CNN just said that the Constiutional Party was asking Roy Moore

[La_Serpiente]

to run for President. Think he could pull the votes his way?

[calimary]

Maybe a Nader for the right?

THAT'S something I'd like to see. That would woo away some real hardcore fundies.

[slackdude]

1. SWEET!

Without the hardcore fundimentalist wingnut vote, Bush is screwed!

[ShaneGR]

2. If Roy Moore runs, I'm going to church EVERY SUNDAY

Because I'll know that GOD, well at least Roy's god, is pulling votes AWAY from Georgie...


WOOHOO

[LeahMira]

22. Well...

Because I'll know that GOD, well at least Roy's god, is pulling votes AWAY from Georgie...

The Lord works in mysterious ways, indeed. But best not make too many promises you might not be able to keep. "He" knows!
:-)

[wryter2000]

3. Bush could kiss the South goodbye

All those people who've lost jobs but are too born again to vote for a dem would go to Moore. This is the best news I've heard today.

[WilliamPitt]

4. Please let this happen.

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. Should we all email him

as religious repukes and BEG him to run to save this country from those horrible homosexuals (I don't feel that way, HE does...just to clarify)??????? :bounce: I think we should! How do we find his email? If he runs....the shrub is toast! :bounce:

[Walt Starr]

7. Yep, Roy Moore is defnitely MY choice for a candidate

Hell, I'd even vote for Lieberman if Moore was on the ballot, too, because there is no way in hell even Lieberman would lose in that scenario!

[Drifter]

14. Yep ...

same thing the repukes do to get the opponent they want. Crazy Al for instance.

Cheers
Drifter

BTW - I like Al, but I do not think he has a chance of becoming President. Press Secretary would be his kind of gig.

[_NorCal_D_]

18. You bet!

Moore/Robertson 2004! B-)

[LeahMira]

24. Here ya go...

http://www.constitutionparty.com/

Roy is on the home page, big and smiling!

[in_cog_ni_to]

30. Ewwwwwwwwwwwe!

I need a shower now! I just sent them an email with much encouragement to run Judge Moore. :7 I hope he does.

Thanks for the link, BTW. :)

[Richardo]

6. Oh please please please please

pwetty pwease?

We were talking a few months back about the need for a Perot factor in 2004.

pwetty pwease wif sugar on top?

[LittleDannySlowhorse]

8. Where can I send him money?

I was amazed a little while ago to learn that there is a number of people on the religious right who feel that the Bush administration isn't right wing enough, if you can believe that. If the Republicans are really sending Dean money so that they can go up against what they consider to be an easily beatable opponent, I see nothing wrong in using similar tactics against them.

[Terwilliger]

9. nahhhhhh

he's a right-wing Repuke first and foremost...he'll support Bush when it comes down to it

[_NorCal_D_]

13. Probably

They know how to tow the line better than anyone. :(

[Stuckinthebush]

16. Not necessarily...

Remember, Roy Moore is not a party guy first, he is a fundamentalist Christian first. He sees the Repubs as his enemy now. Who prosecuted him? None other than a Republican AG. Who didn't support him? Bob Riley, the Republican governor. Who removed him from office? A number of Republican judges (some Dems, too).

Roy Moore strongly believes that our nation has moved away from God. He sees the Dems and Reps to both be corrupt in this arena. He doesn't give a rat's ass about Republicans winning the White House as much as he cares about turning the US into his own version of Talibanized Afghanistan.

Also, Roy has a huge ego. He is a classic narcissist and will be easily swayed into this race given enough pressure from his constituents. He will believe that God wants this from him, and he will act on it.

Folks, this could be huge. I think we all need to contact the Constitutional Party and pledge our support for Roy's nomination. Today. Now. Immediately. No time to lose.

Roy Moore for President!!!!

