this one smells of desperation. Jeb! Ted, Mitch, New Yorker, Wapo, NYT and Laura Ingram - phonies. Phonies got to fake.

To bad there wasn't this type of attention on what happened in Las Vegas - Move On nothing to see there - look over there squirrel!

Maybe Obama will say something that will help cement Judge Moores election.

Whatever you do judge don't drop out. The truth will come out you have to survive the first 12 days.

If Abe Lincoln were around today I suspect he’d be considering switching to Independent...

"And don’t forget many of the republicans support the accused democrat (e.g., Mendez, clinton, Kennedy ......) as well."

McConnell and Ryan have been DEAD SILENT about the Obama administrations' corruption and abuses of power as well as all of the Clintons' shenanigans. Never a frikkin' word from eGOP leadership about any of that. But they'll rubber stamp any and all allegations against a true conservative just to keep him or her from threatening their progressive, globalist agenda.

Don’t throw stones at glass houses.

Bush 31 accused of assaulting 16 yr old in 2003
http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/13/politics/george-hw-bush-groping-allegation/index.html

Being ignored by LSM, as as Mendez (D) over a non incident 40+yrs ago that would/should have been brought froward, when Moore was running against Toxic Mitch’s pet poodle. GOPe establishment can’t stand to have a Constitutional, Conservative, Real Christian in the US Senate, it would upset their RINO balance.

I did not mean they couldn’t do it legally. I meant only that I don’t think there would be enough voting against him to get the necessary vote. I don’t think they’d have the guts to tell Alabama voters they can’t elect the senator of their choice. Particularly in this age of blatant election fixing.
