Nancy Goes on Vacation, Republicans Go to Work

I hope the Republicans manage to get this whole debacle on film and then get it disseminated out for the masses. Since Nancy managed to get the cameras shut off I hope somebody had the savvy to send a staffer or two out for a video camera to record this. This is a potential goldmine for the Republicans if handled correctly. Take the footage and get it on the news, show up on every talking head show possible to draw attention to this, make the average American aware of what Nancy and her cut and run Defeatocrats did. It seems to be the entire Democrat platform, When the going gets tough, they go somewhere soft. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is the war in Iraq or acting on a common sense energy policy that includes drilling, their answer is to retreat back to their comfy homes and their circle of friends ready to give them a group hug. In keeping with the usual tactics of the liberal left also they have attempted to silence the voices of their critics by turning out the lights, turning off the cameras and microphones. Is there any doubt left that if given a complete Democrat control of the Executive and Legislative branches of government, the Fairness Doctrine would become a reality?
At this time I am represented by a Democrat in congress, (GA-13), but hopefully his challenger, Dr Deborah Honeycutt, will be able to make some good use out of this.

Why The November Elections Scare Me

Georgia had their primary elections yesterday and the outcome of a couple of the races is very telling. It involves the candidates running under the Democrat banner. It is very apparent to the Democrats in this country that candidates with a history of corruption and even criminal offenses is not enough reason for them to be denied election to office. Here are 2 cases in point.
The first is the race to determine the Democrat challenger to Saxby Chambliss for Senator from Georgia. There were five candidates on the ballot and no winner has been decided. They will have to go to a runoff to determine who the candidate will be. What is shocking is who the 2 candidates are that will be facing off in this runoff. They are Jim Martin and Vernon Jones.
Vernon Jones won the most votes, but why is that so shocking? Vernon Jones was the former CEO of Dekalb county Georgia, the same area that is home to Cynthia McKinney. Vernon Jones has been involved in one after another case involving abuse of his position while CEO, charges of corruption and even criminal charges of rape. If you Google "Vernon Jones Rape" you will receive 50,300 articles talking about the topic.
For Vernon Jones corruption you will get 48,900 articles.
Sometimes he was accused of doing both at the same time. What is also interesting in that article is that one of the reporters who contributed to that report, Dale Cardwell, was also on the Democrat ballot to challenge for this seat.
The rape charges were later dropped under mysterious circumstances and rumors of the victim being paid off.

The Democratic candidate himself is likely to be subject to questions about his personal life. As DeKalb CEO, Jones was the center of several controversies — including a 2005 rape allegation, in which a woman alleged Jones, who is not married, had assaulted her after a night of consentual sex with her and a second woman.

After a nine-month investigation, the woman withdrew the charges, but never recanted.

Jim Martin the other guy in this run off is a career politician and highly touted by the "Progressive Democrats". Progressives is code word for the folks who frequent web sites like the Daily Kos. Click on that link only if you are prepared to be subjected to some very vile, crude, and profanity laced reading. So the Dems have to choose between a candidate who ought to be in jail and one who has the endorsement of Kos crowd.

The second case is the one for my congressional district (GA-13). The Republicans have their candidate Deborah Honeycutt. The Democrat, who is the incumbent, is David Scott. This time he had some challengers, mainly because when you appear on the list of 25 most corrupt politicians in DC you would think there was some weakness. By the way that group is a liberal group. Well you would be wrong. He beat his competition 64% to 36%.
The reason to be scared is because come November it is expected that the Dems will be turning out in large numbers so that they can cast a vote for the Obama Messiah. They will go into the polling booth and ask for a Democrat ballot and vote for these guys right along with Changemeister. The voter either doesn't bother to get informed or else they are just apathetic to the personal flaws and politics of the candidates. Obviously they must be if they can follow blindly the rhetoric of Barack, who if he presented his resume to a Fortune 500 company, might have trouble getting hired based on how thin it is.

A Mother's Day Candidate Profile

Today's candidate profile is a woman running on the Republican ticket to unseat the current Democrat representative for my district in Georgia.

Her name is Deborah Honeycutt. To find out about the incumbent click on the tags at the bottom of the post, but this post is all about Mrs Honeycutt.

She is a doctor and this not her first challenge to the current corrupt politician who is holding the seat right now. A word of advice to Mrs. Honeycutt, don't ignore that sliver of Cobb County that is in the district you want to represent like you did last time. The district in question is 13th and it encompasses much of the southern and western portions of the metro Atlanta including Cobb, Fulton, Clayton, and Fayette. Clayton County is the county that is in danger of losing the accreditation for its schools that I have written about a lot, and one which once again is predominately an African American area and just can't or won't leave the Democrat plantation. That is what makes it such an uphill climb for Deborah Honeycutt. Even thought she is a successful African American woman she has that dreaded (R) after her name and to too many people they simply can't see beyond that.

In 2004 Dr. Honeycutt was President of the Georgia Academy of Family Physicians and in 2005 served as Chairman of the Board of Directors. On the national level she has served on the American Academy of Family Physicians’ Commission on Education. She was twice elected the nationally elected Minority Constituency Delegate and is now the Georgia State Delegate to the American Academy of Family Physicians.

In 2005 she became Medical Director of Good Shepherd Clinic, the free clinic in Morrow, Georgia. She served as medical director there until her decision to run for U.S. Congress in Georgia District 13. Dr. Honeycutt, despite her campaign schedule in 2006, continued to serve free clinic patients as a volunteer physician.

I don't think even the esteemed Dr Howard Dean can boast of such a record. Here is some more information on her stance in regards to small businesses.

Since her website is just starting up it is kind of sparse, but I hope she fills it up and I hope the RNC will see fit to send some money her way to get this corrupt Democrat out of office.
