Falwell seems not to remember that those women only came out AFTER the tape of Trump bragging about sexually assaulting the women had gone public!

Amen, brother!

I swear Falwell just barely misses the top spot on my “Person who is the LEAST Christ-like in the world” list! Sadly, Franklin Graham and Pat Robertson have co-championed that title for decades, but Falwell is working hard to catch up to them!

And to catch up to his dearly departed biological father. Speaking of Falwell Sr. makes me wonder what Larry Flynt has uncovered on his latest hypocrite hotline wherein he offered to trade "Big Money" for incriminating information on "Big Orange." Must look into that.

Yeah, well, it's Alabama, so I'm not getting my hopes up TOO high, if ya know what I mean...

I think it's the changing atmosphere, personally. It's been one year since the Billy Bush tape dropped. But in that time, from Weinstein on forward, there's been a tectonic shift in the American public's attitude. The only remaining question is whether that reaches into AL or not.

A Luther Strange write-in campaign would indeed be wonderful! But I also heard there's a move afoot to postpone the election, and then let Jeff Sessions step down from the Trump administration and run for his old seat.

Watch the governor in the next few days, that's my advice. May be the best indicator of what's about to happen...

Thanks, I will check it out.

That also occurred to me -- Trump backed the other guy, so it'd be easy for him to walk away from Moore. No tweets yet, though, so we'll have to wait until he's on his way home from Asia, I guess...

The phrase I've heard is that money in politics is like rain on an old and cracked road -- there are always cracks it will seep in to.

Yeah, that Hannity inteview already caused a few GOP congresscritters to disavow (and dis-endorse) Moore. The next few days will be interesting, that's for sure...

Orsteen isn’t too far behind Falwell, trust me. Falwell spreads hate while Orsteen steals from the poor and those in need. Orsteen’s evilness isn’t that he preys on those that show up every week to his church as much as he preys on those homebound people who are so desperate because of illness. Orsteen’s ministry would lose its tax exempt status in a perfect world!

Orsteen isn't on your list? "Prosperity Gospel" is so anti-Christian it makes me, an agonostic, angry.

“The same thing happened to President Trump a few weeks before his election last year except it was several women making allegations,” Falwell told RNS in an email.

Of COURSE the money is 'free', to the guy (or the party) receiving it. The 'favor' comes out of your pocket and mine, not out of the politician who got elected with the bribe money, right?

Thanks for the heads up on that article. I made sure to pass that on to my family back home, but sadly for some of them it probably won’t change their vote.

Funny how all these years Moore claimed that it was homosexuals that were child molesters. I swear that you can tell what sins these Evangelical politicians are guilty of by what they crusade the loudest against!

So, imagine a scenario where (any political party) gets to the stage where "there is no longer any need to take big money". (That is if you CAN imagine such a thing - I personally cannot.) So, along comes a big donor in need of a political favor and offers them a pile of cash, and they say "thanks, but we've got all the $ we need"!!!

In what world would anybody ever turn down free money? Ain't gonna happen!!

The question is whether the negative ads motivate or demotivate? Looks like Dem turnout was BIG all over the country on Tuesday.

I think Dems/Lefties will try using all the tools they've been developing this past year to help Doug Jones. Will be interesting to see what works better.

Roy Moore/Bannon may split the GOP into the deplorables and the rest - whatever they are. GOP officialdom is repudiating him. Blotus will be torn between the fact that he originally backed the other guy, but Bannon is for Moore.

Go Doug Jones!

Good article about Dems figuring things out and working with Indivisible and other groups that sprang up spontaneously after Trump.

hwjv? that long haired radical socialist jew?

The WAPO interviewed roughly 30 local individuals who corroborated Moore's sexual predilections (pedo-lections?). It's not a conviction, but do Republicans, and people who vote Republican, really want that iceberg floating around in the Senate? It's just one more reason to question Moore's fitness for office....as if more are needed in the light of his checkered "to hell with the law" judicial career. He already has two strikes, do the citizens of Alabama need 3 to say enough is enough? By the way, that's not a rhetorical question.

I recommend you read the WashPo article as it explains exactly why these women came forward when they did. The WashPo reporters were not looking for this story but stumbled across it while covering the special election and it took a great deal of patience and persistence on their part to persuade the women to speak to them. They had no intention of ever revealing it to anyone until the WashPo reporters came long.

Word is that the Alabama GOP has already launched a write-in campaign for Luther Strange. If that takes off it will split the republican vote.
