I am well educated on voter fraud. I lived 37 years in Chicago and Cook county. Trump overcame the massive voter fraud. Moore could not.

Ours is a struggle to restore our American Republic. The struggle is against Socialist aggression. They change their names and colors (Communists, Socialists, Liberals, Progressives) repeatedly. People flow among them and wear masks to disguise their actual intent. Each and every group always has the same goal, the eventual destruction of our Republic, and the establishment of a Socialist Dictatorship, with them as part of the Intellectual Elite who will rule.

And which one of those is the equivalent of calling a man a rapist and child molester?

You gotta be kidding me. If a woman had come forward and claimed Trump had molested her when she was 14, Trump would have been toast. Add to that another woman accusing him of attempted rape? Fuggedaboutit.

Nobody implied that they were.

You say that so confidently. Follow the thread for Pete's sake. Here's what I was responding to:

Establishment Republicans stayed home or wrote-in the name of other candidate.

If the Republican Establishment is thousands of people in just one state, it doesn't make sense to talk of a Republican Establishment. It wasn't moneybags and lobbyists who didn't come out to vote for Moore. It was ordinary Republican voters -- at least enough of them to make a difference.

Attacking him as a reprobate goes way beyond acknowledging that someone is in opposition to your policy positions. They don't even hit Democrats that hard. They were out for blood with Roy Moore. He was more than just someone with whom they disagreed on policy positions, they treated him like a serious threat.

If it was just about a policy dispute, they would have given him support. They thought he was unstable and they were scared that they'd spend years hearing about things he did and said. They didn't want to be saddled with these charges for year after year.

Seriously, I am at a loss as to how people can say "flawed candidate" instead of "Accusations of child molestation and rape."

Flaw number one was that he couldn't shake the accusation. Once voters saw that maybe they detected other flaws.

They won’t. They are barely aware of what was started. As repercussions set in, they will blame men.

You already see it. Men are blamed for there not being enough “quality men” for husbands. Men are blamed for both not pursuing women and for pursuing them.

Men are blamed for everything. Women are exempted from blame for anything.
/////////////////////////////////////////

We have abandoned scripture and revealed truth in favor of pseudo scientific psycho-babble. We get righteous indignation from feminists because a 30 year old man legally dated 18 year old women in search of a marriage partner without having sex with her before marriage. We are told by these same women that it is perfectly natural for two men to sodomized each other and call it a marriage.
Please don’t expect me to accept that bullshit.
The irony is that with their latest crusade, the destruction of sexuality in favor of “gender” they have made all of this irrelevant. Now that males can believe they are female and simply “transgenderize”, women will no longer be able to play the vagina card because all genders will have one. Can you say “Baby I feel like a women tonight”
Roy Moore lost because he couldn’t be honest enough to fight this battle with an electorate that thinks Sodomy is fine, but an older man dating a younger woman is perverted. Roy courted younger women and eventually married one and has been married to her ever since. The cunning, evil, marxists were able to wrap two pieces of white bread around a load of crap and sell the shit as a sandwich.
America has gone so far down this evil path that even a bible belt state like ‘Bama doesn’t recognize good from evil and the past 40 years has become an eternity of degradation.

Maybe President Trump should fire Jeff Sessions and give the Attorney General job to Roy Moore. Then DOJ can get serious about Uranium One and the Mueller investigation team.

I see that nobody took on your call to “prove it.”

That’s very telling, isn’t it?

Same tactics of false accusations used against Trump, were used on Moore. The Uniparty even trotted out Gloria Alldead both times.

Moore should have unloaded on the enemies that were attacking him but he was taking fire from all directions and became weary as any human would. What place did he even have among these dirty politicians, as a practicing Christian his strict religious principals were of a different nature from the creatures in the swamp.

2 Corinthians 6:14 Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?

If the Republican Establishment is thousands of people in just one state, it doesn't make sense to talk of a Republican Establishment. It wasn't moneybags and lobbyists who didn't come out to vote for Moore. It was ordinary Republican voters -- at least enough of them to make a difference.

But you are completely ignoring *WHY* Republican voters didn't come out to vote for Moore. You are trying to sell this mantra that he was a "flawed candidate", instead of acknowledging the clear truth that he was a candidate fatally wounded by the actions of Democrat operatives and Republican backstabbers. What man could survive a knife in the front from Democrats, and another knife in the Back from establishment and Republican party office holders?

He was certainly a "flawed candidate" once the knifes went in, but not so much prior to that!

If it was just about a policy dispute, they would have given him support. They thought he was unstable and they were scared that they'd spend years hearing about things he did and said. They didn't want to be saddled with these charges for year after year.

I have no doubt that they regarded him as a hokey hickish embarrassment who would give them reams of bad press over the years, because there would always be a Democrat operative there with a microphone to record any kooky thing he might say which they could use against the party.

But this justifies portraying him as a child molester and rapist? This justifies treating him as if the charges were actually true rather than accusations?

I have said and others have said that the more likely probability is they regarded him as a threat to "business as usual" in Crony ran Washington DC. He would have made a stink every time they tried to do something he considered wrong, dubious and unethical. He would have been a Canary in the Stinking pit that is the Washington DC money mine.

They had blood hatred for him, and not because he would embarrass them. He was going to be "difficult" to deal with, and they wanted none of it.

Flaw number one was that he couldn't shake the accusation. Once voters saw that maybe they detected other flaws.

It's pretty hard to shake the accusation when your own party treats you exactly as if they believe all the accusations against you are true, even going so far as to urge other members of the party to vote for the baby murdering Democrat.

Roy Moore ran a poor campaign - almost Clintonian in its lack of concern over numerous red flags. It might have been different had he had the support of his party, but he didn’t. He still should have won, but Shelby drove the last nail in his coffin.

I believe that the republicans are throwing the 2018 elections to get rid of a President that they loathe. When the Black Sox did something similar, they went to prison.

Voters in his state didn't think so.

Voters are perfectly incapable of telling the difference by a wide margin. Many of the people who voted against Moore did so not because of the accusations so much as the argument that voting for him was a morally and intellectually flawed act. People didn't arrive at that conclusion, they just went with the general current as portrayed in the media. "Think" had nothing to do with it.

But that is beside the point. As others have pointed out, every step in this election was a result of the painful stupidity of Mitch McConnell. He picked Luther Strange with all his baggage and wound up with Roy Moore with all his baggage, whom he torpedoed to wind up with a democrat, making his already long odds of having a single accomplishment even worse. That is a keystone cops level of incompetence where every action just levels up the stupidity.

Mitch started digging and never stopped making things worse. He and Ryan will go on making the hole they are in deeper because they are born losers and that is all they know how to do. Whether you like Roy Moore or hate him, he isn't the senate majority leader.

“”I would like to ad that the American female will rue the day they started this. “”
“Uh...who started this?

It was MEN who groped, grabbed and raped.

You have evidence it was women who did this?”


Ladyjane, FemiNAZI is a real thing.

Fair enough. I would pinpoint wjc’s “Character doesn’t matter, it’s the economy, stupid” from 1992 as the great bellwether for American civilization — that time when the devil asked, “Are you ripe for the picking?” and the people said, “Yes.”

Don't for one second think that Judy Roy Moore lost that election !
Can't you see DemocRAT generated FAKE VOTES right in front of you ?

The information in the article Vote Fraud of Alabama from TUESDAY, DECEMBER 12, 2017, deserves saving.
