		<description>For those above who mentioned Chapman might be the only legislator who does not always toe the party line, by all means...you need to check out Austin Scott. Look at his record. Only Republican to support changing the flag, and he actually had the guts as a young legislator to sue Roy Barnes when he illegally reapportioned the State&#039;s voting districts--Barnes&#039; first exercise in dealing with real estate.</description>

		<description>Of all the candidates for Georgia&#039;s governor, Jeff Chapman stands out as a &quot;stand by your principles&quot; man, no matter who inside or outside the party objects, and no matter how much moneyed interests oppose him.  His principled approach to the Georgia Power and Jekyll Island issues are great examples of a man who votes his conscience.  However dark a horse, he&#039;s a man to be reckoned with.</description>

		<description>Barnes&#039; economic world view, in his own words on video tape, holds that flipping real estate and extracting rents is the &quot;ONLY economic engine&quot; in Georgia, making himself a Karl Marx poster boy for the evils of corporate fascism (misnamed Capitalism by Marx).

Cottage industry, Ma and Pa businesses, family farms, light industrial, arts and crafts, and high tech abound in Atlanta and Georgia, but Nooooooo, Draft-dodger Roy grew up in a hardware store and never learned the value of hardware for all us poor working stiffs. You suppose somehow someone &quot;twisted&quot; him into thinking he was somehow &quot;better&quot; than the poor fools who work with their own hands for a living?

&quot;They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another eat: for as the days of a tree are the days of my people, and mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.&quot;

No wonder he had to cheat the People of Georgia to steal his millions. No way he could ever make an honest living. Has he ever even mowed his own yard, or shined his own shoes?

Pathetic...no man, no American, and particularly no Georgian.</description>

		<description>Educators in the State of Georgia will turn out in droves to defeat Barnes just like the last time. We will never forget his arrogant dismissal of the profession.</description>

		<description>Roy needs to make sure he locks up the Atlanta Democrat Primary vote before he starts putting all those state government employees out of work.  Once he wins the primary, then he can shift into an Atlanta bashing, swing vote strategy.</description>

		<description>“Why should someone have to drive three hours to see the governor,”  I&#039;m sure Roy can travel around the state and keep office hours at different city halls and county government buildings.  I bet  the folks in Bainbridge would lend Roy a desk and phone, free of charge, anytime he wants to come down and meet with the people.  There you go; problem solved, at no cost to state government during these trying economic times.</description>

		<description>Roy Barnes: &quot;There’s &lt;b&gt;only&lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;two&lt;/i&gt; economic engines in the state.&quot;[Emphasis added] 

Shows what kind of &quot;engineer&quot; Barnes is.

Roy Barnes: &quot;One of them’s residential real estate and the other’s commercial. They work very well in, uh…, conjunction with each other and we need to restart both.&quot;

&quot;Only two economic engines in the state&quot;????? 

Did Barnes &quot;mispeak&quot; or is he just a ignoramus pandering to fatcats?

Hey, &quot;Bird of Barnes&#039; feather &quot;&quot;Barnes is [dumb]&quot;: you&#039;re touting Vietnam law school draft-dodger Barnes who got rich off a sweetheart deal with Big Banking while he prostituted his holy elected office overseeing banking in Georgia.

Get Roy to explain how residential and commercial real estate is the only economic engine in his world.

Then ask the full-fledged draft-dodging physical coward to make up for enriching himself through conflict-of-interest in the banking &quot;business.&quot;</description>

		<description>One reason it&#039;s prime real estate is that it&#039;s accessible by means other than automobile. Driving is not the only way to get there. Why should the state give that up? Also, there is a great deal of underused and undeveloped real estate Downtown; it will be at least a decade before developers would pay top dollar for any of the state&#039;s properties.</description>
