KraftyFla: Welcome Mrs. Plunkett to The Fayette Political Graveyard

KraftyFla's picture

On altogether too often a frequency, Fayette County politicians (and elsewhere) speak of passionate commitment only to betray us with arrogant ignorance and, more importantly, refusing to do the people's will. Some are thinly veiled profiteers (Bob Sprayberry) and others are mental lightweights (Carol "Big Box" Fritz).

Bonkers: Sonnet to 120 banks

Don't feel so alone about your failing
You were duped by excitement and greed
Soon you will find others are flailing
Obama will soon write for you a new creed.

wildcat: sweet smell in PTC

There is some plant that grows along Robinson Rd (between the Parkway and Redwine) that has the most wonderful fragrance.

and symbolized the collapse of a system of government and a philosophy that simply could not sustain itself. Those brave people that protested and died in order to rid their lands of government imposed parasitic ideas of wealth distribution and alike are truly heroes. They understood that living under a such government forced a way of life that suppressed the natural abilities of man to move forward to create better conditions. They also knew that government is not the solution for all problems. They further knew that there would be a cycle of good times as well as lean and yet in spite this; they still yearned for a form of government that would free them.

Davids mom: Health care - Tea Party Proponent

It's been an interesting day with the Tea Party demonstrators at the capital regarding their opposition to the proposed health care reform bill - and the AMA and ARRP announcing their support of the proposed bill. Also, the charge that the 'Republican' support does not want the elimination of 'pre-conditions'. (Insurance companies ability to deny health coverage due to pre-conditions). It makes one want to try to read certain sections for clarity.

Mike King: Who in the Private Sector Would Hire Morons Like This?

Just a copy & paste from a right leaning blog that I thought might be worthy of a comment or two from folks who really think those in government have your interests at heart.

Bonkers: Mayor Haddix

Even less people will vote in the re-vote, so Haddix only needed 274 more votes to have 51%.

Now if a catastrophe happens---no one votes much, anything could happen, but that is not likely.

Elfie: Support for Lt. Daniel Berschinski

As you may know, Dan Berschinski, Eagle Scout from Peachtree City Troop 175, McIntosh High School graduate of 2002, and West Point grad of 2007 was very severely wounded in Afghanistan in August. Quoting from a report:

Lo these many years while you have enjoyed the rural Fayette lifestyle, guess who has subsidized it? Us city folk and city business owners, that's who!!!

Bonkers: No SPLOST: what to do

Since only about 15-20% of eligible citizens voted in the SPLOST vote, it is hard to say what it means that it failed so badly.

For the most part, the candidates have been issues oriented.

My family and I visited the Coweta Animal Control shelter this afternoon. One of the those we hope to adopt is actually scheduled to be euthanized if not adopted by tomorrow, 11/3.

Bonkers: 22,000,000 people need a job

Many others need a better paying job. (any family under 40,000 per year)

There are those (Boehner, for instance) who say that Obama promised 8% unemployment and it is near 10%, so he failed. Had all of eight months and failed.

30yrFville: Fayetteville-Mickey Edwards post 4

It is amazing that a candidate who asks for our trust and confidence can’t or won’t comply with the laws of the State Ethics Commission. It seems that Mr. Edwards has not bothered to itemize his expenditures for either this election or the last one according the the other (subscription) newspaper. He listed that he has spent to date $5189 and with all the newspaper adds that he has run since the report deadline and when that newspaper reported this, it will likely be much more! All paid for by the candidate! If you look at what the paper said he spent two years ago the last time he ran and assume he will spend at least that amount then he has spent over $20,000 of his own money to "get" a council seat. Why would he spend $20,000?? something smells! Either he just didn't want to list his contributors he may want to change the sign ordinance and Land Use Plan (interviw Fayette News 9-3-09).

An article in the AJC newspaper said that Limbaugh said Obama was way over his head with the job of President--that he was naive, ignorant, and really destroying the USA.

Bonkers: Largest Factoring Company broke!

Well, we are not going to get our TARP billions back from CIT Group, a large business factoring money house--they are Chapter 11. Also stockholders will get nothing for stock owned.
