Alabamians might 'hold their nose' to back Roy Moore for one reason — abortion

Suzanne Michelle can scarcely hold it in any longer when it comes to Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. At her Friday Bible study social, the Alabama Democrat is so troubled by Moore's alleged sexual misconduct involving teen girls that she's taken to applying Jesus's teachings to today's politics.

Michelle, 34, wants to know how anyone, including right-leaning Christians she sometimes socializes with, can square the "biblical truths" by which they all abide with what she sees as a "single-issue voting population."

"From people who are friends of mine, who have different political ideologies, they hold matters of the soul in super-high regard. And they keep coming down hard on this one single issue," she said.

"The abortion issue."

Indeed, while the Dec. 12 special election pitting Moore against former prosecutor Doug Jones may be defined by sexual misconduct, its outcome could be decided by how willing Alabamians are to support a pro-choice candidate in Jones.

Millions of unborn children murdered yearly for “convenience” - PROVEN and DOCUMENTED.

Accusations of sexual misconduct by Judge Roy Moore - UNPROVEN and largely DEBUNKED.

So... there’ll be little nose-holding on Tuesday.

Judge Moore Ping!

Want on or off this ping list? Just drop me a FReep mail.

Nice roundup of the accusers and Judge Moore's responses.

Follow Judge Moore on Twitter.

There is soo much BS in that analysis they could use it to fertilize Central Park. Alabamans saw through the hit job, period.

Oh, by the way, they like Moore better than doug jones. That's why Moore will win.

[madison10]

Doubt they are holding their noses much at all. Media is projecting.

The CBC will usually will allow commenting throughout the day when they post a story... That 'is' if they allow commenting at all. They usually censor most controversial subjects... But this story actually got in a bunch before they realized that 'abortion' is too controversial and cut it off.

888 Comments - Commenting is now closed for this story.

Gee, what a conundrum.

Vote for the guy who awkwardly tried a little grabass 40 years or vote for the guy who wants to see thousands of Alabama babies murdered in their wombs.

Such a tough choice. I’m sure Jesus would squirm at this one.

The concept of a Senate ethics committee can be somewhat surreal when one considers the cases of calling for the head of a Senate candidate accused of creeping 16 and 17 year olds 35 years before his race for the Senate vs a seated married Senator on the way to a physical  “liason”  drunkenly driving off a bridge  leaving a female staffer in his car to drown while fleeing the scene of the accident.There is no equivalency between the two. However I don’t even think there was an ethics investigation of the latter.Indeed Dems reelected the latter Senator to 7 more terms and was a serious centender for the Dem Presidential nomination.I guess the concept of moral turpitude has a different set of metrics in the Democrat political wonderland than the real world.

$crew any Canadian so called news source using fake news for another lie!

The rat base is none too pleased with his “look at me, I prosecuted the KKK, I’m the best right?” campaign.

Listening to Chris Plante via internet on DC's WMAL (best talk show host IMHO), the local news led with the following quote

"Does DC have a rat crisis?"

I turned the sound down before having to hear the leftist network news. They probably meant the little rodents, but it sure sounded funny.... a "Rat" crisis.

[angryoldfatman]

Yup. Democrats continue to pay a very steep price for making abortion a litmus test.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If they weren’t blatant hypocrites, the Roe Effect should have made them practically extinct a decade or so ago. That’s the main reason they’re so eager to get Third World immigrants in here. It’s the only way they can keep voters electing Democrats.

[GOPJ]

They need to vote him into office.

[Simon Green]

I suspect a significant portion of Moore’s support will come from people voting primarily on the issue of gun rights.

[jmaroneps37]

Abortion is bad enough but this bastard Jones supports MURDERING babies moments from a healthy natural birth so yes people in Alabama, the third most pro-life state will vote for Roy Moore and the won’t have to hold their nose.

Moore wins 57/43. More than this if as the latest poll shows Abortionist Jones has 43% it is reasonable to say at least 3 points of that total are people who are embarrassed to say they are STILL voting for Moore anyway.

[backwoods-engineer]

They HATE US, they really HATE US!

Well, Jesus told us they would hate us.

[backwoods-engineer]

We sure did see though it.

And we're called "Alabamians." Don't forget our "i".

I hope Roy Moore is anticipating that. It might be wise to have an ad already in the can and ready to play as an immediate response.

It would be so cool to have an ad that says. Gloria Alred and her crew are so predictable that we cut this ad last week.

No, I did not fund an abortion for any young ladies when I was younger. The people of Alabama deserve better than the nonsense she and my opponent are pumping out. Vote for Roy Moore.

That's a great idea; only how about a list of offenses, like "I did not make a statement that was recorded and used as propaganda by North Vietnam." Every offense pre-denied would be something the left has done.

[cyclotic]

That would be really cool. A whole laundry list.

I didn’t crash my car while drunk driving and leave a girl to drown

I did not grab a sleeping entertainer on a US Air Force plane

I did not spend $260,000 in taxpayer money to ply friends and family with alcohol while flying to and from my home on Government aircraft

I did not have sex with that woman, Ms. Lewinski

I did not magically turn a $1000 investment into 100,000 in a few months

I did not slip my hands up the dress of a female aide at church

I did not say you’d save $2500 a year and keep your doctor

I did not hide $100,000 in stolen money in my freezer then commandeer a National Guard helicopter to go get it after a hurricane

I did not lie about my time as a soldier in Vietnam

This could go on forever. Perhaps Roy needs to purchase an hour of TV time.

[pfflier]

I will get it right next time. Thanks.

Hey, Tokyo Rove said this morning Moore doesn’t have a chance according to FOX polls.

.I guess the concept of moral turpitude has a different set of metrics in the Democrat political wonderland than the real world.

You do remember that they openly rejected Christ at their last convention right?
