Strange was appointed to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ former Senate seat by disgraced former Gov. Robert Bentley before he resigned last month. Many see the appointment as a corrupt deal struck between a governor, Bentley, mired in scandal and the state attorney general, Strange, prosecuting him.
. . .
"We have made it very clear from the beginning that Sen. Luther Strange would be treated as an incumbent," NRSC spokeswoman Katie Martin reportedly told Politico. "It has also been a clear policy that we will not use vendors who work against our incumbents."

They hate Moore and the GOPe is closing ranks to defeat him.

Why they want this corrupt former AG in the Senate is beyond me.

OTOH, they do hate Moore because he would be as big a bull-in-a-china-shop as Ted Cruz is.

A few days back on AL.com:

Moore did install his own private 2.5-ton 10 commandments monument in the state judicial building with no authorization. So he is more than a little flaky. You just aren't allowed to install your own religious brick-a-brac in state buildings on a personal whim or as a political tactic.

So I guess this is a runoff between the Flake (Moore) and the Fluke (Strange).

Given how Alabama is, I'd bet on the Flake to win easily. No one except the GOPe will be shedding any tears over Strange losing this seat he obtained so corruptly, almost certainly by blackmailing a corrupt AL governor who he was investigating at the time.

Strange would have had a better chance if the GOPe wasn't backing him so much. Alabama voters will (rightly) perceive that the Swamp is trying to shove a corrupt former A.G. down their throats.

Given how Alabama is,

An just how is "Alabama" that other states are not?

Given how Alabama is, I'd bet on the Flake to win easily

People who call the honorable Roy Moore a flake are faggots who want to pretend to be married.

Your comment makes you sound like a whining liberal.

People who call the honorable Roy Moore a flake are faggots who want to pretend to be married.

Gee, are you single, AKA? We could be so happy together. My digestive tract is aching to be filled with your man-love. Can't we exchange diseases like any other couple? LOL

Yes, it is flaky for judges to put up 2.5-ton religious monuments inside state judicial buildings. If you want to do something like that, run for the legislature or for governor and pass a law to authorize it. Crackpot judges don't get to just install their own personal monuments on state property.

Moore is a weirdo and a very poor choice as a judge, whether you agree with the outcomes in any particular case that he heard. But he will probably win that senate seat in a landslide after the GOPe carries out a full character assassination that will only cement his already-strong support in AL. That doesn't make him a good choice, just a very likely winner.

I will be watching this race. I expect the GOPe will pull out all the stops and campaign against Moore in much the same way they campaigned against David Duke when he tried to run for senate in Lousiana. In that instance, the GOPe behaved the same way they are now treating Moore and eventually urged Republicans to vote against Duke and endorsed Duke's Dem opponent so they could stop Duke.

I have to wonder whether Trump will pick a side in the Alabama race or (wisely) stay out of it completely.

An just how is "Alabama" that other states are not?

The kind of state that would make Roy Moore a chief justice.

Moore is a weirdo and a very poor choice as a judge,

No people who disagree with Moore are mostly sickos.

Not you. It surprises me you attack a constitutionalist.

Can you give me 3 or 5 decisions that Roy Moore got wrong.

I've never heard a case where he got anything wrong.

The 10 commandments belong in the courthouse. It is the basis of all law.

The kind of state that would make Roy Moore a chief justice.

Smart moral people?

Not dummies like in California.

Massachusetts-Warren
Massachusetts-Ted Kennedy
Minnesota-Frankin
Arizona-McCain
South Carolina-Graham
Kentucky-Paul
Texas-Cruz
New York-Schumer
Vermont-Sanders
Connecticut-Blumenthal
Illinois-Durbin
Virginia-Kane

California-Pelosi
California-Waters
Kentucky-Massie
Florida-Hastings
California-Lee
Florida-Schultz
Texas-Lee
Hawaii- Gabbard
Florida-Grayson
Tennessee-Desjarlasi
And the list goes on …

And people who allow men to marry men and women to marry women are not weirdos?

How about people who marry animals….will they be next and they will not be weirdos?

Not dummies like in California.

Would you approve of allowing the chief justice of the state of California (or New York) to install their own monuments to every left-wing cause they favor?

This whole bit about having the ten commandments in statehouses and courthouses dates back to the late Fifties, when Cecil B. DeMille cooked it up as a promotional scheme for his movie which was called ... The Ten Commandments.

Chron.com: 'Ten Commandments' went from film to stone

DeMille was already dead by the time his PR patsies, the Fraternal Order of Eagles, ramped up their Ten Commandments monument distribution for parks and courthouses and other city/state properties. But then, how many Texans today will proudly recite "Don't mess with Texas" as a semi-threat without knowing that it was actually just an anti-littering slogan put on signs on a rural stretch of northeastern Texas highway during Lady Bird Johnson's anti-littering jihad?

Of course, all of this mostly illustrates how culturally retarded America really is.

And people who allow men to marry men and women to marry women are not weirdos?

I dunno. Ask the Supreme Court. More directly, ask which way Anthony Kennedy, Supreme Dictator of the United States, is flapping in the wind on any given day.

