This is the problem in this state with Democrats…

They refuse to look in house and criticize. If this was a Republican candidate, I have no doubt that this blog would be criticizing him as well and any GOP hacks who took up for him. The AL Democratic Party has worked repeatedly to thwart any real ethics reform in this state and it’s hilarious that some would whine about conservative bloggers picking the low hanging fruit.

Should point out that Womack received a grand total of four votes when he ran for mayor of Tarrant.

Here’s video from Womack’s press conference. Worth watching.

“I made a mistake. I don’t want to be scrutinized for it. After this day I don’t want to hear about this no more.” Good luck with that!

On some level you have to admire the fact that he just flat out intentionally lied to get attention. No shame at all. I like how he used air quotes when he said he didn’t have the “education” that people looked for. He actually thought he could get away with it. He reiterated that he doesn’t want to be “scrutinated.”

Womack is a perfect fit for Birmingham.

Pro E, let’s put it this way – he didn’t claim to be a Republican, did he?

BTW, I’m personally all for consistency in dismissing unethical, corrupt, crazy, etc. members of both major parties. I’m not sure you’re the best authority to be lecturing on that topic, though.

For the record, Antwon Womack is not now, nor has he ever been, associated with the Alabama Young Democrats. The position that he claims to hold in our organization, Director for Youth Affairs, as never existed. All such claims on his part are complete fabrications and insult the great work our members do to increase youth involvement in the political process. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

She has no tar left, it’s been sucked out her and replaced with Botox. What a freaking shrill hag! Fitting that she hails from SF.

Classifying the convention as “nutroots” is obviously an attempt at humor. Not any more fitting than calling the Right Online conference ‘The Wrong Online” conference where the right-wing hero Joe the Plumber expressed that he would beat the living tar out of House Speaker Pelosi.

Should we not be surprised? He is taking a cue from BO’s unabashed lying. All libs must think this is a normal thing to do now…given that people were foolish enough to believe BO. Why wouldn’t they believe Womack or even care that he lies?

Everytime I hear a story like that about Birmingham or when Im in Birmingham doing something. Im always reminded of a story an ex girlfriend of mine used to tell about her grandmother. She said they were checking into a hotel there in Sacramento the night before Schwartzenegger was going to be sworn in as Governor. She said the hotel lobby was crowded with politicians and media celebs like Wolf Blitzer and Geraldo and even some Hollywood celebs. She said the California automobile dealers were also there having their yearly convention and the USC law school dean and his students were checking in when they arrived. She said she was standing in line waiting to check in and all at once she heard her grandmother yell out lord have mercy. She looked around and saw her grandmother running out the front door. She went outside to see what was wrong and her grandmother looked at her and said get me my bible sweetie. She said she looked at her and said grandma what in the world is wrong. She said her grandmother looked at her with the most sincere look and said. Sweetie I was sitting in there and all at once I had this horrible feeling come over me. I felt like I had died and went straight to hell.
