I don’t trust the post either, they were absolutely here to make all Alabama GOP voters out to be bible thumping knuckle dragging cult followers who were going to vote for Moore just because Jesus.
Doug Jones is possibly worse. I’m fucking floored by what we have to choose from.
Yeah. It's a damned shame.
But think about it. You're a decent guy from what I can tell. Would you open up your entire life history to the kind of bullshit that goes on in politics today? Would you be willing to run for office, any office, knowing that all it takes is one person to make some public accusation to drag you through the mud?
I know for sure I wouldn't.
Oddly enough, all I ever really wanted to do while I was growing up was go to law school, work up to a judge's post and then run for governor. There's no way in hell now I'd even consider it.
I can't remember all the girls I pursued when I was in my 20s. Most of my memories of that time are fuzzy. Anybody could say anything and I couldn't necessarily deny it. Which is why the stuff with Roy just doesn't move the needle for me. Nobody's memory is that sharp after 40 years. Time has a way of skewing things and turning memories inside out. I used to babysit for people when I was 17-21/22. I was good with the kids and even better with the moms. How many did I pound? Two that I think I remember for sure, but it could have been three. I kinda sorta remember one of their names. And that wasn't 40 years ago.
There's not a soul who posts on this board who could withstand the public scrutiny that is now part of a run for office.
The way things are now, there's nobody decent who'd be willing to run. And if there WAS somebody who could pass the "have you ever done or said anything..." test? I damn sure wouldn't want them in charge of anything. I'd vote for any of you here because talking shit, liking boobs, etc. is the reality.
