Corrupt Republican public officials (judges, etc.) have brought my wife and me to the edge of ruin. It's deeply personal with me, especially on judicial races. But there are no Democrats running, other than the one perennial guy. And here in Shelby County, there are no Democrats on the local ballot. The only vote I could really make would be for Penny Bailey or Bill Barnes for the right to get clobbered by Spencer Bachus (probably, or Beason) in November. Sad state of affairs. I certainly don't want to discourage anyone from voting. My main point is to bring attention to the fact that Democrats have given up on statewide court races. Our rights to equal protection under the law are pretty much over in Alabama. GOP judges have shown they will always favor corporate interests, and they aren't even being challenged. Always appreciate your thoughtful comments and your blog. You are a much-needed voice in our state.<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />LSlegalschnauzerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09619089628125964154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-67173585590378780822012-03-13T08:43:04.375-05:002012-03-13T08:43:04.375-05:00It's bigger than you LS. Not being motivated ...It's bigger than you LS. Not being motivated to vote in the democratic primary may not hurt you, but it hurts poor/black/brown citizens. Think about them (us) living in poverty and despair because some democrats aren't motivated to vote in the democratic primary, or, are crossing over to the other side. <br /><br />We are all in this boat together. If your end of the boat is all neat and clean but my end of the boat is full of holes we are all going down together.<br /><br />We are the change we have been waiting for.<br /><br />RedEyeRedeyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16726342951810334788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3669412675139526125.post-25560755249109793112012-03-13T08:12:05.117-05:002012-03-13T08:12:05.117-05:00If you go and vote today in the Republican primary...If you go and vote today in the Republican primary tou could vote for someone other than Spencer Bachus or Scott Beason for Congress, some other than Twinkle Andress or the other crazy woman for the PSC, and for someother than Charlie Graddick or Roy Moore for Chief Justice.Davidnoreply@blogger.com
