Questions for the Alabama Democratic Party

It has come to my attention the Alabama Democratic Party has entered into a contractual agreement for a specific and well-defined product that doesn't include anything related to the content or editorial decisions at LiA or anything to appear at LiA.

As to exactly what we are providing, I can't say right now, but you'll almost certainly recognize it when you see it -- perhaps in a few weeks.

My questions are as follows, and, as a member of the Alabama Democratic Party I am respectfully demanding answers.

Who entered into a contract with Left in Alabama on behalf of the Alabama Democratic Party and when?

Why would the Alabama Democratic Party enter into a contract with a blog with a clear understanding that nothing keeps us from kicking around the ADP at will here at LIA if we think they're screwing up.

Why are the specifics a "secret"? Those pesky contracts keep us quiet until it's done.....

Why would the Alabama Democratic Party enter into a contractual agreement with a blog who who bashed and smashed the Alabama Democratic nominee for Governor , and who echos right-wing talking points regarding The Alabama Democratic Conference, The Alabama Education Association , and says it's time for black leaders and elected officials to "step down" in favor of a so-called new generation of black leaders?

Is the Alabama Democratic Party aware Left in Alabama has a history of supporting conservatives over liberal democrats and gave Congressman Artur Davis a free pass for his vote against health care reform?

Is the Alabama Democratic Party aware my front page privileges were revoked by the administrators because I said something they didn't like about Terri Sewell and because I wasn't an Artur Davis for Governor supporter? Although they claim I was never banned from posting Left in Alabama my account was disabled for several months. My account was briefly reinstated last month, then I pi$$ed them off again and was subjected to the Dale Jackson treatment.

It's a special rule for Dale (3.00 / 2)
And Redeye. Folks who tend to get caught up in arguing for the sake of argument and leave a large volume of low value comments in a short time. Dale agreed to this arrangement. He's on the honor system but we remind him of his total.

As of today, I cannot log on to Left in Alabama to post comments. They also have a rating system which allows trusted commenter's to delete the post. As a member of the Alabama Democratic Party, I have a real problem with any party funds being spent with a blog who treats me in this manner.

Stand behind your words, why don't you? It may be cute in junior high to mince words and try to avoid responsibility for what you said, but no one really believes you're blameless even then and it certainly doesn't wash when you're an adult.

You painted all moderates with an extremely broad and unflattering brush then pretend you didn't mean to apply that brush to someone who calls herself almoderate? No one here is that gullible.

You have the pissing analogy backwards. This is how it goes, according to LBJ who said it of J. Edgar Hoover: "I would rather have him inside the tent pissing out than outside the tent pissing in." It's akin to "keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

I agree that a party divided will not stand. So why do you persist in pounding wedges that serve to split off various segments of the party? It can't just be a party of people who exactly agree with Redeye, because there are not enough people like that to form a majority for anything. Well, I guess it could be a party that small, but members would only be able to moan and complain about never having power and getting pissed on all the time because most people would be outside the tent.

A party like that is nothing to aspire to

Is this what the Alabama Democratic Party stands for? If so count me out.
