Meet the GOP troglodytes of the United States Senate: Richard Shelby (Alabama)

 


A Shelby spokeswoman, in a statement on Tuesday, said the senator has a “traditional view of marriage” and that he believes there is a “sacred union between one man and one woman.” 
Neither senator weighed in on the language that codifies interracial marriage into federal law. Interracial marriage has been legal in Alabama and throughout the U.S. since the Supreme Court’s landmark 1967 ruling in Loving v. Virginia, which recognized interracial marriages.

Watch what she does, not what she says: Nikki Haley wants to be president in the worst way

 


She was elected to a seat in the South Carolina House of Representatives in 2004, 2006, and 2008.  She ran unopposed in the 2004 and 2006 general elections and ran against a Democratic sacrificial lamb in 2008.

She twice ran for Governor of South Carolina.  In 2010, she received just 51.7% of the vote in a deep red state, after winning less than 50% of the vote in a 4-way GOP primary.  She improved her share of the vote to 55.9% in 2014.  

So it's been 8 years since she ran for office.  A little rusty, perhaps?
