Never Underestimate Republican Hypocrisy.In spite of the reports that he was trying to dip his wick into several underaged teens, he's STILL running and his braindead, bible thumping, cousin-humping supporters are going to vote for him next month, in spite of all of that.
They don't care if he abused children when he was younger. (Some of them might even admire him for it.) All they care about is the fact that he's representative of their pious, regressive, racist ideology.
Sure, Moore is a fucking asshole, but he's THEIR fucking asshole. His very unfitness for public office isn't a bug, it's the feature that endears him to much of fucking Alabama. To me, he's simply one of the best examples of why I'm glad that my great-grandparents fled there more than ninety years ago.
In order to beat him in the upcoming election, Democrats are going to have to come out in droves, because his fans certainly will. And his fans are more like cult members than anything else. Roy Moore isn't running a political campaign, he's running a cult of personality. He's the biggest religious nut bag to run for public office that I've ever seen in my entire life.
Back in 2003, I spent six weeks in Alabama doing Air Force stuff and I saw up close and first hand, during that whole Ten Commandments thingie, what kind of people these are. There were a bunch of pro-monument protesters on the courthouse steps day and night. These fools didn't have lives apparently. There were trucks driving around Montgomery, emblazoned with religious nuttery. It was fucking nuts.
One funny thing I saw on the TV was where this one protester was getting interviewed for the local news. The news person asked him why he was protesting and he said that he was there to help protect the country's freedom of religion... The kicker was when the reporter followed that up when she asked him if he would protest in favor of a Hindu or Islamic monument. Of course, the guy said that he wouldn't... Because America is a Christian nation in his opinion. I found it amusing that this fool just admitted that he was a fucking hypocrite to a TV camera.
I also found it amusing that they stood up on those steps and prayed that a marble graven idol to the Ten Commandments was not removed from the Court, something that has one commandment written on it that one should not worship graven idols.
Roy Moore's people, everybody! Hypocrites ALL!

Helps them sleep at night.

That's where he starts. That's what is important to the party. Sheesh.
They're such asshats, especially Senator Rob (I know I've got a spine in here somewhere) Portman.

I fully expect that Roy Fuckhead Moore will NEVER drop out of this race. His base will not desert him. He will continue screaming FAKE NEWS, continue to blame The Evil Clinton's and the Ungodly Librul Media. He will play the victim, his supporters will not falter. He may still win this election.
Roy Fuckhead Moore committed Pedophilia. Roy Moore sexually assaulted a child.
And Republicans simply don't care.

(45,806 posts)about being failed in the Alabama courts so often before now? Hell he was kicked off the Alabama Supreme Court, but doesn't care and neither do his supporters. Mean & nasty as it sounds, he's pretty old. Maybe his God will call him home soon!

That is correct, and scary - considering the likes of Mike Pence, Louie Gohmert, Sarah Palin, Rick Santorum, and the rest of that ilk.
In the near future, I would be very happy to get less of Moore.

Yeah, that was between Dick deficits dont natter Cheney and the new tax cuts and huge deficits are the key to prosperity assholes running their cult these days.
