Country Singer George Jones on CD-2 Posted by Danny, on July 8th, 2008, at 2:19 pm
After being mostly gone for a week, I have been trying to get up to speed for a post about how and why people are buzzing like angry bees around a hive on the AL-02 Congressional race between Jay Love and Harri Anne Smith. But this radio commercial from country singer George Jones on the AL-02 race was too good to wait on. It’s one for the vault. 115 comments to Country Singer George Jones on CD-2 |
ChangeI wish my friend Hinton Mitchem godspeed and good luck after his retirement from public service. Hinton, on Monday, announced what many had suspected — he will not seek re-election. I remember meeting Hinton for the first time while I was a student at Auburn University. He served the people of his [...] Ten Minutes in the House, Senate Moves On Here is a quick preview of the upcoming week in Montgomery.

George sounds drunker than Hell!
Considering the fact that Harri Anne skipped just about every debate and forum in the primary, it makes sense that No Show Jones is supporting her campaign!
OMG – this might be the funniest thing I’ve heard in a long time! Thanks for the laugh, Danny.
With this new George Jones ad, it sure looks like “The Race Is On” although Ol’ Possum sounds like he drank about a quart of “White Lightnin’” before recording it.
Since Harri Anne Smith ran all those negative ads, I can’t believe “She Thinks I Still Care” about her candidacy. I bet after she fired Swinehart, “He Stopped Loving Her Today.”
But if either Jay or Harri Anne actually get elected to Congress, “Who’s Gonna Fill Their Shoes” in the Legislature?
Sounds like George “broke the head off Elvis, filled Fred up to his pelvis, now yabba dabba doo, the King is gone and so are you . . .”
George is 100 per cent right about Jay Love being a liar . . .or should I say 100 PROOF right!
George is probably on his riding mower right now headed for a bar to clebrate with Ronnie Gilley . . .see Danny, I worked lawnmowers in!
well, we used to have mississippi.
Oh good god. Couldnt George Jones have at least stayed sober for the ad itself. However, Guilley is putting his money where his mouth is. Jay Love crossed the wrong fellow on this one.
George Jones is telling it like it is. Jay Love is not for the people. As for Ronnie Gilley, he is an intelligent person. Too bad you people can’t handle the truth!
Every time Ronnie Gilley opens his mouth, I expect to hear him say, “It’s me! It’s me! It’s Ernest T.!!!”
Wow, what a bunch of class acts. I guess you jacklegs don’t get out much. George has been sober for over a decade.
He has however in recent years, suffered from a stroke, so I guess its open season on ole Possum. Funny, I bet even after a stroke that George is quicker than all of you insensitive morons.
Go get em Possum.
#4 may have the best quote yet. I submit that the “King is Gone” is the greatest country song of all time. Now as for the radio spot, I think it adds absolutely nothing to an already worthless race. As a bystander who doesn’t support either candidate, I don’t see much that distinguishes either of them from the other. They both seem to be stretching the truth on their voting record while accusing the other of doing the same thing they’ve been doing. This all makes my head hurt. To quote Hank, “Now I think I know how George feels.”
This is now the leading candidate for worst political ad of the year — maybe this decade. Oddest thing I’ve heard in a while.
George has been sober and did suffer from a stroke. How dare you people make insinuations towards those you know nothing about. Just things you choose to believe through gossip you wish to hear.
But then again I guess you are Jay Love supporters so what are we to expect.I support Bobby Bright all the way!But encourage people to vote Harri Anne Smith for the Republican Runoffs we do not want or need Jay Love…Period.
Uh, Gunney and Whimlady, I’ve read George Jones’ autobiography (big fan), just checked his Wikipedia page and did a Google search and found no record of him ever having a stroke. Can you offer anything to substantiate that he did – an Internet link, a newspaper story, anything? If not, let the board have some fun and shut up.
George does talk like that now, the last car wreck just about killed him. Since I am in Tennessee I wouldnt know anything about the politics of Alabama but I do know that George has had some personal problems but he never tells a story with a twist, if he says the guy is a slime ball you can take it to the bank…..
Lets all be fine upstanding conservative christians and pass judgement on George Jones……Hey!! nobody knows about our personal problems so it won’t be a big deal….right guys?
