"What I think is that it was illegal under the law, that the Supreme Court usurped the role of the legislature and ruled something about our moral law that is improper, and that's what we're finding the Supreme Court and the federal district courts are doing daily," Moore responded. "They've usurped the moral prerogative, now, if you want--"

Press cut in, saying, "I don't understand your answer. I think it's a yes or no. Do you think that homosexual--homosexuality, or homosexual conduct should be illegal today? That's a yes or no question."

"Homosexual conduct should be illegal, yes," Moore answered.

I don't like Antifa but how are these people any different? This man sat on the Alabama Supreme Court, can you imagine?

He won a primary and Bannon, Trump's former Chief adviser did everything in his power to get him elected.

Despite Trump’s opposition, a number of fervent Trump supporters and former White House staffers had backed Moore. These include former chief strategist Steve Bannon, who told voters at a rally for Moore that “a vote for Judge Roy Moore is a vote for Donald J Trump”, and housing and urban development secretary Ben Carson, who issued a statement of praise for Moore on Friday.

Well, I agree with Bannon. A vote for Moore is a vote for Trump.

But Trump didn't support Moore, he supported Strange. How does Trump feel about Moore?

“I told Luther, and I have to say this, if his opponent wins, I’m going to be here campaigning like hell for him,”

Donald Trump: I?ll Be ?Campaigning Like Hell? for Roy Moore If He Beats Luther Strange

I'm so glad conservatives, Moore, Trump and Bannon are out there fighting for freedom like true patriots.

We'll defeat these bigots because we're on the right side.
 
Sounds like a Right Wing theocratic asshole, who doesn't respect the courts or the Constitution.

However I just saw him on Chuck Todd's show ("MTP Daily" on MSNBC), and he handled the interview well and came off as reasonable. Well, at least for one 5 minute interview.
 
Alabama has given us Jeff Session, Luther Strange and now Judge Moore. Remind me of the last line in the Michener film "The Bridges at Toko-Ri", Frederick March's character says 'where do we get such men as these?"



Sorry for the video/audio synch!
 
This to me is America in a nutshell. It's almost non-controversial that we would still elect people to govern who hold such abhorrent views. And yet a good portion of the population is screaming about a few football players kneeling during an anthem and tiny minority of thugs breaking windows on a college campus.

In the first 2 minutes he says that homosexualiy should be illegal. He defends Texas' anti-Sodomy law which made it ILLEGAL even in the privacy of your own home. This man is the next senator from Alabama. Trump promised to "campaign like hell" for him.

How can we doubt the bigotry of this administration? Things are really bad in this country, not because of the rise of these nutjobs but the apathy and squabbling among liberals. We need to unite against these bigots.

These people always claim to be defenders of the constitution and champions of freedom while being the total opposite. They want freedom for people like them--White Christians. It's hard to expose them because they'll deny it. But here you see them exposed for what they are.

Notice how conservatives are silent. Trump promised to campaign like hell for a JUDGE who insisted that homosexual acts should be illegal. Trump wants this man to be Senator and Bannon, who was Trump's Chief Strategist, did everything to get Roy Moore elected.

But when liberals accuse Trump and Bannon of bigotry and exploiting bigotry they deny it. But here it is as plain as day.

Should we throw out some examples of the racist loons that Dems. have repeatedly elected?? Maxine Watters alone would balance out this twit.

No deflecting. Feel free to start a thread about Maxine Watters. She's not a senator. Any loon can get into Congress. I agree she's a loon but I'm skeptical of your claims that she's racist.

If you agree that Moore is a twit, why would Bannon be supporting him? Why did Trump say he would campaign for him?

Would Moore defend American freedom? I guess Moore is a patriotic American defending the constitution?
 
Congratulations to those of you in Alabama who support Roy Moore. His popularity makes Alabama a less attractive state for me.

Nonetheless, if Rep. Terri Sewell extends a warm and sincere invitation to visit her in Alabama, I just might come!

I think she would qualify for the watered down label of racist we see thrown around.

Twits sticking together.

Party over country same reason people on the left who though Hillary was a twit campaigned for her. Same reason many in our country vote party line above anything else.

Probably not. It will come down to who will piss on the constitution and freedom the most. Moore or his opponent.

I'm not a Alabama resident I don't have a say in who they send, just get to deal with the consequences
 
I think they are silent because the enemy of their enemy is still their friend. I highly doubt that your average Conservative gives a squirt about gay rights. It's about money and power. They say all the right things to mobilize their hateful, ignorant constituents, but it's only to consolidate political power and further their agenda of lower taxes for the rich and to make sure corporations can continue to rape and pillage at will.

It's a brilliant strategy. I will give them that.

But now they're having trouble controlling the hateful people they used.

The man is a bat**** crazy, fundamentalist believer in magic. Mentally unsound, he hates the rule of law and is in no way fit for the US Senate.

IOW, perfect for the clowns in Alabama. They deserve him.

While I love the idea of throwing out Maxine Waters, Republicans should in no way aspire to match Democrats with their own version of her.

Personally, Roy Moore is a bridge too far for me with his aggressive social conservationism, seeming lack of awareness on some economic issues, and his stance on protectionism.
 
We all understand I hope that the Senate just got worse, and it really sucked yesterday.

Have you forgotten that in the Senate he impacts your life as well?

No, I haven't. That makes him ever worse. The man is lower than the dog feces under Christ's sandals.

He's a theocratic lunatic with no business anywhere outside of a city manager election.
 
I thought GOP voters liked Trump...but in Alabama they roundly rejected a candidate that he not only endorsed but campaigned for.

So perhaps this was more of a vote against Trump than it was a vote for Roy Moore.

It was also interesting to note in that it pitted Trump against Bannon...and look who won.
 
I can understand why many don't like the guy and this he is too polarizing. My suggestion is to run someone against him in Dec who doesn't crawl up every radical leftist rear, but rather has the common man in mind. Complain about Moore all you want, just offer a better alternative when you have the chance.

I know how Bannon is saying that the Rebellion elected him and all but how low are we going to go?

The Senate just got worse.

It sucked yesterday.

BIGGLY

Trump was careful not to really oppose Moore. Trump sounded like someone forced him to support Luther. Did you hear that bizarre endorsement speech Trump gave Luther?

Again, Bannon said "A vote for Moore is a vote for Trump." The crowd loved it.

As this clod is in the Senate now, and no one can blame Trump for that, and he will be a very very loyal Trump Party Senator.

Sounds like Trump won to me.

Is Carrot Top Next?

Quality is in decline.

I'm glad you admit that Moore is a fool and enemy of freedom but what about the majority of Republicans in Alabama who voted for him?