[Terwilliger]

21. yes...fundie Christian first...he'll vote for Bush

and encourage his fundie friends to do so as well

[Stuckinthebush]

28. But get in Moore's mind...

(I know, it's a scary proposition)

OK...the Republicans at the National and State level let Roy flounder in the wind over this monument. What did that say to Roy? It said that the Republicans are all bluster about their intentions to turn this nation back to God. He has a deep feeling of betrayal over this. Also, if he runs for President, it gives him both momentum and some left over cash to run for Governor of Alabama. What better spring board than that?

Given Roy Moore's state of mind, his allegiance to his warped vision of God, and his desires for power, I think that this is a very real possibility.

[Terwilliger]

32. assuming that it gets that far...

you'll see the same thing happen that happened with Nader in 2000: they'll discredit him, call him an egotist, marginalize what he says, whatever...and troops will rally round the Bush flag.

[Ripley]

33. But if he's on the ticket, he will definitely siphon off the votes.

At least here in the deep south.

[Terwilliger]

37. maybe

but, once again...look at 2000... People in any other election might have voted for Nader, but the threat from the other side (along with the flailing Gore candidacy) swung that protest vote back to the main party candidate. If it appears the same toward late campaign season, people on the right will go back to supporting Bush to shore-up his support. It will NOT end up siphoning the votes needed to make a difference.

I don't see Roy Moore as being any more fundamentalist than your average right-wing nutjob...he doesn't represent a real political difference, other than his steadfast support of the 10 commandments, a perennially popular position for anybody right-of-center.

[11 Bravo]

38. I hope the EXACT same thing happens that happened with Nader.

Nader siphoned enough votes away from Gore in Florida to allow Jeb and Cruella Harris to steal the election. Roy for President!

[TacticalPeek]

20. He'll let the idea kick around for a while to get bushco worried,

then squeeze 'em for Asscroft's job in a second term in return for recognizing the divine ordination of aWol.

:evilgrin:

[Ripley]

26. You underestimate his EGO.

He is going to run one day and I wouldn't be surprised if he did it in 04. He has momentum on his side right now, he is getting press coverage right now. In 5 years no one will remember him (nationally).

His ego is above party. Believe me.

[Terwilliger]

34. yes, of course...it's all about ego

Moore's ego...Nader's ego...Perot's ego...oh yeah...always about ego...

[dusty64]

10. Wow, this

ought to be interesting. Remember moore probably feels backstabbed by the rethugs.

[catmandu57]

11. We could have a double whammy next year

moore drawing off the rabid wingers, and someone like perot drawing off the moderate republicans, the ones who still have a conscience. It could well be the pukes will fracture into a thousand pieces.

[_NorCal_D_]

12. Interesting.

The Republican equivalent to the green party! B-) :bounce:

[not systems]

15. That rocks! n/t

[MissMillie]

17. Even one or two percentage points

could do some serious damage to the Bush campaign.

This is too good to be true.

[Beetwasher]

19. That Would be Friggin' SWEET JUSTICE!!

Run Roy RUN!!!

[jiacinto]

23. No probably not

nt

[LoZoccolo]

25. If we do this, we could try for a 3-for-1 split.

This could backfire, because the Republicans might try to further fuzzy the first amendment to get these voters back. Most of the Republicans I know well are more of the libertarian types, and while they would not like this, they might go along with it if it's introduced gradually (they already go along with the Republicans despite their very un-libertarian tendencies). If we want to further damage the Republican party, we could split the party from both ends and convince these people to "send a message" to the GOP about civil liberties - things like the USA PATRIOT act, for instance - by breaking from them next election as well.

[Lisa0825]

27. write-in

My very conservative friend who intends to vote Constitution Party said there has been a big grassroots push to write Moore in on the ballot.

[Stuckinthebush]

29. Please e-mail the Constitution Party

[e-mail]

and encourage them to draft Moore.

[NewJeffCT]

35. go for it

The sooner he gets involved, they can start getting signatures and then get him on the ballot in some states, and hopefully invited to a debate or two.
