Channeling Spiro Agnew? Not exactly, but I'm concerned about the negative nattering in the progressive blogosphere lately.

Not very, [...]
Did Democrats attack Conservative ideology as totally failed after the roaring 90's for the rich and Great Depression 2.0 for the rest of us in 2008?

The speaker at this morning’s Madison County Republican breakfast was Huntsville Times editor Kevin Wendt. Last year about this time he addressed the MCGOP as the newly hired editor, and he’s had a year or so to settle into his job. He recognized then the frustration that many people [...]
Gubernatorial candidate Tim James received 35% of the vote at a standing-room only meeting of the Madison County GOP. Bradley Byrne came in second with 26% and Roy Moore came in third with 15%. Undecided got 10%, Robert Bentley got 7%, Kay Ivey got 4%, Bill Johnson 3%, and James [...]

Well, well, well - Judge Roy Moore, candidate for the GOP nomination for Alabama governor, has gone all Liberal on us - according to al.com, he thinks a variety of religious displays in government buildings is fine.
...Moore, [who] said the key question is not what religion the display represents [...]
Republican candidate Don Spurlin will be at Rosies on South Parkway for a Meet and Greet, starting at 7PM (Tuesday, November 17, 2009). He is running for State Senate District 9 (comprised of much of South Huntsville, Marshall County, and part of Blount County). The GOP Primary [...]
