(581 posts)not apply to them. The Republicans have installed the worst of the criminals in elected offices both in states and in Federal Government. They are rapist, thieves and felons. But the Republicans continue to elect them. Let this woman rot in prison for life. She is not religious. Just a conservative radical that uses religion to press her agenda.

(15,084 posts)how she feels. Right now, she is a celebrity and a martyr. Huckabee, Cruz, Paul, and others are supporting her. She's in the news. But as she continues to reject her options for getting out of jail, she will become old news and the media will have passed her by. Ultimately, she will just be rotting in jail and it won't be so exciting. I anticipate that jail life after 6 months, or perhaps a year, will be less rewarding and she will quietly resign. We'll see. Good for that judge - he agreed with her opposition to same sex marriage, but he still upheld the law.

Cruz is on a mission from his Dominionist church and father to set up a theology government. Cruz is working to rule over the, Seven Mountains of government. He speaks of his plans in public.
Example of Theology government: The Islamic Republic of Iran. Ruler of Iran:

Cruz is really frightening, as are his followers. The Republican Establishment has lost control and the Crazies are in charge.

It could be that Davis's position of an Apostle, may be moved to that of a Prophet in their evolving Theology of the New Kingdom (of David) on Earth, if she stays in jail until her elected term ends.

(959 posts)in rural Kentucky, Ms. Davis probably makes more than 98 percent of the country. You can live damn good on $78,000 a year where she is from. Her mother had this job for 27 years; her son has already been brought into the office to perpetuate the family hold on the office. This is about power and money and keeping both. Too bad her bigotry and hate has messed up the cushy little deal they had going on in Rowan County. Before this is over, they will have amply time to rue their decisions.
