Give me Roy Moore all day over any democrat


I hear you and it’s a shame that it has come to that. If I felt that the Democrat wouldn’t vote lock step with Schumer, then I’d really consider them. Not sure if Doug Jones is like that but I have my doubts.

I’ve said this on the Poli-Board but we really need a more viable Democratic Party in Alabama just so the winner of the GOP Primary has to at least break a sweat. It isn’t healthy for our state that all a candidate has to do is win one GOP Primary and then they are assured of multiple terms in office. Robert Bentley is a case study for this. I hate the two party system but it beats the hell out of a one party system.

You should help vote in a democrat then. Let's start with Doug Jones. My favorite thing about him so far is he's not Roy Moore. That's basically all it takes.

That's the biggest issue with national elections. The individual almost doesn't even matter. It's all whatever the party platform is.

I regularly vote for Democrats in local and state elections in Georgia. I seldom do nationally, no matter how much I like the individual. There are more absolute no's for me in the national Democratic party agenda than the Republican one, as much as I disagree with a large chunk of both.

This is the mentality that results in Alabama being the worst state in the United States with close competition to Mississippi. In a perfect world all states would be swing states, but the blind allegiance to parties, especially Alabama republicans, doesn't help anyone.

Gay marriage is a good issue to test if a candidate can use objectivity to determine the best solution for the people, and Moore fails in that regard.
