Any chance his opponent, Doug Jones, may actually win? I know it's Alabama, but this was a primary after all, and we all know the people who tend to vote in primaries are a little off from the main electorate. I'm guessing the answer is, "Not a snowball's chance . . ." But I don't know anything about Jones, so I'm grasping at whatever thin reed there is this morning.
Cause otherwise, this is a really bad way to start the day. "Judge" Moore is just so absolutely reprehensible. Set aside his complete disregard for our most basic founding principles, like separation of church and state, and you still have his virulent and open anti-gay positions. I mean, seriously, check out the passage below from a
CNN article regarding an opinion Moore wrote regarding child custody and gay parents while on the Alabama Supreme Court:
"I write specially to state that the homosexual conduct of a parent -- conduct involving a sexual relationship between two persons of the same gender -- creates a strong presumption of unfitness that alone is sufficient justification for denying that parent custody of his or her own children or prohibiting the adoption of the children of others," he said in one of the opinion's more tame passages.
In others, Moore labeled "homosexual conduct" by parents as being "detrimental to the children," writing that it "is, and has been, considered abhorrent, immoral, detestable, a crime against nature, and a violation of the laws of nature and of nature's God upon which this nation and our laws are predicated."
Again, I know it's Alabama, but are people really ready to make this guy one of their two representatives in the Senate in a statewide election?
