Imagine your political party is a Rugby team, if one gets,"injured" you bench them and bring in the new player. My ignorance of the American system might be showing here but I could not understand why Roy Moore didn't stand down and let a different member of his party take the seat? It's because he understood his base very well and completely underestimated the democratic base, especially the black community who came out and voted in incredible numbers. Basically he didn't step down for the same reason that McConnell stopped condemning him: they thought he could win, and neither have a working moral compass., apparently. Party before country, in other words. Edited December 13, 2017 by ExpandMyMind 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a speech to his supporters in Montgomery, he said the vote must be counted again if there is a 0.5% difference between him and the Democrat Doug Jones after all ballots are recorded. He insisted that votes were still still being counted. https://www.yahoo.com/news/roy-moore-says-alabama-election-043907470.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's beginning to sound a lot like Hillary! Maybe he would like to start a collusion investigation? He might only doing so to try to delay the seating of Jones, thereby allowing the Republicans to get their tax bill through without any problems. Or maybe he genuinely wants an uprising? One of the main reasons for concession is so that supporters, in seeing you accept defeat, take it a bit better themselves (a bit difficult to claim an election was rigged or whatever when the candidate themselves accept the result). Can you imagine if he actually called for an uprising? Given what we know about him, I wouldn't put that outside the realm of possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moore recited his poem, the story of a young girl whose father died and the Christmas miracle that later occurs, in a Facebook video. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bee Posted December 28, 2017 #489 Share Posted December 28, 2017 and he's taken a lie detector test -- he's not going down without a fight after his close defeat -- https://www.newsmax.com/politics/roy-moore-polygraph-test-allegations-false/2017/12/28/id/834076/ Republican Roy Moore said in a challenge to his Alabama Senate special election loss that he completed a lie detector test that proved the allegations of sexual misconduct against him are not true, according to The Hill. "Also provided in the complaint is an affidavit from Judge Roy Moore stating that he successfully completed a polygraph test confirming the representations of misconduct made against him during the campaign are completely false," the Moore campaign said in a press release, the website reported. Moore has refused to concede in the Dec. 12 Alabama Senate special election that was won by Democrat Doug Jones. On Wednesday, Moore filed a lawsuit claiming voter fraud could have led to his defeat.

simplybill Posted December 29, 2017 #495 Share Posted December 29, 2017 It's too bad he waited until after the election to do the test. Polygraph tests aren't allowed as evidence in court, but I imagine those voters who were on the fence would've been swayed by the results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorizBadinov Posted December 29, 2017 #498 Share Posted December 29, 2017 So many things wrong on all sides of this issue. What troubles me most is how many people across the country are trying to influence all these state elections with money and outside candidates. How does that represent the people of that state accurately? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, except a polygraph isn't reliable. He's hardly going to go around claiming the polygraph showed he was lying now is he? What if he'd taken the test during the election and that's what it showed? The arrogant slime ball just assumed he'd win regardless. Nice to see he was wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The arrogant slime ball just assumed he'd win regardless. Nice to see he was wrong. I think it's notable that none of Mr. Moore's accusers have volunteered to take a polygraph themselves. If I was being called a liar and an opportunist, I would certainly offer to prove my own innocence on the same playing field that Mr. Moore chose to defend himself. It would make the accuser's claims much more believable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
