Moore Is Less

Controversial candidate Roy Moore goes down to ignominious defeat. The establishment breathes a sigh of relief. As do I, since you ask.

Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) delivered an emotional speech on House floor explaining why he’ll miss big votes. After an Oct diagnosis of high-risk prostate cancer, Brooks will be having surgery. He credited his loss in AL GOP Sen primary for saving his life. no mention of elex results
=========================
Sometimes we discover there is a bigger picture in our lives than what we foresaw.

Some may breathe a sigh of relief because Moore they feel Moore was going to create unwelcome controversy in the Senate and in the election next fall. Others may feel that the democrats, now emboldened with their successful gutter methods, will go forward trashing all GOP candidates.

I am not convinced much either way. The dems are going to do a lot of squirrely and yes, evil stuff, as they are desperate to get back in control. Most of them don't have anything else they can do if they aren't in elected office, and I also sense that quite a few worry their evil deeds stand a greater chance of being uncovered the longer Trump holds office.

I will say, Mr. Maguire, that I hope your sigh of relief isn't misplaced.

Controversial candidate Roy Moore

???
Killing babies & selling their scalps & body parts for cash is a-okay though. Nothing controversial about that. Fine folks.

Believing men that say they are women REALLY are women isn't controversial at all.
No....Jones isn't controversial. He's a good guy.

Moore had to be defeated. He was too controversial. He is a pedophile too, right? The MFM told us so. They had a yearbook & everything.

[Threadkiller]

Jones is in until 2020.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Blue Ox,

I certainly hope so. I do worry that the GOP needs to take a look at how candidates present themselves and reformat their message in a positive manner, rather than so often sounding like scolds.

We have to get this tax bill through. The democrats are framing it as something that will hurt people. I am hopeful that the President's speech this afternoon will cut through that nonsense.

[matt-deplore me if you must]

USA Today swung at Trump with both fists today. These people disgust me.

They just had the worst week for the credibility of the American news media ever, and they dare to reproach trump for speaking his mind.

Gillibrand has a checkered political past and like Schumer and all the other New York Dems was butt nuzzling Trump for donations for years.

Every day we are finding out how corrupt the people at FBI/DoJ have been and not a word from most of the media. These scum have defiled our most sacred public institutions and the Leftists cheer.

The more these dirtbags persist the more we have to fight them.

[Sue]

And he will do everything he can to damage us during those 2 years because he knows he won't win a re-election so why play moderate?

[Sue]

Jones. I should know by now that someone will have posted before I do. My bad.

==================
This is in reference to the "insurance policy" in case trump got elected.

[Threadkiller]

I am confused. Did Moore lose because of how the Dems framed it, or did he lose because "It is the candidate's job to sell hiimself?"

Does the tax bill follow the same set of rules?

[DebinGA]

Moore reminded me of "Segregation forever" AL Gov. George Wallace - publicly defying legal orders while surrounded by cameras, glorying in being the center of attention, holier than thou to the point of using God's name in vain imo. Affirming him with my vote would have been very hard.

[Old Lurker]

If Trump supported no one and Jones breezed into DC during the 2018 session, the tax bill would have been a slam dunk in 2017.

[Steve Earle Song Ideas]

If media had no interest in Dems discussing 'wet work' I can't expect much from them with re. to FBI agents discussing 'insurance policies' in case Trump won.

Trumps tweets, though, have changed the game. Maybe a trap should be set?

Good Morning OL, I've never asked about open space on your ledge, because I'm going down fighting. I have a 16 year old to think about.

I'm sure he already knows. ANYONE who backs McConnell cannot judge character.

[Dave (in MA)]

henry, Despite what Fauxcahontas is bleating about, Jones doesn't get a say in anything until the AL Sec. State certifies the election with a deadline of Jan. 3rd. If they can get their act together and pass the tax bill before that, the election won't affect it.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

GUS,

We are stuck with McConnell until the next time they choose majority leader, unless he resigns due to illness or something.

There is no way most of those jellyfish in the Senate would overthrow him as leader right now. For one thing, he probably has dirt on a lot of them.

What we have to hope is that McConnell wants this tax reform aas the crowning achievement of his career, that he can hold the majority (even if it means using what dirt he has on Corker and Flake), and the thing will get passed.

