and facebook messages to read and return.I've said my peace there as well.

This is all I have to say on this matter(just my opinion) as I have some articles to write and edit.

PWAAA I am no martyr!!! If I knew for sure 2012 was the end We would start the party now
I was slightly amused by the amount of time it took this to roll out!
If you like Daniel then you didn't want to hurt him.
If you like Sibley you didn't want it out so he wouldn't get accused of Slinging the mud and looking bad.
Jody may just be finding out.
It has been my experience that supporters of candidates play dirtier than the actual candidates, they are not the ones that lose.
This is relevant in the minds of some because they are running to replace someone whose behavior has cost the taxpayers of this county $30,000 for a special election.
A 10 year old indiscretion is no big deal to some, but others may say here we go again.
I would be more concerned with their recent past and behaviors myself.
I have to strongly disagree with the above in bold. Sure, there are "some" supporters of past candidates who may play hardball on the sidelines but I am not seeing this at all with Daniel. Nothing, zero, zip, nada and certainly not from me.
The one who happened to be in the former seat of the House and while I have my own private views because this is not about the previous holder of the that seat, happened to be in a very powerful seat, had been a politician for quite awhile, and well into adulthood, and was holding an elected seat while he committed his acts.
What I see is a pre-judgement for someone who has never held a seat, is being tarnished because of a past incident in his "private" life at a young age, has turned everything around and is now married to a wonderful wife. Before he married his present wife, Kelly, he was forth coming to her of what he did. She told me this earlier this week. He could have hid it from her but he did not. That tells me a lot. It also tells me that Daniel knows of what his future would be if he went back and repeated what he did a decade ago. At this point in his life, as with any of ours, to do something completely unethical or something much worse, would ruin our lives for a very long time.
In my own views since I cannot vote, I also ask why deny a person the ability to become successful after they have made a past mistake, 10 years ago no less and has shown their remorse for it? If that was the case, then many people in this nation wouldn't be where they are now. The thief on the cross with Jesus would not be with Christ now.
In Luke 12:8 we see Jesus saying “Whosoever shall confess me before men, him shall the Son of man also confess before the angels of God”.
In Matthew 7:21, “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven”.
It is just how I feel with this candiate from my own perspective of the matter. I am all for ethical politicians but I also believe a past "private" bad deed long ago as an ordinary citizen should not prevent them from pursuing their goals in life which would include public office.
One cannot even compare of what Daniel did to what Clinton did while in office.

I had been debating myself on this all day...forgive him?, yes...forget it when there is an election on the line..no.
UNTIL....it was revealed that this happened when he was 19....19...a kid.
MOST 19 year olds make stupid, hormonal mistakes.
Yes, I will now forget it...it will not impact how he votes for the people of his district.
Glad ya'll don't know what I did when I was 19....
The same here and yes, I was 19/20 as well. Only a handful of people in my life know what it is and certainly, my parents who had to pay a $300 phone bill, calling collect is expensive.
-
fine. from now on, you go first. then i can just agree or disagree. easier?
Sorry, Johnny come lately here. You beat me to it. 
-
you used too many words. just say you agree with me and save the typing time!!!
You know, I like to talk.

While I am unable to vote in this election because I am in a different district, I want to make a few comments.
Daniel is about 29 years old. This siutation occurred approx. 10 years ago which would make him 19/20 years old.
Second, here is a comment by someone named Bob Tangoe and what Bob said may not mean much to some but as Christians and a Christian myself, I am aware of these bible study groups as I have a friend who attends this all this time with a group of 6 Christian men. My friend, who became a Christian a few years back, attends a Men's Bible study group and they help each other walk the line with Christ. My friend is a recovered Alcoholic. My friend was a raging maniac when he used to drink.
About Daniel, from Bob Tango in the comment section my article:
"Our friendship began when he invited me to a small bible study and prayer group consisting of about 25 men. These men have gathered together every week for over four years and Daniel has been humble and very open to all these men about his past. He and others in the others in the group, rely on each other for accountability and support. Daniel, in the same spirit, is offering voters of Paulding County accountability and support. The statement from “Anonymous Tip” of “once a cheater, always a cheater” is a very sad commentary. If one believes this, they are doomed to repeat all past errors in their life without any ability or hope of change. This would be a very miserable life to live. Fortunately this world is full of many outstanding examples of people who have learned from their mistakes and have moved forward to live exceptional lives. I am sure readers of this blog can testify to many examples of people they know who have."
And that is how I view Daniel's situation.
Another friend of mine told me that would I have done this with Bill Clinton. I haven't responded to him yet but, I doubt it although I may be able to now as it seems he may have cleaned up his act. Clinton committed his numerous acts with more than one woman while he was Governor and continued while he was President. To add, Clinton attempted to hide it and lied when he was caught. Daniel has yet to hold any office and was not in a political office at the time nor has he hid it. Not many of us are going to come and shout to the world of our past sins right off the bat.
Clinton was impeached by the very definition of impeachment but many Democrats had no guts to go along with it in the Senate.
In comparison with Clinton's situation and Daniel's incident or of other "like" comparisons, they are not even close in more ways than one.
Like I said, I cannot vote because of being in Howard Maxwell's district, but in getting to know Daniel more and more everyday, he has learned his lesson of what happened a decade ago and hasn't turned back since.
Lastly, he is on good terms with his ex-wife and they get along.
That is my comment on the matter. I cannot influence his win or lose because I cannot vote, but I do believe that forgiveness has a lot of power. Trust me, forgiving my own father for his terrible deeds not long before he died wasn't easy but in the end, good came out of it.

