First of all, I am a Christian and I hold to the convictions of my faith strongly. I have never believed that Roy Moore's antics (going back to the 10 Commandments issue) were rooted in his deep commitment to his faith or his convictions. I have always believed it was grand-standing for political gain. Doing that is essentially whoring out Christianity for your own needs, wants, or desires. Even before all of the alleged stuff with being a creep toward teen girls years ago, I did not feel good about voting for him.

Doug Jones, it is very simple. The man is running for office for a party that openly embraces murder of unborn children, and he himself supports it. I will not ever vote for a candidate that is tied to that.

So, I was left with choosing to vote between 2 candidates who both violated my faith-based convictions or writing in a candidate, which is waste of time. I believe that holding strongly to my convictions is more honorable than going to place a vote for someone who violates them. I understand that men have fought and died in battle over the centuries to preserve our way of life that includes freedom to vote that some nations do not have. I'm sure those same men did not also wish to fight and die so that their fellow countrymen years later would have to decide between candidates that both violate their consciences and convictions.

I will also add, that I will NEVER vote for someone who violates my convictions just to push a political party through. If the Republicans want my vote, stop putting terrible candidates out. That's my message.



Well sorry to tell you, this was a vote on reversing Obamas policies...not putting Roy Moore in office. slap

Some folks just do not realize how the world and politics work.

So by not participating we get another dem left wing liberal senator, lose another senate seat, capitulate to all the LEFT WING Soros money and Schumer SENATE MAJORITY PACT money that came into the state.

So you just believe any accusations against someone based on unsubstantiated and even DEBUNKED accusations? Ever hear of DUE PROCESS? INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY!???

And as far as not voting for Jones and abortion,,...well your INACTION will keep libs and abortions happening!

If you feel so strongly about ABORTION,..then why would you let another pro abortion person represent our dam state?

You contradict yourself by trying to be self righteous.

This was a vote about our Presidents agenda getting passed, and with only 2 senate seats ahead of the dems now, instead of 3?...then you might as well know that NOTHING will get passed that we all voted Trump in to get done!

THIS was NOT a vote about the freaking CANDIDATE, it was a vote to move Trumps agenda forward.

However the dems turned it into one with these 40 year old false accusations..and guess what..YOU FELL FOR IT! slap

Im sorry but your self righteous stance is ridiculous.