I am all for a new leader in the next Congress. I wish we had a senator more like Mick Mulvaney that could take the position.

[henry]

Dave, the dancing Rinos will perform past New Years. No vote until Jones is in place, then it fails in the Senate. (or they fail it sooner-- makes no difference to Mitch saving the EU from US competitive advantage).

[Old Lurker]

There is pressure building already that no vote should occur on anything as important as a Tax Bill until the Senate reflects the will of the people including those who voted yesterday.

Even if "Leadership" wants to ram it through only a couple of Flakes and McCains can force that outcome by signalling they will vote no pending Jones' seating.

Bill O'Reilly: Secret Tape Exists Of Woman Offered $200K To File Sexual Harassment Charges Against Trump

O'Reilly: There is a tape, Beck, an audio tape of an anti-Trump person offering $200,000 to a woman to accuse Donald Trump of untoward behavior.

Beck: Is this tape going to be released?

O'Reilly: I may have to go to the US Attorney myself. I don't wanna have to do that and inject myself into the story, but I had my lawyer listen to the tape. He's listened to it. There are at least three crimes on the tape. So as a citizen, I may have to do this.

Beck: I will tell you Bill, the first thing that you say - well I'm trying to get it, I'm trying to get it so it can be released. You weren't talking about getting it for YOU to release it, but it had to be out there. And I think the first time I said to you, I mean, if they don't - you've gotta bring it to the US Attorney.

O'Reilly: Again, it's in the hands of someone who knows the seriousness of the situation.

Beck: What is their hesitancy?

O'Reilly: You know, I can't really get into that at this point. But I can tell you that Donald Trump knows about the tape. And I'm, for the life of me, sitting here going "Why on earth are you allowing a movement to try to smear you when you have a powerful - and I mean it's powerful - piece of evidence that shows that this is an industry. That there are false charges and money changing hands." It's so frustrating but I wanted your listeners to know it, it's there, it's amazing, and it will change the whole discussion if it ever gets out.

Remember that talk about Mike Flynn and the “so-called Giglio material”.

Herr Mueller could possibly have compromised the entire “special counsel” investigation depending what he knew about Strzok.

[Extraneus]

According to the article, he also mentioned this to Newsmax 6 weeks ago. My memory ain't what it used to be but I don't remember hearing about that.

[Comanche Voter]

I kinda liked Moore--he said what he thought, and as a candidate against a box stock abortion supporting Democrat (is there any other kind) I'd have no trouble in voting against the Dem. That's not necessarily a vote FOR Moor--more against Jones.

That said the Washington GOP deserves a thorough trashing here. They are full of more buffalo "chips" than a herd of bull buffalo.

[Robin, 10 Square Miles of crazy....]

I want to go back to the surgeon who sent emails to then Sec of State Clinton after landing in Haiti to volunteer and finding the CF hadn’t spent a dime there. The authorities are treating it like a suicide when he was home alone with his 11 year old daughter (the age of my daughter, btw) and supposedly stabbed himself in the chest with a knife.

Have you ever heard of someone committing suicide that way?

[Robin, 10 Square Miles of crazy....]

I find myself more upset than I generally get about the AL vote. How did Democrats manage to turn out so many people? Why do black Americans vote against their own interests? Illegal immigration has been completely debilitating to their situation, yet they vote for the people who advocate open borders again and again. What percentage of abortions have been minorities? How do they not know the history of abortion?

Ugh. So depressing.

pagar:

Yes, it appears the Dems are going to keep Franken under that bus until it runs him over. I find the timing of the story leaking into the press on Franken's departure suggestive. Question would be, though, when was the selection actually leaked? If it was leaked early Tuesday -- when there was not a lot of expectation that Jones would win -- this might have been a way to make a reluctant Franken go through with his promise to quit.

[henry]

Franken isn't quitting. He cheated lenders in his Air America thing, he cheated voters getting elected, and he's cheating now with the fake resignation.

And, if #me too goes the way of Bitcoin (oops, getting ahead of myself, there), he can run again as a victim of the vast right-wing conspiracy. Hey, it worked for Roy...

Oh yeah.

But I think he preserves enough of his political credibility if he leaves now, and perhaps waits for some of the sexual harassment fever to pass. If he becomes a locus of frustration of the #metoo crowd, he is done, and his financial prospects for the future will suffer.

