"The reddest electorate in red-state Alabama arguably resides in Baldwin County, home to some of the state’s most conservative voters.

How red? Start with the fact that not a single Democrat qualified to run for any elected office in Baldwin County this year. If that doesn’t speak volumes, consider a recent exchange from a candidate forum in Fairhope.
<snip>
Congressional candidates Pete Riehm and Dean Young, are challenging Rep. Jo Bonner in the March 13 Republican Party primary. Riehm and Young were asked if they would commit to introducing articles of impeachment against President Barack Obama. Both gave a resounding “yes,” drawing vigorous approval from the crowd.
“Pure demagoguery,” said conservative columnist Quin Hillyer, who served as moderator for the event, when I later asked him for his reaction. "

Baldwin County.
That's where I live.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry.

1. And I thought I lived in a lousy county

You have my sympathies, Trof.

2. Fairhope is beautiful

and I know there are some cool people there. Surprised there isn't at least one Democratic candidate.

3. Well, the good news assumption is ...

... that Pres. Obama would have to be reelected in order for either of these yahoos to be in the next Congress to introduce articles of impeachment.

This seems to be a developing theme from the radical Repuglicans (Norquist last week) that folks ought to note: these extremists are committed to overturning the results of the next presidential election if it doesn't turn out they way they want.

Is this what the Repuglican Party now stands for?

4. Eligible Law needs to be changed

Any Citizen should be qualified even if only one parent is a US citizen. The old NBC rule should be ruled outdated.

6. I think the politicians would impeach Obama

even if both his parents had been born white and born in Arkansas.

For whatever reason, the people who impeached Bill Clinton and the ones who want to impeach Obama want a feudal type society. They want a chief of the clan in power and all the people around the chief's castle in that chief's power.

14. No doubt

5. My parents moved to Bay Minette (in Baldwin county)

from Linden (in Marengo County) back in 1941. I was 6 months old, and my parents brought my nanny with us when we moved.

At that time, Linden was totally segregated and the descendants of the slaves who lived there did not have an easy life. I remember my mother saying that white people there used to debate whether or not black people had souls.

But my nanny told my mother that she had to move back to Linden because "White people in Baldwin county did not know how to treat black people." She said she was treated much worse in Baldwin county than in Marengo County, which had a Ku Klux Klan mentality.

7. Proving they are morons

Impeachment to them is a solution for differing political views.

8. Sorry, brother

You can move up to the blue island of Birmingham - well, part of Birmingham.

I get so frustrated with the voters of this state. They just don't get it.

9. They just don't get it.

hi from the ham.

10. Progressive Hamian's unite!

Hey, at least we have Patricia Todd down in Montgomery given all the conservatives hell!

11. Sounds like Reese Whitherspoon said it best:

"You need a passport to come down here."

We have problems with racism here in IN. Back in the '20's, it was dominated by KKK types. I think some parts still are. But we don't have it as bad as that. I don't know how you stand it, trof.

12. Impeaching Obama will be the new priority for the GOP for the next 4 years.

You know it's coming.

They'll probably try to kick out Biden, Agnew style, too.

13. It is so embarrassing to live in this state. n/t

15. ya right...

here we go again with this bull. I'm sure they'll ask for his Birth Certificate again.
