Hmmm… Heath do have some interesting positions on taxes:

Taxation

As a Georgia State Senator, I believe that we must not raise taxes. The State, Federal and Local governments must live within their means, just as we have to do in our own homes.
We must also recognize that in a growing economy, revenues increase without any increase in tax rates. We need a disciplined method of reserving an appropriate amount of revenue during good times and returning the excess to the taxpayers in proportion to the amount paid.

And the part about rewarding his friends with tax monies and the ignoring voters, where was that part? Maybe its in this part:

Personal Responsibility and Moral Values


I was proud to have voted for legislation this past legislative session that requires those receiving welfare benefits to undergo drug testing. I believe we should continue to shrink the size of government and reduce welfare programs. Every government program like welfare should be strictly temporary and those on welfare should be pushed to get back to work as soon as possible.

It would seem that “straitroad” thinks it’s just fine to use taxpayer/state monies to pay off a politician. At a salary of $150K ($200K when benefits are included), this is certainly a felony. Was the GPB job posted for internal applicants? Were all hiring policies followed? Is Chip trying to qualify for a lifetime pension by staying in state government service?

It is merely evidence that the good-ol-boy network is working just as hard in the last 10 years as it did for the Democrats for the previous 100 years. It wasn’t right when the Democrats did it, it isn’t right now. But you know what? If a Democrat were to get elected governor in this state, I have no doubt whatsoever that the Democrat equivalent of Chip Rogers will get sent to GPB, and that Aquagirl will have no problem with it.

http://www.miamiherald.com/2013/02/04/3216337/trail-of-sen-bob-menendez-investigation.html

SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic — The shadowy tipster who made explosive allegations involving U.S. Sen. Bob Menendez and underage prostitutes in the Dominican Republic named names. He gave descriptions of the women, and in some cases, phone numbers and addresses.

A week after the claims made headlines in the United States and on this Caribbean island, the alleged prostitutes have disappeared. An attorney who once represented two of the women said he hadn’t spoken to them in months, and then stopped returning phone calls himself. A two-bedroom apartment where some of the alleged liaisons took place is now vacant. Little remains here beyond hazy memories.

maybe that’s why you’re not hearing more? there isn’t anything new to report?

One of the current board members at Georgia Public Broadcasting just happens to be Bert Brantley. One wonders if he thus had a role in Chip Roger’s transition from the Georgia legislature to GPB. After all Brantley surely has the background and credentials to have helped make this happen. Brantley is currently Executive vice-President for Public Affairs and Issue Management at major PR firm McRae Communications:

http://eon.businesswire.com/news/eon/20110124006135/en/McRae/Bert-Brantley/public-affairs

He was not only communications director for Governor Sonny Perdue, but he also recently stage-managed the passage of the very controversial Georgia charter school amendment as the CEO of the pro-charter school non-profit “Families for Better Public Schools,” through which hundreds of thousands in out of state (and in-state) donations were funneled from powerful anti-public school education millionaires, billionaires, and the charter school corporate entities which will now benefit from this sea-change in how charter schools get approved in Georgia, Yes, one wonders whether Brantley just happened to be strategically located as a board member at Georgia Public Broadcasting right at the time these Republicans needed him to be there, i.e., right at the time they needed Rogers to be employed somewhere else besides the Georgia General Assembly.

Not trying to entrap you, but honestly, the only thing I ever hear from the climate skeptics is some business about a new ice age popular 35-40 years ago, if memory of previous cites I’ve seen serves. Problem is, it wasn’t as massive nor anywhere near as long-lived as what we have regarding greenhouse gases today.

There may have been one or two others, but those are the only names I remember off hand. Gennifer Flowers and Monica were both consenting adults with Bill. How many of Packwood’s staffers consented?

As to your statement, those on the Right put Newt Gingrich on the path to the presidency for a split second. Most recently, the Lt. Governor of Nebraska had to step down because he was making bootycalls on his state issued phone.

