Poll: Judge Roy Moore leads competitors in runoff

[phill4paul]

If Moore wins, and is seated, he'll be an even bigger distraction than he would have been as a run-of-the-mill culture warrior.

I see nothing to be gained from continuing to support him.

It's more a question of how to minimize the damage (Rand should have never endorsed him in the first place).

Disagree. There's a reason Rand endorsed him. He didn't have to. They must have seen eye to eye on some important issues.

Roy Moore is pro-small government and against for a non-interventionist foreign policy.

Roy Moore is a culture warrior whose obsession with those issues totally overshadows any libertarian-ish inclinations he may have.

He's not a libertarian so...there's that. But, he obviously had good talks with Rand regarding foreign intervention. Though I'm sure the Democrat in the race is probably closer to your libertarian values.

Or Rand mistakenly thought they did, or had some more pragmatic reason for supporting the guy, who knows.

I know that's Rand's motives are sound, so I don't really care why he made this error.

But it was an error and it needs to be corrected, in whatever way is least damaging.

Pretty sure you are more obsessed about how obsessed he is obsessed with those issues than he is..

Did you see the post a few pages back where I took a random sample of articles written by Moore at WND (he wrote dozens)?

If not, take a gander, and then tell me he's not totally obsessed with the culture war, to the exclusion of everything else.

The Democrat is probably closer to your Libertarian ideology so why don't you just come out and say you support Doug Jones for Senate?

Rand has warred for Christian culture before, it's my least favorite thing that he does, but I could care less if he does it if he is successful in his overall goals which he is.. I mean, he has almost been killed twice.

That is unprovable, as a Senator he will have to vote on everything that comes up anyway so his focus won't make much difference if he holds the right positions on important subjects, which he does.

Amazingly enough some 30 minutes after the presser no synopsis regarding forgery on Google. 2 minutes after the Allred presser there was a transcript and photos for 3 pages.

Fake news is too busy trotting out liar #6 and liar #7...

[h=1]Drudge Report comes out strongly against Senate candidate Roy Moore[/h]https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/onpolitics/2017/11/15/drudge-report-comes-out-strongly-against-senate-candidate-roy-moore/866483001/?utm_source=feedblitz&utm_medium=FeedBlitzRss&utm_campaign=usatoday-newstopstories

Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore is taking preliminary legal steps to challenge the reporting on the recent allegations that he had multiple relationships with teenagers, by issuing a demand letter to the local Alabama Media Group, the publisher of AL.com, which has been reporting the story following the Washington Post’s story last week. The letter accuses the publication of defamation, libel, slander, fraud, malice, suppression, wantonness, conspiracy, and negligence.

Was it the press conference?:

Why does Congress routinely jam hundreds of unrelated bills together into an omnibus?

Luther Strange: votes for "clean" debt ceiling hike because McConnell asks him to

Roy Moore: votes for "clean" debt ceiling hike in exchange for McConnell's promise to put a Christmas tree on the Senate floor (next year)

...

Rand has warred for Christian culture before, it's my least favorite thing that he does, but I could care less if he does it if he is successful in his overall goals which he is.. I mean, he has almost been killed twice.

99% of Rand's political comments/actions don't revolve around social conservatism.

Again, it's a matter of priority.

I could care less where a politician falls on the cultural spectrum, provided they don't focus on culture to the exclusion of things that matter.

The Democrat is probably closer to your Libertarian ideology so why don't you just come out and say you support Doug Jones for Senate?

Is the ignorance real or feigned?

From the press conference the yearbook signature is a fake. Did Gloria Allred know or did the woman fake it on her own?

The woman stated she had no contact with Moore after the alleged incident. That was false, Moore was the judge for her divorce decree. Did Gloria Allred know her "client" made a false statement?

I'm still confused how do you retain a lawyer like Gloria Allred when there's no legal case or actions being taken, just holding a press conference.
