    What is so difference between people in Alabama and people living in Afghanistan that support Taliban?

    This is the exact point I was making and getting push back on.

    Right, because it isn't a valid point. Just because people went to Alabama to mock their willingness to support a child molester and place the molestation of children as being less of an issue than being a Democrat doesn't make it unwarranted. People should protest, mock, call-out Moore in a church in Alabama and anywhere else in Alabama where that's happening.

    It makes no sense to gripe about that. That is well within reason and is perfectly justified.

    Party over Principles...how far will Cons sell out in order to get a tax break for land owners?

    I guess if your goal is to get the man elected...yes.

    He was already winning before any of the Kimmel crowd went down there. That was the problem right there. It is what incidents like this highlight.

    Oh I see. So because the result was obviously "in the bag", lets go down and throw fuel on the fire. THAT will help!!!

    Maybe the only way to get Cons "morally outraged" if a black politician rolled around malls trying to pick up minors.

    Yep, I went there. Apparently the sexual morality card is all played out. :(

    Sure it does. It may not help in this particular election, but with Moore winning anyway, it wouldn't hurt. I support using entertainment to highlight and shine a spotlight on idiocy. The Alabama supporters of Moore are wallowing in idiocy.

    But I understand and support you and anyone else's right to think it's a bad idea and I don't doubt your motives for your opposition, either.

    I just don't think this arises to a Lester Maddox level.

    If that's your goal...Maybe wait till after the election? I bet once the election is over, Hollywood will drop it immediately.

    Well because the election is over, and there are very few active supporters still around. I think striking while the iron is hot, is the best action.

    Not only will Alabama elect a child raping piece of **** like Moore...but Mitch McConnell will seat him.

    Watch it happen.

    I just like how the guy with an undergraduate from West Point and a JD calls the college drop out an elitist.

    "Stopping crime"... especially against women. And in pedo Moore's case, girls.

    Out of curiosity, what would it take for Moore to lose?

    For people in Alabama to actually care about morality instead of saying they care about morality.

    if Moore isn't replaced in the next GOP primary, there is a legitimate gripe to be had with voters

    but don't expect them to vote against their own interest when Dems never do (see Kennedy, Edward)

    Today extremist GOPers.

    non-pedo GOP > pedo GOP > (fill in the blank) GOP > DEM

    however horrible the GOP candidate is, it's not legitimate to be against the candidate unless running against another GOP
