Alabama Election Results: Doug Jones Defeats Roy Moore in U.S. Senate Race

[GagHalfrunt]

So when is this wanna-be cowboy going to concede?

Probably shortly after Jones is sworn in. His concession means as much as his campaign promises: Jack squat. Moore can go to his grave claiming victory and nothing changes.

So when is this wanna-be cowboy going to concede?

The last statement I heard from him was a venomous rant about how the US doesn't have morality anymore (apparently he doesn't see the irony in that position), that gays, trans, and other demon spawn are taking over and that he wasn't conceding. He was asking for contributions to fund a recount.

Fortunately whether or not he concedes matters not one whit. And if he is going to have a recount, he must comply with the relevant statutory deadlines, pay the fees in advance, etc.

Geeez, I've heard of sore losers before, but this guy Moore, this multiple child molester, he sounds like he's on a mission from God or something.

I get the feeling that in his mind he has to win this election to prove his innocence because his loss is tantamount to proving his guilt.

Well, he can run from his deeds all he likes, he can hide from it between the pages of his bible but those crimes of his are going to follow him to his grave, despite the idea that "Hey, back then in Alabamy it was A-frick'in-OK, an' everybody did it, so why should I of all people be the only one to pay for it now?"

"It jus' ain't fair is wut it is."

What's up with the mustard?

I'm going to guess it has something to do with decades of consuming sub par food stuffs from the look of it. Underdeveloped brain.

when o'l Roy stops kicking a downed Sassy?

Moore really isn't taking this loss well. On his Facebook page he's posted the following articles. "How Muslims and Marxists delivered for Doug Jones" and "Doug Jones' Gay Son is Thrilled by the Alabama Win".

God must REALLY have wanted him to win.

Why wouldn't Jones' son be happy that his dad won?

"Doug Jones' Gay Son is Thrilled by the Alabama Win".

God must REALLY have wanted him to win.

Roy Moore's 9 times arrested son agrees.

I guess gay pejoratives still play well in Christian fundamentalist circles.

 

[bshole]

Why wouldn't Jones' son be happy that his dad won?

If a Gay person is happy, Jesus is weeping....

 

[MomentsofSanity]

Why wouldn't Jones' son be happy that his dad won?

I'm guessing he is posting with extra emphasis on the Gay part. Otherwise. DUH!

Not sure if this has been brought up.

Sore loser Roy Moore lashes out at Doug Jones’ gay son
https://thinkprogress.org/roy-more-sore-loser-c6f7b0e27970/

... /snip "The second link Moore posted was from the conservative extremist site WorldNetDaily, which claimed that “Muslims and Marxists delivered for Doug Jones.” The article bemoans that these groups “rallied thousands of black, Latino, and Muslim voters behind Doug Jones,” but it doesn’t actually implicate anyone in any wrongdoing. Moore’s supporters left comments encouraging him to keep fighting. Moore had previously said he does not believe Muslims should hold public office.

Then, Wednesday evening, Moore shared an article from the LGBTQ magazine The Advocate featuring an interview with Carson Jones, the gay son of Doug Jones, the Democrat who bested Moore in the election. Carson is a 22-year-old zookeeper who lives in Denver and has little to do with the election aside from being Doug’s son. Given Moore’s long history of virulently anti-gay remarks, including support for recriminalizing sodomy, sharing the article seemed an attempt to further demonize Jones. Though LGBTQ activists were quick to respond to Moore’s post, many supporters clearly took the bait, as their comments indicate:

• “Well the way I see it if god wanted us to be with men on men and women on women and black with white he would have put us on earth that way guess what we are not that way it was Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve so with that said don’t push it on me I get sick and tried of hearing this crap. Just like Obama and the dem’s always trying to push it on us letting men go to girls bathroom just because one day they wake up and say o today I am a woman but to some that is ok well not by me it is not ok I don’t stand for it .”
  
  
• “Obviously Jone’s was an absent father for his son to be a homosexual , if the election continues as is he won’t be much of a Senator either.”
  
  
• “Shame they slander a great Alabamian Judge Moore and then the sick left winner shows its perversion”
  
  
• “Do you know what baby killers, homosexuals, so-called social elites, the underclasses, old hipsters, felons, socialists college students, urban thugs and white trash have in common? They elected Doug Jones!”

Moore’s own son, 27-year-old Caleb Elisha Moore, has been arrested nine different times — most recently in October — on charges such as criminal trespassing, drug possession, and driving under the influence."

 

[Jhhnn]

Roy Moore's full whackitude on display. Thank you, Alabamians, for sparing us all further disgrace & embarrassment.

 

[Puffnstuff]

But he isn't gay or anything else Roy wants to talk about so its all okay....NOT! This is more proof that Roy is just a religitard and not a Christian.

Wait, white trash?

 

[GagHalfrunt]

Wait, white trash?

That's the problem! White trash is Moore's voting bloc and they let him down.

Just a final exclamation point on this whole debacle. Alabama's senate today voted to eliminate special elections in place of appointments in the future.

I can't imagine why.....

Luther Strange would have remained to serve as Alabama's Senator until the next election for that seat. The law was, previously, ambiguous enough to leave room for interpretation. Governor Kay Ivey decided she didn't like Luther Strange and ordered the special election be held.

Tho the GOP betting that there will never be a D in the governor's office who might end up appointing a senator isn't without risk, to say the least.

 

[Fanatical Meat]

Has Moore admitted he lost yet?

meh. The R's will just overturn whatever rules benefit D's during the lame duck session prior to whatever D wins a governor's seat in Alabama (lol, right?)

NC knows how it's done...

 

[Amused]

Just a final exclamation point on this whole debacle. Alabama's senate today voted to eliminate special elections in place of appointments in the future.

I can't imagine why.....

The Tyranny of a single party system. Frankly, it doesn't matter which party, once they come into power and have complete control, they can and will rig the system to maintain power.

The only significance here is the GOP is doing it in record time. Shockingly so.

Look to South Africa's once great and now massively corrupt ANC to the horrors of a single party control of a government.

This is where a wise person is never an ideologue, but an automatic opposition member of any party in control.

Unfortunately, human nature is easily and invariably corrupted by power.

 

[HomerJS]

Has Moore admitted he lost yet?

Have Republicans denied they supported a child molester yet?
