Say it loud and say it proud: Roy Moore for president.
He may not be tanned (too much time in TV studios), and he may not be rested, what with the speeches God has called him to give, but he's ready. And while he might seem like just another Bible-brandishing freak from the state that gave us George Wallace and Johnnie Byrd, he may also be the answer to Democrats' prayers.
Roy Moore, you will recall, is the ex-chief justice of the Alabama Supreme Court. He was kicked out of his job for refusing to remove a 21/2-ton boulder with the Ten Commandments carved on it from the middle of the Alabama Judicial Building. Ever since then, Moore's supporters have been descending on Montgomery, prostrating themselves on the Capitol steps, praying that the nation will turn from godlessness to, well, Judge Moore, and following him to Ten Commandments pep rallies all over the country to holler their support and ask for his autograph. They're like Dead Heads crossed with Taliban.
There aren't that many of them, but they are committed. The current regime has alienated them. "Why Christians Should Not Vote for George W. Bush," a recent essay on IntellectualConservative.com, praises Moore and tears a strip off Bush for tolerating baby killers, sodomites, feminazis, and the socialist Jews controlling Hollywood. Mooreites don't see a dime's worth of difference between the Republicans and the Democrats. They want to vote for somebody who thinks like them. Even if he can't win. Even if he were to play the spoiler.
Sound familiar? Ralph Nader and his small but significant band of unthinking
