Roy Moore, Governor? The guy who disobeyed a federal order banning the placement of the 10 commandments memorial on federal property is now running for Governor of Alabama.

Not a good fit, not a good candidate, and not a good move. Hope the people of Alabama will see through his gambit.

  • "I believe that God is leading me to uphold the laws in Alabama and guide its policies," Moore said in an interview after he announced his candidacy.
    this strikes me as approaching "the voices in my head are telling me to do it"...
  • He is an attention whore. Ignore him and let him slide into obscurity.
  • Just as soon as everyone writes him off... he'll probably win.
  • Article from the local paper includes some priceless quotes. He called for term limits for legislators, a prohibition on legislators holding other government jobs and legislative sessions every two years rather than annually. "Like most people in this state, I feel safe when the Legislature is out of session," Moore said.
  • I say that he should have his day and join with the other great American governors of the South: Lester Maddox, George Wallace, Orville Faubus, and Slingwell Slugwell
  • Hello? What the fuck is this, mulder? Even YOU are beating on the Christians now? Holy Mary full of grace, the LORD is most certainly not with THEE, guy. NOT. WITH. THEE.
  • Yeah, I know, that fazed me a little, too. Maybe f8x's finally coming over to the taupe side.
  • Hallowed be NOT thy name, mulder! HALLOWED. BE. NOT. THY. NAME.
  • Woe unto you, f8xmulder! For you compass sea and land to make one proselyte, dude, and when he is made, you make him twofold more the child of hell than yourself. FOR. YE. COMPASS. SEA. AND. OH fuck it you get the idea.
  • He aint gwine up to heaven.
  • Judge not, my children. Unless ye be head of the Texas State Lottery Commission.
  • Mr. Moore apparently doesn't believe the law must be obeyed when it offends his beliefs, and as much as he may be right or wrong in believing in the use of the 10 Commandments on federal ground, he is most definitely wrong in his defying of the order to remove the monument. This is why I don't support him. His bid for governor is partially built upon a pretext of religious rights being stripped away from the individual, but that's a spurious claim at best. Alabama does not need this fundamental believer in its highest office.
  • I had to photograph Moore once-he had a HUGE lace tablecloth on his conference room table that had the ten comandments tatted into it. Under glass. I'd bet pretty serious money on him winning, also Ralph Reed here in Georgia. The south is just full of freaks.
  • I honestly think he'll win.
  • Well, it's 'Bama.
  • I think he's got a decent chance to win also, although being from MA I have no idea what the climate is in 'Bama. *shudder* I think that it is due time blue states band together to create some sort of device to just surgically remove southern states. Let them have their Island Republic of Alabama, Roy Moore presiding.
  • I think it would be cool if Alabama merged with Alaska and became AllahAsker. I also think that Maryland and Kentucky should come together and become Luckymary. Delaware, Arkansas, Nevada and New Hampshire should get together and name themselves Dark Vadare. Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee could be Massmissmississness. And Wisconsen and Kansas should join up as Wiseass. SO VOTE FOR ME!
  • *votes for quidnunc*
  • Make like the pretty lady, folks! VOTE #1 QUIDNUNC! "Because he couldn't be worse than that monkey-man guy"
  • AllahAsker *slot machine pays out 10c*
  • Massachusetts, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee could be Massmissmississness. Laughs, spits orange juice on desk, makes others look at me funny Votes for quiddy.
  • /sorts thru' old gag books trying to find where quidnunc nicked that lot from... /curses
