Who Is Kay Ivey?

Who is Kay Ivey? Here's is my list of things that I have observed about Kay Ivey, just in case you are doing your own search and you came across this blog post while doing your own investigation.

Kay Ivey is . . .

Liking the color green ... wearing alot of red ... a sharp dresser...hosting a great campaign website ... marketing well for a candidate ...funny ... from the south ... using humor with charm ... using her own "Kayisms".

Now let's take a break and watch video of Kay Ivey...


Kay Ivey is . . .

Now running for Lt. Governor in Alabama against Senator Hank Erwin who is not happy about that ... no longer running against the seven candidates for governor... liking the second amendment and sports a nice red hat ... techno savvy with twitter and facebook ... SO, what is there not to like about Kay Ivey? Do your own research. The website address is: kayivey.org

I find that she is a very interesting character with lots of knowledge, plenty of background and full of surprises. If you ask whether or not I would vote for her, I won't tell you but I really think if this Lt. Governor thing doesn't work out for her, maybe she should get her marketing people to come up with her a new marketing campaign for the 'Kay Brigade'. She could have a cleaning service complete with her own designer products. It should turn out to be a great adventure!

Alabama Tim James 2010 Gov. Candidate Makes International News

It seems that every time I turn on the television or look at the news on the internet, I see someone talking about the Tim James advertisement that has exploded on the scene. News media such as Drudge Report, World Net Daily , RealClearPolitics and others have captured this little tidbit of upheaval in the 2010 Alabama gubernatorial race.

FoxNews commentary, Juan Williams interviewed Tim James to inquire about his recent ad.

Tim James, business man and 2010 gubernatorial candidate for Alabama has silenced his opponents in the race and run-up to the primaries June 1. According to his campaign, he created several videos in February and has just recently posted the 'language video' ad on television. The ad has become controversial according to the current national administration and the tide of media siding with anti-conservative/unconstitutional sentiment already in the U.S. Many groups have made it known that a globalist, highly tolerant atmosphere to all people is the norm of the day, but is it? These globally minded groups are doing just the opposite with smothering the markers put in place by our founders for freedom and liberty. Instead of nurturing these, they only hurt to suppress and eliminate them.

Watch the video below:


Some may say that the Tim James ad has gone too far in light of the recent passing of the illegal immigration law in Arizona but like the Arizona law, Tim James is just stating the obvious common sense kind of thinking that is lacking today. They both reflect the failure of the federal government to act to protect the people and allow individual state governments to make decisions as sovereign governing bodies that they should be as outlined in the U.S. Constitution.

Have we gotten that far from 1773 that we cannot find our way back? I hope not. If we would just enforce the laws currently on the books now, we wouldn't need such laws and controversy. We've gotten ourselves in this mess by being silent for many years. Can we right the wrongs before it's too late?

Rep. John Boehner speech

Great speech but do you really think the GOP get it? We've begged them to pass great bills for years and years but they took a deaf ear and ignored us. Let me tell you just a couple of bills that would have kept us from this horrible demise we see in this false healthcare bill. The FairTax and Audit the Fed Bills. I'm not going to tire you with the details now go do your own research. Both bills have been around for years.

Anyway, people I talk to say these politicians are just that politicians, two-sides of the same coin and that the GOPers are simply preening their feathers waiting to get their turn at the power regardless how they got there.
What do you think?

Watch the GOP Minority Leader Rep. John Boehner video below of his speech just after passage of the draconian healthcare takeover. I believe his shaming to his colleagues is a little too late. Nice try but it is an applaudible performance. I'm just not convinced they get it yet.

Why Should I Vote For Former Democrat Bradley Byrne As Governor?

Let's read from his website,

"Most recently, Bradley was appointed by the Alabama State Board of Education in May 2007 as Chancellor of the Alabama Department of Postsecondary Education, to serve as the chief executive officer of Alabama’s two-year college system. The system was plagued with well-publicized problems. An entrenched system of corruption needed great reforms to return to the core mission of educating students and preparing them for the workforce. Bradley’s reform efforts were successful. Working with a dedicated team, Bradley righted the two-year college system, and the ongoing effort to serve students and the people of Alabama has been refocused to its proper goals."

Okay lots of fluff there but my thought is this, it says he was "appointed" which translates to being picked by his peers. Well, that's okay but WE THE PEOPLE didn't find him worthy to elect him into office, his peers picked him. Granted he had to have earned it but it's a different economy now. In the 2010 primaries, we have our opportunity to get it right.

The next thing is that I've heard conservative Republican minded parents of elementary school children say that they were going to vote for former Democrat Bradley Byrne because he has stood-up for education and against Paul Hubbert the Executive Secretary of the AEA. Again, being picked as Chancellor of the two-year colleges, has NOTHING to do with elementary schools. The pickers were from the LARGEST UNION in Alabama, the Alabama State Board of Education. Besides, on al.com it was reported, "He[Byrne] fought the organization over a ban on legislators working at two-year colleges and other education jobs." It doesn't sound like this union boss was picking a fight, there was no need too. Frankly, former Democrat Byrne saw an opportunity to push himself in the limelight of Alabamians and created a crisis.

These parents that I spoke too, have heard that something good has been said about education and that the good thing will leach over into their own child's elementary education. These parents are uninformed. They should dig deeper and do their research not just listening but reading! Forget the corruption that he wiped out some tidbit of corruption on a couple of legislators from colleges during his time as Chancellor. Is your child's education really improved as a result of his time in this office? If you live in or near a large city in Alabama, you may not see much change but if you live in a more rural part of Alabama, you know that there is much inequality to a district that has few tax dollars and fewer voters. The two never add up the same.

Here's a video that may best describe the former Democrat Bradley Byrne campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrgfOQy0BL8


I would entertain the thought and it's a long shot that former Democrat Bradley Byrne was primed for this 2010 election way back when. It's a long shot but wouldn't it be a funny coincidence if former Democrat Bradley Byrne changed his party affiliation to run for governor of Alabama? Alabama is a red state and politicians know that. Even more of a coincidence would be for Senator Richard Shelby to retire in 2011/12 and former Democrat Bradley Byrne as Governor appoint Bob Riley as Senator. Nothing is impossible. Stranger things have happened before.

I remember another candidate in 2006 that reminds me of the former Democrat Bradley Byrne and his campaign.
