The weekend before the storm! (#3234)

     Suffice it to say, this weekend is the last one we have before we find out if the alleged pedophile in Alabama is elected to our United States Senate. Yes, the question remains as his polling numbers try to suggest that he may well be. I see this as a moment in time where the right and good of our nation will overcome the ignorance and bias of party politics. It is my hope that the better man will be elected to serve us both in the state of Alabama and the United States on whole regardless of party. That the better man is a democrat who wants to improve the lives of Alabamians is something else that must be factored in as well. The republican has no such agenda and in fact is willing to deny rights to Alabamians as well as to the rest of the United States through his votes in the senate if he is elected.
     It would seem rational and logical for the democrat to win this election just based upon the policies and agendas for leading yet we don't have that clear cut paradigm at play here in a deep red state that has for decades followed the republican mantra without much question. But a convergence of realities have struck home with the electorate on the idealism that was supposed to be a republican staple based upon their previously held rhetoric. The family values identity cannot now be attached to the republican party any longer given the nature of their current candidate and his appetite for lechery. As well as his addiction for young girls is the fact of his social program ending philosophy. How can republicans say they are for the working middle poor class when all their policies are aimed at destroying programs enacted to help the working middle poor class?
     So this weekend is the final one before next Tuesday when the test of ages for Alabamians comes to fore. Will they say enough with the entitlement of advantage and privilege the republicans demand for themselves and the abhorrent behaviour they are willing to accept or will Alabamians do as they have done since the before my time and just accept their destiny as tied to whatever republicans say. I find it hard to think that a morally attuned and educated electorate in Alabama would allow itself to be forced to accept the dregs of what is antithetical to their religious and enlightened upbringing and vote for a man who has no interest in them beyond their vote. This calm weekend before that judgement on Tuesday is a good time to reflect Alabama on just what your and our future holds.
