    I wouldn’t have supported Moore in the primary, but I think it’s true and fair to say that we learned the worst about him after the primary.

    Serious question - what makes Jones a "far left Democrat?"

    It's not his best work.

    Times were a bit different back then, shall we say. Back then, in some states, it was OK to marry children.

    Heck, in the 1880s, Ty Cobb's mother was just 12 when she married his father. And we all know how that allegedly turned out.

    No restrictions on abortion, at all, even after 20 weeks.

    Is there a more extreme political position than that?

    Daniel Patrick Moynihan referred to late term abortions as infanticide.

    I'm certain that if the shoe were on the other foot and the Dems had nominated someone who was totally unsuitable and then offered a write in alternative at the last minute who was much better, you'd vote for him.

    This entire whatabout is utterly ridiculous, YF. The R's have a self inflicted wound and are bleeding out. The Democrats in this state have a chance for an incredibly rare win, and you think they should vote for the Republican write in because he's better than Moore? Screw that. I have no problem at all with taking a win over a bad candidate, any more than you did with taking one over Clinton.

    It's true. But it's barely true. Child molesting is pretty close to as bad as it gets.

    But so is trying to install a theocracy, believing that a person should be barred from public service for their religion, being so divorced from reality that he genuinely believed that there were U.S. cities being run under Sharia law, etc.

    Roy Moore was completely, unquestionably and irrevocably inappropriate for any sort of power in civic society *before* we found out he was also a child molester.

    How much time is there between when Jones would kill them and when Moore would date them? Glad I don't live in Alabama.

    I’m just curious to see if there’s any scenario where Dems would support voting for someone other than the candidate of their party to prevent a child molester from being seated in the senate.

    This is what they’re asking republicans to do.

    Would they join forces with republicans to stop Moore? Doesn’t look like it.

    If we don’t want a child molester in the Senate, it is the responsibility of the people who haven’t and would never vote for the child molester to stop it from happening.
