Alabama reporter crushes his states my-sin-is-better-than-your-sin, conservative voting approach

Longtime Alabama political reporter Josh Moon wrote a scathing op-ed apologizing to America for the likes of Roy Moore. It prompted CNN to have him walk through the reasons Alabama citizens still support Moore and that he could still win.
In one piece, Moon argues that there has been too much Bible thumping. Too much holier-than-thou. Too much greed. Too much law breaking. Too much self-involvement.
Moon explained that Moore is a person who was banned from a mall and people still elected him to be a state judge twice.
Now hes on the doorstep of being our U.S. Senator, Moon told CNNs Alisyn Camerota. At some point we owe people apologies for some of the stuff we do here, and until people take stock in what we are as a state and who here electing to lead us I dont think we will ever get past a lot of the troubles we have in the state. I think Roy Moore is a prime example of some of the troubles we have here.

(102,552 posts)1. their religious "beliefs" justified (and in SOME cases still does) Slavery...
so, how can we think they would not continue to hide behind religion with respect to pedophilia on the part of one of their "OWN"...
Much (not all) religious belief in the South has been so corrupted that IT has become the principle problem.
