I don't dispute that, but a guy who burned so many bridges with the Republican Party in Alabama has no business complaining when they actively work to undermine his campaign.

From what I have been hearing from various Alabamians, there is a lot of rot in the party that needed to be challenged. Moore strikes me as being a true believer "religious nut" who would not bargain or compromise, and as such this makes him anathema to those who want to compromise. I think we need fewer compromisers, and more absolutists.

If Moore was an abrasive jerk during his political career, then he should sleep in the bed he made.

I think "abrasive jerk" is less problematic than "liberal Democrat". I also think people should not urge other people to vote against someone in their own party on the basis of unproven and likely unprovable allegations from a Democrat hit team.

I think the party establishment types did not give a rat's @$$ about the actual accusations, and only saw them as a means to stop someone they didn't want anyways because he wouldn't compromise.

At a time when it's absolutely necessary to overturn existing legislation from the prior administration, anyone who refuses to compromise has no business running for a legislative office in Washington. Every principled stand some jerk from a small state takes against an imperfect bill doesn't mean a bad law gets stopped ... it means a worse law stays in place.

This is exactly why ObamaCare is still the law of the land.

I've said this before, and I'll say it again. A principled man like Roy Moore would have been much more effective in a judicial role where he didn't have to work with a group of legislators to get bills passed.
