Wow! Alabama Political Reporter: There is no bottom for Roy Moore Republicans

http://www.alreporter.com/2017/11/10/no-bottom-roy-moore-republicans/

Maybe there is no rock bottom for the Alabama Republican Party.

Maybe it’s just that mushy mud that you find on the bottom of the Tennessee River, and the ALGOP just keeps burrowing deeper and deeper into the muck and filth.

Thursday brought on a new bout of digging, with a familiar face behind the shovel.

Roy Moore. The ever-constant posterboy for what is wrong in Alabama politics.

Too much Bible thumping. Too much holier-than-thou. Too much greed. Too much law breaking. Too much self-involvement.

-snip-

Within minutes, national Republican leadership was calling on Moore to step aside, if the allegations are true.

In Alabama, there was a decidedly different response — justification. Like a bunch of naive moms, Alabama’s brainwashed politicos came rushing to the defense of the guy with an R by his name.

What’s it going to take, Alabama voter?

What’s it going to take before you realize that your family values, my-sin-is-better-than-your-sin, conservative voting approach has produced a state government filled with lying, cheating, sexually assaulting, money-grubbing criminals who have embarrassed us countless times, and on top of everything, mismanaged the hell out of this place?

They are totally able to differentiate between right and wrong.
Truth or fiction.

I understand there is intelligent life in Huntsville, but they put a NASA facility there as part of their research program into developing methods of finding it.

"posterboy for what is wrong in Alabama politics".

That and the people of that state who think he's the second coming, are why Alabama is near the bottom of every social list. I don't want to dance on the political grave Alabama has been digging for it's self, but they should be grateful that Mississippi makes them look rational.

I know there are many progressives in those states, especially near metropolises, but obviously they hold a sad minority of the general population. Admittedly, they've come a long from when I was young.

It's about time somebody started asking these questions?

What’s it going to take, Alabama voter?
