Josh Moon's unbelievable article about Roy Moore

This is just disgusting:

Two of those county chairmen — Bibb County’s Jerry Pow and Covington County’s William Blocker — actually told Dale that they’d vote for Moore over Doug Jones even if they had hard evidence that Moore committed sexual assault.

Even. If. They. Had. Proof.

Forty percent are democrats. Forty Nine percent are Pukes. Now..here is the key to the election.

If the Republican ladies, believe the lady, and not the liar and vote to believe what the ladies know to be true, then the predator/ liar Roy Moore ...looses for sure....It is that simple

. The ladies in Alabama know how hard it must have been to come forward and say what was said, and if enough of them vote for the truth, and not a political party, then Moore hasn't got a chance. Moore thinks he can con the ladies, but it is up to them, not us or Moore. An arrogant asshole like Moore, got away with this before, and he is sure that he can get away with lying again. And he is so sure, that it makes me want to puke

... But we will see what happens, it ain't up to me, I don't live in Alabama. It really is up to the ladies in Alabama to decide if he becomes a senator. We will see.

7. It's not just fellow politicians sticking up for Moore either, "regular folks" too...

Someone named Carroll Bryant (?) tweeted this morning
"I'd rather have a pedophile in office rather than a democrat any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Pedophiles only screw kids while democrats screw everyone."

<snip>

We’re terrible as a state. We’re near the bottom in public education, medical care, infrastructure, economy and upward mobility and at the top in infant mortality, poverty, obesity and political corruption.

Our budgets are consistently a mess — we’re going to have to magically find $100 million somewhere next year — and our state services are so underfunded that they’re all but worthless. We’re short on troopers, courthouse workers, road crews, maintenance personnel and teachers.

This is what the Roy Moore Republican Party has brought Alabama.

A government built on greed and hatefulness, on shunning anything different and thumbing our nose at any hint of progress.

These people have convinced you that this is all some sort of a grand game, where we win by our chosen party maintaining control, instead of winning by electing men and women who best represent the actual interests of the people.

9. All of the defenses of Moore (et al) are exposing just how much they devalue women. They shouldn't

be governing if they do not value female constituents and female colleagues. That goes for any politician that doesn't value the makeup of their base.
