Comments on: Three-state agreement likely to precede any action by Congress on water, Nathan Deal says

The lake has always been part of his district. A real leader would have looked at the strategy being pursued, and proactively created alternatives to solve the water problem. A real leader would have looked at the existing legislation and said we have a problem, lets start to get the wheels in motion to fix it. A real leader would not have waited for the courts to figure it out. A real leader would figure out a way to work with all the parties involved to create a win win solution. He is trying to pretend that he is a real leader because the lake sits in his district.

Deal is a back bencher who has accomplished nothing in congress.

Real, Deal – useless

Deal wants to dam the Flint Riiver in 3 places so that developers, road builders and politicians have lots more lakeside property to fuel their never ending lust to destroy the natural beauty of this state.. Lots of money passing under the table & fortunes to be made in real estate again–if the depression/recession ever ends and people can afford gaudy lakefront mcmansions again.. They won’t stop until GA is ugly and ruined–like most of Florida.

You OX supporters on here sure are a hoot, what exactly should Nathan Deal have been doing the past “16 years” on solving this “water war” — the court decision just came out which placed the burden on Congress, before that, everyone was pretty sure that the state’s Governors were the appropriate leaders on this topics.

Besides, just like it’s a problem now, how exactly would any member of Congress from Georgia have made any progress on this issues in Congress before now — last I checked, Florida & Alabama combined have had a lot more members of Congress than GA for the past 16 years — so they would have never been willing to work an agreement out that didn’t give them everything they want. I mean, heck, we had Newt Gingrich as the Speaker of the House and we’re still in the same situation – so how is one Congressman responsible for fixing this entire mess? Hint: he’s not.

Go back to harassing little 15 year old kids that blog about the nasty tricks ole John and his campaign are utilizing, that seems to be what Ox supporters are best at.

Georgia wouldn’t be in this water mess if Zell Miller were still alive.

This story is way bigger than Sanford and you ran thread after thread after thread aftert thread about him. So in the name of fairness and “journalistic” excellence, you should give so thought to covering this story.

Hey, Jumbo G can we discuss the fact that the Breck Girl was proven to the father of his babymama. I am talking about John Edwards and his lying tookus. You know him, right. He was John F’ing Kerry’s running mate in 04 and a Democrat Presidential candidate last time around. He was famous for his ‘Two America’s” speech. I think he took that ole saw a little too far and decided to have one family for each America.

So now we have Georgia Power’s CEO moderating one of the largest political events of the year. Just great! How bout we just let Georgia Power take over part of the state government … they might do a good job. I mean, with Garrett already determining Georgia’s negotiation strategy … it seems like we already have. Meddlesome corporations!

I enjoy drinking my illegally stolen water more now that I know that it’s being stolen from Alabama and Florida.

So if Deal is the expert, what the heck has he done for the last 16 years in congress to keep us out of this mess – NOTHING.

My man Ox will fix it, if he can keep the office open until 7 – he can take on a water challenge
