I tweeted to Doug Jones that I hoped he was going to use attack ads against Roy Moore [View all]

If ever there was an instance where attack ads are warranted it is this election.

Roy Moore's sins are despicable and the people of Alabama need to know them. Not everyone reads the news. I bet the lead he has if from a lot of people not familiar with his views on homosexual behavior being illegal or the fact that he received all that money from a charity or that he opposes any Muslim from being a member of Congress or Senate.

I don't know who is in charge of Doug Jone's campaign but I really hope they hammer on these facts. If they don't I don't think Jones has a chance.

I don't think the people of Alabama know how horrible Roy Moore is and I think it is up to the Democrats to inform them

Plus there is a chance that Moore won the nomination for the pure reason that Trump campaigned for his opponent.

The Republicans in Washington don't even like the guy.

Roy Moore tried to fit in with Senate Republicans for a day. It didn’t work.

As he made the rounds, some of Moore’s potential future Republican colleagues strained to separate themselves from him. One even attacked him head-on in a speech on the Senate floor.

The visit offered a preview of the headaches Moore’s presence could cause for Senate Republican leaders should he prevail in a Dec. 12 special election to fill the seat once held by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.

“I don’t know where I’m going right now,” Moore told reporters as he exited Tuesday’s lunch and walked down a hallway near the Senate chamber before doubling back toward a bank of elevators.
