Quick!!! Change the subject!!!

Last edited Thu Nov 16, 2017, 10:09 AM - Edit history (1)

We have a race in Alabama that should be a blowout. No chance for a Democrat to win. Here is the real deal. Jones is going to win it.

I’ve seen numerous calls to change the subject. Back off the sexual predator and talk issues. It’s beyond offensive. Sexually abusing girls and women is an enormous issue. We are being savaged by these predators every single day.

Now let’s look at the party breakdown aspect. Republicans are tearing themselves up over it. Many of them are justifying these sick acts. The others are trashing their own nominee. This is being done at the national level. Every Democrat is opposed to Moore. Every one. So we have a situation where DEMS are united, Republicans are shitting themselves, and we want to get back to other issues. To be clear, said argument requires one to believe the abuse of women is not a MAJOR issue.

The election is under one month away. Paint them all as either pedophiles or supporters of pedophilia. There has been a big change with the yearbook that many aren’t recognizing. It’s the reason for the extreme attempt to discredit it. Numerous women coming forward is considered agenda driven to even many moderate Republicans. There word is not to simply be taken and their first thoughts are to question the women themselves, not Moore. The yearbook is evidence. It’s not attached to a person. It’s a mental thing. Women/dishonest agenda. Yearbook/evidence.

This election is under a month away and Jones is going to win if no skeletons come out. Use this race to our advantage. Put the Alabama Republican Party on full display for the nation. They like to keep there dirt within the state. Sunlight baby!!!!

...to expose Republican and evangelical Christian hypocrisy.

Perhaps this will cause a few to take off their tinfoil hats and think for themselves for a change.

And the Republicans are helping us to keep it a front page story. I would have a different opinion if the election was months down the road.

With such a short time to go we keep on it. Specially with Republicans helping.

Repugs take every opportunity to say ....but Hillary or ......but Bill, ....but her emails, etc.

Now, we can use this forever: .....but Roy Moore.

And we can tie that to tRumps's malfeasance with women. His, and other Repug's actions as well.

Lord help us, it better fail. Even Republicans may want to hope it fails because the backlash is going to be so devastating when people see their own bank accounts shrink and their loved ones suffer from lack of healthcare.

Simply do a google news search for tax. Go to the DNC website to read their opinions. Go to the website of every major news outlet.

We are walking and chewing gum. If this is sneaking its strange how many are openly talking about it. It’s about as sneaky as Moore trolling malls.

I’m pretty optimistic right now but I’m not naive(you didn’t say I was).

It’s the nice thing about this tax plan. They have even made it unsavory for people like Manchin. This is an area of great concern for me as I think a number of our members might be succeptable to Republican tax plans of years past. They have made this one too offensive for even the most conservative of D’s.

and would routinely make up excuses to rob red state Dems of any choice to vote for a Dem.

The main reason some of DU's finest ratfuckers want to change the subject is because the election is less than a month away and we can win, so they would like to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory as some sort of sick "proof" that Dems should remember our place as urban coastal elitists or we might spill our soy milk lattes from all the excitement.

I kinda think AL Dems should just let the GOP run damage control and focus energy on appealing to everyday issues voters give a crap about.

Significant portions of rural Alabama, especially the Black Belt are susceptible to hookworms because there's no sewer system. Doug should talk about that.

“on appealing to everyday issues voters give a crap about. ”

Most of them give a serious fuck about sexually assaulting children. You followed it up with an even more offensive second paragraph.

Transparent.

I'm in Alaska, so can only send money, but I'll tell you this - my kid is persistent and has all her friends (which are legion) signed up for Doug. Every 35 year old and down in her area are going to vote DOUG! Plus many of those who take her supplemental classes at UAB!
