| When on Earth Are We Going to Learn?! |
| 2017-11-16 |
| When, folks?! When are we going to learn?! That is the question that I ask myself as Republicans and conservatives lash out against Judge Roy Moore, with accusations and venom that I have never seen wielded against the Obamas, the Reids, and the Pelosis. For (at least) the past decade, the Democratic playbook has been to win elections by bringing up personal sins to destroy their opponents with, whether real, perhaps exaggerated (Obama adversary Jack Ryan), or imaginary ‐ i.e., fake (Herman Cain, Mitt Romney, etc etc etc...) I'm sorry, I have no earthly idea where Roy Moore fits in and, more to the point, I don't know how on earth Moore's foes (Democrat or ‐ especially ‐ Republican) know that he is indisputably guilty, and that of being nothing less, it seems, than one of the most disgusting and despicable people alive. All I can say is that I remember similar accusations against Herman Cain in 2012, by one Sharon Bialek, who by an amazing coincidence, happened to live in the exact same apartment building of one of America's largest cities as one of Obama's closest associates (David Axelrod)... Meanwhile, the Democrats' own transgressions are passed over (where possible, Bob Menendez, Bill Clinton, and members of the Kennedy clan have been mostly ignored). In the leftists' case, they are, at best, romanticized (Jack, Robert, and Ted Kennedy), and at worst, dismissed with a shrug and the words, "it's only sex". If Republicans like Mitch McConnell cannot restrain themselves from making comments about Roy Moore not being fit to serve in the Senate and deserving to be expelled, couldn't they at least have paused to wonder why the sex scandal, by an amazing coincidence, happened to erupt after the Alabama judge was chosen to run for the state's Senate seat and not during any of Moore's past 20 years of often controversial public service? And while he was at it, couldn't the Senate majority leader at least have mentioned Bob Menendez in the same breath?! Here’s the clincher: Are you willing to believe the double standards of democrat drama queens and allow a party to return to power which wants to raise ever more taxes, relax border controls to allow illegal immigrants to pour across the Rio Grande, bringing everybody's salaries down in the process, order judges to inject politics in the public restroom area, and fine citizens $135,000 for refusing to bake a cake? Virtue signalling is a way of life - and, if you don't join the mob, you can be mobbed yourself. |

| #17 What Moore has going for him with Evangelicals is that they know everyone is a sinner, but it is them who are forgiven sinners. Therefore, he'll get their vote. |

| #16 And the cat is just doing its job (chasing small stuff that doesn’t belong there). The GOPe; not so much. |

| #15 Let's hope they show up in larger numbers at the polls because right now, likely voters have Moore down by 8 and his negatives have almost doubled since this broke. Sexual scandal does no play well with evangelicals, which is why the press is using it. |

| #14 Moore is hanging tough. His supporters are mostly rural and evangelical and spread across AL. They are like Trump supporters--they believe in him. |

| #13 One of the funniest things I've ever seen is my cat chasing that little red laser dot. Republicans? Not so funny. |

| #11 Have a look at the comment I made in Daily Depraved digest and let's see how the MSM handles pictural evidence of Al Franken abusing a sleeping woman. |

| #10 Well, I told you so last week. Moore has one thing going for him against his opponent: he is not a Democrat. |

| #9 It's simple. Menendez is in the GOPeDNC party and Moore is in the Trump party. |

| #4 No it doesn't: the guy clearly says "play the game, or die - suckers". |

| #3 Don't know how I got Black mixed up in this. The observation still does apply to him, and regrettably to this No Pasaran post also. I always thought he was more clear eyed. |

| #2 Wrong post, MM - this is NoPasaran |

| #1 Black is urbane and erudite, but his constant refrain that - any minute now - common sense, rationality, fair play and justice are going to prevail is just a case of stretching the Silly Puttyâ„¢ waaaaay past the breaking point. |
