Welcome

FAIRHOPE, AL - DECEMBER 05: Republican Senatorial candidate Roy Moore speaks during a campaign event at Oak Hollow Farm on December 5, 2017 in Fairhope, Alabama. Mr. Moore is facing off against Democrat Doug Jones in next week's special election for the U.S. Senate.

The American writer and sage H.L. Mencken once said,  “When somebody says it’s not about the money, it’s about the money.”  So when you see Republicans suddenly cozying up to Roy Moore, an alleged sexual predator, and wonder what’s going on, remember Mencken.

Republicans desperately need Moore’s Senate vote ASAP as the fate of their massive tax bill hangs in the balance.  Here’s a good look at the Reasons-for-Roy from Vox.
