Georgia GOP invents new ways of cannibalism and sleaze

I have to give it to John Oxendine, each time he makes another political blunder or gaffe, none of the missteps by themselves seems to be the fatal blow, but each one taken together paints a portrait of a paranoid, corrupt, sleazy politician ready to pimp out his industry and family for the sake of higher office. I can only pray Republicans are stupid enough to nominate this insurance industry windbag thus guaranteeing a Democratic candidate will take over the Georgia Governor's mansion again. Maybe after a bloody run-off with Karen Handel even further insuring a GOP loss in November.

Pollster Matt Towery was never been held as the paragon of nonpartisan political honor, so none of these shenanigans should come across as all that surprising. I am sorry he had a vertigo faceplant in the tropics, but I have no sympathy for him on that regard and find the timing a little suspect or at least convenient for him.

But I think it is time for someone else to have a Georgia based political polling firm with a little more integrity and ethical behavior. Georgia residents Grayson Daughters, Johnathan McGinty, Jeff Dickerson and Chuck Reece are four people whose political acumen I trust and would point candidates toward if they were looking for honest opinions and feedback. Now if they could form a polling company together.

Jeff Dantzler's arrests may be the best thing that ever happened to him

THis has next to nothing to do with Oconee County with the possible exception of the location of his former office, but a former colleague of mine on the radio got popped today for four counts. Any one who has listened to 960 the Ref AM sports talk radio or heard the UGA Lady Dawgs or men's baseball team has surely heard the encyclopedic knowledge of one Jeff Dantzler. Jeff and I are pretty much diametrically opposed poltically, but today he was arrested on four counts including DUI. I hope he gets the help he needs following his incarceration. I work for a lawyer who could help him out if he does not having someone already representing him. This man is a great broadcaster and I hope this arrest serves as a wake-up call for him and his rock and roll lifestyle. I live a far from perfect life myself but long ago and far away I learned how and when not to drink. Now we will be without he dulcet tones on Lady Bulldog broadcasts as well as on Georgia baseball games and also on the after
