Not surprising when high ranking politicians take to the road; obviously she isn’t a rock star or movie personality but rather one of the most important figures in government. I wonder if these polis take the safe road hoping people will understand context beneath the rhetoric. No one wants to offend while it is more offensive and insulting to be safe. These are not safe times and how often will the Speaker of the House end up in an Alabama venue. Glad our former Governor was on hand and received the ovation.

Mr. Jim Gundlach, you hit the nail on the head!
Upon receiving the triumphant announcement from ALADEMS that she was coming to dinner, I responded that I would borrow money if necessary to meet for dinner with a REAL Democrat (of course, ALADEMS played dumb). Oh well, hopefully her appearance raised money for the ADP, and maybe one day the Alabama Democratic Party will be what it’s name implies.

Here is a question I would love to see someone ask her:
Madam Speaker! How do you reconcile your oath to uphold the United States Constitution with your decision to take impeachment “off the table”? Is not the excesses of this administration the exact abuse of executive power that the founders of this country had in mind when they gave Congress the power to impeach? Have you not thrown away that part of the Constitution that was designed to prevent just these kinds of abuses by pledging not to use it and in so doing, actually enabled these abuses of power?
