(Opinion Editorial)
At a Tuesday rally in Birmingham, former Vice President Joe Biden made it clear that the Democratic establishment endorses Alabama Senate candidate Doug Jones. “Doug has demonstrated his courage and his absolute integrity,” said Biden. “Doug and I have been friends for a long, long time. Doug knows Alabama. He knows your heart, and he’ll never let you down.”
Most expected that type of ringing endorsement from Biden, though the former Veep’s bold prediction may have been less anticipated: “When he wins this race, it’ll send ripples down the country,” Biden forecasted.
As already reported today, however, Alabama Republicans and Democrats have made it abundantly clear that they are fed up with the establishment Biden embodies.
Americans want to change, and not just the worn out rhetoric about change used by Obama in 2008. The liberal Democratic agenda demands the redistribution of wealth, the unfettered right to abortion on demand, and a weak national security. That agenda has been rejected by voters in Alabama for years, and never has that rejection been more clear than in last November’s presidential election.
The left’s latest attempt to sell Alabamians on Jones just because moderate voters may disagree with Roy Moore proves that the Democratic establishment still doesn’t get it. The liberal agenda has had its day in the sun, as has the establishment across the political spectrum, and that day is over.
As long as Democrats ignore these facts, they will continue to lose statewide elections in Alabama.
Just a reminder: We are a “government of the people, by the people, for the people.” It’s obvious this is a fact liberals have forgotten.
