Political Poster 'Bama Style




Loretta Nall is the Libertarian Candidate for Governor in Alabama. Now typically, Harrogate has about as much use for Libertarians as he does for skunk corpses; but instead of the common Libertarian schtick of defending the sovereignty of gun compounds run by nutcases (read: Waco), or calling for the abolishment of the Department of Education, or crying about taxes in a corporatist materialist nation whose tax rate is incredibly low by any reasonable standard whatever--yea, verily Harrogate sayeth unto his readers, instead of all such Neal Boortz Libertarian inanity, Nall has refreshingly built her campaign around things like beating down the Patriot Act, legalizing marijuana, getting out of Iraq, and not hating Mexicans. How nice. A Libertarian who's not a hypocrite, who actually values civil liberties. She'll go down in flames among them there Alabamans of course, but then here's to trying.

And that poster on her webstie is (These Boobs, not Those Boobs) pretty good from a Rhetorical Standpoint. Compare it to the Corker ads in Harrogate's previous post to see the difference between good-natured campaigning versus ad-hominem smearing.
