I'm speaking more about the people who you grew up around. You knew that. I assumed that you were defending them and not the spoiled and entitled crowd. Maybe you are an East Coast Elite at heart. Sad!


I’m not defending anyone, but where I grew up certainly is a desolate, crime-ridden shell of its former self. I don’t blame the people there for wanting to give a middle finger to the system. It won’t help them because the reality is that a global economy has made their skills worth virtually nothing. But they’re still allowed to hope even if it’s a futile effort... just as people in the inner city are.

Moore is obviously going to win--it would be surprising if he won by fewer than 10 points. Thankfully at least one realist among us is concerned about the safety of the Senate pages once he arrives in DC.

http://thehill.com/homenews/house/36427 ... ges-if-roy

In a Dec. 8 letter to the Senate Sergeant at Arms, the congresswoman writes of her “urgent concern” for the safety of Senate pages if Moore is elected.
“Being away from home puts these young people in a very vulnerable position,” Moore writes in the letter. “The nature of life on Capitol Hill necessitates long hours in close proximity to lawmakers and staff that can create power dynamics of which young people are not fully aware.”
“It would be unconscionable for Congress to not be vigilant and proactive in taking precautions to safeguard these children given the well sourced allegations against Roy Moore,” she continues.

In a speech tonight, Mrs. Roy Moore confronted allegations that they don't like Jewish people by noting that they "have a lawer who is a J.ew"

I have a FB friend, from Alabama, who happens to be a pretty serious RW nut job...even he thinks Moore is a complete piece of shit. He's currently arguing with an off the deepend woman who is a giant Trump and Moore fan. She's convinced Moore is being smeared, that there's zero truth to the underage dating story.

This woman actually has a countdown to Armageddon clock on her FB wall.

It's kinda fascinating.

Quote:
Judge Moore never had anyone in his years as a jurist accuse him of an immoral act. I’m sure his life has been reviewed many times in his rise as a jurist to see if he was fit for the job. No one has ever found him unfit or his moral character questioned. ONLY when he runs against a liberal Democrat is he smeared. Sounds a lot like the Hillary Clinton playbook? So sad there are wicked people in this world who try to destroy some one for their own personal and political gain. His being a bold Christian makes him a target for the forces of darkness. I pray the people of Alabama will vote for this good man.


Quote:
I love President Trump more today than yesterday but not as much as tomorrow!


Quote:
Concerning Jerusalem becoming the capital of Israel and the relocation of the US Embassy there…

The Hands on God’s End-Time Prophetic Clock just moved forward to seconds before midnight and the end of this Age.

And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption (apolutrosis: liberation) draweth nigh. Lu 21:28

Buddy of mine uses the same thinking when talking about Moore.

"In all his years this never came up. Not saying it can't be true. Just surprising it's never come up."

Makes me chuckle.

Remind him about Strom Thurmond and the love child not publicly acknowledged until after his death. But known about in "polite" southern circles for years

It certainly is.

Drive through middle America sometime rather than taking a flight. It's basically ghost towns with a few decent places that have power plants or maybe a big insurance company.

A look at census numbers over the years is depressing. And as bad as the towns are the countryside is emptying out too. I can’t even count the empty and torn down homes in my township. An old neighbor told me he could stand on his front porch and see where 10 houses once stood.

sad driving through such places. sad architecturally, culturally, economically....the constant eroding of the sense of community is what gets me the most.

People act like judicial races vet anywhere close to the amount that is performed for local dog catcher. The bar associations are really the only one's vetting and they aren't doing any digging. They are looking at your professional life.

I heard on NPR today the thought process of Alabama voters. Moore voters are largely voting for him based on abortion. They also voted for Trump, who has had an inconsistent stand on abortion but I'm sure they weren't single issue voters in that instance.

well, what is the latest? They have exit polls or anything?

A Dem taking that seat would be awesome just for the entertainment value alone.

that's true. that's the history of the south side, right there. communities exclude people, and it's ugly when they do. still, you can work to improve a faulty community, but there's no cure for a community that's vanished.

Remember we can't laugh at him if we want to change his heart. He's on the edge of his seat looking for a viable Muslim alternative.

Credible source reporting 90-minute waits, long lines in predominantly black precinct in Mobile with only one person verifying IDs. Shorter wait times in predominantly white areas. Can anyone verify?
