MORE ROY

[Super]

Of coursee that's the approach. We are trying to push through an agenda that is actually helping all americans. I know you disagree but the numbers prove it out.

the numbers don't prove that the tax bill helps all americans. not even close.

It hurts high state tax areas (which includes me). Otherwise it helps the majority of the rest of the country.

If you want a great listen to Alex Jones election results show. I don't know if it's intentional or unintentional comedy but it's damn funny. Almost 2 hours in and they are convinced a landslide win for Roy is coming. So many good quotes from this show.

i think he's like hannity in that he doesn't believe a lot of the **** he says, but knows who his listeners are, that they're stupid, and that they'll believe anything along a certain line of talking points. however, you never know when someone like this gets so deluded that they start to believe it.

[Super]

"They" aren't all the same.

could've fooled me. too many of them are.

[CrimsonCowboy]

i am down with RTR tonight as well

i just don't have a visual to post with said statement that goes a long with a victory

haha


i'm not actually a fan of either team btw

Heh. Understand on all counts

Well, it was certainly an interesting time to live in Alabama. Just glad it’s over. I can now watch local television and listen to the radio and not get bombarded with all these ads. At this moment, I still have not heard a concession from Moore, but that doesn’t matter. Jones won and he needs to accept that reality and ride his horse into retirement.

For Doug Jones, he promised to reach across the aisle. He better do that, or he will be a one term senator. This is still a red state. Yesterday, things went entirely his way to win the election, not the least of which, running against the worst possible candidate the Republicans could have had. The conservatives in Alabama, and there are still a lot of them, won’t be looking hard for a reason to vote against him the next time. Especially if it’s a candidate the majority of the base can rally around, unlike the case with Moore.

Hopefully, I provided at least a little insight from a person who is a native and lifelong Alabama resident. It’s been quite a year for politics in our state. I think I speak for a majority of the people here when I say that we need a break from politics for a while. It won’t be a long one though, as we will have a governor’s race in 2018. That promises to be a circus as well.

And with that, my personal ban from talking politics is now reinstated.

that is not what the reports say. and especially not what they say a few years from now.

What I have been saying, selling their soul for short term victories unless they blow up and destroy everything before their old voters die

Roy Moore won voters 65+ by 19 points.

He lost all other age groups by 8 points.

The best economists can't forecast the upcoming quarter. Forgive me if I don't think these projections are 100% accurate.

What Gop policies that wildly differ from democrats keep blacks down?

Cause I can list several the other way around

[thethe]

Yeah...I'd love to know these magical policies that the left implements which have proven to help blacks.

Afterwards please explain how the I Flux of low skilled workers from other counties help blacks.

Well, in light of court decisions in NC and Wisconsin and the Republican-led effort to let the precertification provisions of the VRA lapse, I'd say that fighting against racially-motivated vote suppression efforts is a good start.

[thethe]

What about economic opportunity? Shouldn't that be the most important thing?

[Julio3000]

I'd follow up by saying that better access to affordable health care, early childhood education and higher education is probably helpful.

But go ahead and make your pitch for trickle-down economics and strict immigration controls. It's been notably successful so far.

[thethe]

Yeah..must the small factor of lowest unemployment rate for blacks since it was tracked. Small things.

With more jobs you don't red the governments teet for health care and education. Bit of course the left doesn't want blacks to come off government assistance. Lose those votes...

I said it already but it bears repeating. One party has been repeatedly dinged in court for specifically attempting to enact measures to make it harder for black Americans to vote. Til you can approach that with some good faith, I don't know how much traction you're going to get by shouting about immigration.

How well has Rand Paul done inside his caucus advocating for criminal justice reform?

Because being employed means you can afford health insurance.

[thethe]

Because being employed means you can afford health insurance.

Yes..because many employers offer health insurance. And if we kill the aca costs will go down.
