@Jane Kidd is an idiot!

Actually, you’re wrong. The reason Obama and Martin had to be on the same mailer was because it would have been a violation of campaign finance law for the party to do lit for a single candidate above a certain amount. Check the lit from last election that featured them both and then check the “Paid for” tags. The only idiot is the person who opened his mouth without knowing what they were talking about.

Count me as not an offended Democratic voter, but an irritated Independent voter. That should worry the Democratic Party more. Party has it’s place, but it’s not in a non-partisan Mayoral race. The race up until now had been relatively clean. It focused on what people were good at, and what they wanted to do for the city. The Democratic Party threw the first bucket of mud. Way to go Jane Kidd, should we expect your mud slinging to start for the Governors race now too? Good luck Barnes, you’re aligned with her now!

Julie Brown yo’re clearly raciist. This city’s corrupt and broke under you black democratic rule and it;s people can’t afford your kind anymore. Raise proporty taxes that’s what “Shirley-Girl” did before she failed.

When will the American people grow up? Who cares what party you’re from. Are you just sheep listening to the garbage? It’s past time to vote the best people in office. Not the crooks, white or black. We’re a nation in deep trouble and politics got us there. Use your brain not yiur color.

A special thanks goes out to Jane Kidd.

It’s time for Democrats to stop being well-mannered wimps. The Democratic Party needs to support its base and forget about being bi-partisan. The Republicans are rabidly partisan, so why waste any time trying to appease them? I just wish she had exposed Mary ” The Fraud” Norwood a lot earlier. How can you not recall who got your vote for president? Please. Look at how the AJC trashed Vernon Jones and Cynthia McKinney and did everything possible to derail their campaigns. But with Norwood, the AJC has sat back and pretended they didn’t know Norwood was a Republican. All they had to do was check her voting record, which of course we know they did. But they didn’t want to discourage the blacks and progressive whites who have been fooled by Norwood. It’s a blatant double standard. And Republicans will continue screaming “race card”, as a way of stopping people from speaking out against their racism. Norwood has been at City Hall during the entire Franklin adminstration and has done nothing.

I had an interesting robocall today. I am a Republican voter living in Buckhead. The caller said it was from the “Republican Action Coalition” and went on the criticize Mary Norwood for putting down Republicans in her recent TV ad. It quoted her saying she supports Obama and also how much she disliked attending the 1999 GOP state convention. I wonder if this was from a real GOP group (never heard of the “Republican Action Coalition”) or was just a group trying to suppress Mary’s Buckhead vote.

SaneDem you don’t know what you are talking about. First off, the Martin campaign and Obama campaign paid for those ads. In addition the DSCC paid for Martin chum in the run-off not the State Party. There’s such a thing as campaign finance laws. In any case, the Norwood piece was paid for by the State Party. Therefore, any state committee member is entitled to get some answers from Kidd.
