Alabama: Politico Reveals Secret Funding of Democrat Candidate Doug Jones
Newsbusters ^ | December 11, 2017 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 12/11/2017 7:16:01 PM PST by PJ-Comix

One of the big questions surrounding the December 12 election in Alabama for the U.S. Senate seat is who is behind a mystery super PAC backing Democrat candidate Doug Jones against Republican Roy Moore. The Washington Post last Thursday claimed that there was no evidence of such funding by George Soros. However on the day before the election, Politico weighed in with a big story about the mystery super PAC, Highway 31, with much greater detail of the players involved.

First we begin with the Washington Post denial that there was evidence of Soros financing the Jones campaign via secret super PAC:

Per the article

The pair of Washington-based super PACs are two of the largest in Democratic politics. Priorities spent at least $190 million to try and elect Clinton in 2016, while Senate Majority spent more than $90 million in that election cycle.

The groups have collected checks from a gamut of top Democratic donors, led by longtime party contributors like George Soros, Jim Simons, Haim Saban and Fred Eychaner. While both Jones and Moore have gotten support from other outside groups in recent weeks, Highway 31 is by far the biggest-spending.

I hope you’re right. Moore is toast if we are to believe FNC. The tax cut and the wall are dead too Moore loses.

Yes it is. My goodness. They have ads running everywhere. Tv, radio, social media. I am getting them on pandora. There is no way in hell mr jones will win but the have thrown in a huge amount of money. When it’s all over they will think that us stupid hicks were just dumb. I posted this earlier but it’s so true. Democrat party isn’t representative of Alabama.

No worries the democrat will not win. See my handle. Bank on it.

No one wants to be embarrassed. Electing Doug Jones, a Democrat, would be embarrassing.

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of gay rights but no Christian rights.

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of Anti gun rights when guns are an inalienable right.

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of Transsexual rights but no rights for men or families.

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of Anti God but worship Mother Earth.

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of High tax and micro management from federal bureaucracies

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of foreign Energy dependence and no American energy jobs

Why would Alabamians vote for the party of Murdering babies while coddling criminals or importing Mexicans and Muslims.

Yes we don’t want to embarrass ourselves. Doug Jones has run to the far right for this election but he is a democrat and no one is falling for it.

Doug jones claims he is pro gun, pro Christian, pro business, anti Obama care .... then dougie why are you a democrat. No one can be those things and be a democrat. Lying isn’t helping and we aren’t dumb hicks. BTW Dougie where did the 30-40 million come from to hear comercials during your comercials? If dougie is so conservative why is the national commie party bankrolling your fantasy?

It’s anything but secret. Any half-awake person knows Soros is a Jones benefactor.

The voters in AL could do all of those things if they are uninformed and do not exercise diligence.

It’s not always reliable but I don’t know anyone who is pro Jones. His run to the “far right” has pissed the liberals off.

Him bragging in his comercials about how many guns he has doesn’t work on liberals and conservatives aren’t falling for it.

I have said Moore by 8 percent but after 2 more weeks of Jones’s comercials, I say 11. We will see tomorrow. BTW we have strong voter ID requirements.

not to worry: the Fox poll is a VERY fake poll:
