Marine Colonel Announces He’s Running Against Roy Moore: ‘Hold My Beer’
Daily Beast ^ | November 27, 2017 | James Laporta

Posted on 11/27/2017 10:28:17 AM PST by C19fan

When retired Marine Col. Lee Busby read it was too late for a write-in candidate for the Alabama senate race, he said, “Hold my beer, we will just see about that.”

Busby told The Daily Beast on Monday he is launching his long-shot bid to stop Republican nominee Roy Moore from reaching the Senate.

Get this clown out of here.

If he was serious he would have bobbled up from the sewer a while ago.

Just another spoiler working to get a damn Democrat into Sessions’ seat.

If the Rats succeed in killing Moore with lying bimbos, they will use it again and again while excusing themselves whenever they are caught because they are working for women’s rights.

How could this guy even get on the ballot at this late date?

***************

His name won’t be on the ballot. That is why he is running as a write in candidate.

Alabama election law provides that Write-in votes shall be
permitted only in non-municipal general elections.

Some people I knew in the Marines (67-71) were a**holes. All former Marines aren’t the best thing since sliced bread.

Jack Murtha.

Sounds right to me, but moreover I think this has become more of a confrontation between the people of Alabama who overwhelmingly voted for Moore in the primary, and anyone who tries to tell them they shouldn’t do so in the general election. If it was me I wouldn’t care if Jesus Christ himself ran against Moore.

The establishment really, really don’t want US electing anyone who sides with US and the rule of law.
They only want US to be able to vote for their amnesty candidates.

They are protecting the demographic changes they have made to the country against the will of the citizens.
We have been blocked from stopping the illegal alien inundation and prevented from electing anyone would help US keep our country.

Undoubtedly. The Swampublicans have been looking for a candidate.

Thank you deport. I missed the "write-in" part of this.

“I have no idea if the allegations against him true or not, but I don’t see anything within his experience as a judge that qualifies him for the job.”

He sure seems to have the qualifications as spelled out by the Constitution, retired Marine Col. Lee Busby. You do also. Hey I do also. Amazing. If you get any votes and install the Democrat I hope the good residents of Alabama run you out of the state, retired Marine Col. Lee Busby. Do not come to Louisiana though or we will run you out of here. I suspect Texas would run you out of there unless you decide to settle down in Houston or Austin. Arizona will take you. I hear they accept flakes there.

I agree with your take on it.

That last line was a bit over the top for me, but I understand your emphasis and I do agree with the sentiment behind it.

It seems that the Democrats and establishment Republicans are going all out to ensure that an Alabama senate seat flips to Democrat. Not one Republican has made the logical argument that we should presume innocence until proven otherwise and elect Moore to keep the seat in Republican hands. If he is proven guilty later (a big if), then we can replace him. But in the meantime, he's innocent until proven otherwise.

You know that this is how the Democrats would approach it if they were in a similar situation. No way would the Democrats be saying "Let's get a Republican in there while we sort this out."

How much is he being paid to do this.

We have had this happen where dems have paid people to run at last minute to disrupt elections.

The GOP bog could be doing the same.

No he just has to pull enough votes away. This has nothing to do with winning.

Have seen this sort of tactic used in our elections here in our state.

Murtha ain't running but he likely will be voting.