George Jones was spot on…
Well I do know that George has been in and out of Baptist Memorial Hospital since his car wreck and the last time I knew of when I was in Nashville he had pneumonia. George is a singer anyway and most singers aren’t as good of a talker. George is not a young pup anymore. So the stroke info I can’t find but do know he has been sober since the car wreck. But please if your gonna have some fun don’t have the fun at someone elses expense…OK? And that is asking nicely I know you can’t hear my tone…
The Eagles are gonna endorse Jay Love since his theme song is “Lyin’ Eyes” . . . .
To all you saying “poor George”: the man put himself in the public arena by making this stupid ad, so if someone wants to criticize or poke fun, quit complaining. I don’t know anything about this Country Crossings thing, but this ad is because George has a financial stake in it with the Gilley guy, Smith is for it, and Love is against it, right? Follow the money.
The Eagles may have let him buy the rights to use their song “Lyin Eyes”…LOL. But I don’t think they are even a “Desperado” enough to endorse or vote for Jay Love.
“But please if your gonna have some fun don’t have the fun at someone elses expense…OK? And that is asking nicely I know you can’t hear my tone.”
Unfortunately, when you record a political campaign commercial, call someone a liar and put it up on the air, you’re going to be the subject of criticism, discussion and, of course, jokes, especially on this board.
Perhaps Possum should have thought of that before he recorded the spot. Heat. . .kitchen. . .get out. . .
Actually Love would have been for it if Ronnie would have answered his calls to endorse him.Ronnie was not for either he was for Schmidtke…Untill Jay Love started the BS.
Sir Mix-A-Lot is also endorsing Harri Anne Smith because he likes big butts and he cannot lie. You other brothers can’t deny.
Suggesting the Love campaign is getting things too hot in the kitchen for George is like calling Jay Love masculine . Or hell just calling Jay honest period. Jay is a girlie man.
Let me just add you Lovers have suggested this race is sewn up and no one should take Gilley seriously. Why then is the Jay Love campaign doing a poll in the district asking what people think about Gilley? Seems the pot on the stove is starting to boil a bit for Smith?
Jay Love’s ads have spoke for themselves on his character and his refusal to see the truth. Ronnie got pulled into this mess because of Jay Love and if you are a Southern Man…or woman you will not sit back and let someone out and out lie about things you know are wrong.Now Jay Love has a phone poll about Ronnie Gilley’s character. We stick up for eachother when we know whats right and Ronnie buddy just happens to be George.George is not ashamed to stick up for his friend that he knows is being dragged through the mud for know apparent reason. Ronnie until now hated politics but has been forced to get in the middle of this crap to save his good name and reputation.
That is the funniest thing I have heard in a long time. I hope he runs it 24/7 it only helps Jay Love.
rednecks with money are scary.
Jack Daniels + Lots of Development money + has been celebrity with financial interest in gambling development that Harri Ann will support= The WORST AD EVER in a political race.
I believe this ad is more effective that most are giving it credit for. As I understand it is playing on Country Music stations only, in a very rural district. Drunk or not, I bet there are a lot of folks who will respond positively to George Jones. I think the message, that Jay is a liar, is strong coming from someone who is not normally involved in politics.
Obviuosly Anonymous you are a Jay Love supporter. Someone that seems to be arguing a lost point with their own self…Kinda like Jay Love…huh.
[...] I have been a bit busy of late with work and family and have not been able to spend all of the time I would like detailing the run-off between Senator Harri Anne Smith and Rep. Jay Love. With a week to go before the run-off, things are getting interesting – such as this radio adby George Jones. (Only in Alabama are you likely to see country music, economic development, gambling and politics intertwine like this.) This story will explain the basis for this ad. This link will give you a pretty good run down of what has been happening. I suspect that the 11th Commandment of Republican Politics is about to be broken repeatedly between now and next Tuesday. I’ll make my prediction on the outcome next Monday. PermaLink | | Trackback/Pingback (0) [...]
the problem i see is this: Gilley feels like he has broken in to the big time and become significant. This is all new, exciting and dangerous for Gilley. New/Exciting: Gilley will not be going away from the public spotlight anytime soon, if HAS wins, then RG will be a big advocate and feel like he helped. If she loses, RG will then jump on over to Bobby to continue smearing JL and hope to remain significant. This is dangerous for RG because it seems as if he’a bit of a hothead (i may be wrong), and i hear he’s not scared to knock a few back – more beers = bad decisions = the downfall of RG’s short but sweet political run.
hmm…I am voting for Harri Anne but that does not change the fact that George Jones sounds hammered. That may not be the case and if he has health problems I apologize, but we call it like we see it. That is the reason we support Smith not Love.
