Alabama GOP: Doug Jones' no vote on Kavanaugh 'betrays our state'
AL.com ^ | September 28, 2018

Posted on 10/03/2018 5:28:03 PM PDT by SMGFan

The Alabama Republican Party said Friday that U.S. Sen. Doug Jones', D-Ala., intention to vote against confirming Brett Kavanaugh "betrays our state."

Jones indicated Thursday night that he would not vote to confirm Kavanaugh to the U.S. Supreme Court, citing what he believed was Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's credible testimony that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when he was a high school student. Alabama's junior senator also suggested that the Senate Judiciary Committee's decision not to subpoena Kavanaugh friend Mark Judge, whom Ford said witnessed the incident, and the committee's failure to receive all relevant documents on Kavanaugh impacted his decision.

Jusge Moore would have been a certain Yes vote. The idiot Republicans in Alabama who voted for Jones carry the weight of this.

Dr. Christine Blasey Ford's credible testimony that Kavanaugh sexually assaulted her when he was a high school student.

Nobody, not even an amoeba can believe that Dr Ford has any credibility in the case. Allegations are not facts, and when those allegations are so far in the distant past, and the accuser has very limited memory of what happened or if it really happened, then, there is nothing credible in the case at all. Doug Jones is blatantly lying about the reason he's voting no. He's voting NO because he is not allowed to "think" or do anything on his own. He is merely a puppet among 49 other puppets on the democrat side of the senate.

“Sessions was never the man conservatives thought he was.”

Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought that Sessions would conspire with the deep-state to overthrow the man that gave him the AG job.

He’s going to go down in post American history as the most monumental backstabbing rat bastard traitors there ever was.

“You have to add Hannity’s backstabbing to the mix. He did his very best, his best effort ever, to get the democrat elected.”

Agreed. He’s made me sick with his “let her testify” crap with Ford.

Just now, Joe DiGenova mentioned that Ford was not telling the truth; Hannity piped up and said it did not matter.

He insists that he is not optimistic that the Republicans will maintain control of Congress. He is insisting the Red State democrats will not vote for Kavanaugh unless Republicans do; sounds like he is trying to provide a pathway for the democrats to vote against Kavanaugh.

Hannity is evidently compromised.

I heard that and then Joe said something about putting pressure on Murkowski with anwar and sean said, no, that would hurt the workers.

I think Sean just talks out of his ass most of the time. I like his show because of the guests he has on if he’d ever let them speak.

“Jones is TOAST!”

Jones should have never gotten the seat. Alabama put up with that loony toon, Roy Moore for way too long. He’s a nut case!

It was the primary process that messed up. I would have voted for Moore, but Strange would have easily won.

I can’t stand Hannity; generally everything that comes out of his mouth is pure sh!t.
Hannity is what I call a “conservative of convenience”, he can sound like a conservative when it suits his needs or the needs of his sponsors.
Hannity is what we should all call a “POSTMODERN NEOCON”.
In other words an incoherent idiot, with out his fingers and toes to count off his talking points, perhaps his guests would get a chance to actually answer one of his questions.
