To GoKaren: Ms. Handel’s ethics only go so far. I doubt she will be anything but a catalyst for those trying to rip Fulton County apart.

Judge Oxendine was paid for 170 days at $500 per day compared to 53 days and 34 for the other 2 judges, doesn’t that sound way out of line, and was he also paid by the state for the day he was privately practicing law too? If candidate Oxendine cannot keep up with his father’s own unethical and illegal acts, can we really expect him to watch over Georgia’s government, I don’t think so, and do we really want anothe mistake like Purdue.

Tancred – Your revisionist history is defied by the fact that the majority of Georgians booted the fool from office. If the Utopia you described existed, the voters would have responded in kind.

While a small fringe of voters worried about the flag, the majority of voters remember Barnes as a man who tried to create fake lottery worries and pass them off as the important reason to vote for him. The voters knew Purdue wasn’t touching the lottery and realized Roy had no reason to be governor.

Please remind me, what exactly did he accomplish while Governor? Please don’t list things that other people started and that he was unable to destroy in four years, but what was it that he actually accomplished? What is his legacy, other than the symbolic flag thing? Seriously, I cannot remember a single positive thing.

Maybe John Oxendine’s dad will get as much media attention (”lead news story at 6 pm”) as the young father who was charged with forgery and insurance fraud in South Georgia last year. John Oxendine was there that morning looking spiffy for tv news crew.He was only there to get a tv commercial out of it for himself. You should have seen it. Oxendine didn’t do a follow up to the story to say the young man turned out to be totally innocent of all charges. He offered no apology for ruining this young family’s entire lives. This young man worked so hard to take care of his wife and young children. He hasn’t had a paycheck in over a year because of this situation. They cannot afford to buy desperately needed medicine for their young child right now because of this. The only reason this situation even happened was to further his race for office. I hope what he started will come full circle, and he will know what it feels like to have your life totally destroyed. Apparently Oxendine’s lack of morals runs in the family. Maybe you’re just getting what you deserve John Oxendine, and I hope it costs you the election.

Sounds like Daddy Ox is more like his boy than most of us thought. Why did it not surprise me for this to be handled by a press release from Ox’s campaign? If Ox had as many conservative credentials as he has issued press releases, Ox would already be Governor. The closest Ox will get to the Governor’s mansion is he drives a Crown Vic into Buckhead.
