a good southern democrat outshines the brightest rockefeller rino republican any day!
A rockefeller rino here in the south is considered to be way left of FDR and almost left of lenin!
Mayor bright is a Democrat, but he is by no means a liberal, he is more along the lines of a Zell Miller Democrat.
I voted for Mayor Folmar, but have been happy to see that Bobby has been consistently moving more to the right the longer he is faced with the daily running of the city and the pleas of the entitlement class.
He still has his moments, he has raised the sales tax 2 cents, has proposed numurous property tax and ad valorum tax increases etc., and he had is famous national TV moment during the DC Sniper case when he said that "Our hearts go out to the people of New England during this time of fear" LOL.
But he is also leading a revitalization of downtown Montgomery, Is presiding over an unprecedented housing boom and expansion of the city, he has brought AA Baseball to montgomery, and he has reversed Mayor Folmars archaic edict that no "Drug using musicians" would ever be allowed to hold a concert in Montgomery
The gun statement pleasantly surprised me -- but what surprised me more is that there has not been any howls of protest out of the usual suspects (Joe Reed, Alvin Holmes, etc etc). Had MAyor Folmar made this comment the Liberal Rag Montgomery advertiser and the race Baiters mentioned above would have been howling to the high heavens.