One of the things I worry about with alternative cable networks and owner designed internet news is the local corruption goes unanswered. These guys go and hide from this reporter and she doesn’t come back, he now has a green light to do it again. I mean it was pretty corrupt when you had the Ray Moores reporting hard and furious, but now the resources are dissipating and these crooks kind of control what they want you to hear.

This is why I was so happy Obama came through the negative ad attack of the rich right in the last campaign. I think the corrupt politicians can control places like Georgia where obviously more people are like them than not, but nationwide seem to see through these petty crooks and not allow for this cheap stuff to go on.

In 1994, according to a leaked memo, the Republican strategist Frank Luntz advised members of the Republican Party, with regard to climate change, that “you need to continue to make the lack of scientific certainty a primary issue” and “challenge the science” by “recruiting experts who are sympathetic to your view.”[9] In 2006, Luntz stated that he still believes “back [in] ‘97, ‘98, the science was uncertain”, but he now agrees with the scientific consensus.[41]

This one is a no brainer. I guess that’s why you dont get it.

For anyone that has actually ever actually shot a shotgun, the way Obama is holding the firearm in the picture pretty much tells the story. He’s done little if any shooting in his life. They (his handlers) must have rushed him out to Camp David or wherever to get the picture in time for his “campaign” this week against guns and he wasn’t given much time with an experienced shooter to prepare. This man knows that his liberal base so blinded he can basically tell them or show them anything and they will believe it. What he seems not to be able to grasp is that 50%of this country doesn’t believe anything he says or does and for good reason. He is a media created leader built upon images, not substance.

Sure, if it were a Republican “scientist” (there’s an oxymoron for ya) because he would hold the thermometer upside down in his Georgia backyard in August and proclaim that the temperature is dropping therefore there is no global warming. Then again, they also believe that since we still have winters here on earth, there can be no global warming.

td, Anytime we can get a far leftest out of the bureaucracy it is a good day

So, you think Chip Rogers was one of those far leftest who Deal had to take care of and remove from his Majority Leader position?

Chip Rogers was a pain in Deals butt to accomplish his agenda so instead of him being a back beach bomb thrower for the next two years he decided to appoint him to a post in state government to keep his mouth shut. Same way Obama appointed Hillary to be Sec of State. He wanted her out of the country during his first term so that the media would not be asking her opinion about every move he was making.

This is called politics.

I happen to disagree very strongly with the modern Republican Party on just about everything that it does. Those are honest policy disagreements as well as disagreement about its basic no-compromise governing style, which I find dangerous. I make no apologies for any of that, and I express those differences in policy terms.

However, I don’t believe I have ever said or implied that Republicans are somehow inherently more corrupt than Democrats, because I do not believe that is true and never have.

Didn’t that Georgia politician talking about science being “from the gates of hell” tell you anything?

Hmmm this reminds me of something:

Republican party- “Rape is a good thing. Without rape, we wouldn’t have all these beautiful children that we don’t want to help feed or clothe. Why should you abort a child just because you were raped? Why not keep that child or give it to a loving couple that enjoys rape just as much as your rapist did? Besides, if it was a legitimate rape, you wouldn’t have gotten preggers in the first place. You want birth control? Just put an aspirin between your knees” (smirk)

American Voting Women said – “What The F………”

Republicans have absolutely NO idea what they’re talking about most of the time. Sometimes they can sound sincere and helpful; but those other times, when they sound ignorant and arrogant, those are the doozies.

Republican Men And Rape– If they are so in awe of rape, they should join their local prisons and/or penitentiaries, slap Big Earl or Big Mac in the face, and see what happens.

If its legimate rape, their bodies will shut that sucker down.

It is easy to say it’s all our fault..we can be heard at ballot box but IMO the situation suggests the opposite.

How is the situation the opposite? Are you of the opinion that most voters are too dumb to form their own opinions and merely vote based on the shiny objects that are shown on tv? I tend to think that there are many who are capable of thinking on their own.

The reason why a very large majority of congressional seats are uncontested is due to money.

Bull hockey!!!! Most seats run uncontested because of the makeup of the districts. What politician is going to run in a district where his voter base is less than 40% of the eligible voters?

