Saner voices within the GOP get no hearing, so I make the first cross party endorsement in the 2014 GA. GOP Primary

September 21, 2013

I endorse Gary Gerrard of Lexington, Georgia in the GOP Primary for Congress in the 10th District for the right to face Ken Dious in November 2014. That said, I wish my Democratic seal of approval weren't the kiss of death amongst the more fanatical fringe that is unfortunately the mainstream of the Republican right in 2013. Mr. Gerrard demonstrates a broad depth of knowledge of the issues and a basic understanding of how government actually functions that is sadly lacking in most Republican lawmakers these days. Saner voices within the GOP get no hearing

So many thanks to Pat Priest, Pat Adams, and Sarajane Love for coming out on a Saturday morning for an hour of picking up garbage on the Oconee Connector this morning. Found a pair of credit cards amongst the many cups, cigarette butts, and wrappers along both sides of the busy road. In case you want to join us, here is where we meet, right besides the QuikTrip: This is where we gather to pick up garbage along the Oconee Connector once a quarter.

Governor Nathan Deal and the Republican Party of Georgia have blamed the AJC and liberals for a report of the facts. If telling the truth bothers the GOP, then Georgians should add that to this list of troubling facts. Fact One: The state ethics commission has repeatedly raised the salary of Deal's hand-picked leader. Fact Two: The same hand-picked leader has been accused of making evidence against Governor Deal's 2010 campaign activities disappear. Fact Three: Governor Deal has yet to explain his REAL PAC investme...
