Roy Moore Defeats Luther Strange in Alabama Senate Race

The Washington examiner is reporting

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — Roy Moore defeated Sen. Luther Strange on Tuesday in a closely watched special election for an Alabama Senate seat, as frustrated Republican voters rebuked their party's leadership in Congress for failing to repeal Obamacare and deliver other marquee promises.

Roy Moore is just a bit crazier than Luther Strange, and right up there with Jefferson Beauregard "Keebler Elf" Sessions, whose vacated senate seat he just won. Happily, ol' Roy will be the 100th senator in seniority and none of his peers will pay the slightest attention to him.

Think what you may of Strange, the amount of trash that he represents is worlds better than Moore. Wonder to what extend the Democrats will fight to win this one...

We have limited resources but we are organizing and trying to elect Doug Jones. Anyone you know in the area, call them and tell them to support Doug Jones. Watch the video below to learn a little about him.

An open racist, and I'm talking full on robes wearing, pointy hat motherfucker, could run in the Deep South states and win.
