How is it in any way mysterious that Roy Moore got nominated by the GOP in Alabama?
The same reason he got elected as a judge again like twice by the same voters despite being removed for going against the law.
The guy is an obnoxious Bible thumping zealot. These seem to be favorable...
Really the only proper response to Dog is to say "whataboutwhataboutwhatabout" after every whatabout post of his, which is the entire sum of his argument here. Dumb to play his game in my opinion.
Whataboutism is a tempting and lazy game to play. I often think, with respect to a lot of Trump...
How could the Catholic Church go on for centuries as one of the most powerful organizations in human history with a bunch of priests who were raping and molesting children unless the society around them was willing to ignore this or be complicit?
How could Harvey Weinstein have achieved and...
I think the national GOP will have about as much luck gaining control over who their nominees are as they did with Trump.
The genie is out of the bottle. A full generation of Fox News and Rush have softened the brains of the GOP electorate that the Trumps and Moores seem to be what they want...
This is not as much of an obvious move as you think. The Hannity Bannon faction of the GOP is all in on Moore. To remove him would require a substantial number of GOP Senators to vote for such a move, which is a bit different than tut-tutting about him in the media. This could cost them MAGAt...

kmacdonald, all whataboutism nonwithstanding, how would you vote if you were an Alabama voter?
1. Vote for Moore - either don't believe the accusations or don't care, better a pederast than a Democrat
2. Vote for Doug Jones - he is either the better candidate or the lesser of two evils
3...
I honestly can't tell if you are serious or sarcastic through the internet. So do you think if you call a special election, and then it unexpectedly looks like it might not turn out in your favor, that it's a legitimate solution to just call off the election until you can achieve a more...
So the Alabama GOP has kind of dug in and gone all in on Roy Moore.
The National GOP has hit the eject button including an ever increasing number of Senators who are taking the position that "Roy Moore should leave the race now" instead of "if it turns out he can be proven guilty in a court of...
Reading these accounts from the locals that knew Moore, I'm thinking it's a Sandusky type situation. Or Weinstein. Powerful important guy in the community. "Oh, that's just Roy/Jerry, he's kind of weird like that. He really loves young people." Everyone pretty much knew, no one wanted to...
