Republican Party gives $170,000 to support Roy Moore

[quote]Republican leaders in Washington are coming to grips with the possibility -- perhaps even probability -- that Alabama's Roy Moore will win his special election next Tuesday and join them in the capital.
Looking past allegations of sexual misconduct with Alabama teenagers, President Donald Trump formally endorsed Moore, and the Republican National Committee quickly followed suit, transferring $170,000 to the Alabama Republican Party to bolster Moore's candidacy.
"I think he's going to do very well. We don't want to have a liberal Democrat in Alabama, believe me," Trump said Tuesday during a lunch with Republican senators. "We want strong borders, we want stopping crime, we want to have the things that we represent and we certainly don't want to have a liberal Democrat that's controlled by Nancy Pelosi and controlled by Chuck Schumer, we don't want to have that for Alabama."
Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell, who once called on Moore to get out of the race, changed his rhetoric over the weekend to say that it was Alabama voters who should decide.
The changed tone -- and Trump's decision to do away with any facade of distancing himself from the race -- make it clear they are increasingly confident in Moore's chances of victory despite the continued unease of some other Republicans.[/quote]

I love how the core message of the GOP is now "Hey it's ok to fuck little girls and break the law as long as you aren't a damn Democrat"
Do they not understand the ammo they're giving the democrats for elections in more moderate states?
Yeah, we don't want to have a liberal Democrat in Alabama, believe me, a well known pedophile who molests underage girls to the point where he's banned from the malls where he predates upon them is a much smarter and more ethical choice. Believe me!
In an ideal world they would be held responsible for aiding a fucking pedophile to power.
Honestly I'm a person who gives way too many second chances to organizations.
I tried desperately to justify supporting the GOP even with Trump, Bannon and the insanity around them, but considering that only a handful of people have spoken up and [I]not a single one[/I] has done anything has erased what little respect I had for the party entirely.
It's shameful, embarrassing and infuriating.
as if being labeled nazis wasn't enough

So if Roy Moore gets elected, Alabama's the pedophile state. Got ya.
Jesus fuck. We've got the president honest-to-God endorsing a fucking pedophile because the other guy's a nasty mean democrat. American politics has become a fucking abortion of a system over the past few years.
They're trying to paint this as a Liberal smear campaign against Moore, but for that to be true the conspiracy would have to go back decades, and involve everybody from children to school teachers to mall cops. The fact is that Moore is a fucking creep, and in all likelihood a bonafide child molester, who has been caught in multiple lies and contradictions about his level of international with his victims.
As if being a child molester who groomed little kids at schools and malls weren't reason enough to shun this sick fuck, he was also hopelessly inept at his job, having been repeatedly reprimanded for poor performance and constitutional violations.
Let the GOP's hypocrisy on this be remembered for ever as the ultimate proof that they don't give a shit about the morals and values they crusade under. They are interested in only two things: power and wealth. They would rather prop up an inept child molester for office than risk a Democrat weakening their ability to force through toxic policy.
I know that Alabama is solidly, inflexibly red. But if Moore loses, the moral hit that the GOP is going to take is going to be astonishing....
At least the current gop platform is probably unsustainable, they dont have many demographics except misguided poor whites and evangelical whites, and probably a sizable chunk of 1%.
Edit: also probably around half of surburbanites.

Except that's really all they seem to need.
In somewhat related news, Democratic senators are calling for Senator Franken's resignation en masse over his sexual misconduct. The message is clear: unlike the GOP, we won't abide sexual predators in Congress.
I like that this Moore controversy has blown up a bit more again. Will it be enough, though? I still have hope.
anybody else remember Pizzagate (2016) where right-wingers were desperately trying to paint a picture of some massive child sex trafficking ring being run by the Secret Pervert Degenerate Libs?

Trumpets, early 2017: HILLARY COMET PING PONG THREE CHEESE ANCHOVY DELUXE IS CODE FOR LATINO TODDLER RAPE #MAGA
Trumpets, late 2017: wtf I love pedos now but only if they're republican
:disgust:
Imagine thinking this way, the opposition is not just that, but the enemy that should be defeated no matter the cost. It really is extremism and has no place in America.
Remember that one senator who was being chased by a reporter as he was chanting about how 'the democrats will do immense damage to our country' in a low monotone over and over when questioned about how he felt about Roy "Likes Little Girls over Boys" Moore?
Makes you wonder if they all function of this mantra fueled cognitive dissonance.

Nah. They don't function off it - they use it as a shield to protect themselves from real facts from penetrating their soap-bubble world and forcing them to actually take a stance other than just parroting whatever someone else said.
IOW the "Hey, man, I'm just here for the paycheck - I gotta keep in line with my boss to get it" defense.
