If he is re-elected it won't be Mr. Stout that is making us look like a bunch of toothless hillbillies. You can blame it on the voters. To be more specific, the voters that are influenced by organizations such as the Right to Life.

 

Agreed

[Anyone see this article about Steve Golden?]

AGAIN, if you took the time to learn the whole story and the real truth you would be so ashamed of your judgmentalism.....

 

 

First of all, I lack enough voyeuristic qualities to need to know the whole story and the "real truth".

 

There was nothing judgmental in my statement that you quoted therefore nothing to be ashamed of. The only judgements I make on Mr. Stout are events that occurred in 2010.

 

In addition, if YOU had taken the time to know what part of the quote I was referring to YOU would realize that the rest of the state's perception is their reality and the "whole story" doesn't really matter. Bottom line is Mr. Stout made Paulding County a laughing stock.

[Thank you Paulding County - Adam Gregory]

Well said. I wish you all the best.

What are you saying, animal? That if Mrs. Cochran quietly steps down the mysterious allegations against a family member may just go away?

 

The allusion so far has been that Cochran herself has done nothing wrong. Why should she step down?

 

Paulding County won't recover soon from the Stout fiasco unless he is defeated tomorrow, how could Cochran bring shame on the Paulding Republican Party?

 

I'm still waiting on an answer to this post from page 1.

[Who is on the ballot.]

Thanks for the list Pubby! BTW: I didn't see "Roger Hines" on your list for School Superintendent. Is this an oversight, or am I unclear about what should be on your list? Just wondering, because Roger Hines is a really great guy, and I hope he wins!

 

I really like Hines as well and was disappointed in his withdrawal. However, if you like Hines, I found Barge to be a good alternative.

Mr. Stout my issue with you is in the first election you were all about transparency but you never divulged your relationship with your Mother in Law.

I was on a trip this summer and when I introduced myself to a lady she looked at me and asked what was wrong with Paulding County that we had a representative that had a sordid past and then we turned around and voted for you with your bazaar past. I am sorry but I am ready for people to say positive things about our county.

 

And people thought I was making that stuff up. It's been happening and it continues to happen.

I'm glad you 'praised' Mr. Donovan. I fear, given WFAL's experience, that if you hadn't, he'd have threatened to sue you for libel too.

You just can't quit can you? Although you love spouting Drew's misrepresentations.

[Anyone see this article about Steve Golden?]

So, what is more important to Mr. Stout - his job at the bank or representing Paulding County????? Missing key votes, whether excused or not, is still missing key votes.

 

He has now quit his job and calls himself a "consultant". So, the job was VERY important at the time, but maybe a month later, not so much. Just sayin.

[Anyone see this article about Steve Golden?]

Here's what I got from this, upon first reading. Mr Stout in proclaiming to take the high road, took the low road.

 

A one word assessment is "hypocrisy".

 

I think that we have enough hypocrites in government.

 

I guess Stout has shown his true colors.

[Anyone see this article about Steve Golden?]

Way to go. I won't respond to the flier, I'll just let my campaign staff do it for me. Daniel, the flier was sent by Steve's campaign too. Please show us the article where Golden promised he would not discuss the FACTS. He wants to talk about sticking to his promises to the people. However, with his 40+ missed votes did he have permission from the people he represents to be absent?

[EARL COSGROVE for POST 4 COMMISSIONER!]

I liked him.

[Post 2 Candidate Beverly Cochran rumor is likely libel/slander]

Sorry OP but if you think your tidbit of innuendo is enough, think again.

[Politics and Fireworks at Taylor Farm]

Will you please provide the documents that shows that I am telling a lie?

Prove your comments are true. You started it.

 

What has ICE got to do with this?

I agree if the citizens elect Stout the voters accept his improper behavior.And they want that type individual to represent them under the gold dome.

I disagree. Most still don't know about it.

[PCSO Deputy charged with obstruction]

none should be happy about this. This a-hole has 2 small children who will be affected greatly by this.

 

My apologies. I was simply referring to those who wanted the information published.

[PCSO Deputy charged with obstruction]

Well, some should be happy now

[Paulding: The race is on for DA, State Senate and GA House]

Newsweek Interesting article, particularly on post-Katrina education in LA.

[Paulding: The race is on for DA, State Senate and GA House]

Excellent response, very open and candid, I wish the other candidates of District 19, would come onto p.com and openly discuss the issues,As you have?

 

The only thing that response did for me was to convince me beyond any reasonable doubt that Will Avery is absolutely NOT the right person for District 19.

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

Bellaprincess, you ask such good questions!! I appreciate what pigpen has added as well. (whew!!) I think what he is saying that as a magistrate judge he cannot represent people on criminal cases. He has worked on criminal cases before, just not recently. Is that correct??

 

Not entirely accurate. He must represent in Superior Court. As to the remainder, I'm not sure. I had heard that he began his career as an assistant DA.

 

BTW, If we are using the "court performance" as a yardstick (as you've indicated with Donovan), have you observed the other 2 candidates in court?

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

Shouldn't this be in the Political Forum??? Just curious...........

 

It's a local political race that will most likely be decided in the July 20 primary. Pubby leaves those in the countywide news.

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

I knew who I wouldn't vote for a long time ago, you're right!! I respect your opinions as well, funny how we can actually talk about this and still remain friends. I think this is how it's supposed to be.

 

 

It is how it's supposed to be. I don't necessarily agree with all that you've said, but I've never witnessed Donovan (actually any of the candidates) in the courtroom.

 

I do know that cases involving children can be extremely complicated. While I'm not coming out in favor of Mr. Donovan making a reply on a specific case, I also don't believe he's "leaked secrets". And I really don't believe this one case defines his entire career.

 

I like WFAL. But I don't know all the facts surrounding her issue. She and I have never discussed it at all.

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

While all three of these people running might be fine gentlemen, I don't think we have very good choices in this race. Too bad, it's a very important one.

 

I think I have made up my mind.

 

I know, like and respect you and your opinions, but I think you made up your mind a long time ago.

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

I agree, we are kind of at the lesser of three evils here.

 

Here we go.........

 

positive - Drew Lane, nice guy, really tries.

 

postive - Donald R. (Dick) Donovan, nothing yet.

 

positive - Chad Plumley, community oriented, is a great guy and serves where needed both professionally and as a volunteer.

 

I'm sure I'll have more later but in a rush right now.

 

I agree, Drew Lane appears to be a very nice guy.

 

Dick Donovan is a nice man with an impressive background in criminal law and in his work prior to entering the legal profession.

 

Chad Plumley also appears to be a very nice guy. I'm sure his ties to Foster will assist him in this election.

 

I've not fully made my decision in this race, but I know I won't be casting my vote for Drew Lane.

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

Added my additions above. I do not know Chad but have heard some good things about him.

I can't speak personally for the one I added for Dick because I have never been in court to see first hand.

 

For the record, Drew Lane did NOT personally try the Silver Comet murder case.

[What no thread about the DA's race?]

Can't believe no one has started a thread about this one. Last election this seemed to be a hot topic. I am familiar with all three candidates and have a question specifically for deadeye aka Dick Donovan. Could you please tell us why you left Paulding County and moved your practice to Douglas County??

 

You have been very vocal in another thread about a specific case, now can you give us some specifics about yourself??

 

 

I do not know the specifics, but Mr. Donovan has had his office in Douglas for a very long time. You may not know this, but managing a law practice with more than one office is very difficult. if he found that the majority of his clients were coming from Douglas County, it would make way more sense to simply have an office there. He's still free to practice law in any county in Georgia that he may choose.
