        The answer is not to back Moore, it is organize a write-in campaign around a Republican alternative who can prevent both the child molesting Roy Moore and the abortion extremist liberal Doug Jones from winning.

        Um...nothing has been proven on the ‘alleged’ child molestation. Moreover at least two holes have been poked on other accusers: yearbook and mall banning. Timing is extremely suspect and there’s no other accusers in prior elections.

        No holes have been poked in the allegations Leigh Corfman has made which in my opinion are the most damning. In fact court records show both she and Roy Moore where in the courthouse on the day she says they met. Corfman was 14 years old when she says Moore molested her

        Don’t you think that if this was his behavior with women it wouldn’t have been known already? The guy has been running for office for decades! No, this is a hit job. Probably Mitch McConnell.

        The rumors have been around for years and Roy Moore's defense against the allegations have been horrendous. His Hannity interview was a disaster and he hasn't spoken with reporter since. That's not how an innocent man defends himself

        For years? Why wasn’t it a big deal when he run for D.A? They hate him of the Ten Comments among other things. McConnell is top on the list. And Gloria Allred? She’s in Clinton’s pockets. Gimme a break.

        This article is willful abdication of moral responsibility. Those voting for Trump & Moore are NOT off the hook because they tell themselves they had no choice. Clinton & Moore are not "votes for abortion." The law already is what it is.

        Matt, you’re simply wrong about Jones’ stance on abortion. He said in an interview yesterday, I believe, that he supports the current abortion laws. If I can find it I’ll link it here.

        Abortion is a problem? When they deny healthcare that kills people (when they don't have it) how can they even claim they are 'pro life'?

        Which is pretty remarkable. Predator Moore's breaking the law - and inflicting psychological damage on minors - is acceptable while Jones' following constitutional law is not.

        Matt, there was a TON of misreporting, based on his interview with Chuck Todd's stupid "gotcha" question. He noted yesterday that he DOES NOT support partial birth abortion and backs current Alabama law which is 22 weeks (note the house version was 20 weeks). Please correct.

        Conservative my entire life & still have never understood single issue voters, esp when it’s about settled law. Do they think just because Jones is pro choice that women will suddenly run to abortion clinics? It’s odd to me, as how someone else believes doesn’t effect what I do.

        My family in & from AL will all vote for Moore. Why? Abortion. As Christians, they just cannot reconcile the issue to vote Jones, even tho each finds the allegations against Moore to be despicable if true. Better a GOP win & then replace Moore than vote Jones/support abortion.

        Just passing on their mindset, not mine (I don't live there). I have mentioned Busby, but they view him as a spoiler with no chance of winning and, in their minds, having a conservative win (even if he's later removed) is better than the liberal, pro-abortion candidate win.

        I totally understand - I hear it every day. It's a common theme among #Alabama #Republicans. Arguments are very similar to #Trump vs #Clinton. Sad that #politics has come to this.

        You're absolutely correct - I heard the same with Trump vs Clinton, as well (which is why I voted 3rd party, so I totally get voting for Busby). This whole "binary choice" thing is getting old. I pray whatever the outcome in AL, we are all served well.
