(Roy) Moore: Bush visit an attempt to help Riley win reelection

The Associated Press

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — Former Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore criticized Wednesday's visit to Alabama by President Bush as a political move to help Gov. Bob Riley get re-elected.

Riley greeted the president when he arrived in Montgomery Wednesday. The governor was on the stage with Bush at Tuskegee University when the president outlined a plan to prepare U.S. workers to compete for high-tech jobs.

Moore is challenging Riley in the June 6 Republican Primary for governor and has been a critic of the Republican president's policies.

"This visit is political payback in exchange for his complete cooperation with George W. Bush and shows his great concern for the upcoming primary election on June 6th," Moore said in a statement. Moore said Riley has "blindly supported" Bush's policies including "the flood of illegal aliens in Alabama and the Dubai ports deal which would have endangered our security."

2. Here's a statement from Moore on his website
http://www.judgeroymoore.net/

While other Republicans have, on occasion, stood against the President, Bob Riley has blindly supported all of his policies to include: the NAFTA trade deal, the flood of illegal aliens in Alabama, and the Dubai ports deal which would have endangered our security. As a member of Congress, he was the deciding vote that helped "fast track" NAFTA which has devastated the textile industry in this state resulting in the loss of thousands of jobs. This visit is political payback in exchange for his complete cooperation with George W. Bush and shows his great concern for the upcoming primary election on June 6th. Both the State Republican leadership and now the President himself have wrongfully attempted to interfere in this Republican primary and it won't work.

Moore! I don't know much about Ala. politics, but, living in Ga. I sure did hear a lot about Moore! He sounds just like a Shrub choice!

7. Poor Roy
If only he had a GOD to PRAY to about this, a JUST GOD who would do something about all these political moves made by a CHRISTIAN like Bush who was INSTALLED BY GOD.. wait a minute, how many fucking GODS ARE THERE IN THE SOUTH? Or Washington for that matter?

Someone is talking to the wrong god and of course it can't be Moore..

My, my, my.. what a tangled web.. maybe someone should have written something about keeping the church and the state separate in one of them old wrinkly documents that ain't the bible..

FUCK YOU ROY MOORE. But If I WAS in the SOUTH I would throw my full support to Roy Moore, it would be wonderful to see that asshole Riley have to spend millions fighting an insane legal Jesus Freak..

In case any of you didn't know this, RILEY was the TEMPLATE for the Right wing to TEST their ability to steal modern elections. I know because my wife interviewed the former Dem gov who went to bed thinking he'd won the state, only to find out that Riley and pals had STOLEN the election by moving thousands of votes from one column to another on the computer, AFTER they had kicked out all the media, poll workers, etc from the County Courthouse in Baldwin County in the dead of night. They blamed the change on a lightning strike.

I had personal dealings with the legalities of the state of Alabama and was their "guest" in one of their fine "hotels" on the whim of a right wing judge who was installed by the CHRISTIAN COALITION. She apparently thought it was better for my son to sit around his alcoholic Mother smoking weed all day and night, than to be taken to a non violent, supportive home in a sane state - so of course when I tried to get my son free from a woman (my ex) who had a two inch stack of arrest documents, assaults, child abandonment charges, three drunk driving arrests, two arrests for BITING the same livein boyfriend TWICE in the same year, well, of course the only answer was to JAIL THE FATHER, who lived 2500 miles away from these insaniacs.. my criminal history was littered with a single arrest for DUI from college more than 20 years previous, and I was completely paid up in Child Support, and had 6 lawyers for my defense, some travelling from as far away as Beverly Hills, California to assist..

And that was after taking the case all the way up to the AL Supreme Court..

I just LOVE Alabama.

THe best part of my stay was that Hurricaine IVAN scored a DIRECT HIT on their county jail (their jails have been compared to South African Prisons), the very DAY I finally got released from that nightmarish scenario. I vowed to send LOCUSTS the next time that bitch threw me in the can on a WHIM..

Thanks to that loving, childless, ignorant, foolish system of law there my son is now a total dud. Lost cause. All the kids down there know that the legal system will let parents LITERALLY KILL THEM, as one father held his son down with a garden hose in his mouth until he drowned as the stepmother stood watching, the father did minimal time for this MURDER.

Sorry for any DU Alabama folks who may be quite nice people, but if GOD decided to give me a giant chainsaw and allow me to slice off any part of the United States and send it floating off into the sea, you can Bet that I'd "neuter" that portion near Florida that hangs to the left of it's flaccid friend, while throwing them all boat anchors and sheets of lead in the hopes that it would sink.

once again FUCK ROY MOORE, But VOTE FOR ROY MOORE!
