Research US candidates
To The Daily: In years past, Alabama Republicans have seen their world in either black or white, when the world around them consisted of many shades of gray, plus all the colors of the spectrum. Black or white was narrow-minded enough, but now that many see only red, perhaps black or white was better.
The Nov. 6 general election was a prime example of what a red world looks like. An example that stands out perhaps above all Alabama races was the race for Alabama Chief Justice. In this race, Alabamians had the option of electing an individual who had previously been removed from this very office by the Alabama Court of the Judiciary, or an individual with more than 10 years of experience as a trial judge, plus 16 years as a courtroom lawyer. This candidate took pride in the job and had proven that he relied on the facts of a case to form his decision, not his individual beliefs. Many Alabamians' red vision saw only the candidate who had been previously removed from office with a track record of relying on his personal beliefs rather than the law in making judicial decisions.
When a government and its courts rely on personal belief rather than facts and law to guide them, the community they serve, or in some cases rule, becomes a theocracy. It is clearly time that conservative Alabamians and Americans alike research their candidates, see all the color options and vote for the most qualified among them rather than to only look for red. A red Ford Pinto is not better than a blue Mercedes in anybody's world.

This is the same person that encouraged straight democrat voting the day before the election. Hypocrite. Dishonest hypocrite.
Liberals are all about feeling rather than fact....unless it doesn't fit their agenda.Hypocrite is correct.
Problem is America can't afford the blue Mercedes. Besides it is an import and not American.
Bill, you've identified the problem that keeps Alabama isolated from the rest of the world. William & Well I thank God the majority of Americans feel differently from y'all. Your world of anger will continue to isolate you.
Joe from Falkville, you ignorant wretch. It has nothing to do with anger and the problem Bill Webb identified is the same problem he was quoted in this paper has having the day before the election. He was telling people to vote a straight ticket. For him to now come on here and start talking about qualifications makes him a lying hypocrite. Got it. Good. When I read his comments in the paper before I closed my account at EvaBank where he works. I advise everyone to do so. Would you want an Obama Democrat handling your money?
God bless you, William.
Using God you liberal? Tell me, did you support the liberal agenda of baby killing and homosexuality Joe? Do you think God blessed you for it?
Democrat. For abortion, against the death penalty. Yep. It's THAT stupid!!!
Unfortunately there are MANY people who intentionally voted for Roy Moore believing him to be a "good Christian man". It goes to show how easy it is to fool some folks. Folks who use "liberal" as a dirty word, who resort to name calling when they cannot intelligently defend their position, and who simplify serious issues to support their slanted views. To be fair, however, some of them weren't fooled at all, they simply voted the way they were told from the pulpit.
