I hate to slam Artur. But he can’t be elected Governor in Alabama.
Here is a taste of what the Repubs will hammer Artur with in the fall. He says, immediately at the start of the clip, “No religion has a corner on truth.”
The problem is there are a ton of folks in Alabama that sit in the pews and are told every Sunday the Bible is the only truth. Religion is the justification for all their political beliefs. (Abortion, School prayer, etc.)
And here is Artur telling them Christianity has no corner on truth. And yes, before you slam me, I watched the rest of the clip and I understand where Artur is coming from and I understand what he is saying, but I don’t know how he explains that in a 30 second ad.
But I can see the Repubs ad now. A tense, stressed announcer’s voice says, “Artur Davis is against Religion.” Cue quote from above clip. Insert concluding snide remark about what Artur believes or doesn’t believe and why he shouldn’t be Governor.
Too easy. Too perfect for the quick soundbite of what passes for political discourse.
Compare that to Judge Ashley McKathan and his wearing of the Ten Commandments on his Judicial robe. “McKathan told the Associated Press that he believes the Ten Commandments represent the truth “and you can’t divorce the law from the truth.”
“The Ten Commandments can help a judge know the difference between right and wrong,” McKathan said.
Alabama is more likely to buy Judge McKathan’s version instead of Artur’s.
