Cal Thomas writes today about Alabama's recent electoral rejection of raising taxes to meet the states needs. All well and good, but he starts his article with this less then benign words.
"Campaigning for president in 1968, '72 and '76, Alabama Democratic Gov. George Wallace said, "Send 'em a message." Wallace believed that a vote for him would send a message to Washington politicians that the people were tired of Washington's dictatorial ways.
On Tuesday, Sept. 9, Alabama voters sent the country a different kind of message than Wallace's, which was mostly based on race and Southern pride. "
Well, George Wallace did run on a platform of promising a return to Segregation. Which makes it interesting that Mr. Thomas would be so comfortable comparing his current praise of Alabama with the glory of George Wallace.