That makes Moore a weirdo?

Ask the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court did not call Moore a "weirdo"....you did.

Sounds like a plan to me.

"I have done my duty under the laws of this state to stand for the undeniable truth that God ordained marriage as the union of one man and one woman," he said. "I know and I think you do, too, that the foundations of the fabric of our country are being shaken tremendously.

"Our families are being crippled by divorce and abortion. Our sacred institution of marriage has been destroyed by the Supreme Court. Our rights and liberties are in jeopardy.

"What I did, I did for the people of Alabama. I stood up for the Constitution. I stood up for God. The great majority of the people of this state believe in God."

So if Moore goes to the Senate and offers a bill to ban divorce (and re-marriage), you would support that?

Some of these things only sound good until you actually follow them to their inevitable conclusion.

I think Moore is a phony and a hypocrite who has spent quite a number of years grandstanding himself in the public eye. And I think he is about to be rewarded for it by the voters of Alabama.

OTOH, Luther Strange is a creature of the Swamp Things in the Beltway (known as the GOPe) and got his position by blackmailing a corrupt governor a month before Governor Naughty Pants got run out of orifice.

So Moore vs. Strange is a choice but it's still a bad choice IMO.

Would you approve of allowing the chief justice of the state of California (or New York) to install their own monuments to every left-wing cause they favor?

Because someone does good doesn't mean you have to let someone do evil.

Can you comprehend that simple concept?

Who gives a shit what leftists want. They are luck to be breathing.

So if Moore goes to the Senate and offers a bill to ban divorce (and re-marriage), you would support that?

There is no such thing as divorce.

If you divorce your wife and you "mary" another you are committing adultery.

That is a simple second grade fact if you comprehend it or not.

Before we can make America great again, we've got to make America good again.

Moore reminds me of this. Just like Huckabee does.

If you divorce your wife and you "mary" another you are committing adultery.

That is a simple second grade fact if you comprehend it or not.

So you want Roy Moore to lead the Senate in a charge to outlaw divorce unconditionally?

I think Moore is a phony and a hypocrite who has spent quite a number of years grandstanding himself in the public eye.

On this thread that could be said of you. You are grandstanding saying Moore is a flake and other insults. But I ask you a simple question to tell us what decisions you disagree with. You seem at a loss of words to give us details. You just continue to grandstand and talk about divorce.

"I'll stand for the rights and liberties of the people," Moore said while announcing his intent to run at the Alabama statehouse in Montgomery. "My position has always been God first, family then country.

That makes Moore a weirdo?

Moore is no weirdo.

You are just to the right of sortaconservative.

So you want Roy Moore to lead the Senate in a charge to outlaw divorce unconditionally?

So you want everyone to be forced to mary someone of the same sex?

That is how stupid your question was.

On this thread that could be said of you.

Are you serious?

This entire forum has about 15-20 active users, maybe another 10 intermittent posters.

I hate to break it to you but LF is just a little chat board. How do you compare some posts on an anonymous forum to having the kind of power that a state chief justice has or a U.S. senator has?

You are just to the right of sortaconservative.

You aren't going to change my handle again, are you?

So you want everyone to be forced to mary someone of the same sex?

Sure. Why not? It would be good for a laugh.

"Yes, it is flaky for judges to put up 2.5-ton religious monuments inside state judicial buildings."

You think that's flaky? How about those who put dead bodies in the Capitol rotunda? Weird.

By the way, this "religious" monument was also covered with quotes from the Declaration of Independence, the national anthem, and various Founding Fathers.

If the mere presence of the Ten Commandments makes this a "religious monument", then I assume you'd describe Elizabeth Warren as a Cherokee Indian.

You're off topic.

I just said you were grandstanding.

I give you a hard time sometimes.

I have to wholeheartedly agree with your sentiments on this topic.

Sure. Why not? It would be good for a laugh.

So laws should be passed so you can have a good laugh.

Got ya.

You think that's flaky? How about those who put dead bodies in the Capitol rotunda? Weird.

I dislike having dead bodies in legislative buildings for any reason. I would not allow any of them to lie "in state".

Besides, it's too hard to distinguish real corpses from the undead hacks we elect to those legislatures.

You aren't going to change my handle again, are you?

Not a chance.

So you want Roy Moore to lead the Senate in a charge to outlaw divorce unconditionally?

Do you think that if you "divorce" your wife and start up with another lady that it isn't adultry?

Do you believe in marriage?

Do you believe in until death do us part?

Or, Antifa as it is called today. I think Huey Long is closer to the real truth.

Do you think that if you "divorce" your wife and start up with another lady that it isn't adultry?

Yep.

Do you believe in marriage?

In theory. In practice, not so much.

Do you believe in until death do us part?

Did the apostle Paul? He seemed to allow divorce/remarriage just because your spouse was not a Christian.

"I dislike having dead bodies in legislative buildings for any reason."

Yeah. It kinda makes the presence of a granite monument a preferable option, huh?

So I guess this is a runoff between the Flake (Moore) and the Fluke (Strange).

