You only touched a nerve because you singled out a group of people for their appearance and flat out stated that the world would be better off without them. Based on their looks. That makes you an a-hole. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show hasn't lost a beat, although Jeff unfortunately relented. 13 hours ago, Tiberius said: The GOP tax bill won't be finished until after this election. The tax bill is pretty unpopular. Has Moore weighed in on if he will support it? And the cuts the Medicare the GOP are talking about have to be issues weighing on Moore, also. If he loses, the tax bill is dead If Jones pulls out the miracle and wins Alabama's Senate seat he wouldn't have the seat until January and the GOP looks well on its way to wrapping this up before Christmas. Also, Pence would simply break the 50-50 tie I believe as the vote was 51-49 in favor of the tax bill. However, if Jones does win then the Republicans will have trouble getting anything else done in the Senate like repealing and replacing Obamacare as they would only be able to lose two votes.

I was thinking along the lines of his win making other senators think twice about supporting the Senate-House reconciliation measure. The bill might be considered a factor in electing Jones.

Magox Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 I've seen enough of this !@#$ to opine that he's a worthless piece of dog poo. Doesn't surprise me one bit that Breitbart would endorse this guy. He'll probably end up winning but he's going to go through all sorts of ethics investigations as soon as he is sworn in.

row_33 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 They are hoping to find ANY trace of ethics in the Senate for this investigation? Odds must be long on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's about right, but when has the Senate ever considered bringing ethics charges against a sitting Senator when the events occurred prior to his becoming a Senator.

It may amount to nothing, but I think Magox is probably right about the ethics investigations. Moore may survive, but I think the Rs are really going to make a show of putting him through hell. 2 hours ago, Paulus said: I don't care, if AL elects Moore, the conservatives lose credibility.
