Everyone running should release their tax returns for duration of their time in public office. Anything more than that is gravy.

Greetings All,

Man-O-Man. What a great thread! We’re captivated over here at the secret underground Libertarian Command Center (LCC) at the responses to Mr. Johnson’s challenge to the rest of the republican field. A pretty standard political idea has fired up their respective bases and unleashed the hounds of hell! Who woulda thunk it? Blind trusts have been in vogue for some time with our political elite class and are commonly used to propagate the concept that while serving the people, they are turning a blind eye to their own interests. Riiiight.

We agree with many of the comments here, especially the ones that point out the self aggrandizing nature of any politician currently holding office seeking new fields to plunder. Which is why we Libertarians are so looking forward to the Governors race in 2010. Next years primaries will be better that any UFC cage match! Tongues will wag, fingers will be pointed and John Monds (L) will cause a runoff in the Governors race. You can help make that happen, Vote Libertarian! Vote John Monds for Governor in 2010!

All of them, borders, norwood, perdue, barnes, deal, e.johnson, jimmy carter, oxendine, along with franklin, and all politicians in cobb, fulton, dekalb, gwinnett, cherokee and the surrounding counties are nothing but good for nothing, worthless, money grubbing, headline grubbing, lying, cheating, stealing, thieving, manipulating pieces of dogsh*t. Not a one of them is worth a darn & all of them should be in jail.

Good for Eric – he put out one year’s worth of taxes. Most of his income, I hear, comes from Northpoint, a developer . Northpoint makes money leasing lots of space to Gulfstream. Gulfstream received big tax breaks from the state, thanks to Eric. So Eric helps Gulfstream, Gulfstream pays Northpoint, Northpoint pays Eric. And we thought Nathan had problems.

I’m enjoying so much watching Republicans eat each other up during this primary. So much for Reagan’s 11th Commandment: Thou Shalt Not Criticize a fellow Republican. Johnson? Oxendne? Deal? Handel? God help us !! The last thing we neeed is another Republican enriching him-or herself or his cronies at the expense of the taxpayer.

Deal is a class act. If my man Johnson doesn’t win he’ll be my choice. He has a proven record that Georgia can be proud of. After all he was named 1 of the 15 most corrupt by CREW. He may not be David Scott but he is a man I wan work with. He will be a great Governor for the power brokers.

Jeff Chapman is a class act. We will be in throuble if he wins because I can’t buy him. Can you believe that Georgia can have a Governor who is not owned by the Power Brokers.

How many state owned cars would Oxy wreck and lie about as Governor?

Jeff Chapman. The only real person in the race. All the others are robots.
