Luther Strange and Roy Moore in a runoff? What are you all smoking over there??!!
It boggles the mind. So I have to choose between voting for a candidate I do not respect Vs. voting for a candidate I do not respect. Neither has shown the ethics of a mushroom. It's a dilemma. You may have to hold your nose a vote for Strange. IMO Moore is a toy short of a Happy Meal. If need be, I can send you a little something to smoke before voting. I can see the giggles now: "I'm voting for strange"

I will not vote for Moore, for this race or any other.
So it amounts to either voting for Strange, who I cannot stomach, or sitting out the runoff entirely, which indirectly benefits Moore.
No need for medicinal enhancements, I've already been mentally preparing myself to vote for Strange.
Wish me luck. Just typing the words makes me nauseous.

IMO Moore is a toy short of a Happy Meal. Moore is definitely a few peas short of a casserole. I've often wondered if there's a village out there looking for him.

Roy Moore won by 10 points. Now what are ya'll going to do?
I'm curious. What is it that you folks don't like about Moore? He's had the courage to take principled conservative stands on religious freedom and against the federal court's despicable totalitarian mandate on faux marriage despite the risks of losing his position and career.
I hope he wins in December and shakes up the D.C. establishment.

He was ousted from the State Supreme Court twice. Not exactly a pillar of the legal community. Just sayin.

They have assumed powers that are not theirs to take. Moore stood on far firmer Constitutional ground than either the federal courts giving him orders or the Alabama Court of the Judiciary suspending him. I'm glad someone stood against those tyrants in black robes. A religious monument and the rules for who may get married should be the business of Alabama alone; the Constitution never gave SCOTUS or the lower courts the authority to deal with such local matters. Those high and mighty judges just took the power that they wanted when Chief Justice Marshall proclaimed himself emperor of judicial review from his throne with the Marbury v. Madison decision in 1803. We have been lorded over by SCOTUS ever since. The judiciary of the United States is the subtle corps of sappers and miners constantly working underground to undermine our Constitution from a co-ordinate of a general and special government to a general supreme one alone. This will lay all things at their feet. … I will say, that “against this every man should raise his voice,” and, more, should uplift his arm … — T. Jefferson letter to Thomas Ritchie, Sept. 1820 tenthamendmentcenter.com/2012/06/04/thomas-jefferson-on-judicial-tyranny/

That's how badly I distrust Moore and how loathsome I find his politics.

So you trust the Democrat (liberals are never trustworthy), but distrust and loath a real conservative like Moore? What exactly has Roy Moore done that has generated such vitriol?

So you trust the Democrat (liberals are never trustworthy), but distrust and loath a real conservative like Moore? What exactly has Roy Moore done that has generated such vitriol? While I do not hate Moore, the man, vitriol is not without merit as to what I'm feeling towards his behavior and actions. The snapshot is this: Until I've done more research on Doug Jones, I'm uncertain whether or not I'll eventually vote for him. The word Liberal doesn't scare me; 'Extremist', however, makes my skin crawl. I'm a moderate and I will not vote for an Extremist like Moore who, in his arrogance, has decided, as a sworn member of the court, Chief Justice no less, which laws to uphold and which are unworthy of his time. Further, he has taken the law into his own hands by directing other justices on which U.S. laws should be followed or not followed. Not once, but twice, he's been thrown out of office for not affirming the very laws he was sworn to uphold. The first time he decided to go rogue several years ago, I looked at my husband and said, "He's doing this for politics. I'll bet he ends up running for Governor." It took just a couple of years to see my prediction ring true. As a Christian, I take great offense when someone loudly proclaiming to be Christian subjugates the court system and then uses it to his own political advantage. I am appalled someone so ethically challenged as Moore may be elected to a seat as powerful as the U.S. Senate. I am repulsed Moore may have the opportunity to represent Alabama when I thought we had finally graduated from the 1950's-1960's abhorrent civil liberties. It's almost as though we'd resurrected George Wallace. I am offended so many voted to re-elect Moore to the position of Chief Justice after he's made it quite clear he believes his religious views not only outweigh but should direct public policy. And now, having proven it twice, there are those who wish to see him go even higher. I am thankful Moore no longer presides over a courtroom, making a mockery of our constitution and laws. Finally, I am sickened so many in this state have so little independent thought we cannot see beyond Moore's wolf's clothing. Here's but one article where his ethics are again in question... Two-faced once Moore
