Roy Moore is an embarrassment. Doug Jones deserves to win. (George Will)
Washington Compost ^ | 11/13/17 | George Will

Posted on 11/13/2017 5:37:53 PM PST by Angels27

But for the bomb, the four would be in their 60s, probably grandmothers. Three were 14 and one was 11 in 1963 when the blast killed them in the 16th Street Baptist Church, which is four blocks from the law office of Doug Jones, who then was 9. He was born in May 1954, 13 days before the U.S. Supreme Court’s Brown v. Board of Education school desegregation decision. He was 16 when he attended, at this city’s Legion Field, the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. the University of Southern California Trojans football game in which USC’s Sam Cunningham, an African American all-American, led a 42-21 thumping of the home team, thereby (so goes the much-embellished but true-enough story) advancing the integration of the region through its cultural pulse, college football. Roll Tide.

As a second-year law student, Jones cut classes to attend the 1977 trial of one of the church bombers, Robert “Dynamite Bob” Chambliss. In 2001 and 2002, as U.S. attorney, Jones successfully prosecuted two other bombers. Was there resentment about this protracted pursuit of justice? No, he says as he nurses with tea a voice raspy from campaigning, because after 9/11 intervened, punishing domestic terrorism was not controversial. Today, this son of a steelworker stands between Roy Moore — an Elmer Gantry mixing piety and cupidity: He and his family have done well financially running a foundation — and the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Jeff Sessions.

George Will maintained that Hillary Clinton deserved to win and that Donald Trump deserved to lose all fifty states.

Yes, like President Trump, Moore has all the right enemies.

this “has been” was destroyed by his own hand on Fox. He was exposed as a liberal in conservative clothing. He is now dispised and repulsive to real Trumpian conservatives who now and will in the future RULE! GTH Wills

“...In my view, most Republicans are lower than Democrats now....”

It’s rather fascinating to watch my fellow freepers “discover” the UniParty.
The “two-party” system is all a facade and show for the tax-paying “unwashed masses”. In reality, there is only one party; the UniParty. It’s been that way for quite a while now.

Moore should use this, “Send WASHINGTON a message!”

The fact the liberal eastern newspapers and RINO establishment types are all against him, that’ll play well in Alabama.

He - like Trump - is a middle finger to the establishment vote.

As long as George Wills is against Judge Moore I feel really good about Moore, This article bolsters my love of judge Moore and all he stands tall for and convinces me he will will in a landslide because the people of Alabama hate the GOPe attempt to smear this great man with paid off political whores!!

What bothers me the most about all of this is the real trend that shows the the ruling class will no longer accept the results of elections unless it is a person of their choosing.

This means that we may be too late to save this ship without extraordinary means.

“The sexual allegations are the GOP(e)’s way of saying, “Primary challenger, beware. We will do this to you too!””

It’s time that the Bannon Opposition Research Group start to dig up $hit on “every member of the Senate, both RAT and RINO!” Then round up and vet some good Conservative replacements who have clean backgrounds. Once that’s done, start leaking the $hit to the current members and see which one’s go voluntarily. I’d like to see a blood bath in the RINO ranks. And while he’s at it, take a special look at Kevin McCarthy. Maybe they can find some really solid evidence that he’s been banging Renee Elmers while his wife sits home.
The RATs and RINOs started this fight, now it’s long past time to take it to each and every one of them.

George Will raped my sister when she was 14, 46 years ago. It’s true. She was afraid to speak up until now.

Women don’t lie about these things.

It is the people of Alabama, and they alone, that will determine whether Judge Moore is fit to be Senator and not the powdered poofs in DC.

I will trust that after 40 years of service in their state they know the man.

I’d rather have a guy that kissed a girl 40 years ago than a guy who thinks it’s ok to kill babies.

The accusations have EVERYTHING to do with Republican Senators facing potential primary opponents for 2018. The sexual allegations are the GOP(e)’s way of saying, “Primary challenger, beware. We will do this to you too!”

Out of 33 Senate Races in 2018, 23 are how held by Democrats, 8 held by GOP, and 2 independents. All the GOP seats are safe, except possibly Nevada, while FL, IN, MO, MN, WV, WI and even MI are Democrat seats where Repubs could have a strong chance. If any of those flip, it makes McConnell even more powerful. And what if they are Trump supporters? What does it mean? I don't know exactly. The Senate is always very important. I suspect McConnell would always sabotage a GOP outsider, regardless of time or State

Before Will became so tedious, he was fun to read. By shilling for clinton he showed his complete transformation into a swamp denizen. He gets more tedious each day.

I agree with you 100%. Democrats are very upfront about their twisted beliefs. Republicans, on the other hand, wear a mask. They pay lip service to conservative values, but are duplicitous, despicable, backstabbing cowards.
