That's what gets votes in this state nowadays...
I have facepalmed over our politics more in this election than any in recent memory.
Go out and VOTE AGAINST THESE MORONS so that that tactic doesn't prove to work in Alabama.

Just goes to show you...all these candidates have done their homework, and they're polling and research tells them that in Alabama, appealing the the ignorant redneck is the way to get elected.

Watch it, racist. :taunt:

I am not sure what is so bad about calling corrupt politicians "thugs" and people who take illegal campaign donations "dummies". To say Alabama's politicians are of the most corrupt is an understatement. Have been for years. This guy is just stating the obvious. If you don't think that is true, then you don't much about our outdated state constitution or our state's history.

For me, I don't think it's the message nearly so much as it is the delivery. If a guy sits down in front of the camera and talks about corruption in politics, I have no problem with it. I think it starts right at the top in this State. My problem is the over-the-top effort to make his pitch to all them good ole boy, gun totin' conservatives. How bout that succession of clips where he slings around his 30/30 right in the face of the camera. Wooooo booyyy, I's gonna' clean me up some KO-RUP-SHUN heyah in Aleebammee.

That political ad gave me a headache.

I think Louisiana may have a good claim on being the most corrupt.

^Gets it.
Our only saving grace: At least that guy is running for commissioner of agriculture and not Governor or something.

"Didn't we pay abouit $.03 an acre for Louisiana ? We could probably triple our money if we sold it back"

For fuck's sake. I'm giving up on my one man mission to change the way people view the average Alabama citizen. :sad:

I said "of the most corrupt". I know Louisiana is #1. When your #2 rather than #1, it really doesn't matter too much.
Don't worry. You get it too.
Because you deemed it so I'm sure.

I'm just sayin. If you watch that commercial, and don't find any humor in it whatsoever, you're part of the problem.
Sorry if that sounds "elitist" and smug to you. Everyone else in this thread completely agrees and is embarrassed for the state of Alabama because of that ad.

Speaking of embarrassing the State, I just can't let a discussion like this pass without bringing an old favorite back.

Unfortunately "average" is a relative term, and has little application ins some instances. If you put one foot in a bucket of boiling water, and the other in a bucket of ice water, on average you wouldn't be comfortable.
More unfortunate is that if you've ever been to Montgomery, and seen what runs this state, then you've seen that it's run by the rural folk. Not all of which are stupid, in fact most are not stupid, but many of which have a simple way of viewing things, and some, lets say, ummm ignorance. And they are often swayed by calling someone a trial lawyer, or by someone claiming to be using "common sense". Clearly, that's who these adds are aimed at. Unfortunatly, you don't get elected in Alabama by winning the vote of the folks in places like Mtn. Brook, Vestavia, Hoover, etc. (Sorry I don't know the names of similar areas in other cities in AL.) The rural folk control the vote in AL.

I'm not picking on you, but Alabama is a Southern state. It's a little humorous, but I think some of you guys are overreacting to it. Just imagine for a moment if your state was represented by this guy... What housing bubble?

Of course, he later became the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee in 2007, and that housing bubble burst! It reminds me of...

No offense taken Chad. I was just saying that I didn't find the actual content of the video to be that bad. Presentation skills maybe lack but the content was not untrue. He is right about the thugs in Montgomery.
As GarMan said, it seems like a preemptive overreaction for fear of being "embarrassed" when in reality, there are FAR worse representatives from other states. Of course, Maher and Stewart won't highlight those and we know why. It is what it is.

I have to say, the commercial is funny to me. It almost strikes me as absurdly redneck, to the point that it's designed to take a poke at the James type commercials. I may be way off, and this cat may be just an over the top idiot...but it is pretty funny...and I know it makes us look bad outside the state.
