[…] Thicket is a new and good-looking magazine “that celebrates the good of Alabama: our people, our places, our history, and most importantly, our future.” It’s second issue will be on newstands next week. I mention it not only because I thoroughly enjoyed the first issue with its Bob Riley cover story and much more, but also because this new issue will be publishing the Political Parlor’s list of the 40 Most Influential Non-Elected Alabamians.

“A NEW ELITE GROUP HAS ORGANIZED WITHIN THE GOP”

Tell me why these elite Federal government officials have been allowed to evolve in congress to a number that they are destroying our county. They block impeachments of those who have committed treason and they block bills that would eliminate wrong doings. They interfere when they are on committees and insist on directing large contacts to substandard and even sham government contractors. It is at a point where congress can’t conduct business.

Tell me why top state and federal officials who are members of this elite group have a greater alliance to the body of this group than they do to the constitution of the United States?

“THE WHYS OF ALABAMA GOP ELECTIONS”

Tell me why top Alabama GOP operatives think that they are so deeply rooted in Washington that they are immune to prosecution?

-Many have large government/military contracts and government grants magically been steered to Alabama to make Bob Riley and the GOP look good. Why?

Why hasn’t the Alabama GOP been investigated or prosecuted?

Why does high ranking GOP operatives act so bold?

These are some of the methods that they use in Alabama to support running expensive media campaigns.
- Campaign money for silence from contra drugs passing through Alabama.
- Beginning in 1994, top Alabama GOP operatives assisted by Karl Christian Rove approached big business (tobacco, oil, etc) offering favorable court ruling for large GOP campaign contributions.
- In 1996 the Alabama GOP was a major recipient of campaign money from what came know as the Triad Scandal.
- From 1998 to 2006 millions came from the Abramoff and Scanlon Mississippi Indian Casino scam to defeat Siegelman’s lottery campaign, to elect Bob Riley and to prevent the Alabama Poarch Indians from getting a class 3 gambling license.
- Major contributions from government contractors for steering large contracts to them.
- PAC transfers without no accountability.

Why does Newhouse Publications print half truths about political figures and run front page articles to calm and deceive citizens so that the largest illegal operations in the history of the United States can conduct illegal activities.

Three women and two black men. And 37 white men. But it is, after all, a white man’s world. Politics is no different in that regard. We women should indeed do something about that. And we’re trying. Unfortunately, a lot of times women are harder on each other than they are on men. But 2008 could be a year for change. Time will tell.

Doesn’t Patsy get to whisper in Bob’s ear?
Only 2 women?
We girls should do something about that.
