Did I say one word about Siegelman? Or did I say anything about Riley? Looks like I'm not the only one assuming. If you've lived there for 58 years, you know that neither rampant corruption in state government nor the fiscal problems started with Siegelman, either. As far as recent history goes, Folsom was no prize in those areas.
What you did say was that my comment that Moore's election would be bad for the state meant that I "despise" the state. The implication is clearly that you don't agree. Perhaps you do.
I think Riley's got some decent ideas. As much as it pains me to say it, I think his approach on the tax plan is necessary. While I'm not generally a proponent of tax increases, the regressive nature of taxation in Alabama is one of the root causes of the current crisis. But getting outside money into the state will be necessary, and that won't happen in a state led by the likes of Moore.
I apoligize. I misread your post #52. I should have read post #48 to which you were responding.
I do not wish to have anyone from the legal system as my governor, now or in the future. That includes Roy Moore.
