RNC to Support Alabama GOP Sen Candidate Roy Moore

Thank you for the links @ksinger and @telephone89

How Moore managed to get 10 votes amazes me. Jimmy Kimmel was hysterical last night when he told Moore "God decided, it's over".

Arkieb, Many of us would like to see decency return to the White House.

@jaaron , It looks like Trump learned a new word "mightily".
 
Thank you, Captain Obvious! DF, this is your quote of the decade. Have you been reading Dale Carnegie?
Unlike the left wingers here I post the truth...:praise:
 
Some Christians do not believe in swearing on what was referred to as a "Christian Bible", by the way. Jehovah's Witnesses and members of The Society of Friends (Quakers) do not do that. If asked to swear on a Bible they say, "I will not swear, but I will affirm" and many oaths are already worded to ask, "Will you swear or affirm?".

The two main parties here in Australia wouldn't touch a candidate like that. The fact he was allowed to run and got so many votes, forget stupid, there is something badly broken in the US. Just look at your President.
 
I was a notary for awhile and that is true. You do not have to swear. You can also "affirm" which carries the same legal weight. As far as swearing on something other than a Bible, I have not personally seen it, but I don't know if that's due to common practice.
 
kenny and telephone, I have to thank you for pushing me to go to YouTube because when I went there I found this:

It has not only the clip of which you made me (thank you so very much) aware, but much more of the wonderful evening show put on for the election by Roy Moore and his wife and friends. I had seen only the video clip in which Mrs. Moore had cooed that they were proud to announce that one of their attorneys was a Jew, but had missed the rest of the evening's highlights, and certainly all of Jimmy Kimmel's comments! This link provides all that was missing for me the first time around. (I laughed my derriere off.)

Oh gosh, thank you for sharing that. Very "I'm not racist, I have a black friend!". And I still laughed when I saw the Ted Crockett part. When I first watched it I thought the screen had frozen - and then I saw him blink LOL.
 
The article does describe it, but there's a little bit of just dead air with the guys stupid face like "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" that I find really hilarious. The written words dont QUITE capture it

TAPPER: Judge Moore has also said that he doesn't think a Muslim member of Congress should be allowed to be in Congress. Why? Under what provision of the Constitution?

CROCKETT: Because you have to swear on the Bible -- when you are before -- I had to do it. I'm an elected official, three terms, I had to swear on a Bible. You have to swear on a Bible to be an elected official in the United States of America. He alleges that a Muslim cannot do that, ethically, swearing on the Bible.

TAPPER: You don't actually have to swear on a Christian bible, you can swear on anything, really. I don't know if you knew that. You can swear on a Jewish Bible.

CROCKETT: Oh no. I swore on the Bible. I've done it three times.

TAPPER: I'm sure you have, I'm sure you've picked a Bible but the law is not that you have to swear on a Christian Bible. That is not the law. CROCKET BLINKS You don't know that? CROCKET CONTINUES TO BLINK LIKE A DEER IN HEADLIGHTS, WITH MOUTH AGAPE All right. BLINK BLINK Ted Crockett with the Moore --

CROCKETT: I don't know. I know that Donald Trump did it when he -- when we made him President.

TAPPER: Because he's Christian and he picked it. That's what he wanted to swear in on. Ted Crockett with the Moore campaign. Good luck tonight. Thank you so much for being here. My panel will react when we get back

There, does that help? :lol::lol:
