Doug Jones – the Democratic Senate candidate looking to capitalize on sexual harassment allegations waged against Republican rival Roy Moore – is trying to change his radical anti-life, pro-abortion stance to usher in the pro-life votes of his competitor.

Dubbed a full-term abortion backer from his own comments and political platform, Jones is reportedly attempting to mask his extreme views on abortion to court Alabama voters in an overwhelming pro-life state.

The old Kerry flip-flop?

Looking to distance himself from previous comments he made on the hot-button issue – including the fact that he rejects any restrictions on abortion until the day of the baby’s birth – Jones is now trying to reposition his abortion stance through the media.

The liberal politician previously told MSNBC that he becomes a “right-to-lifer” only after a baby is born, but he is now telling the media that he is a victim of an “attack” by those who have labeled him as a radical pro-abortion advocate.

“Those comments, everybody wants to attack you so they are going to make out on those comments what they want to their political advantage,” Jones told Al.com. “To be clear, I fully support a woman’s freedom to choose to what happens to her own body. That is an intensely, intensely personal decision that only she, in consultation with her god, her doctor, her partner or family, that’s her choice.”

In his attempt to disarm pro-life voters in Alabama, Jones maneuvered to soften his pro-late-term abortion stance.....

We all know that Leftwing politicians do not suffer from common sense, moral integrity or an ability to process logical relationships. If Doug Jones believes that this little dance will fool Alabama Conservatives, he is delusional.

Interesting!

Of curse these loons have obviously lost any sense of perspective--if they ever had any.

I, of course, meant “of course”; not “curse.” And I was not trying to be cute.

I imagine most Alabamians see Doug Jones as little more than a scalawag.

A reconstruction-era term, it meant a southerner who cooperated with the Union Army to oppress other southerners.

It is not a complement.

If he gets elected he will vote as the Party leadership tells him.

No Democrat votes with the GOP-ever.

Get this Alabama voters, all of you White, Black, Hispanic, or otherwise....there is you, Judge, Roy Moore, and then there are your enemies, Doug “The Baby Killer” Jones, the Republican & Democrat Party Establishments, Republicans “In Name Only” and, the Mainstream Media.

Fact: They hate all of you folks, each and everyone of you.

So...wise up, and vote for Judge Roy Moore to become the next Senator from Alabama on Election Day, Tuesday, December 12, 2017 and sent the message that you stand for what you believe in, and always will as “Free” individual Americans who love and adore their state and nation. Do it!! MAGA!!!
