Moore Back In the Saddle?

Monday, February 5th, 2007

Roy Moore has formed a new coalition of conservative political groups dedicated to “restoring” America to some version of a right-wing fundie wet dream.  Oh, wait.  I bet fundies don’t have those.  Or if they do, they punish themselves severely.
I don’t know what party affiliation Roy’s claiming these days — he’s fed up with Republicans [...]

Moore Sees Himself As a Fighter

Wednesday, May 17th, 2006

Boy, is this not a news flash. The Birmingham News has a long feature on Roy today, basically telling us that he’s combative and paranoid. I think we knew that already.
Using an old bucket for a seat, Moore sits down to explain that he doesn’t really like politics. It’s a peculiar statement from [...]

Seen On a Birmingham Bumper

Friday, May 5th, 2006

“Hey Roy — Moses Wants His Tablets Back”
Unfortunately, it was a homemade bumper sticker, so I have no way to buy one for myself or tell y’all where to get one.

Can You Say “Paranoid”?

Thursday, April 20th, 2006

Roy Moore is accusing George W. Bush of trying to make him lose the Republican primary. Bush came to Tuskegee University yesterday to push science (a real departure for him, but that’s another story), and Gov. Riley was there, too. Obvious evidence of a conspiracy, according to Roy. Common courtesy to the [...]

I Guess I’ll Get To Vote In the Democratic Primary After All

Monday, April 17th, 2006

The latest poll of likely Republican voters in Alabama shows Bob Riley leading Roy Moore by 44 points.
The Mobile Press-Register/University of South Alabama poll found that 64 percent of people who identified themselves as Republican primary voters planned to vote for Riley. Moore, the ousted Alabama Supreme Court chief justice, was favored by 20 percent [...]

Moore Protege Parker To Run for Chief Justice

Wednesday, April 5th, 2006

Oh, goody! More blog fodder for those of us who follow Alabama politics — Tom Parker has formally announced his candidacy for Chief Justice. Tom was the only one of the Roy-Moore-wannabes who managed to win a Supreme Court seat in the last election, despite their constant vilification of the incumbent judges who [...]

Roy Protests Pentagon Prayer Policy

Thursday, March 30th, 2006

There’s just one problem — the Pentagon policy doesn’t say what he says it says. Does that make sense? If not, it’s business as usual for Roy.
Roy Moore joined the cause of a Navy chaplain today by protesting a Pentagon policy they believe prohibits clergy in the military from using sectarian prayer in [...]

The Truth Will Out

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

My friend Melissa passed along this report on Roy Moore’s speech to the Blount County Chamber of Commerce:
The Blount County Chamber of Commerce is in the middle of using its monthly breakfast meeting to host the four gubernatorial candidates. Today, former Chief Justice Roy Moore spoke at the breakfast in Oneonta. The majority [...]

Roy Says He Won’t Leave GOP To Run Against Riley As Independent

Tuesday, March 21st, 2006

I guess the rumor mill is fairly convinced that Riley has the Republican nomination for governor sewn up. I hope it’s correct. Roy had to call a press conference to declare that he is a Republican and won’t leave his party.
“I am a Republican and I intend to become the next Republican governor [...]

Can You Say “Desperate”?

Wednesday, February 15th, 2006

Roy Moore has asked the head of the state Republican Party to step aside till after the primary, claiming she favors Bob Riley. Want some cheese to go with that whine, Roy?
