Left on Lanier is a Hall County blog that does quite well with local, state, and some national issues. I just read of my candidacy for County Commissioner at LoL.
LoL could mean 'Laugh Out Loud' or Left on Lanier. In this case, it could be either.
Yes, I've been saying that any idiot would do a better job that that Chris Lutz guy. Why? Just because he associates with Craig Fetterman* who is a certified true Conservative. That is reason enough.
But do I want to run? Yeah. I have things that need to be said. I don't want the job of County Commissioner or any other 'elected' position. Winning a debate doesn't excite me much either. Winning an election? Only a rat can win a rat race. I'm disqualified at least on DNA.
So why invest enough time and effort to at least not embarrass myself?
I don't see any pay off in being known as 'politician' in our community. Being the third nutcase on the left is a better reputation.
While I'm still thinking about how much better government could be, please remember.
The GOP has been getting elected for 30 years on a platform that says our government is the problem. And our government and our economy has gotten steadily worse for 30 years.

Do you have a right to vote?
From Attorney General Thurbert Baker.
“The Governor’s proposal to take away people’s right to vote for four constitutional offices is simply wrong. In a state where the right to vote was fought for and advanced, it is insulting to propose taking that right away from people, especially for critical policy making positions that affect so many lives. These offices exist to serve the people, not to be political trophies for the politicians who would like to control them.”
There's a back story to this that I assumed most people knew.
The current lame duck Governor of Georgia got out his 'Sonny to do list' yesterday. From his list he picked out, "Take decision making away from the people."
The right to vote has been contested in the streets and in the battlefields. We won. We proved that monarchs and Kings have no right to appoint councilors and cardinals. Well, that was kind of way down the Right to Vote list, okay?
No one has a right to rule based on a parents station in life. And Sonny Perdue has forgotten that. He wants to amend the Georgia Constitution so that voters don't have to decide who controls executive branches. Perdue wants the future Governor to just make some appointments. These appointees will be just like the councilors and cardinals under King George of England a couple hundred years ago.
Yeah, there's quite an argument that voters just don't have the time to study all the issues or the intelligence to vote for the 'right guy.' And I did say 'guy' for a reason and not to just slam the women around these parts.
But for those who think that, why do we have a Democrat running the Attorney General's Office and a Democrat running the Department of Labor in an all red state?
Maybe Perdue et al know that voters really don't vote a straight party line. After all, we aren't just Republicans. Some of us are independent SOBs.
We fought for a right to vote. Don't let Sonny sell it.

Foreign Interference in US Elections
PM Tells World Obama a mistake!
Another close, personal friend of George W. Bush has tried to manipulate U.S. elections. The Prime Minister of Australia, a huge supporter of Bush and the Iraq occupation, says Al-Qaeda is praying for the Democrats and Obama in the 2008 elections.
Did the Prime Minister pray with Al-Qaeda? Is that how he knows?
