Heard this on Rush's show this afternoon. Copy content lifted from his website:

Quote:
RUSH: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw that. And there’s a Fox News poll that has Roy Moore down 10 in the election tomorrow. And of course the Drive-Bys are harping all over that one. It’s Fox News, Fox News, Fox News loves Roy Moore, they think. They are what they accuse Fox News of being. The Drive-Bys are, in what they do, what they accuse Fox of being. Partisan, agenda-driven.

Anyway, if you look at the Fox News poll, there’s a strange thing in it. Donald Trump won Alabama by plus 28. Do you know what the Republican sample was versus the Democrat sample in this Fox poll? Plus two. Alabama is a red state. There are many, many, many more Republicans than there are Democrats, and yet in the Fox News poll, only 2% more Republicans were part of the sample. Well, voters, likely voters, but I don’t care. Voters or likely voters, if you’ve got a state where it’s, let’s just say, 20% more Republicans than Democrats, how do you do a poll with only 2% more Republicans? I have no idea. Actually I do.

I’m just getting tired of saying the same thing. The media lies. I’m just getting tired of it. Can’t trust the media. I’ve known this for many, many moons. Frank Luntz, we’ve got the sound bite, Frank Luntz did a — you know, he’s establishment pollster and focus grouper and whatever he does, and he assembled a focus group of people in Alabama. He couldn’t find a single person to say a bad thing about Roy Moore. He was shocked. He was flabbergasted. He couldn’t believe it.

The people will speak tomorrow.

I pledge tonight to abide by their choice. It is their election.

Will the lefties make the same pledge?
Of whine and cry like babies and shout RUSSIANS?
Will you holier-than-thou types respect the result?
(This is what Hillary asked of Trump, so it must be DNC sanctioned to do so.)

In a move of questionable taste,a pro Trump support group had a 12 year old girl interview Judge Roy Moore.

Piece of advice, sweetie.If the Judge asks you to go disco dancing afterwards, politely decline.

I’m just enjoying the idea that things are so f’d up on the far right that they think they might elect a Democrat in freaking Alabama.

It’s one thing to have a candidate that gets the deeply unpopular Harry Reid re-elected in Nevada in a good year for Republicans. But actually thinking there is a competitive race in the deepest of deep red states?

Well done, Steve Bannon!

I don't see Moore loosing. The voters there know it's a win win. They can elect him and if he resigns or is booted they still get to put a republican in there. So in reality many probably aren't voting for Moore they're voting for whomever his replacement will be.

I don’t see Moore losing either. He’ll get elected and be the poster boy in every 2018 Democratic campaign.

Alabama is Alabama and they’ll elect Roy Moore.

That is no endorsement for the Republican brand in the rest of the country though.

It’s pretty hard to see a way Democrats lose this election in the long run. They either get a seat for a short period that Republicans had no business losing or they get get to plaster Roy Moore on the back of every Republican running in November.

If they can get Al Franken to quit. Then they can compare what drove Franken out with what Moore brings in, and claim what passes for the moral high ground in Washington.

Until the democrats clean up their sexual assault house Moore winning will make zero difference

You lost BECAUSE of HILLARY, you were never going to win BECAUSE of Trump.
But keep denying reality - and stock up on ROLAIDS!

Exactly right! Hillary has a rare personality disorder called Aintgotnone.