[...] Doc’s Political Parlor: Country Singer George Jones on CD-2 [...]
George is not hammered. Bobby Bright to me is the only way to go and I hope Ronnie does step over to Bobby. I have been letting him know that Bobby is the true voice for Washington, even though I am a Republican. But I promise you this Ronnie Gilley does not have a big head he is busy getting his dream into becoming a reality. Ronnie Gilley could have cared less about politics, but was not going to stand back and watch his name be dragged through the mud…would you ANONYMOUS??? I truthfully doubt.
Ronnie is a true blue guy he has friend in high places and also friends who can barely get by. He is a friend to all until they lie about him, bash him and intentionally try and do him wrong. Jay Love is the one that drug Ronnie into the Limelight of politics and like any true American Ronnie is fighting back.Oh and Ronnie and drinking please if the guy has a beer from time to time it’s only to relieve the pressures he has fallen into buy Jay Loves cut throat campaign.But he does not make drinking a habit.
Jay has actually pulled his negative ad that lies about Guilley. This is obviously having an effect by his own measure.
Give Gilley credit for putting his money where his mouth is. Harri Anne will pull this out if the Wiregrass gets out and votes. History is in our hands or we can sit on our rear ends next Tuesday and let Montgomery run over us AGAIN. I hope and pray that for once the voters will invest 5 minutes in the future of the District by going to vote next Tuesday for Harri Anne. It doesn’t cost a thing but a little effort.
That ad is a classic. I can’t tell you how many friends I sent that to today – thanks for paying for our laughs gilley.
I honestly believe that Bobby Bright will be the best man for this race,he will act like a gentleman I’m sure.Jay and Harriann seems too childish and immature to be in office.Just wait, you will not see Bobby Bright acting like that.If he does he will fool me.
He will also make the best Congressman anyone would ever want.(sorry bout repeating my self)
David Woods, where are you when we need you!? Please consider running for office again! We all stand to benefit immensely!
This ad is a joke. I think it is horrible that someone with financial interests in CC is actually being taken seriously. I hope CC does well, but I think less of Gilley for running this ad. No one outside of Houston and Coffee county know or care what Ronnie Gilley thinks. You would think a businessman would not try to make such accusations about the soon to be Representative of his district.
The big winner in this runoff is clearly Bobby Bright.
i agree 44. appreciate y’all making this one a slam dunk. thanks to this public debacle, bobby may not even have to run ads.
First of all George Jones does not drink and has not for 10 years,He had a stroke and messed his speech up…YOU need to get on your knees and pray For the nasty things you have said about him,I know he will pray for you..He was just telling the truth i wonder if you know what true friends are.They stand up for each other and today Jay Love and Harri Anne Smith agree not to talk bad about each other and I think that’s great now leave Ronnie and George out of it,they are good people if you only got to know them personally you would see where i am coming from….
Can anyone show me anywhere on the Internet that says George Jones has ever had a stroke?!!? I couldn’t find any mention of it. Unless you can prove that guy had a stroke, QUIT SAYING HE HAD A STROKE!!!!!
JTinenterprise…You for one should know what your are saying is a crock. Believe me there are a lot of people that listen to Ronnie , Know Ronnie and Love Ronnie for Ronnie the person. It’s a shame that someone that has actually gone after his dream is being bashed by a bunch of couch potatoes with no initiative to move away from their computer let a lone make something as big as Country Crossing happen. You will never have much good in your life if you sit there and make up stories about those you have no clue whatsoever about to cover your own incompetance. But I will say this Ronnie has aparently made it to Greatness or a bunch of nobodies wouldn’t be sitting on their butts bashing him. Yes Ronnie has officially made it to the “BIG TIME.”
HAS 100%, CC 100%, RG 100%, JLOVE (and the people said…….boooooooooo)
George Jones was led to Christ by Gospel singer Vestal Goodman, prior to her death. Since that time, George has been sober.
As far as the CD 2 race goes, Jay Love seems to have crossed a line here. This could bounce back to Harri Anne Smith.
I just wish Zorro would comment. Zorro has certainly left his mark on Political Parlor.
