An out-of-touch Bob and Patsy talk down to people of Alabama
Patsy Riley shushes the crowd then proceeds to talk down to Alabama voters, comparing bingo halls to meth labs and houses of prostitution. What an outrage! Money doesn’t flow so easily to the hard-working men and women of Alabama as it seems to for the Riley family.
Out of touch in nature, angry and in unprecedented fashion, First Lady Patsy Riley tells the crowd to “get a legal job!” I don’t know if she has ever had a job or not. But it is clear that she and Governor Riley hold the people they were elected to serve in contempt.
The arrogance and condescension they both show in this video is outrageous! Governor Riley says “gambling destroys jobs”? This coming from the same man who himself has destroyed over 3,000 jobs with his warrantless raids! You have to see the video to believe it. He talks about “people thinking they have a birthright to a monopoly”! Again, Riley fails to point out the monopoly he is protecting and desperately hopes to permanently create for the Indian Casinos in Alabama.
While shouting at the people whom they serve, the Riley’s are obviously desperate! Maybe they are seeing their Mississippi connections unravel and are desperate to show their Mississippi Indian Casino buddies a return for the millions given in campaign cash. The monopoly over electronic bingo in Alabama, which was crafted by Governor Riley’s friends–former press secretary and convicted felons–Michael Scanlon and Jack Abramoff . Now in prison for the corruption they committed on behalf of the Mississippi Indian Casinos, one has to wonder if they are in their cells snickering, “Gimme five, Bob”!
But don’t take my word for it—you need to see the videos for yourself on RickeyStockesNews.com.
At what point in time will politicians quit pandering to the Religious Right and invoking the name of GOD in order to keep people from doing what they don’t like. We live in a free society, if you are so against gambling, THEN DON’T GAMBLE!
Do they not realize that there is a lot of people involved that work at all of these places i.e; landscaping, restaurants etc,etc. They are making Alabamians look like fools. I think they both should be treated for dementia. There is so much that they could emphasize on. They need to go after crime especially the youthful offenders right now and they need to focus on Education. They don’t need to go down in Alabama history as the most hated Governor and First Lady. I would love to be proud of my state but right now I am ashamed and embarrased. Take a task force into the streets and get rid of the criminals. This would make a lot more sense! This is my 2 cents worth for the day!!!!!!!
