Not So Sweet Home Alabama

"We've got a conservative, evangelical Christian,Republican governor," he said, enunciating each word as if to get his head around the details, "trying to get a massive turnout of black voters to pass a tax increase so he can raise taxes on Republican constituents." -- Marty Connors: Alabama Republican Party Chair: August 2003

Bob Riley is in trouble. This is delicious. He's got one thing going for him. He's right.

"We have a philosophical difference of opinion," Riley said of these one-time supporters. "I believe in a fair tax code. They don't. I believe we have to make investments in education that keep us from being tied for dead last. They don't. They have had special treatment at least for all of my adult life. And even after this modest increase, they'll still be paying less than in any of our surrounding sister states."

This can be the year Republicans face the music. Let's hope Arnold listens to Warren.
