Alabamians aren’t so much supporting Moore than they are reacting to years, decades even, of our way of life being constantly under assault from popular culture – the news media, film, music, books, you name it.

Then we’ve had our political leaders rise to power through our support only to see them abandon and then betray us to the establishment and elites once in office. We’ve seen the government use the force of law, and the courts use force of decree, to change our sacred institutions and force us to act against our conscience.

"Sweet home, Alabama"...Well I hope Neil Young will remember, a Southern man don't need him around anyhow.

I agree, the south in general has been subjected to decades of slander from Hollywood, the legacy media, the D.C. swamp, etc.

But a vote for Roy Moore strikes me as a "hold my beer" reaction. Even if only 5% of the alleged behavior is true, the guy is a creep.

If the Democrats hadn't put up someone so far to the left, they would probably win it. A Donnelly type.

If this hadn't been such a poorly orchestrated transparent attempt to rig an election, they still would have gotten trounced.

Jones is the kind of candidate you run when you know you have no chance at the seat.

Richard Shelby said on the news shows this morning that Alabama deserves better than Moore.

“I think the image of anything matters,” Shelby said. “It’s not 1860. It’s not 1900. It’s not 1940. It’s not 1964 or 1965. It’s 2017. And Alabama in a lot of ways is on the cutting edge, on the cusp of a lot of good things.”

Guess he's a RINO too.

He is more than a Rino. He was a Democrat that switched parties in 1994. I think you just helped the authors argument. Shelby is gonna get primaried or retire. He is as swampy as they get.

Shelby's picture should be next to the definition of Rino.

Lol. Nailed it

Liberals found some of their favorite fellow travelers on the business end of the Sword of Damocles they’ve been lording over the rest of us for years. Forgive me if I don’t give a damn.

My dad always said, watch most any movie and if a character has a Southern accent there's a strong likelihood that he's portrayed as either evil or stupid.

I think people are just going to vote Moore as a giant middle finger to the elite media. When they starting flapping their chops over this is when Moore recovered in the polls.

I think Moore will win, and people here will go nuts celebrating another 'victory'. Unless Moore's percentage is over 60 percent, I'm not sure how anyone can say anything except they dodged another bullet.

Obama could have campaigned for Doug Jones this weekend - that might have helped his chances. Guess he was too busy making money somewhere instead.

I wouldn’t miss this vote for the world.

Oh, and if I wasn’t 100% sure I damn sure am now after half a dozen robo-calls/texts from New Jersey, California, and Illinois.

Just curious... what if none of it is true... is he still a creep?

Yeah, but Jones could put Moore behind for years for child molestation. Jones is more tougher on crime including the sins of murder. Trump is throwing mud that Jones's record shows different when Jones is actually tougher on crime.

Why hasn't he?

Nope, he'd be yet another victim of the progressive slander machine.

But this is not a court of law. It is a message board, where due process rights are nonexistent and assumptions rule the conversation.

My own assumption is that he is at least fractionally guilty of the charges being leveled, and that makes him a creep for today's purposes.

The same rules of course apply to you. Feel free to turn a blind eye to whatever uncomfortable assertions you choose not to accept. (Oh, and don't pay any mind to that 30-year old guy hanging out by the gumball vending machines at your local mall.)

What a d!ck.

So, just knowing the thought process of my family members in Alabama, the reason is as simple as 'abortion'.

They don't particularly like Moore, but they equate abortion to murder, and figure whatever he might have done is not as bad as murder. That's why they voted Trump and that's why they will vote for Moore. It's party platform over candidate character, and they won't budge on it as long as one platform is pro-life.
