Why is some religious nut actor endorsing a religious nut politician Judge supposed to encourage me to vote for him? I like some of Judge Moore's ideas but I can't support someone who apparently thinks he is above the law and injects his religious beliefs into a court room.

Got me. Guess they figured someone else less objectionable would have to run against him, and guessed wrong? Or didn't properly vet him (like, vet him at all).

I haven't seen the Democratic party be much of a use for anything as a whole. There may be some within it worth something, but not the party itself. That's probably true for most political parties, but they seem exceptionally useless. Of course, its to be expected from a conservative state. Its actually amazing they stayed in power so long.

Dale Jackson of WVNN is interviewing Harry Lyon right now!

Harry Lyon says Richard W. Bell (sp?), former Chairman of the Shelby County Democratic Executive Committee, was sent to bribe Lyon off the ballot by Sue Bell Cobb, Democrat and former Chief Justice of the Alabama Supreme Court.

Lyon calls Alabama the "State of Hate".

Lyon says that Don Siegelman, Democrat and former Governor and current inmate, is innocent.

Lyon says that the Democratic Party hearing today is a "kangaroo court" and that he expects to be taken off the ballot.

Dale Jackson commented that Lyon sounded just like an Alabama Democrat, then asked Lyon to come back on Monday for another interview.

Lyon may get kicked off the ballot for disagreeing with the national Democratic Party's position on same-sex marriage. However, since the Democrats started trying to remove Lyon from the ballot, Lyon has been active on his Facebook page railing against "faggotry". Lyon also used the "n-word" several times in an interview with Bham radio host Matt Murphy, as well as accused a former director of the Shelby County Democratic Party of trying to bribe him.

And this is the same guy?

Well, Lyon lives in a "state of hate"...

The hearing is today at 1:30PM. Here is the collection of nuttiness that the Democratic Party will use to show cause that Lyon is not fit for office:
