Mars here, man with the BIG pen and the even BIGGER mouth, to draw the line for you about my thoughts on the Alabama special Senate election…
I had a BUNCH of people ask me to talk about this specifically, so, against my better judgment, here goes!
And before I get rolling here… let me start by saying, LOUD and CLEAR that I’m actually not a Roy Moore fan – not at all.
Some people are probably gonna claim that I am after what I’m about to say, but…nope… not at all…
On a personal level, he’s a theocrat, and… my natural position is not to defend someone who mixes politics and religion…
Why?
Because it can be used against you and your religion, just as easy as it can be used FOR it.
So, I’m not a Roy Moore fan, but…
I have to take up a position of defense here, because the liberal media clearly worked as hard as it could to smear him completely, in the interest of helping the Democrats win a Senate seat, that… by all accounts, they should not actually hold.
I mean, it’s been over 25 years since an Alabama Dem has been elected to the Senate.
I won’t drag out the complete details, ‘cause we all know them, but in a nutshell…
A woman, who was 14 at the time, claims that, over 40 years ago, Moore behaved inappropriately with her, but then we find out she forged part of a message he supposedly wrote in her yearbook…
And… another lady claims that he locked her in his car when she was 17, but the locks she claims he used didn’t even exist until 10 years after the incident.
And… look… problem with ALL o’ this is that… it was allegations that were treated like they were convictions…
And I want to be clear, I’m inclined to BELIEVE that Roy Moore MAY have done many of the things he’s accused of, but he was NOT tried and convicted or even brought to civil court on any of it.
So, I’ll just cut right to the chase on this…
My big problem with this is the effect that CONSTANT, solely allegation-based, media reporting had on the election…
So let’s look at some numbers here…
And… to all my Liberal friend watching this, remember that I told you, this is going to come back and bite you in the ass come the mid-terms…
Remember that I said that.
The effect of the media’s smear is 100% EVIDENT in the numbers. They’re overwhelming, frankly.
I mean, when you look at the voter turnout here – usually turnouts for special elections are low. They’re… outside the “normal” cycle and… people… ya know… usually just don’t show up.
But, in this election, that’s not in this case!
The turnout for this one was pretty high, specifically for Dems…
Get this…
Nearly 93% of the people who turned out for Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential election, turned out for Democrat Doug Jones in this election.
That’s not just interesting…
It’s UNPRECEDENTED in the history of elections, as far as I can tell!
I mean… you had nearly ALL the Dems who turned out for the presidential race, turn out for this special election for a Senate seat.
It’s never happened before to my knowledge.
Whereas, only 49% of the conservative voters who turned out for Trump, showed up for Roy Moore.
So, what really happened here is that you had a perfect storm for the Liberals, in that their turnout was on par with a presidential election.
And you had 50% of Conservative stay home, because CNN, MSNBC, and ABC convinced them that pulling the lever for Moore was… basically equivalent to pulling the lever for a pedophile.
And, to be clear, being a pervert who likes teenagers, does not make someone a pedophile…
A pedophile is someone who likes undeveloped children…
Liking teenagers, technically just makes someone a creep. Still GROSS, but let’s get our terminology right.
And, it’s… illegal… I mean… to engage in that way with someone under the age of consent, so if he did it, then he broke the law… and what needs to happen, needs to happen… BARS and STRIPES!
But the thing is, none of it was proven.
And believe me… it will.
And it’ll suck if that Democrat is actually the right person for whatever office they’re running for.
Yeah… and… honestly, I kinda feel the same way about Al Franken and the accusations related to him, with the only difference being that he halfway admitted to what he was accused of, so there’s a bit of a difference there.
But STILL, he wasn’t convicted of anything or even effectively SUED for anything.
And I don’t have to like someone, or like their politics to back the idea that things need to be FAIR – no matter which side of the aisle someone is on.
We’re headed down a VERY VERY slippery slope here, wherein… the media has the power to keep HALF of a voting base away.
And, speaking of that, I’ve seen a lot of hype that it was black people in general, specifically black women who won it for… for… Doug Jones, and kudos to them for rallying around something they believe in…
But the numbers tell the tale, it wasn’t as much that a certain group DID vote a certain way…
It was that a key group was swayed by the media into NOT showing up at all.
And that’s sad, because if that’s what we’ve come to…
If we essentially live in a world where. – whether or not someone actually does what they’re accused of, you are now guilty until proven innocent. And the Media is now the judge, jury and the executioner – then we’re ALL doomed AF.
And, I mean that.
Because, it really just means that, next time around, it may be your candidate who gets screwed out of a position that you really need them in in your neck of the woods.
And, again, I am NO FAN of Roy Moore, but I was watching this special election to see how the 24/7 media smear would affect things.
And MAN did it ever!
But the thing is, and I want my Liberal friends to… REALLY think this through…
When you’ve spent months declaring someone to be a child molesting Nazi and he still only loses by a couple of points, what does that really say about your party’s current organizational abilities, your fundraising apparatus and… your platform?
To me, it says there IS no platform.
Which, tit for tat… brings me around to my Conservative-leaning friends…
I hate to say this, but…. as long as people like Ryan, McConnell, and Priebus are in positions of power within the… organizational and fundraising structure of the Republican Party… you might actually have problems in the midterms.
The GOP, right now, has become weak… specifically because of the RNC’s very poor leadership.
When you can’t even hold onto a Senate seat in… ALA-mother-f-in-BAMA, what the HELL does that say?
I hate to tell the right-wing here… but I can say this… ‘cause I don’t give a damn which side of the aisle people think I’m on… COLIN DAYMUDE.
So… I’m gonna tell you this directly, Conservative friends listening here…
You need to lean on the RNC like you never have before or you’re gonna probably lose in the midterms.
‘Cause, I don’t want to hear stuff like, “Oh well… it was vote rigging. Felons and dead people voted for Jones!”
And, yeah, I know… like I said, this was partially the result of media smear campaign, but TOO BAD!
‘Cause it doesn’t really matter what caused it.
The bottom line is, the Democrats…
just won a senate race in…
ALA-mother-f-in-BAMA, mmm-K?
That does NOT show movement in the right direction for the GOP – not at all!
ANd even though they spent months declaring that Roy Moore was beyond all possible human redemption – a rapist… a creeper… an anti-semite… incompetent… all sorts of hyper-religious and ignorant AF… BASICALLY… Satan, that still doesn’t give the GOP a pass for not being able to rally support and get people OFF the COUCH and INTO the BOOTH!
And even though the idea of black, female voters tipping things in favor of Jones, that wouldn’t have happened if Moore’s voters had been energized to show up.
And, MOST IMPORTANT, no matter which side of the aisle you’re on, if you mistakenly believe that this was a fight between Roy Moore versus Doug Jones, or Republicans versus Democrats, you’re DEAD WRONG!
And, no matter which side of the aisle you’re on politically, HEAR ME ON THIS…
This was a battle between Big Media and Lady Justice, who wears that blindfold over her eyes in the interest of upholding the ideal of “innocent until proven guilty”…
So when one side or the other finds itself clapping REAL LOUDLY ‘cause their candidate won based on allegations rather than conviction… remember this…
If you’re OK with watching your candidate have his or her ass dragged through the mud, by an out of control media, just so you can “win”, then expect it to happen to you…
And THAT makes you and me and anyone else who condones that way of winning, COMPLICIT.
That’s about ALL for me today…
