on the issue of Josh Segall...

let me start off with this....
I am sure Josh Segall is a wonderful human being and has many talents.
Here is where I part ways with Mr. Segall and where I will from this point forward focus my blogging on the race.
There is an often overlooked and sometimes neglected aspect of voting in Representative democracy. You vote for two things ...
1. A party and leadership
2. the person who will represent you and your concerns within the boundaries of the leadership that is elected.
A vote for Josh Segall is literally a vote for Nancy Pelosi. He will vote her as speaker of the house. This may or may not concern you... If it does you have to seriously consider this before you vote. You also have to consider that when Mr. Segall says he is for drilling those words are empty unless he votes someone besides Nancy Pelosi as speaker. She will not allow a vote on drilling. If you think Nancy Pelosi is a good leader and speaker and is concerned with Alabama then you should vote between Mike and Josh, but if you think Pelosi is too powerful and does not concern herself with Alabama and our values it would make very little sense to vote for Mr. Segall.
I will spend less time covering Josh for two reasons...
1. I am not as against him personally as I may have given the impression... I am against his negative campaign (essentially implying that Rogers takes bribes on his website designed to attack Rogers) and I am against the leadership he would vote for...
2. Defeating Segall is secondary to defeating Obama and Kanjorski...

So at any rate I hope folks will come back and enjoy this site...

Secondly

Tom Cole visit highlights important role Alabama will play in this years congressional elections..

The Democrats are virtually a lock to keep control of both houses this fall, but Alabama represents an area where Republicans can gain a seat as well as maintain two other seats that will be hotly contested. It is important that Alabama rise up and say no to moral relativism of Nancy "abortion on demand" Pelosi and the rest of the Democrat leadership.
Nancy represents the progressive, liberal, relativist wing of the Democrat party and it is vitally important that we as Alabamians lead and not follow. We do not want to follow down the San Fransisco path of relativism and gun control. Nancy Pelosi will not even allow moderate Democrats to vote on a Energy bill that would include drilling for more oil. We as Alabamians realize oil will not go on forever, but we also realize that we need immediate solutions.
While Pelosi spends most of her time playing gotcha with President Bush Americans suffer at the pump. Pelosi has seen gas prices rise 2 dollars since she took the gavel as speaker of the House and she has not done anything. She has supported Gay Marriage in California that even the most liberal state in the Union rejected.
Alabamians must say yes to a new Republican party that practices what it preaches and gets back to its basics. A strong family values, gun rights, and fiscal restraint. This fall I encourage voters across our great state to vote for the Republican in your congressional district. Strong family men who will not have to answer to liberal, progressive, relativist bloggers, but will answer to you and your families concerns.
