Marine Colonel Announces He’s Running Against Roy Moore: ‘Hold My Beer’

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.

Irrational. The logical course for the nevermores is to vote of Judge Moore and trust that Yertle can muster enough RINOs, to go along with all the Rats, and either not seat or seat then expel Moore. At which point they have the Gov. re-appoint Strange as his replacement. That way they can still proudly pretend to be Republicans. Voting in Jones doesn't gain Yertle any winning leadership votes, it just spares him one on the loss side. Jones would vote for Schemer. A Strange re-appointment both spares Yertle a no and gains him a yes. Of course faith in that strategy requires the RINO to still have faith Yertle can actually pull off something to make it work. Even hard core RINOs are starting to doubt that.

I forgot about that guy.

[jmaroneps37]

This asshole is just looking to get his name in the paper. As a Marine he embarrasses me.

[beergarden]

I thought so too. Did Bezos payroll him? Sounds too good to be true with his story.

[OldMissileer]

If this turd starts a large ad campaign now we will know the GOPe swamp monsters and possibly the DNC together are giving him a ton of money to siphon votes away from Moore.

[beergarden]

Same here. Payrolled by Soros, Mitch, NWO and Bezos. There are no such things as consequences.

[beergarden]

The DAILY BEAST is a far-left publication and they “suddenly’ write a pro-military article? This is damn fishy.

[TXBlair]

This guy probably thought the Community Organizer was qualified for the Senate, though.

[neverevergiveup]

“Is McConnell in the mix on this?”

Time to demand that McConnell step down, loudly and incessantly. Anyone who tries to subvert the will of the voting public is unfit to hold office.

And didn't pick up any common sense in all that time?

Strangely no one seems to have noticed that democrats have about an equal share of military. Lot of Obama voters in the service, even have an openly avowed commie in West Point.

[nickcarraway]

Isn’t it too late to get on, or off, the ballot?

[Cicero]

Who knows? Bezos, or Soros, or some tool of the swamp, probably.

............BOL: AINOs UNAWARES???????????

[Vlad The Inhaler]

How did the democrats convince him to do this?

[deport]

Isn’t it too late to get on, or off, the ballot?

/////////////

Yes to late to get on the ballot.
Thus the running as a “Write In”

[Maudeen]

This guy is in it for himself, perhaps getting a little change on the side. It’s all about an R or a D being seated in congress. He probably tattled on people in the military, too. “Hold my beer”???? now that’s real statesmanship.

[Ted Grant]

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

GOP Inc is completely absurd.

[HotHunt]

"....but I don’t see anything within his experience as a judge that qualifies him for the job...."

The Senate is just a debate society. All they do is talk. If Moore can talk, he's qualified.

[Albion Wilde]

““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.”

Yeah! If only he had been a community organizer or a real estate developer.

[detective]

“on his last tour of duty was vice chief of staff to then-Gen. John Kelly”

What does Vice Chief of Staff mean? Is that another name for perfumed prince?
