lotstodo Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I'm with you on Karen and Will, but I just know too much about Deal and I have been knowing Roy a long time. While Roy runs a few degrees left of my position, I still know him to be of good character and above the board with his deals. At least he lives within the law. I know a few EPA lawyers that would argue convincingly against your position. I'm sure he's a nice guy to play a round of golf with, but I can guarantee you that his first responsibility is to what Roy Barnes wants to do first, what his supporters want him to do second, what the Democratic party wants him to do third, and whether or not he can legally do it runs a distant fourth at best. Often that last part was left up to his staff and Departmental Directors to clean up. I'm not telling stories out of school to remind people of the way he ran this state from a back room while supposedly championing sunshine laws, laws with at least 155 known strategic exemptions. I know Deal is no Boy Scout. I just know how Roy ran this state last time, and could never trust him with that kind of power again. Link to post Share on other sites
feelip Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 You're right and I apologize for being a jerk. You should know that I have a monopoly on being a jerk on p.com.

TJB Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I am voting for Deal. I do not think he is a "crook". And I will NOT vote for Barnes because he made some less-than-stellar appointments when he was in office last time and all his commercials appealing to the overworked, underpaid teachers make me sick. Do you know how many days teachers work every year? Do you all know what teachers are paid in Paulding? Not even including the value of their benefits!!! Please, I dont want to hear that crap, Roy! Lets talk about law enforcement.....now theres a group of people who are overworked and underpaid. And, no, I am not in law enforcement. Compared to many professions teachers are pretty lucky but I guarantee we earn every penny and if you stepped foot in a classroom you would realize that and yes the police are underpaid as well. However, I don't disparage the jobs of others and I'm pretty damn tired of people disparaging mine. If you think my job is so damn easy, become a teacher. Link to post Share on other sites

Sugail Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 They were just showing on wsb news that the polls are showing Deal at 45% and Barnes at 37%. I just don't get why so many are supporting Deal. Is it simply because he's republican? Link to post Share on other sites

When does the ship leave the port?????? This has become the lazy style of the republican party in general. They feel once the primary is over they can just cruise into november. That is one reason we need a strong two party choice. Many people are waking up to the fact that a R beside there name spells elected. We need better choices for our people in the capitol,send them a message we want them to work for our vote,and work even harder to stay in office 3 Link to post Share on other sites

Just saw some interesting news on gapolitico.com Well, I'm not voting for her, but that's not why. After reading the whole report (which was incredibly hard to make out, btw), it seems pretty lame. She cut a "gash" out of his hair (for a drug test, she said) and scratched his arm trying to get her cell phone from him? Really? Wooooo. The divorce may have been messy, and I think her using "Rakestraw" in her name is incredibly hilarious, but that's not why I'm not voting for her. I'm not voting for her because of her record of voting for tax increases while on the Board of Education. Link to post Share on other sites

I think the issue at hand, however, is the fact that Paulette Braddock, in 2003 was arrested for domestic violence. At least IMO, that's not someone we need under the Gold Dome.

I believe it is time to elect someone for DISTRICT 19, with good morals and work ethics that will make Paulding County a better place to live, work, worship and play. Paulette has too much hidden baggage, with very questionable ethics, Plus her voting record and absentee/tardy record while serving eight years on the school board is certainly not what Paulding County needs at this time. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

gpatt0n Posted October 6, 2010 Report Share Posted October 6, 2010 He wasn't fired from his job because he did it badly but Barnes was! Once was enough!!!! NewsJunky: Barnes wasn't fired because he did his job badly. Barnes was fired because he miscalculated the outrage he would face when he removed the confederate battle flag from its prominent position on Georgia's state flag. The St. Andrews Cross was added to the state flag to inflame the segregationists when it was adopted in 1956 and has been an insult to the state's black population since. In essence, by characterizing the flag change as caving to blacks Barnes gave credence to those who have been saying that the Republican party was the only white peoples party in Georgia since 1964. The emotions associated with race, frankly, are and remain a potent political force in Georgia and the south ... and the GOP has been exploiting it since Goldwater. What didn't mark Barnes tenure was gross favoritism, cronyism and gross mismanagement of the state. pubby Link to post Share on other sites
