Alabama Politics

As much as I hate politics, it is really something to behold here in Alabama. From the state that brougth you "To Kill A Mockingbird" and the Scottsboro trials, we have people campaigning for Chief Justice here that run on the platform that they will be a bigot, that they will pick and choose which laws to uphold, and base decisions on their personal beliefs. Hey, if someone like Roy Moore can be elected as Chief Justice, then other bigots like Tom Parker sure have a hell of a chance, no matter how ignorant, intolerant, dishonest, and backward his own campaign ads portray him. Montgomery Advertiser Story.

Doesn't anyone remember George Wallace around here. Do the people of Alabama want that kind government around here. Roy Moore was righfully removed from office by putting his personal beliefs ahead of the law of the land, do we want to go thru that again?

The politics around here remind me a bad television show, yet it is real and these people are serious!

Tom Parker has run a very negative campaign, and the other Republican candidate, Drayton Nabors has run a very positive campaign. I do not participate in partisan politics, but on that point alone, Nabors is a much, much, much better choice.

But so far, Sue Bell has my vote, more experience and integrity than the above candidates.
