There appears to be problems in the Alabama Republican party and while one of the guilty has been removed it's time for the second one to go as well whether or not it's his will to.  Governor Bentley received my vote once and I supported him but given his abysmal performance this time around and, what very much appears as misuse of the office and State funds he should resign.  If he's not willing to then he should be impeached regardless of the party he belongs to.  Siegelman,  our Democratic governor, also whom I supported, ended up in jail for the way he awarded contracts and Bentley is no better and if found to have misused State funds or violated the law then he also should face justice.  A crooked politician is a cooked politician and regardless of party should face justice for their actions.  

As it appears now Bentley is not going to go on his own accord and has no problem bringing more shame to Alabama, politically so it's time for the State Republican party and politicians to get on board and remove him.

Don't forget the liberals

While I can totally understand party affiliation and reasons for it I also believe it is a mistake to totally commit oneself to saying that their own party is beyond reproach and can do no wrong.  Likewise to think that parties and what they stand for does not change.  For instance, on a national level, I fully believe that the Democratic party today has been hijacked by an extreme liberal group that excludes any and all moderates and conservatives in the party, as it can.  I also believe that the Republican party has become much more like the Democratic party (of the 1950's-1960's) was. 

It is for the voters to see the good (and bad) within each party and vote for individuals based upon how that individual conforms to their own beliefs and positions.  There have been good folks on both sides of the isle (so to say) but so often people are so rigid in their voting and affiliation that they abide by and vote by party line and whatever the National Party/convention says whether there is facts to base it on or not. 

For instance there are many who vote today thinking that the Republicans only favor the rich not realizing that there are a great many rich within the ranks of the Democratic party as well and there are a great many Democratic politicians who have made themselves rich at the expense of those that voted for them.   Just look at Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi or Jim Wright.  There are also many Republicans that do the same and many do an injustice by just concentrating on one party or the other and not realizing that the greater need is to look for the good of the Nation and to recognize that we all should honor and protect the Constitution and govern by it.  We vote for the party (at the time) or politicians that represent the positions that we feel most important to us and if we lose then we respect the will of the people and go on till the next time we have a chance to express our views at the polls. 

Maybe I'm just naïve about it all but I like to think there are strengths in both parties but so often I am disappointed when politicians prove me wrong.  The most recent example is the democrats joining together to filibuster an obviously qualified candidate.  There will be and can be arguments all day long about why wasn't Obama's pick considered or other issues but those who make those arguments should realize that your own party set the precedent for what has transpired long ago when they did essentially the exact same thing.  They are thus essentially reaping that which they have sewn in the past so there should be no argument against it.  As for the majority vote to confirm the candidate that was the Constitutional  way it was done for a long time and although the rules were changed at one time they were changed back recently .  Trump did win and thus should get to nominate his choice, which he did, and if qualified, which I believe he was, receive confirmation, which is ultimately what happened. 

As for local Alabama politics, as a resident of the state, I believe the Governor should resign but seeing that he is not going to the republicans should be "stand up" enough to impeach him and not put politics above the good of the state.

Your bubba Clinton was impeached, your queen of the outhouse

stupid to vote American. The demwits embarrassment will be yugh.  

that's three, JT... the republiCON head of EVERY BRANCH of the ALABAMA STATE GOVERNMENT has been removed from office for illegal actions. those great family values extend right up to the front of the voting booth.

being so far right has worked great for alabama.. last in everything important.. education, health, infrastructure..... first in everything republiCONs hate, handouts, free lunches, food stamps, public housing.....

no reason not to vote republiCON.. their policies are making alabama great, why not the whole country.

The Bentley resignation is why Republican voters are better than the democRAT voters.  WE actually hold our leaders accountable for their actions.  WE will not allow a bad seed to grow in our ranks.  WE pull them out like a weed and move on to better things.  That is what sets us apart from the democRATS, WE don't tolerate bad and unethical behaviors.

The Democrats keep running them for office, and voting them in time after time. Ted Kennedy was another one that had zero morals but was the darling of the left.

Huge list of democRATS who should be out of office or in prison.  Tax evasion, sex scandals, refusing to enforce federal laws, bribery, abuse of power to intimidate conservative groups, national security violations, ....the list goes on and on and on. 

Republicans are held to a higher standard because WE are better than democRATS.

Leland Yee. As someone pointed out, barely a whisper.

That’s right, according to a 2010 Daily Beast analysis compiling data about convictions on charges of public corruption, racketeering, extortion, forgery, counterfeiting, fraud and embezzlement, the Volunteer State is America’s single most corrupt. Similarly, a 2012 Harvard study lists Nashville as one of the nation’s most corrupt capitals.
