I love that guy, and he's right, that f'er Barnes does think we're all a bunch of redneck yokels. He's playing ads with two old men talking like they're from stickville, Georgia circa 1880. I've been to Macon, Savannah, Atlanta (spit), Columbus, Valdosta, and live in Evans (Augusta). I don't know hardly ANYONE that speaks with such a heavy accent.

Dale Peterson sounds like he's from the sticks to me.

Speaking of crooks, I don't really follow Georgia politics too closely, but I think Nathan Deal probably qualifies from what I do know. The only honest politician Georgia has had in years was Max Cleland. And he was just a bit too liberal for Georgia.

Then how in the hell can you make those two contradictory statements?

Well they're not really contradictory first of all. I read the AJC, we get Georgia politics on Tallahassee TV because part of South Georgia is the Tallahassee TV market, I read any national stories, but I don't follow all the blogs and such that are there now, and I don't follow the elections as closely as I used to. However, up until 2-3 years ago, I was well versed on Georgia politics.

...then you'd know Cleland isn't the only honest politician. Besides, I don't view any liberal as honest. It's not honest to steal people's money and dole it out to others for your own votes and then say, "I did this". No, ya didn't. The taxpayers did. They should rename every damn building in America that's named after a politician in the last 100 years to "Taxpayer _______".

Well I'm sure there are some others elsewhere, but of the statewide office holders, there hasn't been once since Sam Nunn. Zig-Zag Zell was interesting as a senator, but he was slick as Governor.
As to the rest of your statement, it's pretty hard to have any sort of conversation when you want to define any amount of taxation to support government as theft.

Taxes should be used to fund government operations. Not to buy votes and dole out to other people. That is theft.
You definitely don't follow GA politics closely then. If we're talking state-wide elections, GA has been pretty good at electing honest, non-crooked people.
I'm not sure how Zell Miller was "slick" or "interesting". You call him Zig-Zag, but his politics remained fairly stagnate. He was a GA democrat, which the party left for them to turn republican. (much like most of the south)
Cleland, Chambliss, Isakson (one of the least controversial IMO), Barnes (lied about the flag, but nothing "crooked"), Nunn, etc. etc. etc. While I might not like what some have done in office, they're far from dishonest.
