I honestly don't care what positions Alabama Democrat Doug Jones takes on ANYTHING.

[pnwmom]

There are no issues I'm not willing to "throw under the bus" in order to keep the evil, twisted Roy Moore from being a Senator.

Doug Jones, whoever the heck you are, I am giving to your campaign!

ON EDIT: I"ve already donated through Act Blue.

1. A Democrat ALWAYS

is better than a republican. republicans are evil. They are like a case of small pox. Nothing redeeming about either, and both can kill you.

[calimary]

17. For me it's "A Democrat ONLY."

[Bradshaw3]

2. Yes!!!!

Me too.

[stonecutter357]

3. K&R

[obamanut2012]

4. I think Moore will win, and if Scott replaces Nelson next year

WE are fucked.

[bitterross]

5. Agreed! No Litmus test please.

Almost anything is better than Roy Moore

[angrychair]

16. To be blunt

A stick of butter is better than Moore.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

6. +1

[JoeOtterbein]

7. Yep!

Me three!

[TomSlick]

8. No litmus test is possible.

Moore is a fanatic. He makes the most radical Repugnant you can imagine seem down right reasonable.

[Orrex]

9. I loved him in Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth

He's got my vote!

[Thor_MN]

10. Moore's best feature is that Trump supported Strange. Jones isn't Moore, good enough for me.

[mcar]

11. K&R

[rpannier]

12. So you can feel at ease knowing he's a pretty good person

Jones prosecuted Thomas Blanton and Bobby Cherry, two members of the Ku Klux Klan, for their roles in the 1963 16th Street Baptist Church bombing.
The case was reopened the year before Jones was appointed, but did not pick up traction until his appointment.
A grand jury was called in 1998 which piqued Cherry's ex-wife, Willadean Cherry's, attention and led her to calling the FBI to report her testimony. Willadean then introduced Jones to family and friends who reported their own experiences from the time of the bombing.
A key piece of evidence was a tape from the time of the bombing in which Blanton stated that he had had to meet up with others to make the bomb. Jones was deputized in order to argue in state court and was able to indict Blanton and Cherry in 2000

[pnwmom]

13. Well, that's a nice bonus. But I'm supporting him no matter what. n/t

[rpannier]

15. Right. Agreed

But it's nice to be voting for someone instead of just against someone

[Initech]

14. Roy Moore isn't just evil. He's off the rails batshit crazy.

We have to do everything possible to stop him!

[IronLionZion]

20. Moore is too crazy for Trump

so enough said

[barbtries]

18. me too

been pushing him on twitter all day in fact.

[IronLionZion]

19. Someone here will find some reason to throw every Democrat under the bus

doesn't matter how liberal. Some DUers hunt for reasons to help us lose. Especially in red states or very competitive races for open seats.

[Atticus]

21. I agree. nt

[Best_man23]

22. Heard part of an interview with Moore on Sirius Progress

Dude is off the chain crazy. Democrats need to put resources (political operatives as well as money) into Jones' campaign.

Its a long shot (frankly, extreme long shot), but I think this seat could be flipped if all the cards and stars align right. Other than Gov and state races in VA and NJ, what other campaigns are taking place between today and December?

[Lifelong Protester]

23. K & R!

A Democrat for me. Only.

[NastyRiffraff]

24. YES!

I wish I could rec multiple times. Unless we find Jones is a serial killer or a pedophile, he has my support.

[Motley13]

33. still better than Moore

[trof]

48. Doug is honest, intelligent and just a fine man.

I've met him and I was impressed.

[CousinIT]

25. Donated to him today too. I don't even live there.

But I can toss a few bucks his way!

[pnwmom]

27. And the matches make your donation even more effective. n/t

[JI7]

26. but how about the TPP , isn't that THE MOST IMPORTANT issue ever

HAHAHHAHAHAH

[jberryhill]

28. I only have two litmus test questions for an opponent to Moore

1. Does he cast a shadow in bright light?

2. Does he breathe air?

[pnwmom]

29. LOL. Yeah, I could go along with those. n/t

[Wounded Bear]

35. 3. Can you see his reflection in a mirror..

[radical noodle]

30. The slug in my garden

would be better than Roy freaking Moore.

[DesertRat]

31. K&R

[Sucha NastyWoman]

32. Its hard, but we need to keep this in mind

when Democrats who are now getting elected in red states need to vote the way we dont like sometimes. Ex: Joe Mansion

I get angry at stuff he says sometimes and his chumming around with Trump, but we have to remember that he may be doing what he needs to do keep that seat for the Democrats. I'll hate it when they vote some gun control measure down, but they will be there to vote the right way on some things at least. Better than having a Republican vote 100% the way McConnel or Ryan tell them to.

[leftstreet]

37. Who is Joe Mansion? n/t

[IronLionZion]

41. Joe Manchin, WV

our most conservative Democrat is often still better for us than their most moderate Republican on many important party line issues

[GulfCoast66]

50. Often?

Please name one time you prefer the republican. Please delete your post or change often to Always.

[pnwmom]

38. Exactly! We were much better off when we had some of those DINO's in red states

than we are with the Rethugs controlling everything.

[IronLionZion]

42. A lot of red state DINOs got us the ACA, Dodd Frank, Justices Kagan and Sotomayor,

and lots of other important stuff. People around here are a bit too quick to throw red state Dems under the bus just to see them replaced by tea party extremists

[pnwmom]

43. Yes -- thanks for the reminder.

[haveahart]

34. Intelligent Republicans (if there are any) ought to join you.

[Wounded Bear]

36. From here on out, I'm applying litmus tests to Repubs...

and only Repubs.

YMMV

[DemoTex]

39. My R/W sister in Alabama is voting for Jones.

Talked with her last night. She worked in an Alabama congressional office (GOP) in DC for thirty years, and was a friend of Luther Strange's. She did not vote for Trump, and the ascendance of Roy Moore is too much for her.

[pnwmom]

40. That's a good sign!

[IronLionZion]

44. Doug Jones' platform in a nutshell

https://dougjonesforsenate.com/priorities/
I’ll take those values to the U.S. Senate and work hard for all the people of Alabama:

Everyone has the right to quality, affordable health care.
We must restore Alabama’s trust for its elected leaders.
I will defend a woman’s right to choose and stand with Planned Parenthood.
All children deserve a first-class education regardless of where they live.
College must be affordable without burdening a student with overwhelming debt.
I believe in science and will work to slow or reverse the impact of climate change.
It is past time we raise the minimum wage to a livable wage.
Women must be paid an equal wage for equal work at all levels.
Voter suppression is unAmerican – we must protect voting rights.
Discrimination cannot be tolerated or protected. America is best when it builds on diversity and is welcoming of the contributions of all.

He's got a fighting chance. Should be liberal enough for even the most pretentious ivory tower elitists around here.

[Greybnk48]

45. Haha! I don't care either and I sent some $

via Act Blue as well. I also sent money for the person Skinner endorsed, who I have no clue about, but I trust Skinner.

[lastlib]

46. I will also, when I have a bit to spare!

[trof]

47. THANK YOU FROM AN ALABAMIAN!

[pnwmom]

49. You're welcome, trof!

I know you Dems aren't responsible for him -- and a good number of GOP probably can't stand him either.

[ATL Ebony]

51. Heard his Chuck Todd interview -- very impressed. Definitely making contributions
