The reason Roy Moore lost was that he was a crappy candidate. I almost didn’t vote because he has been a joke in Alabama since he was a grandstanding demigog in the Etowah County courthouse. Put any decent GOP candidate up in 2020 and Alabama will be back in GOP hands...if McConnell stays out of it.
Standing up for the basic liberties this nation was founded on is not grandstanding.
He did so at a great personal cost which reflects his conviction to do what is right.
He is not a popularity contestant. But some people treat elections that way. It becomes about the chiseled jaw structure of Romney, or the oratory skills of Obama, rather than the content of someone’s character and the vision they have.
When people accept the reality that the modern media has been hijacked by murdering and perverted cultists who have a singular objective of absolute control, including over everyone’s very thoughts, then it follows that becoming a critical thinker is an essential component of regaining the liberties of which we have already been robbed.
That you buy into the narrative tells me that you are very susceptible to groupthink.
If Moore is a weak candidate, fine. If you do not agree with some of his views, fine too. But don’t take the side of the abortionists, anti-Christians, and pro-homosexual crowd and then pretend to an independently thinking conservative. It doesn’t jive.
Moore lost because this wicked generation prefers baby killers and sodomites to lead it more than Christians. And his opponents knew that modern-day, self-identifying Christians are some of the most gullible and easily manipulated demographic segments of the population.
Real conservatives should be commending men like Moore for standing up and fighting for what is right. He should not be stabbed in the back for it.
Sometimes the majority gets it wrong. When twelve spies spied out Canaan, ten reported that Israel could not defeat the inhabitants. Only two had the courage to believe God and do what He told them to do. Those two were the only ones of their generation that got to enter the Promised Land. The rest of the adults wandered in the wilderness and died until a new generation that had courage was ready to do what needed to be done.
I’ve been hearing my whole life, whenever a conservative candidate loses, conservatives need to just be a little bit more moderate. That philosophy pretty much led us to where we are today. And it’s not good.
Would it be better to run someone more charismatic than Moore? Sure. But don’t do it at the cost of conservatism.
Your comments go beyond criticizing his political strategies and methods. You’ve attacked his conservatism in the same manner his leftwing enemies did. If you are a conservative it ought to give you pause anytime you find yourself agreeing with and taking sides with the radical leftists.
