#1 Who are these people, these so-called voters, and what do their wishes matter ? [sarc off]

The ~~45 year old accusations~~ ...'week old accusations' (corrected per Rob at #4) right or wrong, I am now WELL BEYOND these questions. The rights of the voter and our democracy has eclipsed this tawdry issue, along with it's bringers.

#2 They believe that they're above the law, and that they, not the voters, know best. Lamppost and rope time for all these so-called public servants.

#4 They're not 45-year-old accusations; they're week-old accusations of events 45 years ago. There's no historical support for them.

A very salient point. Correction made. Thanks Rob.

#5 the Alabama Republican Party can formally pull its support for its Senate nominee Judge Roy Moore, and if this happens and Moore still gets the most votes, the election would be null and void.

Wait a minute "Who decides elections? It's the voters--right?"

I don't know much about Moore but it seems like momentum is building from ~~both~~ the uniparty for him being toast.

#6 Its my understanding that he's much like Trump - which explains why the uniparty hates him so much.

#7 We had accusations back in '92, didn't stop the Donks electing such man. Why should anyone be bothered now? Yes, that's right, its all about power.

#8 I guess they, the rulers, got the voters' mood right.

#9 both Trump and McConnell supported Luther Strange in the primary

I personally like Luther Strange just because of his name - its part DC, part Marvel

#10 I don't think there's any question this is a hit job. Nor do I think there's any question Moore will be ousted one way or another.

I simply hope Moore sues his accuser's. There's a high standard of malicious intent needed for public figures, but this? When the stories fall apart, this will meet those requirements.

#11 That signature looks suspect. It's written with two pen inks.

#12 It's all about Morals.

He may have kissed the Girls instead of raping them or drowning them in the Chappaquiddick River.

#14 I am sorry, but if the State GOP pulls support for Moore, then he would be running as an Independent, no?

Also, what Alabama law permits nullification of an election if 'the wrong person won it?' What would constitute 'wrong'? What would keep the Democrats from nullifying the election of 'the wrong people'? Please cite statute and section, Mr. Merrill, or be silent.

#15 I've come to not believe anything the Donks or Rinos say. I'd do just the opposite of what they say.

#18 Reminds me of all the shenanigans to stop Trump from getting the nom, then the win, then electors' votes, then the final cert in January.

Hopefully Capt. O'Hagan won't shoot me for saying "shenanigans".

#19 The Wrong Republicans would rather lose the seat than see it go to a Real Republican.
