He seems not to realize how needy and stupid he looks. Apparently no one in his life loves him enough to tell him to stop whining and face reality.

You actually listen to him? I have more important things to do, like planning my campaign to become the next Pope.

Granted, we would not have a candidate as repulsive as Moore. Or if there were, s/he would not be nominated, or would have been abandoned long before the election. But that wasn’t my point, as I tried to explain.

Thanks. Poor guy. Bastards even put shackles on him when he was taken from the jailhouse to court. Remember seeing his daughter pleading for money for his defense. And all the incestuous and political relationships of the prosecution team. And judges too if I remember correctly. Would make a great novel or movie. Wouldn’t be believed as a documentary.

“We are indeed in a struggle to preserve our republic, our civilization, and our religion, and to set free a suffering humanity. And the battle rages on,”

He’s got that humility thing down cold.

Dear Roy, You wuz robbed! Don’t concede! Never concede! Spend every day from now until judgment day standing outside the Alabama statehouse with a large sign that lists all your grievances. Shout invective at passersby until you are hoarse. The people will come around to your point of view, honest.

Aftermath controversy[edit]
Riley’s victory was controversial, and caused many commentators to recall the Florida election recount of 2000.[12][13] Initial returns showed Riley narrowly losing to Siegelman. Siegelman gave a victory speech on election night, and the Associated Press initially declared him the winner.[14] However, officials in Baldwin County conducted a recount and retabulation of that county’s votes after midnight, and after Democratic Party observers had gone home for the night.[15] Approximately 6,000 votes initially credited to Siegelman were either removed from the total or reassigned to Riley in the recount, turning the statewide result in Riley’s favor.[16] Local Republican officials claimed the earlier returns were the result of a “computer glitch.”[17] Democratic requests to repeat the recount with Democratic observers present were rejected by Alabama courts and then-Attorney General Bill Pryor. Siegelman and his supporters complained that these judges (and Pryor) were either elected as Republicans or appointed by Republican presidents.[18] After over a week of fights in courtrooms and in the media, Siegelman, on November 18, 2002, made a televised address, saying that, “I’ve decided that a prolonged election controversy would hurt Alabama, would hurt the very people that we worked so hard to help”, and abandoned his efforts to secure a recount of the Baldwin County vote, allowing Riley to take office.[19]

dirty filthy politics.

I wouldn’t. This isn’t a close election where there are legitimate concerns about shenanigans. He’s just in deep denial and can’t believe he lost to a Democrat in AL. So, no, if a Democrat were behaving this way, I wouldn’t be supporting them. I’d be embarrassed.

Says the Dude who harkens back to Slavery as the last time America was great, says that the Post Civil War Amendments to the Constitution were unnecessary,and says that the Civil Rights and Voting Rights Acts “created new rights.” The fucking nerve of the crypto-Confederates masquerading as pious religious hypocrites never ceases to amaze me.

And silly me, I just thought he was waiting for God to tell him to grow a pair of balls and accept that he had lost.

Christian love, too. It just glows within him like—uh, lessee—like the electric shocks you see in a bug zapper over the trashcans at the back door of an Alabama road-stop diner, yeah, that’s it.

That happens to me, too, when I don’t sleep. (That is, I misread my posts.) :grinning:

Turnout, turnout and more turnout.

I think this win proves the only enduring truth in politics. Whether holding their noses, actively blowing raspberries, or just too busy Christmas shopping, when 350,000 to 400,000 of the opponent’s base don’t show up, anything is possible. So the challenge for Doug Jones now is to win reelection against an opponent who isn’t a three-time rolling embarrassment.

I don’t know if it would win everywhere or not, but I certainly know that I do not want to work until I die. I certainly know that I do want my son to get his own apartment and live his own life, without being forced to live with us by his unemployment or my aging health needs.

I promise not to give a damn about very much else, if my future 70-year old self is still working for money.

In a very subtle way this man gave a shout-out to Putin, he probably thought Putin would have helped him.
