Gov. Kay Ivey to vote for Roy Moore in U.S. Senate race

Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey said today she plans to vote for Roy Moore in the Dec. 12 election for the U.S. Senate despite allegations of Moore's sexual encounters with teenage girls about 40 years ago, which Moore has adamantly denied.

Ivey, answering questions from reporters after the traditional Thanksgiving turkey pardon event at the governor's mansion, said protecting the Republican majority in the Senate was a major factor.

"I'm going to cast my ballot on December the 12th, and I do believe the nominee of the party is the one I'll vote for," Ivey said. "I believe in the Republican Party, what we stand for, and most important, we need to have a Republican in the United States Senate to vote on things like the Supreme Court justices, other appointments the Senate has to confirm and make major decisions. So that's what I plan to do, vote for Republican nominee Roy Moore."

1. More evidence

That Republicans will vote for a sexual predator, and a pedophile! Not a far stretch to believe that Republicans would vote for a child eating serial killer...

6. If by some hook or crook (pun intended),

Moore gets to the US Senate, he will continue to bring shame and embarrassment to the State of Alabama just like he did as Judge. If Gov. Ivey thinks he will bring honor and integrity to the senate representing Alabama she really is delusional. He is a bombastic, religious nutbag and he will only cause the same kind of problems in DC that we’ve seen him do for years. The shame from this whole episode is going to reflect back on Alabama if they elect this terribly flawed person, which already has a terrible enough reputation without going one more step too far.

7. Self-loathing person

Wonder if that is her real position or if her husband-keeper told her to vote that way? After all, that's what any proper member of the American Taliban would do

13. AL Report on Status of Women...

At least in 2015, the state was dead last. A female Governor doesn't mean much when she's a Republican white evangelical ready to support pedophiles and patriarchs for...Jeebus?