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

A good question to ask Ryan is why it only got stopped when the public found out about it.

How many other dodgy finds are lurking in the House budget? Do we have one for paying traffic tickets? Is there a special fund to help members who owe taxes? How about a fund for hush-hush treatment of STD's?

No special funds. I want them all gone. And I want someone to ask Ryan why that fund has lasted on his watch.

All medical plans cover STDs, and that information is confidential under Federal Law. There's no compelling national interest in releasing that info.

Settlements to people working in Congressional offices -- that's a completely different matter.

[Frau Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen]

A stealth campaign by the dems as we surmised. I'm sure it started in the primary. This from the Stassinopoulos Post:

This reticence was strategic. They didn’t want Jones, who was running in a state that is heavily Republican, to be burdened by his association with the national Democratic Party. The focus was supposed to stay on him and his Alabama message. So there were no TV ads paid for by party committees and no high-profile transfers of funds to the campaign.

When Republican Roy Moore or President Donald Trump tried to turn Jones into a puppet of Democratic leaders, it was harder to make the attack stick.

Behind the scenes, however, Democrats were heavily involved.

The Democratic National Committee invested nearly $1 million in the Alabama race, focused on organizing and mobilizing. The party also sent paid staffers to the state to help out, particularly in engaging African-American and millennial voters.

Deathbed Wishes:

Doug Pender lived all his life in the Florida Keys and is on his deathbed
and knows the end is near.

His nurse, his wife, his daughter and two sons, are with him….

He asks for two witnesses to be present and a camcorder be in place to
record his last wishes, and when all is ready he begins to speak:

“My son, Bernie, I want you to take the Ocean Reef houses.”

“My daughter Sybil, you take the apartments between mile markers 100 and
Tavernier.”

“My son, Jamie, I want you to take the offices over in the Marathon
Government Center.”

“Sarah, my dear wife, please take all the residential buildings on the
bayside on Blackwater Sound.”

The nurse and witnesses are blown away as they did not realize his extensive
holdings, and as Doug slips away, the nurse says, “Mrs.
Pender, your husband must have been such a hard-working man to have
accumulated all this property.”

The wife replies, “The asshole had a paper route.”

[Miss Marple the Deplorable]

Appalled,

All medical plans cover Alzheimer's drugs as well. Of course, the gals who fill your prescriptions might not go to the papers, but they will gossip among themselves and it might leak out.

This is the exact same thing with STD medications. Yes, medical plans will cover the meds. But you cannot control gossip, and word leaks out. So like Extraneus, I think there is a slush fund for STD meds, just like they have a secret fund for Alzheimer's.

Just because you write a law doesn't mean everyone will follow it. See Jack Ryan of Illinois, whose divorce records were sealed but somehow leaked to the press.

[henry]

Not just gossip. Look at the GAB holding illegally seized email records of State Sen Vukmir and her daughter discussing medical issues.

Then consider hackers, or evil insiders. The Awans have all the info, and copied everything to offsite servers. (sold to which enemies via ISI?).

[Appalled]

Miss M:

Slush funds like that have a large number of enablers, some of whom may gossip (and some of whom seem to have Pakistani citizenship and awkward laptops). It's actually better to bury reimbursements in a large, general purpose program, where it is difficult to tell who is getting what.

It wouldn't have been hard for me. The alternative is a guy who supports late term abortion and would vote against every single element of the Trump agenda. And crow and gloat while doing it.

I'm disappointed in Alabama Republicans. I can only guess that people didn't understand the risks of their non-Moore vote or not voting at all. I'm sure there are some silver linings, but this emboldens both the left and Team Mitch McSabotage.

I'm not as worried as most of you about Moore's loss. First of all it puts a dent in the dems plan to say they are the party of purity. Secondly it screws Al Franken, and 3rdly Jones has only got 2 years.

Smith, after working for General Mills, launched her own public relations firm and served as VP for Public Affairs for Planned Parenthood of Minnesota. VP of Public Affairs really means "top lobbyist." She was a registered lobbyist on the state level, state lobbying reports show.

In that time, according to news reports, she lobbied against informed consent laws for mothers and one-day waiting periods for abortions.