I no longer “buy” the argument that its up to us to make changes “from the outside”.

Well, if you’re whining that you can’t do it without the money, how else are you going to make the change? The system doesn’t work without the voter. It doesn’t matter if a candidate spends $5 or $5 billion. Without actual living and breathing people casting a vote for them, their spending is worthless.

Which one of the progressives on the blog are going to come out in favor of this global warming approach?

“Want to reduce the effects of global warming? Stop working so hard. Working fewer hours might help slow global warming, according to a new study released Monday by the Center for Economic Policy and Research.

A worldwide switch to a “more European” work schedule, which includes working fewer hours and more vacation time, could prevent as much as half of the expected global temperature rise by 2100, according to the analysis, which used a 2012 study that found shorter work hours could be associated with lower carbon emissions.

The Center for Economic Policy and Research is a liberal think tank based in Washington.”

You waste everyone’s time posting your steaming excrement on this blog. I, for one, am sick of it! I’m sure I speak for everyone here when I say you should take it over to Wingnut’s blog.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Let ‘em keep it up.

If CONS want to lose another election let them KEEP DOING

what they ARE DOING.

They will NEVER win back the “White” House.

How are the dummycrats going to convince men to vote for them? Gender gap is just as big on the men side.

4 years of Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio in front of the camera will take care of the Hispanic vote.

White women are already seeing what a bad choice they made with Obama. Young voters will see the same after another 4 years, plus they not going to be as enthused about voting for an old wrinkly white woman if the Dems nominate Hillary.

The 8 million religious and Tea party conservatives that sat home in November will be ready to vote in 2016 for a good conservative candidate.

Without Obama on the ticket those 10 to 12% (mostly men) African Americans that have shed the plantation yoke will come back.

BTW: Reagan won 49 States in 1984 and won reelection by around 15 million votes (Obama only won by 6 million votes) and all the media said the Democratic party was done and could never come back after that ass whipping. What happened 8 years later? The American people have a way of changing their minds and shifting their opinions.

You have a right to own a gun if you are not a felon or mentally incompetent. A woman has a right to an abortion up to her second trimester, or, if the pregnancy puts her life at risk.

Each right is available with restrictions; no right is absolute.

It is too bad that you have taken the time to look at the taxes paid by anyone in this country who has a job. I am sure you will find everyone who works pays some type of tax, be it Social Security, Payroll, Medicare, sales tax, gasoline tax, etc., etc., etc.

If you will look at your own tax structure, if you work and have a mortgage, you too are what you so aptly define as a “taker.” If you file your taxes, you use the deduction for interest. Folks that rent pay a higher rental fee to pay for the units owned by a real estate developer, who use their federal deductions for real estate taxes and interest.

What part of that do you not seem to understand?

Ever heard of subsidized housing? Taxpayers pay their rent, buy them food, buy them coke, buy them Escalades, pay their cell phone bills, pay their doctor bills when they shoot each other, buy them Toys for their Tots, buy them contraceptives, abortions (which Im ok with, the more the better), etc. Anything else?

Perhaps he should instruct one of his daughters to get pregnant so he can really show hes a warrior for women. Just imagine the political ad. His own daughter gets an aborion. He is for real.

I always wonder that too. If folks living off the government have it so good – ‘Taxpayers pay their rent, buy them food, buy them coke, buy them Escalades, pay their cell phone bills, pay their doctor bills when they shoot each other, buy them Toys for their Tots, buy them contraceptives, abortions” – then why are you so dumb that you keep working?

The truth of course is that people who depend on government programs don’t do well at all – especially in Georgia – and no one does it unless they absolutely have to.

and let’s not forget that virtually every pickemup truck sold in the USA (ok, I’ll guess it’s like 90%, I could be off by 5% or so) is to some a-hole who uses it to drive it to his office job every day.

I mean, lots of them are actually called upon to do actual work on occasion, but the personal vehicular overcapacity of this nation is not something I’m likely to celebrate under any circumstances, and far less so if some dead right-wing schmuck like Paul Harvey is preaching at me that I need to do so.
