Flake on Jones victory: 'Decency wins'
The Hill ^ | 12/12/17 | Brett Samuels

Posted on 12/13/2017 4:18:55 AM PST by x1stcav

Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) responded to Democrat Doug Jones’s victory Tuesday in the Alabama Senate race by saying “Decency wins.”

Flake, who has announced he will not seek reelection in 2018, was a vocal critic of Republican candidate Roy Moore.

Moore was plagued during the campaign by allegations of sexual misconduct, including accusations that he made advances on teenagers when he was in his 30s.

Flake wrote Jones’s campaign a $100 check, writing “Country over Party” in the memo line.

Flake pointed to Moore’s past remarks that Muslims should not serve in Congress as an indicator he is “unfit” for office.

Pro-abortion Democrats are not “decent.”

Unlimited Abortion = “Decency.”

Mormon’s have interesting morals.

Mormons have morals other than acquiring more power for mormons.

Democrats who forge “evidence” are not decent.

McConnell and crew are celebrating this morning, their hand picked candidate won the race and now they've discovered all they need to take out any non-establishment approved candidate is to pay a couple "nuts and sluts" to accuse the candidate of some vague offense from 4 decades ago...

I'm guessing paid "nuts and sluts" will be pouring out of the woodwork anytime a non-uniparty candidate even thinks of running.

Did the Army get rid of McConnell because of in-Decency?

I like Sheriff Joe as least as much as the next guy around here, and Sheriff Joe is too old.

Serving in a Country that is founded on freedom and liberty? Well because they do not believe in freedom and liberty. Because their religion seeks to destroy freedom and liberty.

There’s nothing decent about any lawmaker who promotes abortion

That’s all

There’s nothing decent about bearing false witness against your neighbor either.

In a national election, it isn’t a wise thing to say.

The GOP plan:
Lack of GOP support and GOP backstabbing makes DEMS win.

decency wins?

the USofA is just about decency?

What is decent about illegal aliens law breakers coming and living here, murdering some of us harming others?

what is decent about killing unborn children?

what is decent about citizens and non citizens having access to tax payer monies that approx 10 times as many millions that voted for Jones, have voted for Trump to try to stop.

what is decent about you, flake, saying you’d represent your constituents and yet you cast votes on matters against most of them?

seems you don’t know the meaning of the word decency, you flake.

“There’s nothing decent about bearing false witness against your neighbor either.”

I was referring to flake pretending the Democrat was decent. He can’t be. He legislates for abortion

To whom are you referring?

Polling showed that 80% of those pulling the lever for Jones support legalized abortion under any circumstances, and that it should be the law of the land.

God is not amused.

Isn’t losing Alabama enough. Arizona is going to be much harder then Alabama should have been. We need to get a winner in Arizona, Nevada, Tennessee and others. That guy running for Tennessee Democrat is a worry since he won statewide twice....we better hit a home run on that seat.
