is it even worth it to listen to the morons that voted against the amendment? i think not

in addition to removing the segregationist language, why couldn't they add the fact that people have a right to publicly funded education? it doesn't take einstein to resolve that issue

Supporters of the amendment said the language is a painful and embarrassing reminder of the South's divisive past, and makes Alabama look bad to companies who might want to do business in the state.

That's a GOOD thing?

"Gov. Bob Riley said Friday he will ask the Legislature in its February session to approve a version of the amendment that would remove only the constitutional language on segregated schools and poll taxes. That is what he originally wanted, but the Legislature decided to expand his recommendation before presenting it to voters in the November 2 election."

"Despite the defeat of Amendment Two, I'm confident the vast majority of Alabamians support removing segregationist language from our constitution," the governor said."

probably the good old govnah trying to put the wraps on the ensuing pr mess

as was stated, the fact that the amendment failed to pass "makes Alabama look bad to companies who might want to do business in the state".

Let's give it up for all those middle-Americans who voted based on "morality."

But the measure also would have removed language that said there is no constitutional right to an education at public expense in Alabama. Opponents said removing it could have led to huge, court-ordered tax hikes for schools.

Hell! At least half of the voters probably couldn't read enough of the amendment to know what they were voting for.

Alabama, let's hear it for the D word... Duh! :roll:

I'm not saying it doesn't make them look bad- It does. Frankly the fact that this kind of language is still on the books at all makes them look bad. But there are two sides to the story.
