>>This is his spokesman talking - watch this its really funny :) ..it's 10 minutes long but it's worth the laugh to watch it. I found this hilarious - put me in a better mood - about the 9 minute mark gets to the Muslim thing lol lol.

Oh dear. The poor spokesman is fiercely loyal to Moore, but has a superficial understanding of the issues and contradicts the Constitution's Article VI that says elected officials "shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

Amateur hour. Clearly that was not legal scholar Moore's argument, with loyalty no substitute for subject matter knowledge when dealing with the likes of Acosta! I hope you also noted how he snipped Moore's 2005 comments leaving no possibility of audience engagement with Moore's legal point? Not that it wasn't already tricky to follow. Moore really needed (needs?) to learn to talk in sound bites., not soliloquys.

>>I see your point - but keep in mind your talking about one interview. If you go back and listen to many of the other things he's said regarding homosexuals you see a pattern of what I would call hate towards them.

I'm not seeing such such a pattern- except possibly well-meaning stumblefoot "spokespeople" getting themselves and him in trouble. In any case, one senator can't overturn the law and won't stay long if he mounts crusades without electoral support. Churchill is yet to be proven wrong in his observation that democracy is the worst form of government except for all the others that have been tried from time to time. ;-)

>>If he becomes an elected official and thus has the power to help enact laws obviously his intent would be to outlaw same-sex marriage and possibly attempt to outlaw homosexual conduct - because that what he's actions and words say he wants to do.

Jones argues that he's able to separate his personal beliefs wrt abortion from the nation's laws. Every baptist or catholic etc who ever took office after Wade vs Roe was able to do the same. Every so often somebody tries to overturn... and what happens? Either nothing, or the Supreme Court steps in. Yes I do appreciate the irony(!) but this is why I don't see an issue with crusaders in the legislature. They're self-limiting.

>>Roy claimed repeatedly that he didn't even know any of his accusers, but of course this contradicted his earlier defenses.

I saw that presentation by Acosta. Frankly I find it shameful how the MSM snipped it to make it look contradictory.

>>There are plenty of people who say higher the voter turnout, the better the democrats do -

I'd say that logic is very true in AL or CA where elections are so one-sided that the opposition may not bother to turn up at all, especially on a frosty December day. In AL there may have been no point turning up against Sessions, but this time was different. Having mobilised for him, Jones had better listen to those black voters for whom jobs and their economic future remain greatly concerning.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
