CORRUPT DEMOCRAT SLEDGEHAMMER SLAMS ALABAMA SPECIAL ELECTION

As we write this, various political commentators are (and have been all day) picking apart the election held yesterday in Alabama to fill the Senate seat opened by the departure of Alabama Senator Jeff Sessions as he took the post of United States Attorney General.  Republican Roy Moore lost to his opponent Democrat Doug Jones by a razor thin margin. Moore has not conceded and states that he will request a recount.

The Republican primary for this election was won by Judge Roy Moore.  With a Republican poised to give Republicans 52 seats in the Senate, the Democrat smear machine kicked into overdrive. within weeks it was found that Moore in his 30s apparently had a taste for romancing teenagers who were older than Alabama's legal "age of consent" of 16.  Then and under dubious circumstances a woman was found who claimed she had been "sexually assaulted" by Moore when she was 14 years of age. Although the criminal and civil statutes of limitation have since expired, such an act would have been considered a serious felony under Alabama law.

All hell broke loose.

We will not here recount every last detail of this story as we are sure it has been discussed to death. But it has been our position here at the Alexandria Daily Poop that since there had been no outcry for 40 years until Moore looked poised to take a seat in the Senate, this fact alone in our opinion puts this woman's story in grave doubt. Moore's admission of his penchant for teenagers as a 30 year old however gave just enough credence to the story to add fuel to the fire. The Democrat hatchet men went looking for more stories.  

Some of these stories were quite salacious, but most were false involving for instance an incident in a parking lot which parking lot never existed. One woman however claimed Moore had signed her high school yearbook and had written some semi-sleazy comment there. When Moore denied having done this and when Republicans began demanding an independent handwriting analysis, famous political ambulance chaser and professional public spectacle Gloria Alred inserted herself into the case.

Despite Alred's interference, the woman was forced to admit she had forged Moore's writings beneath his signature. This event in our opinion put the stake in the heart of this smear. But the Democrats found an ally in - of all people - a Republican.

Senator Richard Shelby, concerned about the "child molestor' label that Democrats would hang on every Republican who supported Moore urged Alabamans to write in "a Republican" without naming any one specific one. This quote found its way into ads by Democrat front groups, some purporting to be "concerned Republicans".   When the votes were tallied, the margin of victory closely matched the write-in votes. 

One Senate seat can be of enormous consequence. This election was isolated and this enabled the full force of the Democrat political machine to be concentrated on one state.  Even so, the only reason Roy Moore is not the Senator-Elect today is because the Democrats got the other Republican senator scrambling to avoid a perceived stain on the reputation of the Party. 

We believe that to avoid Senate elections which become public circuses, the 17th Amendment to our Constitution ought to be repealed and Senators rather be elected as prescribed originally: by the State legislatures, who would had this been in effect yesterday been able to recall an errant Senator at will. Smear campaigns would be less effective and the general public would have more incentive to take an interest in their State legislatures. It is damn time that it be made much more difficult for people from out of state to whip the residents of a state into a frenzy in order to get a Senator more to the liking of any one national group into office..

BLOOD IN THE WATER, BULLCRAP IN THE AIR

TODAY THE 19TH DAY OF MARCH 2009, A DAY WHICH WILL LIVE IN INFAMY ; the Congress of the United States of America; after a show trial worthy of Nazi judge Roland Friesler in which various officials were screamed at, insulted, and belittled by various sanctimonious pricks from both houses of Congress, voted to tax the just compensation of a handful of American businessmen right out from under them.

The chief victim of this abuse was a guy who had been appointed to run an American corporation (namely "AIG Inc) for a salary of ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR by these VERY SAME SANCTIMONIOUS TURDS WHO WERE FEEDING HIM THE SHIT.

The subject of the hearing was the fact that AIG, which was about to go bankrupt - or so we are told - was given a Federal "bailout" so that it could PAY ITS CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND NOT HAVE TO GO BANKRUPT; and more specifially that about 75 upper level executives were contracted to the company on the condition that they be paid a bonus IN MOST CASES SIMPLY FOR NOT LEAVING THE COMPANY. Furthermore these bonuses were contracted for BEFORE the alleged crisis that brought about Federal involvement and were in fact part of the CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS that AIG MUST pay if it does NOT go bankrupt. These bonuses totalled about $165 million split variously between about 75 individuals. This amount is a tiny, tiny fraction of the total AIG "bailout" of about 400 BILLION. IT IS LESS THAN ONE HALF OF ONE THOUSANDTH OF THE ENTIRE AIG BAILOUT. But the way the posturing blowhards of the Congress acted one would think these gentlemen were raiding Fort Knox and taking everyone's pensions away, that the Treasury would be impoverished and the Republic were in peril because of these 75 executives collecting what they were LAWFULLY entitled to.

And so the poltroons of this Parliament of whores put on a show trial, and did everything possible to whip the common citizen into a frenzy over a measly 165 Million dollars. Now there is much to be said about the roles of these very politicians in creating this and the rest of the financal mess, and the other Conservative bloggers and talkers will ensure it gets said. Here at the Alexandria Daily Poop, we offer the following observations:

First, if AIG had been left to sink or swim, her management would have done everything possible to save her. A Chapter 11 re-organization would have allowed AIG to shed the rotten parts, shore up the good, -- AND ABROGATE THE BONUS CONTRACTS -- and it would not cost the People a dime.

Second, when the bailout package was passed, there was discussion of a cap on bonuses to be included in the bailout bill. THIS CAP WAS OPPOSED BY THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP. Why do you suppose this was??

THIRD AND MOST IMPORTANT HERE IS WHY: TO ENABLE THE CROSS BETWEEN A KABUKI DANCE AND A NAZI SHOW TRIAL THAT WE JUST WITNESSED. The bonuses were allowed to proceed precisely because these slimeball politicians knew that they would be able to cast themselves as defenders of the common man when they are anything but. If these perfidious dingleberries wanted to stop these bonuses they could have done so at the beginning. But stopping the bonuses was secondary. Putting on a big show starring themselves as the Guardians of Our Treasure was the prime objective ALL ALONG.

And in the end, legislation was passed targeting 75 individuals for the offense of having more money than you. The legislation basically CONFISCATES THEIR LAWFULLY EARNED INCOME. The Congressional slime who brought you this debacle, they and their enabler in the White House, dont think you will notice that by doing this to the 75 AIM executives THEY DE FACTO CLAIM THE POWER TO DO IT TO ANYBODY. Even YOU.

Food for thought, if anybody is still thinking.......
