Georgia Embarrassments

Georgia once had a respectable former president. Respectable in that he may have not had a successful presidency but at one time led the way in building homes for Habitat for Humanity. He was a gracious man who was living quietly and letting his actions speak louder than words.

And then he became vocal. And now he is even more vocal. And worse yet, he called Rep. Joe Wilson a racist just because Mr. Wilson is from the South. Mr. Carter has gone off the deep end and isn't even treading water anymore.

But Georgia isn't just embarrassed by him. Rep. Hank Johnson has come out with the racism claims. Johnson replaced one moonbat named McKinney, who is still flying around the world trying to get media attention. People had hoped that Johnson would be different but within the last few days he opened his mouth to invoke the race card because someone would dare to hold a president accountable to the U.S. Constitution. Here is what Johnson said:
"I guess we'll probably have folks putting on white hoods and white uniforms again and riding through the countryside, intimidating people. That's the logical conclusion if this kind of attitude is not rebuked."
Yes, Georgia, we are the proud and the few. At least these two do not represent all of Georgia.

The Republican Party better not gloat either. Senator Saxby Chambliss had a hard fight in the last election and almost lost. Why? The Libertarian Party has become very strong here. The Democrats almost toppled Chambliss because many people are kicking the Republicans to the curb. The Democrats almost win because of the huge turn out for the Libertarian candidate. Wake up, Republicans.

Georgia is set for a mass transfer of power in the next election. I only hope people will think seriously about how they cast their votes. If a libertarian can carry the vote, then so be it. But if you are thinking about casting a vote for someone just because you are angry at the two leading parties, then make sure you are not keeping the Democrats in power. I believe that would be a worse fate for Georgia politics.

As for the two embarrassments, can we deal them to another state? Or do we have to stick to a straight flush?
