No wonder Alabama sends Roy Moore, they're not...wait, they ARE sending their best.

[VOX]

I apologize for paraphrasing #45 and also to any native Alabamans here, but...wow, that state is in sad shape. Just how does Roy Moore's Alabama stack up against the other 49 states?

Per U.S. News & World Report (hardly a liberal source), among all 50 states, Alabama ranks:
Health Care - 47
Public health - 50
Education - 47 (32% are college educated)
Crime & Corrections - 42
Infrastructure - 31
Opportunity - 40 ($23,693 is the median income)
Economy - 45
Government - 42
Overall Rank out of 50 - 47

1. It's astonishing ...

That people STILL think that they can shame or guilt the House/Senate thuglicans or most thuglicans in Alabama from sending Mall Rat Moore to the Senate. He's not going to get expelled if he gets that Senate seat, because thuglicans WANT his vote so that they can further destroy this country. Moore's a liar. A Racist. A Rapist. A sexual-assaulter. You see thuglicans don't CARE about that tax bill of DEATH they're rushing to get passed and signed into law by the sexual-assaulter-in-chief which will destroy people's lives and increase the debt by a trillion more dollars.

As my friends say, I don't want to hear one more word about Al Franken. NOT ONE.

5. YES! And no more "moral high ground," either.

I don't care how close to Jesus someone claims to be, they voted in serial CRIMINALS. So no lectures from the right about "godlessness" or "immorality." EVER.

2. This

should be the political strategy outside the state.....

Nancy Pelosi should make a statement. "It's not Alabama's fault theyre going to send a pedophile to the Senate, it's who they are."

6. Damn right. Turn it on its head.

It's not like 'Bama is going to go all Blue anytime soon.

3. Very impressive track record

[VOX]

7. There's more from the "Heart of Dixie": Montgomery was the first Confederate capital...

Before it was moved to Richmond, VA in 1861. It's a state that keeps on giving!

8. No, not Birmingham... Montgomery

[VOX]

12. Thanks. Fixed it. Caught trying to rewrite history!

Thanks for catching it. I hang my head in shame.

[misanthrope]

9. Birmingham wasn't founded until 1871

That would have been quite a trick.

[VOX]

13. Ive lost much face and must ritually disembowel myself.

Not really. The weird thing is, I first thought Birmingham, then thought, no, that doesn’t seem right. So I looked it up, confirmed Montgomery, and proceeded to write “Birmingham.” So much for confirmation!

10. It's also where Martin Luther King Jr led the Protest Marches from Selma to Montgomery in March 1965

[VOX]

14. That effort turned public opinion about civil rights.

The footage of the marchers in Selma, many of them clergy and women, being tear-gassed, beaten and routed by mounted officers, generated outrage among many Americans outside of the South. It was classic passive resistance, and it was quite effective.

4. Two words.......mo brooks......enough said ...

[Iggo]

11. But hey, as far as pedophiles in the Senate, they're gunning for first place!

[rusty quoin]

15. If a pedophile is a step above a Democrat in their minds,

let’s always remind them of that, though I do feel bad for the normal human beings in that state.

It’s a hard road to overcome what has become Alabama and so many other states.

16. You get what you give; in this case absolutely nothing!

17. Terri Sewell

She represents the best of Alabama, politically speaking.

[FL_Jerry]

18. Billboards needed

How about renting billboard space on major routes into Alabama saying "Warning GOP child molesters ok beyond this point" as a public service. I'd contribute to put one right at US231 right at the FL/AL line.
