SEC=UGA Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Well, my worst fears have come true... That SOB Nathan Deal won the Repub primary, so now I have to support the Ex. Dem Governor of GA Roy Barnes. It truly is a sad day when an ethically challenged jack leg SOB of Deal's caliber can beat a relatively upstanding moderate like Karen Handle in the primaries. So, I've just called the Barnes campaign and have 8 yard signs on the way (my old house is literally across the street from on e of the polling stations in Marietta, so I can illegally/legally post signs within 50 feet of the polling station, gotta love it!!!)

Savage Beatings Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Why do you feel the need to support anyone in this case? If I did not like a particular Republican candidate, that certainly doesn't mean that I would suddenly support his Democrat rival. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia and the South are already negatively-stereotyped. We really don't need a Governor (or even a candidate for governor) who does not have a college degree. I like Karen Handel, know people on her finance committee, and thought she ran a great campaign up until she started slinging mud. I do not care for(and many Georgians feel this way) Sarah Palin. I don't think Palin's support helped her win the primary as much as John Oxendine repeatedly opening his mouth and Eric Johnson being an architect with his own ethics issues. As for Handel being more "moderate" than Deal; you could throw Cynthia McKinney on the ballot and I might choose her over Barnes. Don't go over to the darkside, we've already seen that trainwreck!

SEC=UGA Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 I personally hate Nathan Deal, he and I had a dust up during the Repub Primaries back in 2001/02. If he were to walk on to my property I would probably punch him in the face. That and he is a crook, can't have him in office. Secondly, I live in Cobb County and Roy will be sure that Cobb County receives some favors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
