This thread will complement the Predatory lending thread.

Hubbard is Bama House Speaker and wrote a book bragging about how voter suppression and a draconian immigration bill, The Republican Handshake helped him capture the Bama house for the Tea Party GOP with the aid of Albert Lee Smith's Widow and Steve Gaines former influential member at FBC Gardendale, Scott Beason.

See public policy here at this site.

Mark Wilson directs the Auburn Living Democracy Project and chaired the pulpit committee that brought new pastor Tripp Martin to the Plains. Gregg Easterbrook talks about Hubbard in his new book on football. Also see my several recent blogs on Hubbard at www.foxofbama.blogspot.com

To the moderator: I do not see what this series of posts has to do with the New Baptist Covenant. I don't have a problem discussing Mike Hubbard, in the appropriate thread and topic, but this same stuff gets spread all over the board.

I think you're right, Sandy, and I've moved it to Politics and Public Policy Issues. On Bruce's behalf.

[Sandy]

Seems that there are a lot of problems of the kind that Hubbard is experiencing cropping up among conservative Republican candidates going back to 2010, and perhaps beyond.

Here’s the CMD’s article from a former TPP negotiator: .

Makes me mighty sad to see my home and native land being poured right down the toilet.

I don't think Lee Saunders has attended a Covenant gathering. If he has, he would know like Bruce Gourley there are several breakout sessions and workshops. As what Hubbard is about is a threat to the Best of the Baptist Tradition on church state matters and how Hubbard specializes in carrying on an Albert Lee Smith/Jesse Helms agenda, then this discussion is most appropriate for the Covenant community and I spotlighted it here in hopes leading folks planning for the next gathering would be aware and consider having a panel of Cynthia Tucker and Wayne Flynt to explore the matter further.

I bet Sandy and Gourley would be surprised at what attention such a workshop at a Covenant gathering would attract.

Therefore please release this thread to play out here in the Covenant Room

Thanks

Over the weekend here is what's playing in Bama courtesy of Hubbard storming the statehouse. This comes a few days after Hubbard announced on his facebook wall his son Clayte is going to Furman to play golf. Hubbard is a native of Hartwell Ga.
