So who cares about Alabama ?

The Top 10 U.S. defense companies all have operations in Alabama so it looks like that answers this question. Alabama is just one of the states in which the military industry has become the foundation of our "war economy".

In fact, most of our taxpayer-funded defense budget goes straight to these companies - hundreds of billions every year.
Quite a racket they've got going wouldn't you say ?

Most of our spending goes to personnel and operations and maintenance. It does not go to defense contractors.

Yes, Alabama depends on defense spending and has major defense contractor business. The cost of labor in Alabama is a big reason, same reason that commercial manufacturers establish factories there. They have always relied on strong Congressional support in the Defense budget.

As long as I an American I will care about every State and territory that makes up our Union.

Doesn't mean I have to respect their choices and / or not call them out when their moral choices lack the key part - morals!

Irrelevent, as long as he votes for the wall and the raise act.
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

You know, this election is likely to go a long way towards proving Alabama stereo types have more than a grain of truth to them.

We will find out this week.

I'm hoping good morals win out but that's not a priority with modern American conservatism so I'm not expecting much.

I hope they surprise me.

So you believe doing away with "presumption of innocence" for political reasons is moral?

No. But credible accusations coupled with his known reputation for being a predator of teenage girls still in High School, banned from the Mall and a "Y", his changing stories - in a court of law he would have a lot of questions to answer.

But you want that vote so whatever, right?
