Great catch!I Had to turn the sound off when Jones was on as well all too predictable.
Could someone Puhleeeez accuse Kasick and George Will of sexual harassment so we don’t have to see them on the Sunday shows??????
Great point...I’m waiting to see if Chris Mathews weasels out of his sexual improprieties.
The news media should work to teach us something about what is going on. Tired of the same boring shows, with people who are hired to promote the Democrat or Republican Party.
Not much question about that. He's a lib and will fall in line with the rest of the commiedems.
.................
F.Chuck trying to morph Jones stolen election into a rout next year for the dems. Almost laughable considering who they are.
F.CHuck says dems have reason to be optimistic,what a putz.
Hes an idiot,by next Nov. we will have booming economy people will have more money in their pockets and more and more of the swamp will be drained.Terrorists are on the run and fewer illegals are coming in.
Our biggest problems are those caused by the previous administration
. ....................
Sen. Joe Manchin dodging F.Chucks gotcha questions hoping he can eeek out another victory trying to distance himself from dc people which is who he really is. Manchin desperately trying to thread the needle. Manchin does not want to talk about impeachment,LOL too good!!
Rarely turn on fox anymore, strictly this thread and other posts on FR for real insights. Nice to see our weather start to change back. Hope to see you again this spring or possibly sooner
He is closer to a baseball bat than a female,no luck there. ................ Manchin now thanking Trump for inviting him to the WhiteHouse,has to be pissing F.Chuck off big time.
You are right it is really bad and you can see the Mockingbird influence week after week.
FNC really screwed up by spiking the poll just before the Ala. race,it might not have mattered.AB says pubbies just stayed home and basically gave it to Jones. He's probably right but I still think voter fraud mattered.
Kasick is a big spending lib rino who probably could not get elected anywhere but Ohio.
Did you know his dad was a mailman?
People I know are turning these shows off, the same as they will not watch the NFL. There are people who love Trump and people who hate Trump. I would rather like or dislike Trump on his take on the issues. I do not hate him if I disagree with him or anybody. This all out effort to poison a certain party because of certain issues is insanity. It is an orchestrated effort to keep hate alive. It takes work to rise above all this rhetoric and refuse to waste energy and time on political propaganda.
How do you explain, RG, that Fox came pretty close to getting it right. I believe they were the only poll showing a Jones win....perhaps based upon Republican's plans to stay home.
Same read on vote.
Big write in, and tons of money . Can see the scenario of “I’ll pay you $$ to fill out this pre completed form casting your vote for jones, just sign here and of these for authenticity
Long post, please bear with it!
TL;dr: Moore lost because too many Republicans stayed home. Proof, analysis, etc.
There wasn't an election theft—except 6 weeks ago by the driveby’s. The sex charges did Moore in.
I was supposed to go out to California (right outside Santa Barbara in Carpentaria) the week before last to record videos for LinkedIn. I wasn't going to return until Wednesday past. Because of this I voted absentee, and subsequently my trip was canceled due to the HUGE Thomas wildfires, which are still ongoing.
So on to the election: I speak as a investigative reporter for the Alabama election. Believe me when I say, half the normally reliable Republican voters didn’t turn out. In other words, they stayed home. The charges against Moore were too much.
You know me, and you can trust me. If even a quarter of those who stayed home showed up and voted, we’d be talking about Senator Moore, not Jones.
FORGET about the democrats cheating! Jones got as many votes (almost) as Hillary did last year, which was a spanking for her by Trump, who got 3X as many!!! So, how could they cheat if they didn't even get higher numbers? THEY DIDN'T! They got, at best, the same. We sound like deranged liberals claiming the Russia hacked Trump into the presidency when we talk like this, ignoring all the numbers. AGAIN: How can you cheat when you can't even get to the last election's numbers of democrat voters?
As always I did a get out the vote drive and volunteered to drive people to our local polling station. I did three drives for some older folks when I usually do 10-15.
I know the poll workers. They’re some tough old birds who won’t put up with any irregularities. They actually scan id’s. My first voter was around noon, and at that time she was the 206th voter. Usually by noon on election day there is about 500. My town is about 90% Republican. Not good if they don't vote! I talked to the poll workers the next day at Hardee’s. They said it was a very small turnout.
Multiply this across all the small white towns of Alabama, and you get 50%+ less turnout than a year ago. I say this not to be a racist, but rather to acknowledge the truth. In Alabama, almost every black person votes democrat. 75% of the whites vote Republican. The racial #'s in Alabama are 69% white, and 26% black, and a few % for not white/black. Since whites are the majority, Republican tend to win. The democrats only have a chance if whites stay home. And towards the end, they were really hyping the Moore taken out of context claims about happy people during slavery, for goodness sakes. That caused the huge black vote turnout. However, once again, it was NO BETTER than Hillary's black turnout last year. And she got schlonged!
I think the majority of the no-shows were Church Lady types. Most older people vote (shudder to think what happens when they're all gone!) and I think the girls stayed home more than the boys because in their Christian hearts they had big troubles with sexual harassment, and it is all one hears about lately. They might not tell each other, or even their husbands but they were thinking about this which, IMHO, caused them to find excuses not to vote.
People talk about persons not telling the pollsters the truth if it makes them look stupid (like in their own mind, they're voting for Trump but refuse to say this on the phone to a stranger). Well, this is Alabama. The vast majority are conservative, and have no trouble telling a stranger that. I think many said they were for Moore but already knew they weren't going to vote.
We have to vote like nothing else in the world matters, every. single. time.
Because when we do, we overcome their fraud. Hence Trump.
When we do not, they win, hence Jones.
You know Bray wrote the book on this, and as he says the key is TURNOUT.
Now, we need to leave the Alabama results as they are. I guarantee Jones will be gone in two years. I’m not a bible-thumper (Hell, I’m Catholic) and Moore is a big time Baptist politician, but the driveby’s pierced his following with the sex charges.
What we need to do is double-down, nay, triple-down for the 2018 elections. TURNOUT!!!
How????
Each FReeper must work to get at least five non-FReeper friends to the polls next year. We need to get Jim to authorize a campaign like this as soon as possible.
On phone so it missed. No one is going to check 20,000 of these
More rope .......
