Gov. Sonny Perdue and Nathan Deal. Vote Nathan Deal.

#2.1 Anonymous on 09/16/10 at 07:44 PM

The Deal is done -- pun intended... Deal is in debt to the tune of $5 million dollars. I hate that for him, because I'm not a fan of Roy Barnes. Barnes, imo, is an arrogant, condescending jerk -- see the profile of most lawyers for validation. He 'figuratively-screwed' the educators, when he was in office the last time. And, he's making all of these big promises that he can't keep, just to get re-elected. Sad, but I believe that huge debt of Deal's will be his waterloo.

I don't think? $5 million dollars. Get some more money.

#2.1.2 Anonymous on 09/18/10 at 10:26 AM

$8 Million now.....

Deal is NOT "done", just because the news media says so. The same media that said barnes was a shoo-in for re-election (which he didn't get)

A vast majority of people are "in debt" and are struggling financially lately. How can you hold that against him? I see it as a positive, he knows how the rest of us feel. I sympathize with him, and admire his courage in trying to help his family.

Also, I can't believe people would actually consider barnes after what he did so arrogantly against the will of the people. If y'all vote him back in, you will get what you deserve. That goes for the teachers union backing him as well, thats hilarious.

Face it, there are no good candidates for governor in this election. Like it was previously stated, Barnes is the typical condescending lawyer with an entitlement mindset. He's a jerk!!!

If you don't think that the $5 million dollar debt hanging over Nathan Deal's head is a distraction, then I'm not sure what to think of your assessment of what Georgia needs as their next governor. I mean the guy stands to lose everything that he's got, so how can he focus on being governor with all of the personal baggage.

I would vote for him, however, as a vote against Barnes. It's just a sad state of affairs to think that our next governor, regardless of which one is elected, will be one of those two.

Your statement... "A vast majority of people are "in debt" and are struggling financially lately. How can you hold that against him? I see it as a positive, he knows how the rest of us feel. I sympathize with him, and admire his courage in trying to help his family."

I can only agree with the portion of that statement that doesn't take into account the $5 million dollar debt, which ain't chicken feed.

If it was just several thousand dollars, then you would have a valid point. But, $5 Mill. -- give me a break.

Seeing the sorry state of education results and the ridululous salaries of some of them, it is we the people who have been screwed, not the educators. Hopefully Barnes in the Govenor's Mansion would send them a much needed message.

#3 H B on 09/16/10 at 03:52 PM

I think we have had a good Governor with Sonny Perdue.
He has shown leadership, that we failed to have before.
I hope the next Governor can fill his footsteps.

#3.1 Anonymous on 09/16/10 at 06:40 PM

What exactly has he done, other than give himself and only himself tax cuts. Oh yeah and not fund education the way the state constitution says it should be. Oh yeah and then paying a law firm from New York Millions of tax dollars a year to keep local school systems from suing him over the laws he is breaking.

#4 Deliverence on 09/16/10 at 04:35 PM

Does he look like Ned Beatty or what?

...and who cares?...

It won't be hard for Roy Barnes to follow his footsteps!

#6.1 Anonymous on 09/16/10 at 07:22 PM

Obama Barnes? Don't vote Roy Barnes. Anti Obama. Please, vote Nathan Deal for Governor.

#6.2 Anonymous on 09/22/10 at 01:51 PM

Roy barnes is a straight out liar, and doesn't care what the majority of Georgian's want.

Big government barnes is about as anti- Georgia as you can get.

#7 iggle on 09/17/10 at 06:09 AM

A Christian movie and prayer service a couple weeks ago. Now a "community prayer gathering" with the gubner. Didn't know SPLOST dollars could be used to build a church!

#7.1 Anonymous on 09/17/10 at 09:46 AM

And tax dollars be used to pay the salary of the person who staffs the facility...

#7.2 gab on 09/17/10 at 04:51 PM

Anyone can rent the building. How about a "cry and moan at anything that rpresents progress in our community" club meeting? From the looks of this website, it would be standing room only!

#8 NOT Shelia Tolley on 09/17/10 at 12:47 PM

I wonder if Barnes would help with the Donna case?

Becky should write Roy Barnes as well and see if he cares.

#9 Anonymous on 09/17/10 at 06:36 PM

i bet Deal will not be in debt when he leave the govenors office....i will bet that he will have more money in the bank than his govenor's salary over the eight years ......

#9.1 Anonymous on 09/19/10 at 12:58 PM

If you're lobbying for something, then it would be a good time to ask for a favor, if Deal is elected. You know - 'Backscratching-101'.

#15 NOT Shelia Tolley on 10/02/10 at 10:30 AM

TY GOV. PURDUE!!!

#16 Prayer person on 10/02/10 at 12:28 PM

When did this become a political article. It says "The Governor is coming here for Prayer" If you attended this event there were ZERO political format. It was just a political figure sharing in prayer with the community. He isnt running again and never backed anyone or event mentioned either person running for his office.

And you need to look a little closer at who sponsored this event, it was sponsored by the ministerial association, not the school, not any political party, just people who care about this community coming together for prayer. Whats the harm in that?

#16.1 Anonymous on 10/02/10 at 09:04 PM

When a political figure goes out of his way to pray in public it's a political event. How I wish that we could separate religion from politics but it just is not going to happen in the south.

#16.1.1 Anonymous on 10/04/10 at 04:43 AM

"Seperation of Church and State" is not even in the constitution, so religion and politics CAN legally mix. That's just a phrase that many love to quote, and most don't even know the origin of the statement.

#16.1.1.1 Anonymous on 10/04/10 at 07:28 AM

Have you read the Constitution? It's there. Read it again, and this time, try to open your eyes as well as your mind.

#16.1.1.1.1 John Davis on 10/04/10 at 03:14 PM

I challenge you to show me where in the U.S. Constitution is it mentioned that "there shall be a seperation of church and state." It's NOT there. Thomas Jefferson responded to a letter from the Danbury, Connecticut Baptist Association asking why he had not set a day of thanksgiving as had been done by Washington and Adams. In his response Jefferson wrote that "there shall be a seperation of church and state." That's where it came from. It's not in the Constitution. If you tell a lie enough times, you begin to believe it.

Check out amendment 1.Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;

#16.1.1.1.1.1.1 John Davis on 10/05/10 at 09:43 AM

You are correct, but it does not say that "there shall be a seperation of church and state." Big difference! England had established the Episcopalian Church as the state church of England. The forefathers did not want something sililiar to happen in the new colonies.

#16.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 10/05/10 at 02:54 PM

You are correct. Those particular words are not there. BUT! "make no law" means the same thing-a prohibition of interaction between church and state.

#16.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 Anonymous on 10/06/10 at 05:59 AM

"Make no law" means they can not force it upon us, it doesn't mean they can't assist.

Laws are made to make things illegal, not legal.
