It isn't "proof" unless you can convince most people of it, and that has not been the intent of the slander campaign; it's all insinuation and about political dirty tricks. If you lived in Alabama and thought Doug Jones better suited your viewpoint, you should vote for him, or stay home and let Doug Jones win.jerrye92002https://www.blogger.com/profile/01858692298982859775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-73020113202721744972017-12-12T22:24:20.047-06:002017-12-12T22:24:20.047-06:00Who gets to decide "totally unqualified"...<i>Who gets to decide "totally unqualified"?</i><br /><br />Uhhh....the voters of Alabama?<br /><br /><i>Are we required to believe unsubstantiated 40-year-old allegations that mysteriously pop up a few weeks before a major election? </i><br /><br />Leave aside there was corroborating evidence, I also said in my previous comment that Moore was unfit even *before* the allegations.

And now that John Conyers has been successfully pressured into resigning (and Al Franken likely will do so tomorrow), our party absolutely cedes the moral high ground on this issue. Hardly seems worth it for a senate candidate who was wholly unqualified even *before* the allegations raised against him.Brad Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10443466836095058736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8916319.post-36159846468834701702017-12-06T10:05:23.207-06:002017-12-06T10:05:23.207-06:00OK, then realistically you have only one choice. ...OK, then realistically you have only one choice.
