INDY REPUBLICAN endorses Lee Busby in Alabama Senate Contest


Colonel Lee Busby

We have like many our fellow conservatives and republicans have watched with dismay as it appears Fake Christian/Conservative/Republican Roy Moore seems to be on his way to winning his race for the Senate in Alabama. But earlier this week a man has entered the Senate race as a write-in candidate against pedophile Judge Roy Moore and Pro-Abortion Extremist Doug Jones. This man is worthy of being in the United States Senate. Indy Republican is proud to endorse Colonel Lee Busby for the Senate seat in Alabama.


When retired Marine Col. Lee Busby read it was too late for a write-in candidate for the Alabama Senate race, he said, “Hold my beer, we will just see about that.” 
Busby told The Daily Beast on Monday he is launching his long-shot bid to stop Republican nominee Roy Moore from reaching the Senate. 
“I have no idea if the allegations against him true or not, but I don’t see anything within his experience as a judge that qualifies him for the job.”
Busby said his state needs a choice other than Moore or Democrat Doug Jones.
“Alabama is not happy with the two choices we have down here. They are not appealing.”
Laporta also points out that Busby was at one time Vice Chief of Staff to then General now White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. Laporta goes onto say since his retirement from the Marine Corps “Busby has been the CEO of his own business and worked as a defense consultant and investment banker. At the same time, Busby has been honoring fallen Marines with sculptures like the one he was working on in his garage prior to his Senate announcement.”
Here is a photograph of a sculpture  done by Colonel Busby:


Michael Scherer of the Washington Post provided some additional background information on Lee Busby
Lee Busby, 60, of Tuscaloosa, Ala., said he thinks that the allegations of sexual impropriety against Republican nominee Roy Moore have created an opportunity for a centrist candidate to win more than a third of the state’s votes in the Dec. 12 special election. 
 “I think you can flip this thing. If this were a military operation, the left flank and the right flank are heavily guarded,” Busby said. “I think that gives you an opportunity to run straight up the middle.”
“I just don’t believe that either one of them are qualified to be in the U.S. Senate,” Busby said of Moore and Democratic candidate Doug Jones, noting that both men’s professional experience was in the law.
As for the allegations of Moore having inappropriate contact with teenage girls, which Moore has denied, Busby said he was not certain of the truth. 
“It has created enough distaste in my mind,” he said. “As a voter, I don’t need to get to the bottom of it.”
Busby said he voted for Ohio Gov. John Kasich in the 2016 Republican presidential primary and Donald Trump in the general election. He said he supports Republican efforts to lower taxes, though he has not examined the House and Senate tax reform proposals. He said that he wants to repeal Obamacare and that life begins at conception, though there should be exceptions in antiabortion laws for cases of rape, incest or threats to the life of the mother. 
 “At some point, it becomes a human life,” he said of an unborn fetus. “And you have to protect those who can’t protect themselves.” 
Busby said he had not spoken to Kelly about his plans, but he foresees talking with him if his last-minute campaign gains traction. 
“It may make an interesting phone call,” he said.
Senator Richard Shelby R-AL

The last minute entrance of Busby into the race is all the more interesting. Because Alabama Republican Senator Richard Shelby told The Hill he didn’t vote for Roy Moore:
"No, no, no, I voted absentee. I didn't vote for him. I voted for a distinguished Republican write-in," Shelby told reporters when asked if he would vote for Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women. 
Is it possible that Shelby voted for Busby? Who knows? But the timing is certainly intriguing.