Pubby you are twisting the facts on how the fair tax works with the " adding 25% " comment. go back and re-read the fair tax book again, slowly, and comprehend it.
I support the fair tax. Liberals support taxing everyone so the money can be redistributed.

Prayers for his family and may he rest in Peace. He won't be forgotten.

Are you one of those RINOs that is trying to make the republican party look bad?
Far from it. As Conservative as it I can get. Those that know me, know that to be a true statement.
-
Other than the amount of light the politicians reflect it's hard to tell the difference.
They're both democrat counties so you'll fit in nicely.
-
One flew over the cuckoos nest.
I think we would be better off to wait until the real election. We haven't had a representative in years so I can't see how a few months will matter.
You can always move to Clayton or Dekalb County.

You do know that with some on here that is a badge of honor!
I liked all of the candidates. At this point I do have a preference but I don't want to make any of them feel they are not worthy candidates. I will be interested to get the take from others who watched the debate. To be honest I did not find any of them to be perfect but I think it will be hard for me to find someone who is. It will be a tall order for a candidate to be perfect in my view!I do agree with you.

Are you giving me that label PT?
Of course not. -
Here comes the Band of Jackals.
There's only one Jackal here in this topic and isn't me or JMT.

As if someone would care about what you thought of the tactics? Self-grandiose, are we?
The debate was interesting. I know the least worst of the three and that is for whom I plan on voting. Other than that, that's the entire depth I discuss on this board about politics of any sort.
Self-grandiose? Takes one to know one, I think.
I know a lot of people weren't there, and believe it or not - there are some people who are interested in my insights and opinions on a variety of topics. This race is one of them. You are not one of those interested. That's fine with both of us. Put me on ignore.
Cheers.
I give you a thumbs up for stepping in as the MC for this event.

Ronnie said he had a website? I cannot find it and how exactly is his name spelled? Is it Ronnie or Ronny?

I bet I know one of them! I watched the whole thing!!!
Will Pubby put this debate online?

I don't know...the roads are not looking good.

Well, considering the fact that I deal with them on a daily basis (not just from the worksite--but in my job) I can tell you that they ARE NOT citizens. That is the bottom line. Most of them drive better cars than most of us, have more designer crap than most of us (and they don't like to carry the knock-offs)--but yet the government is paying all of their medical expenses and they are getting WIC for their kids. Try walking around the Walmart on Cobb Parkway. They are riding around the parking lot in the Suburbans, Escalades, etc--but yet they go get their foood with food stamps and WIC--and we shouldn't be upset about it??????
I have had clients come in to me to save their house from foreclosure, working in a tortilla factory (yes there is one in Marietta) and then when it comes to their court date (in Federal Court), they call me all in a panick because they lied to us, give us a fake SSN and are scared to go to Court because they are illegal. They own more than me and most people that I know owns--and they got it all with an illegal SSN?????
Yeah---it ticks me off. And I would venture to say that probably 75% of them that you see in this area---are illegal.

This topic is about illegals working jobs that Americans are being passed over for. 'feelip is absolutely correct, companies are being under bid and under cut, because others are using illegals to do the work. They pay in cash, do not take out taxes, or insurance, and pay less. How can Americans compete with that. To add insult to injury the taxpayer is then expected to pay their medical bills. California is a state that has encouraged this type of thing and now they want states like Georgia to bail them out.
Not to mention, the American jobs that have been taken away by them. Many in construction and other occupations are laid off and losing their homes. Get them out of this country.
-
You know what? F 'em. Right now we need to be circling the wagons and worrying about making better lives for AMERICANS. I wouldn't care if we started deporting all of them.
WOW...For once,I actually agree with you.
-
What I want to know is whether the illegals are on their way out of our country.

The HOA of the Riverwood subdivision and David Pearson are being sued by the homeowners in Riverwood - over 90 of them. The development is in East Paulding and is suing the HOA and developer of the subdivision for alleged misuse of the their dues.
The home owners have banded together to collect legal fees to bring this to court.
They hold town hall meetings at New Hope First Baptist church and have another one planned in the very near future.

Allegations Surface Against District 19 Candidate

Pubby,I have to add this before I leave this topic for the time being.
First of all, no one works for free and being on Examiner as a local reporter of Republican politics is of no exception. And there is more than just views for pay. after hitting 1000+ views in combination of all my news clips, in just a week, I am pleased at that. It tells me that people are interested in Republican politics.
Second, who ever posted the nastiness comment(and mind you) I could have deleted it as I have the ability to do so, was more of a devious nature. It would have come out sooner or later so it was no suprise that it did.
And third, although it wasn't in my article, I am happy that it broke on my site first. And honestly, Daniel knew his past deed could come up as he hid nothing and when it came up, as he has told several people, many times, to ask him anything and he means anything, he spoke and presented his words.
Later.
Oh I guess you did....
