Doug Jones is outspending Roy Moore 10-to-1 on the Alabama airwaves
NBC "News" ^ | November 28, 2017 | by CARRIE DANN

WASHINGTON - Democrat Doug Jones is outspending embattled Republican Roy Moore by nearly 10 to one in Alabama’s closely watched Senate race, but his message on the airwaves over the past three weeks hasn’t completely focused on the sexual misconduct scandal that has enveloped Moore.

According to the ad-tracking group Advertising Analytics LLC, Jones’ campaign has shoveled $5.6 million into television and radio ads during the general election, compared to about $600,000 by Moore’s team. That 10-to-1 advantage for Jones is almost unchanged from two weeks ago.

The outside group Highway 31 has contributed another $512,000 to pro-Jones ads during the general election, while Proven Conservative PAC has backed Moore with about $40,000 in TV spending.

And, not one of his campaign ads mention the fact that Doug Jones is a democrat. Wonder why?

Djt overcame the dark side forces. But just barely. And while heavily putspent, he still had a ton of money that Judge Moore lacks. I remain afraid

Trump proved air-time means nothing.

Dems haven’t learned.

Good.

And he proved his allegiance by burning people.

OK Anyone from Alabama -— is this humongous spending helping Jones in the polls at all?

I know that the GOP is not going to help Moore out in the campaign and he’s practically on his own.

” I realize that this is something kind of unique to me”

I don’t think that is unique to you, I would think that is a common reaction for people above the devolved simian intelligence level. It is why I never buy things from companies that advertise in my face, or go to used car dealerships. On the other hand, they wouldn’t do it if it didn’t work.

If 10:1 is good, imagine how awesome 20:1 would be

And that’s why some of us still donate to Moore - the Left will pull out all the stops to try to get a two-fer as they try to stop a Conservative and perform a serious upset in a Red State....if Moore loses, we are part of the problem.

If Judge Moore wins, it will signal that we are continuing in a new era in politics.

Birth of the Restoration Party.

“How much has the RNC secretly donated to the Jones’ campaign?”

Prolly 70-80%. Trump should just declare himself a new party.

Jones is getting a lot of help from all over the Leftist spectrum. They want that seat so badly they’d even lie about Roy Moore to get it I’d bet. /S

Personally, I was much more a fan of Henry V.

But Shakespeare probably had something to do with it. Henry V was a powerful and truly inspirational person.

One of my favorites though, was Oliver Cromwell. He was hated by the king who attempted to rule England WITHOUT PARLIAMENT, and even to eliminate parliament. The same king (I believe Charles I of England) raised taxes many times (imprisoning many who could no longer pay his taxes), often seizing their weapons and even homes, and then emptied the “public treasury” to literally pay for a FOREIGN ARMY to defeat his own English Army and to subdue its citizens, as the English Army largely remained loyal to English Parliament! King Charles I, also by force took control of an already largely willing press, and forced citizens of England to submit to his chosen religious leaders and belief system.

**SOUND FAMILIAR?**

*Forcibly raising taxes, and using the our tax revenue to pay for the welfare of millions of illegal immigrants (*to create a disloyal, at times violent, and non-American SOCIALIST voting block - *foreign army*).

*Uses the tax revenue from the American people to explode the size and power of CENTRALIZED federal governance OVER the same people they took the taxes from!

A centralized government which constantly attacks our US Constitution (which itself creates our Parliamentary form of government), and seeks to rest inherent Constitutional protections and power from the American people for themselves, by redefining or even eliminating Constitutional Amendments which are fundamental and critical to our liberty, recourse against injustice, wellbeing, and property.

A Federal Government which uses our tax revenue to pay for the forced indoctrination of our children to hate our own country and God, while using the courts to DEMAND we remove God from society and believe in humanism, A-morality, and any religion except Christianity...

A Federal Government which constantly seeks to forcibly eliminate our foundational first 10 Amendments, using tax revenue to create government agencies to police FREE SPEECH, constantly seeking to eliminate our 2nd Amendment right to SELF DEFENSE (specifically for the purpose of keeping government accountable), PRIVACY, and even MOVEMENT!

We could go on!

One of my favorite quotes from Oliver Cromwell:

“Put your trust in God, and keep your powder dry!”

General Cromwell stopped King Charles I twice, and ultimately had to end him, as Charles I remained defiant, and if let go again, would have continued to seek the end of English Parliament.

To this day, the empty seat in British Parliament, is the reserved seat of Oliver Cromwell. The kings (Royal) scepter remains in the center of British Parliament to this day because of Oliver Cromwell.

By the way, as a Puritan, Oliver Cromwell strongly contemplated moving his family and belongings to America, but chose to stay and fight for the freedom he believed would be lost if Parliament and Parliamentary Rule were destroyed by King Charles I.

Latest Doug Jones commercial: “Roy Moore’s sister is a known thespian who frequently masticates in public. Why, even Roy Moore has been seen in the company of many known homo sapiens at all hours of the night. The allegations against my opponent regarding his predilection for dating underage girls are horrific. I tell you the stain of impropriety is all over the man.”

Money governs all elections, absolutely. Just ask majority leader Cantor.

Oh, wait...

While there is no debating how brutal, bloody, and devisive this English civil war was, General Oliver Cromwell decisively and permanently placed British power in the hands of the people through Representative (Parliamentary) government.

To this day Oliver Cromwell is absolutely hated by liberals, leftists, academics, and revisionist historians.

*Hmmm... I WONDER WHY?

History repeats itself for those who do not take heed.

Thank you for sharing your comments.
