They all get wrapped up in specific issues to garner their votes, but nothing ever changes.....that's the problem. No need to dazzle us with brilliance, we voters settle for being baffled with BS. One definition of insanity is to continue to do the same thing over and over and still expect a change. Just doesn't and won't happen. Oh well.....expecting nothing and you won't be disappointed!
--race--and --change--were buzzwords in the 08 presidental election.

Be carefull what you wish for as things could get worse.

We have a young black guy in the White House and that is not working so well either. And Artur Davis is leaving the state because he lost the primary election. Does that impress anyone? To me it's a tantrum kind of attitude. Sorry...I do not like the choices we have, but need to vote or else we can't complain.

Hey, I am white and voted for Artur Davis in the primary. However, don't most losing politicians go to work as a lobbyist? Not any different than alot of losing white politicians. Wonder what Raby or Brooks will do if they lose? Will probably go to work being a lobbyist.

Steve Raby is already a lobbyist. Mo Brooks has his law practice and part-time County Commission gig.

I'm a member of a group that pays a lobbyist - Free the Hops couldn't have changed Alabama's beer laws without professional help.
