icanthearyou 4,468 Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 Makes perfect sense,,, when you intentions are to destroy public education or, at the very least, subsidize private education. Probably both. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186500-alabama%E2%80%94-life-in-a-real-life-onion/#findComment-3721291 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DKW 86 8,050 Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 (edited) And Gov MeMaw is likely one of the more sane pols in the state. This is what you get when the ADP is too busy trying to elect Pro-Abortion candidates that have ZERO chance of winning anything in Pro-Life Alabama. They don't have candidates running for most spots because they all know if they have to take the ADP Money, they must be Pro-Abortion AND that effectively ends their chance at winning anything so they don't even bother.

Well the ADP doesn't "HAVE" any money so that's not really much of an issue. Alabama is mostly ignored by the National Democratic Party and donors because they know our state is hopeless and have more important places to focus on. And the recent Democratic governor candidate Yolanda Flowers was very pro religion, and although she didn't believe abortion should be outlawed, she believed in counseling and trying to encourage all mothers to carry their kids to term and consider adoption. She was endorsed by some pro-life groups. None of that really matters much. You could take a pro-life Republican's, run them as the Democratic candidate in most Alabama districts and they wouldn't perform any better than the Democrat usually does. Alabama has straight ticket voting. Most people just check one box that says "vote for all Republicans" and then they turn their ballot in. They don't really know or care what the individual candidates believe or say. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186500-alabama%E2%80%94-life-in-a-real-life-onion/#findComment-3721686 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the government can claim they are addressing a priority and later prioritize a lesser concern for the public, that’s bad government. If priorities change, be transparent and address it. There’s already general budget issues that are addressed more broadly. 1 Link to comment https://www.aufamily.com/topic/186500-alabama%E2%80%94-life-in-a-real-life-onion/#findComment-3722340 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't combining the budgets lower the education fund to buy "water parks and prisons" as another poster had commented?

Your claim I asked about was 45 states. I don’t see those referenced in your article linked to. Did I overlook it? If so, can you excerpt for me or are you backing of that claim?
