Oconee County, GA Politics

Well Wendell, maybe if you had followed suit of your brother and supported someone who would fight for Oconee County in the Run Off, we would have a much better chance of defeating the McKillip mess. 8-15-11 Oconee being divided to benefit Doug McKillip is outrageous and needs opposition

Hey, how about this? Georgia Democrats have a plan that actually keeps Oconee County's representation whole. So why does State Representative Chuck Williams not support this plan? Because he would rather play footsie with his fellow Republicans instead of what is doing best for Oconee County and supporting what is overwhelmingly supported by even the local G.O.P. elected officials on the Board of Commissioners. I said it during the campaign, and I will repeat it again here, Chuck Williams is a man who just can't say no. Democrats' district maps aim for unity || OnlineAthens.com

Freeman-Lynde: What about Oconee Democrats? || OnlineAthens.com

Does anyone understand how poorly this makes recently elected State Representative Chuck Williams seem? Forget me, I would not have been able to do much to make a stand against the Republican resegregation plan, since they have almost a super majority in both Houses of the Georgia General Assembly. But why support someone who will not fight for Oconee County? Mr. Williams, where are your morals, sir? You have barely been in office a month and you have already forsaken your home county. Have some standards, have a spine, show some support for your home and the party that brought you to the Georgia House of Representatives. And just to allay some of the name callers out there, I am not the least bit bitter about this cowardly map, just damn sad and upset that so many local voters were sold a bill of goods and did not realize how much this stinks and when the local GOP comes out against dividing Oconee County, it should provide some sense of outrage and indignation about the process of e...
