Also, Nikki Haley.

And no one ran against him. The democrat who did put his name on the ballot was more of a sacrificial lamb from the party. Hopefully this time, things will be different.

And it might not be a Red/Blue thing, but a US thing. Look at Minnesota, generally a blue state: 7 consecutive woman LG’s but never a Governor.

You are absolutely correct. This man puts his on the line every day to provide safe health care.

He explains the pro-choice and Christianity dynamic so well! The Good Samaratin analogy really makes sense. In my high school, the religion teacher (Catholic) wanted to go and protest at an abortion clinic. I remember thinking how scared and humiliated (I can’t think of a different word for what I am trying to…

California’s never had one either.

At one point, he wanted to renovate the Governor’s official beach house with funds set aside for coastal habitat restoration from the Deepwater Horizon settlement.

That’s probably at the top of her To Do list.

Rebekah Mason, Gov. Bentley’s, uh, lady friend, was behind his administration’s scheme to disenfranchise black voters. He was apparently very dependent on her, and sought her opinion on major policy decisions. Proof that women can be assholes too, I guess.

He also waited until 2015 to start allocating disaster relief funds to repair the Official Gubernatorial Beach House.

I still remember the H.B. 56.

Whoops, didn’t see your comment. My thoughts, exactly.

Roy Moore is a cockroach. I really need him to just fucking go away.

Tacky AF.

Men, too fickle and emotional to run important things like government.

If there’s anything I’ve learned from buying and using a black light at my workplace, it’s that I wish I could un-learn a lot of things.

The law firm that handled the closing on my house is on the same floor in one of the RSA towers as his office (why it’s not in the state house, no clue, and I worked in the state house). My dad had to beg me not to go in there.

My thoughts exactly - are these people all children?
