MONTGOMERY, Ala. — Near the end of a press conference for Roy Moore Thursday, a reporter asked a question: Where was Roy Moore?

“He’s campaigning,” said Ben DuPre, a longtime Moore associate and spokesman for the campaign. “He’s campaigning hard.”

If Moore is doing that, he's keeping it a secret.

In the last few days before the Dec. 12 election for Alabama’s junior U.S. Senate seat, the Republican candidate has all but vanished from the public, continuing a pattern of absence that took hold after allegations of abuse, assault, harassment and misconduct with nine women surfaced against Moore in early November.

And abortion is the one issue that’s most important to them. Something that will never affect them in their everyday lives. Stupidity and ignorance are like a disease.

They vote Republican because of it, and nothing else and would likely vote Democratic otherwise.

Same thing as you; why are they that concerned about something that has no effect upon them personally? (They are too old to have kids at this point).

...the reverend told them to vote that way.

Even though reversal of Roe v. Wade has a snowballs chance in hell, their "fiery" minister keeps hollering from the pulpit because it gets butts in seats which is very important when the collection plate is passed around...which also pays the ministers salary. The Apostles may have had help in living expenses via donations, but when they weren't evangelizing, they were working in the trade they knew.

that he does not have trouble finding when it comes to underage females. Has anyone reported sighting his missing balls in the area? He is hiding until after the election.

His base will vote for him regardless. If he stays out of the limelight, he can't be asked those annoying questions about being a pedophile.

or the merits of slavery or anything at all about his past, and the media becomes consumed with questioning where he is instead of where he's been and what he's done.

Quite clever, in a lowlife sort of way . . .
