Moderates vs. Tea Party in Georgia

Posted in politics, tagged , , , , , , on October 11, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

As quiet as it is kept, I have some close friends who are Black conservatives.  Those people have had some sleepless nights over the direction of the Republican Party.  One would think Black conservatives would be hot commodities with President Obama in the White House but that isn’t necessarily the case. The Tea Party Movement [...]

Senator Isakson 2010 reelection easier

Posted in politics, tagged , , , , , on November 24, 2008 | 10 Comments »

The Chambliss-Martin runoff results won’t be a indictment of the Obama administration because our community is not crazy about Martin and does not have deep distain for Senator Chambliss.  My political friends and I remain puzzled by the GOP’s lack of connections with moderate Black Georgia.   The situation will be different when Georgia Senator [...]

Speculation: Sanford Bishop or Saxby Chambliss for Agriculture Secretary

Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged , , , , , , , , on November 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

This transition period is better than Fantasy Football because President-Elect Obama is sincerely committed to bridging the partisan divide.  What happens with Senator Clinton or Governor Richardson as Secretary of State makes me wonder if there will a position available in the cabinet for Richardson above his previous status?   Hopefully, a Georgian will be [...]

Saxby Chambliss and the Black Community

Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged , , , , , , , on November 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »

The runoff election between Saxby Chambliss and Jim Martin never should have come to this in my opinion.  As I have consistently stated, Chambliss is a good senator whose primary shortcoming is failing to develop a functional relationship with the African American community in Georgia.  Members of the House of Representatives can win elects with [...]

The nation focuses on the senate runoff election in Georgia between Republican Saxby Chambliss and Democrat Jim Martin.  Of course, the big question is “Will the African American community come back out to vote with Obama not being on the ballot?”  Another question is “Does President-Elect Obama have the power to persuade the Democrats to [...]

Palin Bashing not Helping Obama

You know I hate when family fights in public but I had to write a letter to the Editor of the Albany Herald regarding a fellow member of the Albany State University Pol Sci family and one Governor Sarah Palin.  For background, my letter responded to Dr. Konde’s op-eds stating that who you are as [...]

Vernon Jones and Hypocrisy

Posted in politics, tagged , , , on September 16, 2008 | 3 Comments »

Vernon Jones and Hypocrisy   I voted for Vernon Jones because I felt that Jones v. Saxby was a win-win situation for rural Georgia.  Jones established his centrist legislative record, knowledge of agriculture and rural development and strong executive experience.   To me, DeKalb County is as complex a government as Alaska and just about as cold.  [...]

Chambliss and Isakson Bipartisan Energy Plan

Posted in Georgia, politics, tagged , , on September 15, 2008 | 3 Comments »

The Albany Herald newspaper was as sweet as summer wine this morning.  It seems that Rush Limbaugh and the extreme right are upset that Georgia Senators Saxby Chambliss and Johnny Isakson are part of “Gang of 10” energy proposal   Their energy plan would allow drilling 50 miles off the coasts of Virginia, South Carolina, [...]
