Lady Raider Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Oh no!.....More subdivisions...I for one,just can not vote for Will.I'm not in his district Laurien,A lot of voters will be scared away by the D.....Nothing personal against Will,Voters are afraid of the dems right now,no matter how conservative one claims to be This is true... I personally do not look at the D or the R after a name I vote for the person, I have crossed over several times.. Link to post Share on other sites
bluebonnet Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 This is true... I personally do not look at the D or the R after a name I vote for the person, I have crossed over several times.. As have I LR. Voted a number of times for the legendary Charlie Stenholm -D (Texas) back in my Texas days. Zell Miller will always be a favorite of mine. These men were true statesmen. Not many statesmen left.

xxrsellars Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Pubby, you don't know the first thing about true conseratives. Honestly, you speak of conservatives like a racist would speak of black people. You lump everyone into the same group and make ASSumptions. Don't forget that the only reason that Will is gaining any traction in this county is because a bunch of those nasty conservatives are supporting him. Link to post Share on other sites
jbg Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I'll let Will answer for himself what he likes and doesn't like, but speaking for myself, it seems that this Global Fund for Education strives to provide education for all people, which, as a teacher, I believe is a worthy cause. Now, I have not researched this organization, nor do I believe that funds should go to education in other countries at the expense of education in our own, which is definitely lacking. The website does not affect my family values. The attack against my husband, claiming that he is lying, "bamboozling" the good people of our district is simply ridiculous. Along with several other unsupportable attacks you might have seen in your mailbox, this article has absolutely no substance. He "Liked" a page on fb. My point is that this person is grasping at straws to try to make Will look bad. What does offend my family values is the fact that he took, without permission, a photograph from a very special time, which he could only have gotten off Will's fb page, and attached it to this foolishness. Call me crazy, but when it relates to my child, I feel compelled to get involved. I've yet to see Will answer for himself. I also have not seen Will say he isn't sympathetic to liberal groups like the Global Fund for Education. Educating the world is a great concept. So is socialism. It just doesn't work. You can't really do things like that until you have successfully educated your city, county, state, and country. We have a loooooong way to go. With teachers like Mrs. Avery who can't tell the difference between an attack on family values and a blogger's interpretation of things her supposedly "conservative" husband is sympathetic to, I don't want her teaching my children. 6 Link to post Share on other sites

+North of the Border Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 I truly hope and pray Will Avery loses. HOWEVER, if he wins we owe him all the support and prayers we can give him. We have to hope he votes true to the conservative area he represents and hold his feet to the fire if he doesnt. Thats what elections are for, and if he doesnt he will be voted out quick. So Mr. Avery if you win, you can count on my prayers and my opinions over the next two years! Thats a promise on both! Link to post Share on other sites
willavery Posted November 1, 2010 Report Share Posted November 1, 2010 Will Will be voting a straight Democrat ballot tomorrow? Is he crossing over the line to support any Republican, Libertarian, or other party's candidate? I am sorry I have been slow to answer some of your questions. With just 21 hours until the election, I am understandably busy. JBG, to answer your question, I agree with the idea behind the Global Fund for Education, which, as I understand it, is an organization that seeks to educate people throughout the world on issues ranging from literacy to HIV/AIDS prevention. I frankly do not remember "liking" it on Facebook, as I often get "Like Requests." My wife, as per usual, is correct in saying that my first priority will always be improving Georgia. Frankly, I am as of yet unaware of any bills offered by any state governments that would take money out of the coffers to give to other nations, and I would not a person to offer that sort of bill up. This is not the role of state government and I will never be asked to use Georgia money to send else where. The ideology of the Global Fund for Education is one we can all agree to-- to help all of God's children lead the best and fullest life they can. People have incorrectly postulated that a simple "like" on Facebook is the same thing as a legislative priority, and they could not be more incorrect. On Facebook I also "like" some of my favorite bands, but I will not be using taxpayer money to throw a concert, either. This is a baseless and desperate attack, and doesn't have truth behind it. Cobbobig, I would like to answer your question, as well. No, I will not be voting straight Democratic ticket. On some of the races, I am honestly still undecided, but I will be voting for Gary Black for Agriculture Commissioner, and I am highly considering voting for a few other candidates outside of the Democratic Party. I have never voted a straight party ticket in any election. Palm, thanks for your prayers regardless of the outcome! No one should ever turn that offer down. Your opinions and scrutiny are also very much appreciated. The success of any elected official is directly related to an engaged voting base. Link to post Share on other sites

I think if you were here and you were involved personally with the Avery campaign and had to put up with blockheads like Tom and Ithy you would have a better understanding of why it is necessary to fight fire with fire.

Just because someone likes a cause or group...throw them to the wall. You can't give credit for both of them being available to discuss where they stand. You cannot find anything on the other candidate, except past history. Oh, well...I guess the teachers in the county will have to show what they give after furloughs to be on the approval list to teach. This must have hit a nerve since you post so often. I vote for the person, and if Will goes to work and listens then he will do just fine. Edited November 1, 2010 by smy34 Link to post Share on other sites

In all honesty, it should have been up to other candidates in the GOP primary to bring this out on Paulette. Do you really think she would have won the runoff against Stout or even placed second in the primary had this come out. But it didn't come out largely because the party, now the dominant party in Paulding and Georgia, have become the good old boy party where the errant behavior is tucked back into the closet. It was the same with Deal and the same with Cagle. The point is that it is up to the individual parties to put the best candidate forward and I can't believe that of the three, Daniel Stout, Steve Golden and Paulette Braddock, she was the best and strongest candidate. She got the nomination because she was most favored by the good-ole boy group in the GOP including Jerry Shearin and Virginia Galloway. pubby Link to post Share on other sites
