Other than Mitch smiling, I want to say a few things. I know I personally convinced at least 6 people to vote for Jones instead of sitting at home or writing in. I'm proud of that. I'm going to keep giving it to the GOP go and hard until they start running decent candidates. No Palin. No Trump. No Moore. Run someone with real intellect and decent morals. No more hypocrites. I'm tired of all the BS.
It is very tiring for a Conservative to have to vote for Sparks, write in 2016 POTUS, and vote for Jones. I took a lot of crap when I refused to vote for a ticket that had Sarah Palin on it. I refused to back Bentley for a multitude of reasons. Same for Trump. Same for Moore.
Please give us some good candidates. Please. Crying out for a real Conservative that also espouses Christian values of compassion, help for the poor, elderly, infirm, and out children. Someone that actually follows what Jesus laid out for us in the New Testament.
Palin, Bentley, Trump, and Moore. I think I was on the right side of history for all of those. It wasn't hard. Reject crappy candidates. Don't compromise for immoral or unqualified candidates. Reject racists and bigots. We don't NEED those kinds of voters. I'm all for bipartisanship. I'm all for POLITICAL compromise on issues that aren't core tenants of my beliefs or morals.
I close with this: we all love to blame politicians. They are a mirror reflection of society. What does that say about us? We wouldn't have these terrible candidates if we were better. We all need to do better. We all need to realize there will never be a perfect candidate without flaws. But it doesn't mean you can put lipstick on a pig. It's still a pig (I just had to use that quip).
Goodnight Alabama. You did the right thing. Now let's get a good moral Conservative that truly follows Christ and kick Jones out unless he does a 180 on abortion and other issues. I'll give him the same chance I gave Trump. A very short leash. Hope he does better. Almost impossible that he wouldn't, but hey it's 2017. Anything can happen.
