    Yes, KC can have a devilishly dry sense of humor that sometimes may be undetected by the casual reader. DD, who sits in front of 2 monitors typing simultaneously with 2 hands on 2 keyboards while posting in 2 forums (DD is mentally fluid - that's meant as a compliment, I think), can on occasion miss subtle nuances favored by big cats with an intellectual bent.

    You gotta dig into the fur for the details, DD. Just look out for the bugs. They can be blood thirsty.

    I guess I'll put this hear. The extreme left and the extreme right deserve each other.

    Let's see the Socialists Association won't vote for Doug Jones in Alabama. If I was Doug Jones I would use this in my advertizing.

    Some voters are just idiots, if she thinks Moore in senate is better for her than Jones in the senate, she needs her head examed.

    And that's part of the reason we have Trump.

    Hey, you know who wants less Medicare and less wage increases? The party you are helping to elect by not voting. Congrats on the principle. Your principles is what is going to kill net neutrality and usher in one of the worst tax cuts of all time. Congratulations.

    Leaving aside the pedophilia accusations against Roy Moore his comments that the last time America was great was when we had slavery, his comments about doing away with all of the Amendments after the Bill Of Rights (which would include the 13th that did away with slavery and the 14th for equal protection) should rule him out as being a US Senator.

    Roy Moore in 2011: Getting rid of amendments after 10th would 'eliminate many problems'
    Alabama Republican Senate nominee Roy Moore appeared on a conspiracy-driven radio show twice in 2011, where he told the hosts in an interview that getting rid of constitutional amendments after the Tenth Amendment would 'eliminate many problems' in the way the US government is structured.

    Alabama's special election for Senate, in which Moore is facing Democrat Doug Jones, will be held Tuesday. Moore's controversial views on a variety of subjects -- including homosexuality, Islam, and evolution -- have come into sharper focus in the final days of the campaign, even as Moore has had to deal with multiple accusations from women who say that he sexually assaulted or pursued relationships with them as teenagers when he was in his 30s. Moore has denied all allegations.
    Moore also faced criticism for comments he made in September at a campaign rally. According to the Los Angeles Times, when asked by a black member of the audience when he thought the last time America was great, Moore answered, "I think it was great at the time when families were united — even though we had slavery — they cared for one another. Our families were strong, our country had a direction."

    Not even Alabama's senior senator voted for Roy Moore.

    Shelby says Alabama can 'do better' than elect Moore in last-minute push

    Sen. Richard Shelby, R- Ala., came out swinging Sunday, saying his state can “do better” than elect Senate hopeful Roy Moore and suggested that people should write-in another candidate.

    Shelby, the state’s senior senator, said he already cast an absentee ballot for another unspecified Republican.

    The Republican Party supports Moore, whose campaign has been damaged by accusations of sexual misconduct with underage girls decades ago when he was a county prosecutor.

    Moore is facing Democrat Doug Jones in the special election on Tuesday to replace Jeff Sessions, who vacated his Senate seat when President Trump appointed him the U.S. attorney general.

    “I couldn’t vote for Roy Moore. I didn’t vote for Roy Moore. But I wrote in a distinguished Republican name. And I think a lot of people could do that,” Shelby said during a television appearance.

    The accusations of sexual misconduct with teenage girls were a “tipping point” in disqualifying Moore from becoming a senator, according to the senior politician.

    That is kind of the point . .. . she cannot see past those 3 things.
    It's ridiculous. . . .
    It's like saying you won't take the life saving medicine because it isn't red, doesn't taste good and I prefer a pill to a liquid. . . . .

    I mean .. you not taking the poison but you doing to die all the same .. . . .
    So Poison wins . . meets its goal of you dying . . . either way

    So it's inaccurate to said Moore is anti US Constitution. He just doesn't like the current version of it and want to go back to when it was great. #MAGA Part 2. Wonder what Part 3 looks like?

    Seems a bit tepid. Given his platform, he could name and campaign for his write-in and push more votes. Saying only that he voted for some other Republican allows him to avoid responsibility for Moore without doing much to hurt Moore's chances.

    Traditional Republicans should make a new party, and use the rhino as their mascot.

    From that video:
    " a lot of mommas that would be thrilled that their 14 yr old daughters would be getting hit on by a district attorney."
    please tell me this isn't real. It's a script.
