Prayers For Speaker Ralston and Family [ September 2, 2010 – 7:32 pm] by Jeff Posted in State
I’ve just learned that Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives David Ralston’s father passed away today. Please join me in praying for his family.

Jason has a GREAT post about Republican scare tactics related to one Roy Barnes over on his site (and yes, I liked his title so much I largely borrowed it, so I’m giving him credit here).
Here’s a sample, I encourage you to go there to read the rest. (emphasis mine)
The “pseudo-crisis[es]” Jace is talking about is the “King Roy” meme and worries about redistricting.
The “King Roy” meme is just ridiculous. Republicans held the minority during his term as Governor from 1999 to 2003, so I’m sure the Republicans that were in the legislature at the time remember unpleasant fights over legislative issue. That stuff happens, especially when your party isn’t in control.

For “third” Parties, the magic number in any Gubernatorial election is 20%. At 20%, Ga law says the “third” Party is finally legally equal to the “Big 2″.
At least one site seems to think that John Monds could be near the 20% mark:
From the Free Independent-Sun:
I noticed something quite disturbing when studying recent polling for elections around the country. Rasmussen Reports will include upwards of 6 or 7 candidates in the Democrat and Republican Primaries, sometimes with candidates that only receive 1% of the vote, yet when it comes to the General Election they will only include the two Democrat-Republican candidates despite there being sometime upwards of 3 or 4 other candidates from Third Party Nominations or Independent Nominations. This case is most present and most dangerous in a particular Governor’s election in Georgia, where the African-American Libertarian Candidate John Monds is left out of General Election polls despite having won 33.4% in a statewide election in 2008, and apparently the most likely winner of the 15- 20% of unaccounted votes in Rasmussen Polls.
The results are in, and it appears the Georgia Republican Party has nominated a racist who denies President Obama’s natural American birth for Governor. (Sadly, per one recent poll, 25% of Americans agree with him on that second part in particular.)
Fortunately for Georgia, there is another man running who is NOT a racist in any way, is a strong fiscal conservative, and is dedicated to restoring the Freedoms Georgians have the God-given right to enjoy, but that the Democrats and Republicans have stolen from them.
That man is John Monds, and we welcome all disaffected Republicans who cannot in good conscience vote for Deal to vote instead for John.
Remember, Georgia is a runoff state, meaning there is absolutely NOTHING to lose by voting your conscience on November 2, and then your fear in the runoff – contrary to what Republicans are going to cram down your throat over the next few months (indeed, this has already begun).
Note: “Racist” in the title is in reference to the “ghetto grandmother” comment in the above video. We are fully aware that birtheism does not imply racism, and we sincerely apologize if we implied otherwise above.
a message from John Monds, Libertarian candidate for Governor:
This was supposed to be the year of angry voters, right?
Apparently the handful of establishment voters in yesterday’s primary didn’t get the message. Whatever they might say with their mouths, they spoke more clearly with their votes.
And what did these partisans say?

For those who haven’t yet seen it, check out these two stories on the Best News Network, part of a 4 part series they are doing:
The Real McBerry: Predator, Bully, and Secessionist
Part 1: McBerry: The Preying Candidate
They intentionally worked to not just retell the story of McBerry that is already out there on this site and in professional media such as AJC and Fox 5 Atlanta.
The key phrase to remember, particularly on the second article, is this: “Not criminal, but very, VERY creepy”
“Home”
“People”
“Determined”
“General David Poythress For Georgia Governor 2010″, aka “Fighter”
“Providence”
“Chalkboard”
“Foreclosure”
“Education”
“Pine Pellets”
“State Buildings”
“Travel for Jobs”
This isn’t a commercial, but it is the only video from the campaign on his youtube channel:
“Nathan Deal for Governor TV”
