ROY MOORE STATES HIS CASE IN SENATE DEBATE


".....hold them by the nose, kick them in the a** and give them hell all the time....."

             General George S. Patton Jr. speech to soldiers during World War II


General Patton never got the chance to run for public office, but another West Point graduate who served in the Vietnam War has run for public office and been elected multiple times.

Now he wants to be the next US Senator from Alabama.

Roy Moore went into action and minced no words in his debate.

He called for deployment of the Army to the southern border while the details of "the Wall" are worked out.

Moore, a  former prosecutor, laid out the case that appointed Senator Luther Strange is mixed up big time with the enemies of the man whose name Strange used  in vain during the debate, President Donald J. Trump.

He spoke at the beginning of the debate in part:

"...In just about four days the future course of our nation, of our politics in America may well be determined.....Every pundit, editorialist, special interest group, lobbyist in Washington DC is watching to see what happens in the state of Alabama in regards to this race.  Will an elitist Washington Establishment with unlimited millions of dollars... somebody had said 30 million in special money be able to control the people of Alabama....."

Some samples of Judge Moore's comments during the debate:

"I  know that Mr. Strange has been a lobbyist, what he told you....he got Hyundai here and that's what a lobbyist does, represents people, special interests.......My opponent, on the other hand has been a professional lobbyist for over 23 years......He earned 6.674 million dollars during the nine year period from his lobbying disclosure form from 1999 until 2008.....I say he's been a professional lobbyist because for over 23 years he maintained a condo worth over half a million dollars at 801 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC., about six or seven blocks from the Capitol of our country.... What do lobbyists do.  They represent special interests.  Luther Strange, on behalf of Russell Corporation, urged Congress to pass CAFTA (Central America Free Trade Association).  It cost the United States over 4,240 jobs, gone to Mexico and Honduras......You don't get rid of lobbyists in the swamp by sending them to the United States Senate..."

  
I guess you can say Luther Strange is more of a  Washington DC ''swamp creature" than a "Make America Great Again" guy.

Another dead give away as to Senator Strange's real "home" came at the beginning of the debate when Strange acknowledged his wife's absence because of the birth of a grandchild.  Strange said that his wife was '"in Washington".

Judge Moore who said during the debate "I haven't been allowed to get close to the President", has invited President Trump to join him on Saturday for a rally.

Governor Sarah Palin spoke at a rally after the debate in support of Judge Roy Moore saying:

"He was deplorable before deplorable was cool....are you ready to send the loudest message that you can send to DC at this time.  The loudest message to "the swamp".   Are you ready to tell them "Here Comes the Judge"?
