Umm, does anyone believe that child molestation is bad enough to change a Republicans mind?

DO you think it's enough to push 51% of Alabamans to vote for a man who sent a KKK member to prison for killing 4 little black girls?

I believe that most Republicans in Alabama believe the KKK sentence is a bigger deal - A bigger negative factor

2. There was a time I'd have said yes.

That whole "Dead girl or live boy" standard is really starting to get real, though.

3. Maybe not

But we need to fight for this seat and make the Republicans show themselves for what they are.

4. If this pedophile is elected to office there needs to be repercussions.

Every organization in America needs to announce they will nevermore schedule any conventions or public events in the state. People need to write the Chamber of Commerce to inform them they will never vacation or spend one dime there. Truckers and all motorists need to take detours through Arkansas to avoid buying any fuel there. Football teams need to boycott playing the Crimson Tide. All economic commerce needs to end until that pervert is recalled.

5. They would pounce in a heartbeat if he were a Democrat. n/t

[The Polack MSgt]

7. Of course they would

If there is no scandal in a Democrats background they make some up.

If there is horrendous behavior or even actual crimes in a Republican's past it is covered up or denied or minimized.

Fuck those guys forever and ever - amen

6. Even kf Roy Moore committed cold blooded murder with his handgun........

With witnesses watching, the witnesses would say it was self defense even though the murdered was unarmed. People would still vote for Roy Moore.

Sad.

8. If it meant maintaining control

Repugs would endorse satan himself, saying they'd repudiate him 'if all those things are true.'

[NotASurfer]

9. It depends on the Republican

Last time he was in a statewide election it would have taken a 2% swing to elect a Democrat

So if I suppose no Democrat in Alabama changes their vote, I think the question boils down to whether at least 2% of Alabama Repubs are reachable, or alternatively maybe 4% are so unhappy with their choices that they either stay home or vote 3rd party.

10. Only if it was a man molesting a boy

[Mariana]

11. They don't believe it happened.

As long as they can perform enough mental gymnastics to convince themselves he could be innocent, they'll continue to support him. And, he knows this.

12. Just read these responses to an al.com article.

My state is sick, very sick.
