What? GOP Establishment Not Helping Judge Roy Moore in Alabama?

ROY MOORE FOR U.S. SENATE

Arthur: The Republican establishment in Washington has decided to abandon conservative Judge Roy Moore (R-AL) in the December 12th special election for U.S. Senate in Alabama. Despite saying for years that all they want to do is elect more Republicans, Senator Mitch McConnell and his cronies have decided to stay out of the Alabama Senate race. Senator McConnell's super PAC and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce both announced that they have no plans to spend money helping Judge Roy Moore defeat his Democrat opponent. After spending millions attacking Moore in the Republican primary, they are now refusing to lift a finger to help him! Please help Roy Moore win this critical race by making a contribution to his grassroots, anti-establishment campaign. The GOP alligators in the DC swamp are actually rooting against Roy Moore. Karl Rove recently wrote a column for the Wall Street Journalarguing that conservatives are unelectable and predicting that the Alabama special election this December will prove it. All of this is further proof that the GOP establishment does not care about electing a Republican majority to the Senate. They only care about electing more pro-establishment senators who support Mitch McConnell's failed leadership. The Alabama Senate race is far from over and Judge Roy Moore needs our help to win it. Recent polls have shown Moore with a single-digit lead, but he's not getting support from party leaders and his opponent is on TV all by himself. If we don't take action to help him get his message out, he could lose this race. Please make a contribution to Roy Moore's campaign today. We need the grassroots – freedom-loving Americans from across the country – to come together to help raise $250,000 for his campaign as soon as possible. We can do it, but we need your help! Your support will help Roy Moore defeat Doug Jones, an ultra-liberal Democrat who supports Obamacare, amnesty for illegal immigrants, federally-controlled education, job-killing regulations, and taxpayer funding for abortion up until birth. Your support will also help elect a rock-solid conservative who isn't afraid to stand up to Mitch McConnell and the other RINOs in the Senate who are blocking a conservative agenda. Please help us by making a contribution of $25, $50, $100, or more today. This is a race conservatives must win. Thank you for doing so much to support conservative leadership in Washington. Together, we will drain the swamp! Sincerely, Ken Cuccinelli II President, Senate Conservatives Fund

Preliminary Thoughts on the UK Special Election: Tories Must Go Right, or Get Left for Good

In May, UK Prime Minister Theresa May called a snap election to shake off the Labour Party and ensure a smoother, quicker transition for the United Kingdom out of the European Union. The Labour Party and the more liberal, statist House of Lords were determined to throw as many roadblocks in the way of enforcement as possible.

The election did not turn out the way that the Tories had intended.

May's party lost seats in the Parliament, even though they won the most seats.

Jeremy "Anti-Semite" Corbin was claiming a huge victory. They won 30 seats while the Tories lost about 13.

The biggest loser? The Scottish Nationalist Party, which lost more seats than the Tories.

Arrogant Corbyn has called for Theresa May to resign as prime minister.

She won't.

But she does not have the 326 majority needed.

Here are the results as of now:

One constituency has yet to be called--Kensington. I predict that the Conservatives will hold that seat, since a Tory represented that seat at the time of the snap election.

So, that leaves the Tories with 319--six seats shy of a majority.

Talks have emerged between the Democratic Unionist Party, based in Northern Ireland.

Here is a victory speech of sorts from the DUP leader:

This election gave the DUP their strongest showing. 10 seats is not a lot for a small party, perhaps, but parliamentary politics permits this kind of show of power for smaller parties. Coalition governments permit smaller parties to flex more muscle, too.

Another response to this election:

The consensus among the voters is for a United Kingdom. The Scottish Nationalists got decimated, and look to descend into further irrelevance. Nick Clegg, the deputy Prime Minister under Cameron following the 2010 election, lost his seat, even though the Lib-Dem Paty gained a few seats. The Green Party won one seat.

While the media went on about how the Tories got crushed another story remains untold.

The DUP is a Catholic and conservative party. They are pro-life and pro-natural marriage. They worked very hard to block passage of gay marriage and abortion laws in parliament.

This is great news for plenary conservatives. In her above statement, DUP Leader Arlene Foster pointed out their commitment to Brexit, as discussions move forward to negotiate the clearest and cleanest departure from the EU.
