MB's Own Election for Alabama Senator
 

As I did for the US General Election, I thought it might be interesting if MB had its own parallel election; this time for the Alabama Senate race. The Republicans and Democrats are engaged in such a close battle for seats and support that this local election is being watched with fascination by the entire country, not to say the world, but for anyone not following the news, here’s a quick summary or C.V. of the candidates:

Roy Moore (Republican):
> Banned from local mall for being so pervy he was frightening customers away
> Accused of paedophilia or sexual harrassment by nine women
> Banned from local YMCA for soliciting sex from young girls
> Has made this comment about the last time America was great: “ I think it was great at the time when families were united, even though we had slavery”
> Considers that being gay should be a criminal offense
> Regrets the fact that women were given the right to vote
> Is commited to repealing Obamacare
> Removed from office of Chief Justice (twice) after being found guilty of violating judicial ethics.

Doug Jones (Democrat):
> None of the above

Well, that’s my balanced, impartial assessment of the candidates, so let’s get voting. Like the real election, you’ve only got one day to do it, and all votes will remain confidential, until they are hacked by the Russians and published by wikileaks.

You might add that Doug Jones supports abortion rights, not popular in Alabama and Alabama happens to be a fairly homophobic state as homosexuality is clearly unchristian. :rolleyes:

This really will be a test to see if people, and Alabamans in particular, really do believe in God. If Roy Moore wins, and I'm pretty sure he will, it will prove they don't think he really exists. If Doug Jones or a write in (presumably Luther Strange) wins, well, maybe there's hope for humanity after all.

But I have a feeling if Satan were a Republican with Moore's stances and Jesus Christ ran as a Democrat on Jones' platform, Satan would still win and they'd find some logic in the bible somehow. It's a shame too really. The couple times I was in Alabama were fairly pleasant and I'm a flaming liberal.

Fuck a 2-party system and its illusion of choice.

Church

More church. Favorite bit from last night's discussions.

Question: So who are you going to vote for?
Answer: Roy Moore all the way baby!
Question: With all that's currently surrounding him, why are you so enthusiastic about him?
Answer: Because he will fight to save the children from abortions.
Question: How do you feel about the fact he's accused of stalking, preying upon, and abusing some of those children?
Answer: Uhm, *stammers*, long pause: Because he supports my religious beliefs!

I almost fell out of my chair.

Also, Jones was the prosecutor who got two KKK members sentenced to life in prison for murdering four little girls in the infamous 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.

I vote for my cat!

True. Every time I feel like saying people who voted for Trump are stupid, I force myself to remember what their alternative was. It was just two really horrible options.

The whole political system of the US should be changed from the ground up. Don't ask me how though.

Respect.

The Republicans did nominate Trump so you have to question the logic there at least.

The DNC is somewhat corrupt ala Hilary, and no one is really looking after Americans' interests. Yeah, we're pretty much a mess it seems.

And very easily too. Sucks, doesn't it?

It really is. But hey, change is hard so we might as well give up. At least we get to relax a bit.

Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha.

That naivete is gonna cost you. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil. It's honestly shocking to me how difficult it is for people to understand that, but I guess I shouldn't have expected Americans to read past the sales pitch.

This is gonna be a fun night watching this go down.

When you have a choice between someone with a narcissistic personality disorder and an obviously corrupt politicians, I guess you have to look at their basic positions, not that it will do much good.

We haven't figured out how to get a third party candidate who is socially liberal and more fiscally moderate (I don't want to say conservative because once you start messing with Social Security checks, you'll have a riot on your hands).

One way to do that would be by having the same polling requirements for debates, a box on the ballot, etc. for third parties as the two headed cow because currently, third parties have the deck stacked against them and have to jump through additional hoops just to be recognized.

i was gonna vote for roy moore to troll but i see someone has beat me to it.

Would someone with 4 years experience as Secretary of State have made the totally stupid decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel? Would someone with 8 years of Senate experience have made robo-calls in support of a Roy Moore? Would someone who had 16 years combined as a first lady have tweeted out something like this?

I know. I know. I'm basically: :banghead::banghead::banghead::banghead:

Sucking Putin's dick while insulting an insane North Korean leader is so much cooler.

And it's not a "mean tweet". It's insinuating that a US senator was willing to **** him for money.

At least Trump sucks his dicks in public like a real man.

What's your excuse?

I only suck one of my dicks at a time and most security places in the area know what's up when I assume the position and stop me before I can even unzip.

Y'all are some hardcore political nihilists huh

Eat a dick cause nobody cares about your fetish for that twat with the ugly haircut. You can't let go of Hillary any more than you can let go of the 70s when you weren't tied down with a wife and kids.

you telling me you wouldn't pound that ass

Wow. I had no idea.

due time elph moves to canada i think

Communist Party of Canada - Parti Communiste du Canada

No, that someone would have been someone about as sleazy as Nixon with a Republican congress calling for her head. I was spinning my head why no one with a real shot to defeat her (Sanders' showing was a pleasant surprise) for the nomination ran against her. I have to think they were intimidated by the Hilary machine.

And she did stand by her man who wasn't exactly a choirboy either if I recall.

Basically, the GOP did the nation a bad service when they put party over politics, not that the DEms would have been much better.

Duh, it needs to be combined with unbiased accountability which is currently nonexistent. However, an increased opportunity for 3rd parties to participate takes a step off of the oligarchy ladder.

Thank god that she demon didn't get into office. Also that tweet is amazing.

Oh come on even liberals think she's the worst lmfao

Palestine, which isn’t even a ****ing country, has no claim to Jerusalem. Jerusalem is the obvious capital of the sovereign nation of Israel that can choose any capital they want. Palestine is what shouldn’t be recognized and ISN’T recognized.

It's been recognized as such for several administrations already too, Trump just made it official by moving the embassy.

It’ll probably get blown up but that’s where it belongs.

In thousands of little pieces?

Palestine was a country though: Judea was renamed Palestine. So it did exist, and for a hell of a lot longer than Israel has.
