I like Roy Moore but, I think that he brings unnecessary political baggage with him. The Democrats and their “traitor” media will never let up on him, no matter how correct and legal he was in his judicial actions. In addition, Mo Brooks is a strong Trump backer, a staunch conservative and, is well respected across the board.
Remember, if no candidate in the Alabama primary receives more the 50% of the votes cast next week, the primary election goes to a runoff!!!
Oh, Moore would be okay for a lot of things, but I’m not sure his position is a place to press for a reprise of the unique Mosaic Law on a people who isn’t even ready.
That’s why Christ died. So that sad sacks might be saved which the law could only utterly damn. God had a heart. He didn’t see any other route to success. Even the holiest laws fell flat.
I keep on thinking about this theologically because ultimately that’s what makes history go. God proposes, man counter-proposes (being sinners they never will get everything right on earth), and God disposes.
“Remember, if no candidate in the Alabama primary receives more the 50% of the votes cast next week, the primary election goes to a runoff!!!”
Yes, and from the polling I’ve seen, Moore is the only one that is anywhere near close enough to 50% to win. A question: Is Alabama like Mississippi where RATs can crossover vote in the runoff? Because if it is, the GOPe will do everything they can to make sure it’s a Brooks or Moore vs. Strange runoff it at all possible. So at the very least, Moore and Brooks need to be the two in the runoff, so the GOPe has no horse in the race, although I just imagine that their fall-back position would be to back Brooks.
I was going to vote for Moe, but now I’m changing to Roy.
I think Roy is a guy we need, much like Trump. I didn’t think Trump should have been the nominee, but after the Mexican Wall and McCain smack-downs in 2015, I realized he was JUST what we needed: A fighter.
I see Moore in the same light now.
No more pleasant speaking milque toasts. Hoary, in-your-face, fire-spittin’ fighters are what we need!
As far as Alabama goes, the media can bring up any controversy they want, but Alabamians generally go the OPPOSITE way the media calls things.
In other words, Moore is well-known, so there really is nothing new they can bring up on him we haven’t heard already. Kind of like Trump.
“I like Roy Moore but, I think that he brings unnecessary political baggage with him.”
So being a man who loves his God and respects His teachings is called “unnecessary baggage” in your mind? Mo Brooks may be a good and decent man, and if he wins, good on Alabama. But to say because Moore has stood up for his Christian beliefs more than once, is a reason to discount his candidacy is sad. I just hope that the GOPe doesn’t “win” with Luther Strange.
