Roy Moore refused to support these Republican candidates [McCain]

A prominent Alabama Republican says he hasn't decided which candidate he will vote for in the general election and he has no plans to endorse either the Republican or the Democrat.

"I'm not taking a side in the Democratic-Republican controversy right now," he said.

Only the Republican candidate in that controversy -- it wasn't Roy Moore he was talking about.

The Republican then, in case you were wondering, was George W. Bush, running against John Kerry in 2004. That year, Alabama voters picked Bush over Kerry almost 2-to-1.

But when asked by a reporter in 2004 whom he planned to vote for, Moore wasn't so decisive. Instead, he was ambivalent.

"I haven't really had any connection with Kerry or Bush personally, other than the party affiliation that I have with the Republican Party," Moore said in 2004.

Maybe it's no big deal that, at one point in his life, Moore wasn't the ardent conservative he purports to be today. Like a lot of Alabama politicians, he had been a Democrat himself before switching to the GOP.

But this indecisiveness -- it lingered another four years, at least. In 2008, he couldn't make up his mind about John McCain or Barack Obama. When a reporter asked, he refused to say which candidate, if either, had won his vote.

Perhaps part of Moore's political identity crisis had to do with his flirtations with the Constitution Party, a flailing and failing third-party. Some of its members courted Moore to run as their candidate.

But in 2006, Moore ran for Alabama governor as a Republican, when he challenged Gov. Bob Riley in the GOP primary.

When Bush came to Alabama to stand beside Riley (who had supported him), Moore blasted the president for trying to interfere in an Alabama election.

Riley won that primary and went on to defeat Democratic nominee Lucy Baxley in the general election, but he didn't do it with Moore's help. Not only did Moore lose that primary, but he was a sore loser, refusing to endorse Riley.

Let me make something clear, I do not believe party loyalty should ever be absolute. If you're voting a straight ticket, you're probably doing something wrong. Just because someone wins your party's nomination, that doesn't mean you're obligated to support them.

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey plans to vote for Roy Moore As nine women and others who were familiar with their stories have come forward to accuse Moore of sexual misconduct and assault, the Alabama GOP has sent a stern warning to its members -- hold the line or risk being kicked out of the party.

"It would be a serious error for any current elected GOP official or candidate to publicly endorse another party's candidate, an independent, a third party or a write-in candidate in the general election as well," Alabama Republican chairwoman Terry Lathan said in a statement earlier this month, although she softened her position when Sen. Richard Shelby told reporters he had voted for a write-in candidate.

I'm not taking a side in the Democratic-Republican controversy right now. Shelby is old enough to belong to the I-don't-give-a-damn-and-I'll-do-what-I-want wing of the party, but others aren't.

In addition to warning public officials about breaking ranks, Lathan has chided Young Republican groups for withdrawing support from Moore, calling them a "miniscule" part of the party that doesn't represent the Alabama GOP's base.

But perhaps no other Alabama official has thrown out her back while twisting in unprecedented acts of political contortionism like Gov. Kay Ivey.

In virtually the same breath, Ivey told the press that she had no reason to doubt Moore's accusers but that she still intended to vote for Moore because he's a Republican.

But here's the thing. If Doug Jones is a baby-killer, then John Kerry and Barack Obama were, too.

But when much more was at stake for the GOP than in this Senate election, and at a time when abortion was more prevalent than it is today, where was Moore?

And all those other factors -- the GOP agenda, tax cuts, immigration -- they were up in the air, too, in 2004, 2006 and 2008.

Kyle Whitmire is the state political columnist for the Alabama Media Group. You can follow his work on Facebook through Reckon by AL.com.

The Birmingham News has been on a rampage against Judge Roy Moore for many years, especially since their alleged lesbian editor took over as the main editor for the 3 largest newspapers in the state of Alabama and Judge Moore came out against sodomite marriage.
I’ve met her and she is VERY butch.

Kyle Whitmire is an effete “columnist” there (though he’s married) and he’s written with more vitriol against Judge Moore than anyone, with the possible exception of John “I forgot I declared bankruptcy and I’ve got a gay brother” Archibald.

They hate Judge Moore and they have made it clear that they do.

Their jobs are also dependent on pleasing their editor. Those 3 papers are owned by Advance and they have laid off over 40% of their employees in the past few years and now only print 3 days a week.

So you have lesbains and leftists calling the shots and maybe a couple of people who are afraid to speak out in fear of losing their jobs.

But this is a hate campaign of the highest order.

LIBERALS are so hysterical after they finally see and understand the their end is near !

Aaron Klein asked:

“The Republicans, McConnell and the establishment are in cahoots with this campaign ? Does that not imply to you that the Republican Party, the Republican establishment, Mitch McConnell could care less about losing a senate seat in Alabama?” “I think that is exactly a good description of what we have before us,” Moore replied. Asked what he believes McConnell is so afraid of when it comes to his candidacy, Moore replied of his candidacy, “I am not your typical Republican.” “Not only do I believe in conservative fiscal issues, but I also believe in moral and conservative social issues. I have stood for religious liberty and religious freedom and these are subjects which Washington not only doesn’t understandbut doesn’t want to hear about.” Moore charged that Washington“would rather stop careers than to hear about God and to understand thatour values and our rights come from God. And the government’s only role isto secure those inalienable rights for us. “They want somebody they can lead … basically, that they could control. Well, I have never been controlled. I do not want to be controlled and I certainly will not be controlled when I come to Washington. I will decide on issues independently by listening to my colleagues, discussing matters with them. I will make up my own mind. I think we need a change in Washington DC.And I will be part of that change.”

It doesn't get any better than JUDGE Roy Moore !

My pleasure .... and you're welcome.

IT’S A FAKE! Analyst Says Judge Roy Moore Signature Inside Gloria Allred Accuser’s Yearbook Was FORGED The sevens in 1977 to the right of “Christmas,” are very different from the sevens in the date (12-22-77) above “Old Hickory House.” “Look at the two versions of the number “7,” tweeted Wictor. “”12-22-77” and “Olde Hickory House” were written by a different person,” he added. Next, [Thomas] Wictor points out “the “R” and “y” in “Roy,”” are not written the same way. The inflection of the “Y” is more pronounced in Moore’ signature as Chief Justice. The “R” is noticeably longer in the signature of Chief Justice, as well. “During his legal career, Judge Moore became the first full-time Deputy District Attorney in Etowah County, Alabama, and served in this position from 1977 until 1982. In 1984, Judge Moore undertook private practice of law in Gadsden, Alabama,” states Moore’s bio on his campaign website. “The accuser to this day calls him the District Attorney. He was NEVER District attorney. He was DEPUTY DA. DDA,” says Wictor. ... "

Interesting revelation about the signature in the yearbook and where it probably came from. Turns out Moore was the judge who ruled against Nelson in her divorce case and the signature is exactly how it was on his ruling - explains the D.A. ( which Nelson has ). Nelson also said she never had contact with him since the "incident"and failed to mention he was the judge in her divorce case.Roy Moore Attorney Demands Gloria Allred Release Original Yearbook, Contends it’s a ‘Fraud’ " ...

The more I search those different spellings of the assistant's name, the more I'm inclined to believe it was Delbra Adams.
