I hate Democrats with a passion, but Alabama Republicans have gotten far too comfortable knowing the R by their name is good enough for most voters. Primaries are the best tool to get rid of RINOs and public “employees” of companies and interest groups. The country wasn’t set up to be run by career politicians, it was designed to have successful business owners and other leaders temporarily stepping away from their jobs and giving back to the nation. Turberville may or may not be a good governor, AJ McCarron the same as Lt Governor and Finebaum as a senator, but at least theoretically they’re better choices than career politicians.
maybe if we weren’t all busy working 8-5 every day and could all march on Washington for a week a few million voices might accomplish something. But besides that which I don’t see happening what do we do?
