Nathan Deal in Paulding County

January 21, 2010

Nathan Deal came to the Paulding County GOP meeting earlier this month.  He was so unimpressive that it’s taken me almost 2 weeks to get around to writing this post about the meeting.
To be fair, Deal was a very nice guy.  I spent some time talking with him after the meeting, and he was certainly [...]

2010 Political Predictions

January 6, 2010

I’ve been going over some things in my mind lately, and I’ve decided to put them into list form here. It’s my list of political predictions for 2010. Some of these are obvious. Some might be more of a stretch. No matter what happens, 2010 is going to be an interesting year in politics, and [...]

Supporting Someone for Speaker

December 10, 2009

This is specifically for those of us in Paulding County who are (were) represented by Glenn Richardson.
I got an email from a friend who was asking me to contact my representative to ask for support of Barry Loudermilk for the new Speaker of the House.  I’ve been represented by Richardson, so I wrote back to [...]

Some Thoughts On War

December 3, 2009

This is, without a doubt, going to be one of the most difficult pieces I’ve ever written.  I’m going to take a stance that isn’t going to be popular with a lot of people who read this blog and who I consider to be very good friends, but I ask that you all hear me [...]

Karen Handel is a Pro-Choice Republican

November 26, 2009

Some lines from Karen Handel’s web site we recently brought to my attention.  On her “Issues” page, she says that she is pro-life, but that she would allow exceptions for cases of rape and incest.
How can Handel be pro-life if she’s pro-choice some of the time?  That’s like someone who claims to be in favor [...]

Nathan Deal Finally Takes a Stand on Something: Higher Taxes

November 19, 2009

Nathan Deal, who’s stance on any issue has been somewhat (read: totally) left out of campaign literature, has finally taken a stance on something: higher taxes on cigarettes.
Smoking’s not good for you, and you probably shouldn’t do it.  Still, pulling an extra dollar per pack out of smokers’ pockets is not what Georgia needs.
Let’s get [...]