Well stated.

So if Moore goes to the Senate and offers a bill to ban divorce (and re-marriage), you would support that?

That’s a stupid hypothetical question to ask …

People who call the honorable Roy Moore a flake are faggots who want to pretend to be married.

Moore ain't all that honorable because he wants to use the power of the government to stuff his religion down everyone's throat.

If he had his way,the US would be a Christian version of Saudi Arabia.

You up for that,Stone?

I think Moore is a phony and a hypocrite who has spent quite a number of years grandstanding himself in the public eye. And I think he is about to be rewarded for it by the voters of Alabama.

You are allowed to “think” what you want to….God Bless America.

And Moore is allowed to stand up for what he fells is right.

But who is the hypocrite just to call someone a hypocrite because they don’t agree with him?

Would you approve of allowing the chief justice of the state of California (or New York) to install their own monuments to every left-wing cause they favor?

If they were on the basic heritage of our country and the founding principles….I would feel comfortable with that.

Just as as federal district court found printing “In God We Trust” on legal tender does not violate the Constitution….I don’t feel that Moore placing the Ten Commandments in the court building violated the Constitution.

And just a “in God We Trust” appears on the facade of the U.S. Supreme Court building, I don’t feel that Moore placing the Ten Commandments in the court building violated the Constitution.

“The National Motto, ‘In God We Trust,’ appears in the the House and Senate Chambers and yet Moore could not place a monument of the Ten Commandments in the Alabama Supreme Court building.

Now, tell me again about being hypocritical …

But who is the hypocrite just to call someone a hypocrite because they don’t agree with him?

Nope.

If Moore is so dead-set against divorce, why didn't he find a case to rule against divorce entirely in the state of Alabama? He certainly could have. But he didn't.

That's called hypocrisy.

He just says these things. Actually do something about it? Not much.

His history of grandstanding doesn't inspire much confidence.

"I'll stand for the rights and liberties of the people," Moore said while announcing his intent to run at the Alabama statehouse in Montgomery. "My position has always been God first, family then country.

That makes Moore a weirdo?

It makes him a traitor that puts America 3rd.

Just as as federal district court found printing “In God We Trust” on legal tender does not violate the Constitution….I don’t feel that Moore placing the Ten Commandments in the court building violated the Constitution.

I wouldn't object to Moore placing his wooden wall plaque on his own courtroom wall. That's how all this began, back in the Nineties (as I recall it).

It's when he became chief justice and unilaterally placed a 2.5-ton granite monument in the rotunda of Alabama's state judicial building that he clearly crossed the line.

Monuments on state property are the business of the legislature, not a judge who sneaks it in under the cover of night, not even knowing whether the building's floor could support such a heavy stone piece. Then his allies at Coral Ridge Ministries (who funded it) took video of this illegal installation and sold DVDs to make money off it. Kinda like how DeMille got the F.O.E. to fund all those 10 commandments plaques and monuments around the country as a promotional for his movie.

This is the kind of thing that caused Roy Moore to be removed as chief justice. After he grandstanded his way back on to the state court in 2013, his pay was suspended in 2016. And then he resigned from the court last month, facing a half-dozen ethics charges (which he had already lost) so he could run for Senate.

I'm surprised Moore still has a law license. I expect the GOPe will try to find a way to go after that as well, probably during the upcoming campaign.

I think Moore is a phony and a hypocrite who has spent quite a number of years grandstanding himself in the public eye. And I think he is about to be rewarded for it by the voters of Alabama.

OTOH, Luther Strange is a creature of the Swamp Things in the Beltway (known as the GOPe) and got his position by blackmailing a corrupt governor a month before Governor Naughty Pants got run out of orifice.

So Moore vs. Strange is a choice but it's still a bad choice IMO.

I still maintain that there should be a box to mark on every ballot that has "none of the above",and that every time "None of the above" wins,there should immediately be another election with all new candidates (mandatory) that is paid for in full by the part coffers to the parties that backed a candidate in the first election. NO PUBLIC MONEY.

That would quickly guarantee better candidates than "loser number 1" and "loser number 2'.

Because someone does good doesn't mean you have to let someone do evil.

Can you comprehend that simple concept?

Can YOU comprehend "Equal Justice for ALL"?

They hate Moore and the GOPe is closing ranks to defeat him.

Yup, just like they did Donald, but CHRIST had other plans.

There is no such thing as divorce.

If you divorce your wife and you "mary" another you are committing adultery.

What color is the sky on your home planet?

"Marriage" and "divorce" are civil legalities.

Or are you going to try to claim you paid GAWD for your marriage license?

"When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross."

(Spuriously) attributed to Sinclair Lewis.

Moore reminds me of this. Just like Huckabee does.

Amen,amen,AMEN!

Evidently some people think THEIR fascist flavor is non-fattening and good for you,unlike all the other fascist flavors.

"Yes, it is flaky for judges to put up 2.5-ton religious monuments inside state judicial buildings."

You think that's flaky? How about those who put dead bodies in the Capitol rotunda? Weird.

Where does it say both can't be flaky?
