Gov. Don Siegelman - rover - Barr

'If you didn't catch Gov. Don Siegelman on The Thom Hartmann Program yesterday, here is the clip.
You could say we've got a tangled web of corruption in this country, knotting together many threads of deceit that stretch into the past and always seem to reach Alabama!'

We can walk and chew gum at the same time. IMO we should certainly talk about kitchen table issues for voters but we should also talk about trump's lies, unfitness for office and how he's imposing taxes on the American people with his misguided tariffs which he doesn't understand that the Chinese aren't paying.

Don't let the orange a-hole off the hook and certainly don't quarrel with each other over slight differences in healthcare plans which then turn into criticisms of Obama, the most popular Dem there is.

The last debate became a circular firing squad as Dems attacked Dems and Obama and the orange a-hole, whose preposterous and ridiculous administration and polices which are screwing up the country, was never mentioned.

some say it should be about 'kitchen table' issues, some say a mixture of the 2, and some likely say something else.

My point is that we can agree or disagree about which.

As to the 'debates,' that's something ELSE.

play a large part in keeping Siegelman behind bars? He was the "Stephen Miller" in the Dubya WH. Had way too much power.
